question for activerain members: Has anyone noticed old Activerain members coming back? - 07/21/15 01:08 PM

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lately Vegas Bob has noticed older members posting again and quite a few new members joining the Activerain network.
 
And I think the number one reason is because Ben Kinney now owns the Activerain network, and he brought Bob Stewart back.
 
Has anyone else noticed older members blogging again or more often then before?
Has anyone else noticed quite a few new members at the Activerain network?
 
What ever the reason may be for some old friends and faces appearing once again at Activerain and the new faces jumping aboard, Vegas Bob likes it.
 
And I personally think the Activerain network is going to take a full … (26 comments)

There are going to be many questions that will be on the minds of the Activerain members after the purchase of AR from Zillow to Ben Kinney.
A member left a good question on one of my earlier posts today ...
 
I wonder what will happen to all links to our previous posts. I assume they are not going to work anymore, since they would have trulia in them?

question for activerain members: Can anyone please tell me where the Activerain name came to be? - 02/25/15 11:36 AM
I know there have been posts written about where the Activerain name came from, but I have never read any.
 
So after being a member of the Activerain network since January 2008, I would like to know who named this real estate network ... ActiveRain?
 
It is quite an unusual name, but then again so is Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, just to name a few.
 
So if there are any Activerain members that might know where the Activerain network got it's name, please come forward.
And who was the person that named it, and where there any other … (29 comments)

question for activerain members: How many RE Brokers & Agents at AR are Licensed - 11/23/14 04:08 AM
How many RE Brokers & Agents at AR are Licensed?
 
Vegas Bob has always wondered if all the Brokers & Agents at ActiveRain are really licensed to sell Real Estate.
Vegas Bob over the last 3-4 years has sent emails to Brokers & Agents in other states, asking for information on Real Estate in the state they are licensed. What's puzzling is approxemently only 60% of the emails Vegas Bob sends out get replies back. 
So this being said, Vegas Bob is either thinking his emails are going into the Spam area of the ActiveRain members email addresses ... 
Or … (25 comments)

question for activerain members: Can a person purchase a home without Citizenship of a "Green Card"? - 04/24/11 06:41 PM
Can a person purchase a home without Citizenship of a "Green Card"?
 
I know that Real Estate Laws in general are different across the United States of America, and I have never sold property to a client from another country and that's why I am throwing this post out to Activerain.
Are there laws that keep foreigners from purchasing Real Estate in the United States?
I remember back in the 1980s when Japanese Investors where hitting the major cities across the United States including Hawaii & Alaska, and purchasing large percentages of cites before President Ronald Reagan and Congress changed … (12 comments)

question for activerain members: Robert Swetz is debating whether to have Amazon Books sell his book, what are you opinions? - 01/04/11 04:55 AM
Robert Swetz is debating whether to have Amazon Books sell his book?
I have spoken to several people about having (Amazon Books) carry and sell “The Dark Side of David”. Because of the subject matter I am not sure if Amazon Books will want to carry DSOD. And then again I am not sure if I want to ONLY get 45% profit from my book and Amazon Books taking 55%
What are some of your opinions on this subject?
If you published a book would you be willing to let Amazon Books take 55% of the profit from your book?

question for activerain members: "Do you know why your here?" - 03/19/10 05:30 PM

 
 "Do you know why your here?"
 
 Many of us when were young go through life always wondering why were here and what our purpose in life is. Some of us find out very young what our purpose is and some people never find out.
 I have searched my life "Day in & Day out" for the answer and sometimes when I think I may have found the answer I realized it was a dead end or a false reason.
 The question I am asking is more within a persons self and not answers such as "I was born … (12 comments)

 Do you think Cats are the only ones with (nine lives)?
 How many of you think Cats are the only ones with nines lives and where did this saying come from. And what about dogs, can they have more than one life.
 On my visit to South East Asia back in 2008 we were riding horse and buggy around Bagan Myanmar (Burma) because it was the only way to travel in certain parts of the country.

 We would ride the buggy to different temples and I would take photographs and listen to some of the stories that the local Burmese … (5 comments)

question for activerain members: Is December a big month for selling homes? - 12/06/09 10:50 PM
 Is December a big month for selling homes?
 I have always wondered how many homes really sell around the Christmas & New Year holiday. I would think with all the shopping, traveling and preparing for these major holidays that not to many homes sell.
 I myself have never sold a home or property around these holidays, have you?
 And if you have sold any properties around Christmas and New Year is it more work because of the hustle and bustle and the round of the New Year?
 Inquiring minds want too know!
