We can learn so much from each other on Active Rain. For me, it's like continuing ed online every time I log on. Technology tips, dealing with difficult situations, marketing - all these topics are here for the taking. It's an information smorgasbord! I have a particular interest in economics, but there is so much to learn from the questions posed and the answers provided from agents who want to do better, more professional business. The sharing of best practices benefits every agent, and ultimately, the public.
I see our success as agents having three components: our sphere of influence, use of the internet for marketing, and expertise in our markets. Active rain allows our "public" to follow us through our blogs, and lends content to our websites. We should be doing more and more internet advertising. I just went on Zillow to update my profile, after reading a recent blog. These reminders from fellow agents allow us to stay focused and current, despite our busy schedules. With respect to expertise, we can have the top agents in the country "coach" us, as to how they achieve top status in their markets. All we have to do is read their postings.
So, thank you! To all my fellow bloggers, I appreciate the time and talent you put into your posts. Let us all continue to work towards an industry known for its excellence and experience. There is a reason that our model of real estate is being adopted worldwide. Its transparency and constant pursuit of excellence is the gold standard.
