2025 Shall Be The Year Of ActiveRain!

2025 Shall Be The Year Of ActiveRain!

When I joined Activerain, the Covid Crisis was still a decade away (do the math on that). In those early Years Activerain was a terrific resource. At the time the big box broker training was way behind the times (sound familiar). 

Like many members, I drifted away over the years. Why? Because I knew everything of course! When I started working my new market I came back. Boy I'm happy I did! Here are some ways I see Activerain helping in 2025. 

1) We can learn from others-- How did I learn about short sales back in the day? By using the search feature on AR. Presto! a multitude of free training on the subject. By doing so I was MiLES ahead of the local agent learning curve. 

2) ActiveRain allows a better understanding of the national real estate market-- Sure real estate is local. Some markets lag while others set the standard. But understanding the big picture can help the agent notice changes in their market. 

3) The platform Is a great source for referrals--I encourage readers to engage with other members. Not ready to write posts? Comment on other member posts! And btw, still have writing reluctance? Just do it! Over the years the members have been supportive, even when a particular post may fall flat. 

4) Activerain lacks a bunch of the outside noise/drama-- The agent groups on social media tend to morph into political discourse or my company is better than your company. Knock on wood, but haven't seen much on this to date. 

5)...

ActiveRain community, what would your number 5 be???

Did you ever do a live Activerain Bootcamp? Those were a blast!

Well said, Doug!!!  Over the years I've seen members leave and return. It's understandable. Back in 2007-2008 agents were navigating the down market. ActiveRain helped everyone learn how to write blogs. The information is here and so is the support. Very happy you're back.

Yes indeed, we can certainly learn from each other and get to know each other and refer to each other! I totally agree.

Hello Doug - far from perfect, ActiveRainLand remains a spot of more civility than what is found on most social media sites.  For the most part.

I suppose it’s kind of thing is just something to be practiced in a way that it’s muscle memory.. It might be a good thing

And to be clear, I do think 2025 will be a great year in multiple ways. There might be a couple of surprises in there this year, but may we all do really well this year!
