New to active Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with MagnumOne Realty CA BRE Lic. # 01418097

Well, it is a new year and time for some new activities.  I have maintained a blog, "Keep it Real in Sacramento" on my http://www.jalone.com/ website for several years.  It has been fun writing about the real estate industry, the local market in Sacramento and a host of other topics that interest me or cross my path.  I have even been know to rant and provide a restraint review or two.  I have watched Active Rain for sometime and have been impressed with the growth and community of members so I thought I give it a spin too.

My business has been growing for the past several years and I concentrate on developing long term relationships with my clients.  Most of my marketing dollars are spent on my son's elementary school community and some Internet advertising.  I would say the source of my business is 50 percent from my contacts, 25 percent referrals and the balance from the website.

Prior to starting MagnumOne Realty I was with Lyon Real Estate in Roseville.  Although I think very highly of the company they were not a good fit for my business model and I found the lack of flexibility hurt my client service.  MagnumOne is a small operation, will never be large and is dedicated to providing individual customized service.  We have a philosophy with our agents that working together increases the success of our individual businesses. 

I am looking forward to meeting more of the Active Rain community and participating.

Welcome Julie. The quickest way to get fully involved here is to comment 10 times a day no matter what. All the rest of the stuff you already know from having your other blog. Best of luck...

cheers

Julie, I started here almost a year ago but I was totally new to blogging. Since you already have an outside blog it should be easy for you.  I have loved the relationships I have developed in my year in the rain.  I hope you enjoy it also.
