3. Katrinas Thoughts on AR
For those of you who ask "Why activerain?", I say:
You do this to improve yourself, your business and to benefit your
clients. The amount of information alone available on ActiveRain is
outstanding. You are doing a disservice to you AND your clients by
not participating, even on a small level. You do not have to be a
writer, a computer genius or creative. The world of real estate is
interesting, frustrating and even funnyat times, so your daily job
will bring you all you need to share; if you so choose. I do not
have to get into the added bonus of optimization and exposure on
the web.

4. What others have to say about AR
Russ Ravary - Metro Detroit homes - Michigan Real estate &
Mortgage info (Remerica Hometown One) said 1 day ago,"My latest
active rain success story is about a person who works for the
University of Michigan. He found me on active rain a few months
ago. I helped him find a house last month. He referred another
friend who bought a house thru me. We only looked at 3 homes when
he found one he loved. He found a tremendous bargain! Then he is
referring his mother to me. 3 people out of one blog. Active Rain
works over and over. What is nice that you could be sleeping, you
can be showing houses, you could be doing paperwork and Active Rain
is still out there promoting you."
Stephanie McCarty, real estate agent Snellville, Suwanee, Grayson,
Gwinnett (Loganville, Snellville, Dacula, Suwanee, Buford) said 1
day ago,"The BEST real estate resource online! What can ActiveRain
do for me you ask? Join and find out. For consumers and
professionals I think that this website is a gold mine of valuable
information. Experienced professionals willing to share their
experiences and training to benefit consumers and other
professionals alike. There is literally no other site like it - as
I have said before ActiveRain rocks! I continue to be very pleased
with my association and I try to contribute as often as possible
and thank all of the thousands of agents who have given me plenty
to think about with their insightful posts over the years."
Florida's Beautiful Homes- Realtors said 3 days ago,"ActiveRain has
been an integral part of Florida's Beautiful Homes over all
marketing strategy. It became increasingly important when over a
year ago I wrote a blog about bank foreclosures in the Tampa
Florida area. That same day I received a call from a buyer who had
just read my blog and recognized me as a local area expert with
whom he wanted to do business. I received several other inquiries
that week and still receive calls and e-mails from prospective
clients over a year later from that blog. That sounds like success
to me. Thanks ActiveRain for providing me with the knowledge and
the opportunity. Dave Tipton, Broker- Florida's Beautiful Homes-
Realtors"
