My ActiveRain Success Story

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Delaware Association of REALTORS®

I have been a member of Active Rain for just over a week.  I have known about ActiveRain for about six months and knew that it had a lot of merit because of the marketing and education potential. 

Today AR  hit 100,000 and today I used my participation in ActiveRain to keep a major listing for the Debbie Reed Team.   

I was asked to meet with the client because of my internet marketing background and things were going smoothly but with no real committment from the client about extending the listing agreement.

Then I mentioned my participation in a social network/marketplace of REALTORS and the client knew what I was talking about and was highly enthused that we are invovled.

 My team leader, Debbie Reed, was thrilled. 

So Thank you Active Rain and congratulations on your 100,000 member.

That's great news!  It's so refreshing when you find out that consumers are actually aware of AR and reading posts.  And that they also see the potential in such a powerful tool.

Congratulations, It looks like Active Rain has paid off for you too. I had a client call and ask me represent her because she was searching on Active Rain,saw my photo and remembered meeting me several years ago. You never know when the contacts you make here will pay off.
