"I have so many success stories from ActiveRain....I have gotten two listings from my activity here just in the last thirty days! I have others but, they were prior to that. I have also picked up three buyers and am about to hopefully go to contract...One of my new listings is from a fellow Realtor in California that owns an investment property here in Greensboro....I just received a call not two days ago from a women that is very active on the internet and has researched me through ActiveRain and actually withdrew her listing from another agent to get me to list their home! I love playing in the RAIN!"

"I met a buyer client through active rain by blogging about our local area. Since then I have successfully closed a cash sale with that buyer and have recent a direct referral from them. Being on Active Rain allows us to connect with people we might never meet otherwise! I am grateful for the networking possibilities that Active Rain affords me."
Rosi Green (AmeriTitle)
"Out of the entire social networking craze, ActiveRain is my favorite by far. I have connected with real, live people in my industry, I feel more informed, I have a pulse on the buzz of what is important and best of all... I come up on page one of a Google search! I've been running a parade throughout the Mid-Willamette Valley (Oregon) to get more people on board and help them create a bigger footprint on the web. Thank you ActiveRain for a wonderful platform."
John B. Joseph (Groupe Sutton)
"Before ActiveRain, I was dependent on learning about real estate from my own experience, my trainer, and other agents in my area. As the agents in my area compete it was difficult to get true, open advise. Not always because they did not want to, rather many times, they really were misinformed themselves. Since I joined ActiveRain, I have learned volumes from my fellow members on real estate, marketing, social and internet marketing. My blogging skills are improving and I am now developing a social marketing plan using the tools and ideas I learned exclusively through ActiveRain members. slowly, I am also developing my Associates list in my region, recommending others and building a list of very active members as associates across the continent. Thanks ActiveRain!"
Leslie Tapp (Your Team Realty, Inc.)
"A client saw one of my signs near her home and looked me up on Active Rain. She emailed me and said that she wouldn't even consider another agent, that from my profile she knew I was the right agent for the job. I listed her home, had two offers in less than a week and closed it 30 days later."
Melanie Hedrick (Keller Williams)
"After exactly three weeks on Active Rain (and 4 timid posts) I received a phone call about a community event I had written about. The caller asked for information on the event, and "by the way, was I a licensed Realtor?" She asked if I'd take a look at her rental property she wanted to sell -- two days later we had a listing agreement and her rent house was on the market. I was just floored. I mean, sure, that's what is supposed to happen, but ... it really actually worked! I'm still amazed at the lightening quick result. I can't wait to keep posting and improving and seeing what's in store for the future!"
Let it Rain my friends....Let it Rain!
