AR Zoom Calls - Real Conversations. Real Learning. Real Relationships. Real Estate Gold.
Oh, How I Love Our AR Zoom Tuesdays! For over four years—missing only two Tuesdays!—our weekly ActiveRain Zoom calls have been a constant source of connection, collaboration and learning. These gatherings have become a cornerstone of my week and I genuinely look forward to each one.
Some weeks, we dive into deep discussions on real estate trends, tools & tactics. Other times, we keep things lighter with roundtable chats but, even then, the nuggets of wisdom that surface are ALWAYS worth the time. I can't think of one meeting that I didn't walk away, having learned something new—and of course I've done so with a few laughs too!
Take last week, for example. We were joined by our very own Carol Williams, who shared all kinds of fascinating insights about Washington state. One of the many tidbits that stuck with me is that Wenatchee only gets 10 inches of rain per year! Later that night, as my husband and I watched our rain gauge spike to 3.65 inches in just two hours, we couldn't help but chuckle. "We've already had more rain than Carol’s city gets in an entire year!" we said. These personal connections and relatable stories are just part of what makes our community so special.
And it’s not just fun facts—we also gain actionable knowledge. A recent standout was John Meussner, who gave an exceptional presentation on rate buy-down products. Thanks to what I learned, I confidently guided not one but, TWO buyers—one who used a 3-2-1 buy-down and another who went with the 2-1 option—into successful home purchases.
John's insight even helped me advise a seller when we received an Offer 2 weeks ago, involving a buy-down request. Because of John’s info, we were able to craft a well-informed counteroffer that kept the deal moving forward.
These calls wouldn’t be what they are without the incredible members and their guests who show up, share their knowledge & support each other week after week. From forestry & lending, inspections & cyber protection, members who served in the military, travel to real estate strategies & personal anecdotes—the range of expertise goes on and on and on.
A huge thank you to everyone who’s ever presented, participated or simply listened in. And hats off to those who work behind the scenes to come up with topics and recruit speakers—your creativity and dedication are truly what make these calls possible: Kathy Streib, Eileen Burns 954.483.3912, Carol Williams, Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 & Kat Palmiotti.
We are also SO very appreciative of George Souto's weekly announcement - where you'll find our Zoom link (always the same link). In his weekly post, he uses a featured graphic, created by our own Craig Daniels.
If you’ve never joined us for one of our Zooms, I promise you—you’re missing out. Add us to your weekly Tuesday calendar at 2PM EST (with the link). You'll be glad you did! If you have joined us, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Here’s to many more Tuesdays of learning, laughter and community!
