There are thousands of tips, tools, and tricks of the trade here. Be sure to check them out. Best of luck and see you around.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your note. As you can see by our profile Glenn and I grew up in the north east.We have been through what you are experiencing now. We don't miss digging ourselves out to catch a train to the city.
Your right Hilton Head Island is the right place to be. Yesterday and today droppeddown into the 40's but tomorrow through the balance of the week we are back up in the mid to high 70's. Clear skys. A wonderful time for families and the dogs to play on the beach.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Hi Glenn and Jane, and Welcome to the Rain!
Kevin Sandridge, here. I joined the Active Rain community not too long ago myself and wanted to drop a line to share some of the good vibes and welcome wishes I have received already.
A Bit About Active Rain
I'm very excited about this community - basically because folks seem so willing to help out, provide industry insight, and share their good news and experiences!
When I started out on Active Rain, I felt a little overwhelmed. I hope the following points and suggested sites will help bring you into the mix! Just my way of saying that I'm glad you're here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One: Be sure to include a good amount of information on your profile page. Check out the profiles on other Realtor's sites here on Active Rain who are listed as "Featured" or "Tops" in their area (look for high point totals). You'll find that this will seriously boost your presence on ActiveRain - via the added points.
Two: I urge you to keep blogging on this site! You will be AMAZED at the awesome feedback you receive very soon after they hit the network! I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs that provide me with ideas about what I'd like to comment on - both industry wise and just for fun! Check it out. I am more than willing to step you through the site and to help you get a few more blog posts generated if you wish - as a way of adding some value and paying forward some good networking vibes! :)
Three: Be sure to add in a good number of posts about what you think and consider pertinent regarding your area of expertise! You'll notice that many if not all of the Featured posting bloggers here on AR do this.
Lastly, I do quite a lot of work via social networks, email campaigns, and relationship building. If I can ever be of any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.
Here are a few great sites to visit (some of my favorites). If you like the information they provide, be sure to let them know I sent you!
- Bloodhoung Blog - Greg Swann, Bloodhound Realty (They also offer a FREE RE Blog Service!) Note: These guys are way, way, way ahead of the curve. Hold on tight. It's gonna be a wild ride!
- Real Estate Tomato - site maintained by Jim Cronin. A must see for new Real Estate Bloggers!
- Seth Godin's Blog - The Reigning Permission Marketing Guru. Check out his latest book, Tribes!
- The Real Estate Zebra - Daniel Rothamel is a one of a kind inspiration in the Real Estate Blogging arena. Do yourself a favor and check out his site.
- Jeff Turner's Main Page - Jeff is always on top of what's happening in the world of social networking and media! Absolutely make this page a part of your learning experience!
- Twitter - Twitter is a micro-blog that lets you keep friends and contact posted on what you're doing throughout the day. I use it all the time, and so do many others in our profession. Read this article I wrote on using Twitter to find out why it might add to your bottom line!
- The Florida Mortgage Blogger - Ok - so I had to plug my own site! Check it out. Would love to have you on as a subscriber!
Looking forward to what you'll share with us here on Active Rain! :)
Blessings,

Why is everyone who is having sunny weather teasing us right now? Welcome to the rain and can you send me some plane tickets so I can be away from this mess we are having here with 10 inches of snow? Oh, wait, our airport is closed, that wouldn't do me any good to have plane tickets.
