Dawn Workman (Veracity Real Estate Group)  "ActiveRain has been an integral part of my success in real estate. I have not only learned much, and had response on the ads I post on ActiveReai but I can also link a real life buyer and commission to ActiveRain. I had a buyer call me and tell me that he read all of my blogs as well as many other agent's blogs on ActiveRain and he wanted to hire me! He bought one of my listings a few months later. Currently I am working with another buyer that got my information from ActiveRain. Blogging works, have fun with it!"

Justin Nickelsen (Nickelsen Home Inspections)  "I have been a member of Active Rain since ... about the time that it came out. I have to say that I have personally scheduled over 15 home inspections in that time directly from Active Rain. It is an excellent tool for all real estate professionals, and I would highly recommend it to anyone....."

Karol Yeager (Realty Five)  "I love the great informaiton I get on Active Rain... if I need more education on a certain topic I go straight to The Rain!!! Ask and you shall recieve, it is all here to soak up and put to good use in your business."

Duane Murphy (Coldwell Banker)  "I almost don't want to share this but two days after activating my profile and taking time to edit my information I received a call from someone wanting me to list his property. I am happy to say that we are now closing on his property soon. Thank you Active Rain! After being on Active Rain and starting to get more active I have noticed every time I "google" myself or my website that I am now showing up first page consistently......"

James Wirth (Guild Mortgage)  "When I was searching for a new home for my blog I was referred by a number of my associates to ActiveRain. Little did I know that I had found THE premiere blog site for the Real Estate community. Consumers trust ActiveRain to provide bonafide information from established professionals, and it works! I attribute a number of transactions to ActiveRain, both for initiating the contact and establishing myself as an industry leader. ActiveRain is amazing!"

Terry Bonnie Westbrook (Westbrook Realty Broker-Owner)  "Active Rain has made me the "contact" in my local neighborhoods. I have received many calls where people tell me I am the only source that comes up when they are searching for local housing information on the internet. I recently posted a blog about some of the homes in our local area that are great BUYS based on square footage. I received a call within days of posting the blog from a buyer that wanted me to show them a home that was listed. We wrote an offer after showing it, it was accepted, and we are anticipating closing our first sale directly from AR soon. Thanks to the Active Rain platform, it has successfully gotten buyers' attention for me."

Make it a great week everyone....and Let it Rain!!!
