Train Under Clouds With A RainbowI was first licensed over 10 years ago.  At that time the industry was beginning to undergo significant changes.  Listings came in optional paper catalogs.  The main method of access was with a dial-up system.

Today is a very different world and many innovations have forced sales people to stay on their toes.

A few months ago I interviewed Brian Brady.  At that time Brian pointed out to me how becoming a member of The Rain is like hitching a ride with “the geeks.”  In this particular case the geeks had put together an innovative real estate network.  I'd like to see The ActiveRain Real Estate Network stay that way.

There will always be changes to how marketing and promotion gets done.  Over the last 10+ years real estate marketing has been moving on-line.  As more changes come, The ActiveRain Real Estate Network will seek to help bring the benefits to the membership creating a better work experience for us all.

You bet Caleb!  We're on board the AR Train and we're not going anywhere but where that train takes us.  Thanks for all your help.

Right on Caleb. The greatest about hanging with the "geeks" is that it results in referrals and repeat business!!!!!!!!!

Caleb, how the world turns - I left the world of IT for real estate and find myself right back in the middle of it - the difference is i love what technology does to allow us to deliver better service to our clients and be able to be face to face more often. Thanks for the great community you've created and for once I'd be a happy to be thought of as a "real estate geek" - I have a feeling the geeks will win this one :-)

I have no doubt about it, Caleb.  Membership in Active Rain does let us "hitch a ride with the geeks".  Loosely translated, it means that it allows us non-tekkies to get cutting edge information about online marketing.  Active Rain is the premier spot for such a learning experience.

I am a proud member of Active Rain for 9 months.  I link to it, I link from it, I promote it, I criticize it.  Why?  I love this network.

Man, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love the rain train! I've gained so many amazing marketing ideas here and insight on how to deal with certain situations. It's invaluable and I greatly appreciate you all for making it possible.

I want to write a new song.... it will be sang to the tune of Kat Stevens' Peace Train... but it will be the RAIN TRAIN. I'll let you know as soon as I have lyrics... perhaps I'll post them for all to enjoy!

Caleb...  I agree with Craig S.....  he brings up a great point. And Brian Brady brings up a great point, because I am not one of those techie geeks. So, because of that, I have learned so much.... thanks to all.

I think of ActiveRain as one big mastermind session. There's always great info on a wide variety of topics, and that's in great part due to the technology that lets us communicate so easily.
