What truly amazes me is the total depth and breath of the wealth of information that can be gleaned here on AR.
As many of us as there are, you would think that we could all share info, get referrals, and expand our customer databases without using this forum solely as a marketing tool for our listings, or to troll for buyers.
Yet I have found that many agents have not yet gotten outside of the box when it comes to AR.
To date, I have yet to post any of my listings on AR. Even if I had 100 listings, I wouldn't post them here (well, maybe if...)
One of the reasons why I would not is because there are soooo many other sites which are much more accessible to buyers and sellers alike to obtain the pertinent information on a house. Google, Realtor.com, Open House, the list is not quite endless, but all of you who are in this business know exactly what I mean.
Of course, time is a major factor for many of us. But seriously, how much time does it really take to write a quality post at least once a week? Thoughts on how to help sellers and buyers? Suggestions for fellow real estate agents? Sharing the triumphs of your day/week?
The power of Active Rain for many of you has yet to be discovered. In order to do that, you've got to step outside of the box!
