Mike in Tucson Invited Me to Join Active Rain

By
Real Estate Appraiser with Old Pueblo Appraisal Services

Until I met Mike, I'd never heard of the Active Rain Real Estate Community.  Now I'm it's newest member.

I'm an appraiser covering greater Tucson and Maricopa county, and I love what I do.  I'm good at what I do, and I take pride in doing what I say I'm going to do. 

I'm looking forward to being a part of this great community of Real Estate related people and making new business contacts.

Welcome to Active Rain. This is a great forum to exchange ideas in these economic times. I believe everyone should look at all income steams as we enter a new paradigm. I have multiple income streams.

Welcome Brad!!!  This really is a great place to network and get new ideas.  I actually had sushi with the CEO of Activerain Corp...  He lives about 20 minutes down the road from me.  Really great guy, and he and his team have put together something special here.  Just to give you an example of the sort of insights that you can come up with by interacting here on AR, I'll share one of mine...  I did my first open house back in Novermber of '07, and it was horrible.  Nobody showed up.  I posted a blog about it asking for advice, and got tons of responses from people I never even met before.  But, after reading their responses and seeing how little success everyone else was having with open houses and after taking some of their suggestions to heart, I actually came up with a new way to do them (i.e. over the internet via streaming video).  So, don't be shy about posting questions here or asking for advice or help with anything.  The people here are great and we really do help eachother out.  Good luck to you, Brad; and keep posting!!!
