Happy to Join the ActiveRain real estate community

Hey Judie, and Welcome to the Rain!

Kevin Sandridge, here. I joined the Active Rain community not too long ago myself and wanted to drop a line to share some of the good vibes and welcome wishes I have received already.

It's so great to see another Florida Real Estate Professional here on the network! 

As your neighbor, I wanted to take a minute to share a few things with you that I wish someone had shared with ME when I started here on Active Rain...

A Bit About Active Rain

I'm very excited about this community - basically because folks seem so willing to help out, provide industry insight, and share their good news and experiences!

When I started out on Active Rain, I felt a little overwhelmed.  I hope the following points and suggested sites will help bring you into the mix!  Just my way of saying that I'm glad you're here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One:  Be sure to include a good amount of information on your profile page.  Check out the profiles on other Realtor's sites here on Active Rain who are listed as "Featured" or "Tops" in their area (look for high point totals).  You'll find that this will seriously boost your presence on ActiveRain - via the added points. 

Two: I urge you to keep blogging on this site!  You will be AMAZED at the awesome feedback you receive very soon after they hit the network!  I use Google Reader to subscribe to blogs that provide me with ideas about what I'd like to comment on - both industry wise and just for fun!  Check it out.  I am more than willing to step you through the site and to help you get a few more blog posts generated if you wish - as a way of adding some value and paying forward some good networking vibes!  :)

Three: Be sure to add in a good number of posts about what you think and consider pertinent regarding your area of expertise!  You'll notice that many if not all of the Featured posting bloggers here on AR do this.

Lastly, I do quite a lot of work via social networks, email campaigns, and relationship building.  If I can ever be of any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Here are a few great sites to visit (some of my favorites).  If you like the information they provide, be sure to let them know I sent you!

• Bloodhoung Blog - Greg Swann, Bloodhound Realty (They also offer a FREE RE Blog Service!) Note: These guys are way, way, way ahead of the curve.  Hold on tight.  It's gonna be a wild ride!
  
  
• Real Estate Tomato - site maintained by Jim Cronin.  A must see for new Real Estate Bloggers!
  
  
• Seth Godin's Blog - The Reigning Permission Marketing Guru.  Check out his latest book, Tribes!
  
  
• The Real Estate Zebra - Daniel Rothamel is a one of a kind inspiration in the Real Estate Blogging arena.  Do yourself a favor and check out his site.
  
  
• Jeff Turner's Main Page - Jeff is always on top of what's happening in the world of social networking and media!  Absolutely make this page a part of your learning experience!
  
  
• Twitter - Twitter is a micro-blog that lets you keep friends and contact posted on what you're doing throughout the day.  I use it all the time, and so do many others in our profession.  Read this article I wrote on using Twitter to find out why it might add to your bottom line!
  
  
• The Florida Mortgage Blogger - Ok - so I had to plug my own site!  Check it out.  Would love to have you on as a subscriber! 
  

Looking forward to what you'll share with us here on Active Rain!  :)

Blessings,

Mary, Welcome to active rain!

You and I have opportunity to do each other a favor; we are both in the same business with the same interest and have clients who come and go--possibly from central Illinois to your area and vice-versa. While we can't control who is moving, or where they are going to live next, I sure would like it if there were someone out there in the real estate business, in your area, with whom I could build a working relationship with.

That way if a seller is moving to your area, I could recommend you. Also, I could recommend you if my buyer had to sell in your area prior to buying a home here. And, of course, you could do the same for me if your people had business in my area.

Sounds like a fair trade.

I pay brokers 30% for all closed referrals to Central Illinois.

Central Illinois is home to Caterpillar, Kraft Food, Carle Hospital, Decatur Memorial Hospital, University of Illinois, Millikin University, Archer Daniels Midland, Tate and Lyle and so much more.

Yours truly,

Corey Davenport - Broker, REALTOR
