Sunny Day

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax Realty Group 316581
Last night Jim (my husband and Real Esate partner) went on a listing apt. in Gaithersburg Maryland. The seller decided to pick us to market his home. One of the reasons he chose us was because he was very connected to what the internet could do for him and he felt like we were very connected to it. Boy I didn't know how Unconnected we really were! After Jim went to bed I was playing on the internet and went to google...I put in "Realtor Ideas"...it led me to Active Rain. I have been a licensed Realtor since 1986 and thought I know alot...but I was sooo wrong!! I am so excited, I have learned so much in just a few hours. This is absolutely wonderful and I had no idea this type of community existed..I am sure it will give me ideas about marketing properties and finding new buyers and sellers. I am not really sure what you write in a blog. Actually last night was the first time I had ever read one. I am going to study what other people write to figure out what I should write and share...I have tons of real estate experiences that I am sure people would find funny, amusing and inspirational..Real Estate for me has been a wonderful career and lifestyle. I look forward to meeting everyone and will enjoy all of your comments. My first question is there a way to spell check??? Have a great day!

Hi Anne Marie, Ditto Dan's welcome. There is a lot to learn here from each other. And yes, you will find spell check on the tool bar. See you around in the rain!

Forgot to answer your question... Yes... There is a way to spell check and add graphics and links but it all seems to be missing this morning... Technical Difficulty....

Welcome AnnMarie - you will find some seasoned ARers and very, very witty blogs as well as some great ideas and lots of Newbies. Only a member for a month or so myself - it's exciting here on AR and I look forward to logging on each day. One thing I learned when I wrote my first blog - I didn't want the public to see it, but didn't know the difference. If you DONT flag it as "Members only", it is viewable by the public and they can comment. Some prefer to make all their blogs available for all to see. One blog I reference all the time by Mario Levesque is listed below with lots of good advice (not sure if I'm inserting this link appropriately)---pls advise if I did not.

Ann, Welcome, you will find a vast amount of information and ideas! The problem - you could spend all day here! Then once you master a new idea and have it working for you, along comes another brilliant post. So, now that you have found AR, there is no time to relak! :)
