Beth - A big welcome from the golden state.  You are going to find AR to be a wealth of information that will assist you in your business.  I strongly suggest taking advantage of some of the free webinars AR put on to help you get better aquainted with the platform.  Don't worry the pool is very friendly, so dive in and share your thoughts.

Hi Beth!  From one newbie to another - Welcome to AR!  :)

A bajillion years ago, my father built houses in Santa Teresa and, being the dutiful daughter, I spent many a days running to Cruces for building permits and title/escrow errands.  I ended up in Albuquerque and after 20 years in NM packed it all up and came to Seattle.  I love the rain but miss green chile!

Hiya Beth - welcome to the 'Rain - now you have become part of the collective...you will become web savvy and adept at leaping tall buildings in a single bound (or something like that).

Glad you're here & strap your thinking cap on - you're gonna learn a bunch from everyone on AR!

Welcome to AR. My advice to you (not that you asked)? Dive right in and participate. Write and post often, and comment even more often to develop relationships with other members.  Spend time here daily and scale the learning curve with enthusiasm! After awhile you'll be pleasantly surprised how easy writing gets.

And don't forget to check out Brad Andersohns AR user manual.

I'd love to hear from you, please feel free to contact me by clicking my link at the bottom of this comment if I can be of service.
