Hello Activerain, My very first blog

By
Real Estate Agent with Realtor
Hello everyone, this is my first blog.  My son and partner, Charles, is an avid blogger.  He introduced me to activerain.  I have been doing real estate for approximately 7 years.  The first two years as a loan officer and the last 5 as a realtor.  I perfer working directly with individuals and families to help them find the right property.  I hope my perspective will be a positive addition to Activerain.  After reading many of your blogs I am convinced that I have a lot to learn, and I have found the perfect forum in which to enhance the knowledge I have.  I look forward to meeting all of you, and exchanging ideas and information.

Kathryn, you are doing the right thing so keep reading and discovering all that is "out there" for you in the way of resources.  I've been at this business for over 30 years and am constantly in awe at what technology has done for us. Good luck.

Briget, Susan, Mary, and Meg,  Thank you for your comments.  As you can see I have already started to blog away.  I am learning new things every day, and finding that there are lots of sides to each story.  Very Cool.
