Great list! Kristine
Ditto to all of the above...great information for all of us. And especially helpful since all the links are in one post!!!
Bob and Kerrie, I think this is an excellent post not just for Newbies, but some of us Oldies too could use some brushing up on all the above resources here.
Great Outline for anyone !! Thank You Robert
OK, it may be time for some of us 'oldsters' to review this list, thanks.
Depending on the year you joined is how developed the system was at the time. I personally took the newbie webinars to hone my skills. Changes happen constantly and we certainly appreciate all the leaders who step into the position of building a greater community when we have strong guidelines and resources.
Thanks to one and all the Leaders in this wonderful community
Great resource!
But, Active Rain it not an instance panacea to lack of knowledge or people skills.
Active Rain is like the door to a huge library. The information you seek is in there along with plenty of fiction! The point is you’ll find what you seek!
The very best of real estate, mortgage lending/borrowing and sales are here, but you have to search for it.
The best results come from participating, post what you know and post questions asking about what you want to know!
Welcome aboard!

Hello AR,

Thanks for the great info on how to get started.
Great get started page. I look forward to going though and finding my way around!
So glad you're here Maria and Joe! Reach out should you need anything at all!
I'm going to bookmark this page as I am getting reacquainted with ActiveRain. I was a devoted Rainer up until a few years ago when I was inundated with REO listings and had very little free time. Now it's time to dedicate myself again to traditional real estate and the things I have missed- including ActiveRain! Thanks very much for all of the information you make available!
We're glad you're back Leslie! AR has had tons of updates to make your blogging efforts easier so just give us a shout if you need any help getting reacquainted.
Glad to be aboard
Glad to be aboard! Active Rain is a fantastic community! Looking forward to interacting with as many as possible and developing great business relationships!
No better place to be Stan and Charles! If you're available, I'd love for you to join us for our Blogging Boot Camp series that kicks off June 6th. It will definitely help you get your feet wet.
Welcome and thank you for making our community grow!
Thanks for the in vite will do
I am new to ActiveRain but already feel that it will be worth my effort.
