Are You Missing Opportunities on Active Rain?

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Indiana Realty

Are You just letting the rain drops slip through your fingers?

This morning while keeping myself occupied while I have time on floor duty, I thought I would check Active Rains Q & A section, as I do periodically. Sometimes it's very interesting reading, and sometimes it can be beneficial, but at the least it's educational.

This mornings posts were interesting, and potentially beneficial for another agent, Not myself!  Although they say what goes around also comes around?  So since I like to Pay it Forward!  I thought I would quickly send off a brief email to the potential agent in the area of the query.

So I copied and pasted the inquiry and sent it off, and recommended the agent I contacted, contact the inquirer.  I believe they will, and likely sooner than most would.  Hopefully the outcome of my small bit of intervention, proves beneficial to the agent.

I'm sure that this potential client won't realize who actually helped them, but the agent will know!  By the way, for the agent that I sent the Q & A question.  No need for thanks!  Just appreciate my effort to reach out and help someone, actually two separate parties, the client and you the agent.

I use some of my floor duty time to explore Active Rain, also but somehow I missed Q&A.  I agree with you that it is hard to imagine that agents in this time do not have websites and profiles on as many sites as they can get.  Thanks for the information; I will certainly add it to my daily activities.

John, You're welcome, glad to see I've enlightened you.

Linda, I hope you find it beneficial, considering it should only take 30 seconds to 5 minutes total if you answer a question.

Lisa & Robert- Some .Tresures slip into obscurity.

Good Evening Marcy,  Yes, Active Rain's Q & A could be just as beneficial.  But I don't think it's as utilized as Trulia or Zillows, yet!
