Former Skeptic Becomes a Believer!

Real Estate Agent with REMAX Properties 20569686

I've seen many blogs talking about AR bringing more business to individuals and businesses but I didn't believe it could happen to me. Until now..... Thanks to Active Rain I am getting a website! James Arias contacted Eduardo Alvear and I to give us the opportunity to have our own website. Being newer to Real Estate I'm trying to get my name out there so I had been researching this very idea for about a month now. I knew what I wanted and had a good idea of what it would cost. The biggest challenge was getting a quality website for a good price. Well, when we listened to James' presentation it was a perfect fit. He offers an excellent product at an excellent price. Thank you to Active Rain and to James Arias. I've become a believer.

Realtor,

Just a suggestion.... Before you spend money on building a website check out the point2agent website. That is what I use and it gives you everything you need. You can have a standard website or you can upgrade it to professional or to executive. I just thought you might want to check that out first.

Hey, Kristi -

AR is a powerful tool to build your network in real estate - for FREE (but you do have to work at it by writing - which you can do!)

I ditto Point2Agent - my website hosted there, as well as the blog that comes with it - is working far better than I expected, and the price is competitive (might want to consider the Professional Option - $50/month - far easier to customize.

Call us anytime - we in Chicago love working with MN Real Estate People!

Thanks for the tips! I'll check it out! :) So far James has had the best pricing, maintenance free (their team does the work) and the site has the option of being bilingual. That's a must for us in Southern Minnesota.

I'll add realtydrive.com to the list as well.  I am able to do my own updates to freshen up the site periodically.

Kisti...There are many possibilities out there.  Chose wisely and you will benefit.  Having your own site is a great way to attract business and so is Active Rain!

Cheers,

Kathleen
