ActiveRain Success Stories

"As we have all heard before, "success is a journey, not a destination." ActiveRain has helped me in so many areas of my business I can't even beging to explain here. Between making new connections, learning more about what works and doesn't work in real estate practice, and all the marketing tid bits one picks up along the way, this site and community are second to none!"

"I am proud to say, after haveing spent 3 years on Active Rain, I have connected with several new clients and some very nice Realtors in other parts of the Country. Thank You Active Rain for helping us stay connected!"

"Blogging:

I am a writer...you can probably tell by my prolific writing! So blogging and emailing and writing a website, or listings or ads.....it is something I really enjoy. It is like my thoughts flow from my head and through my fingers, to magically appear on the page in front of me and go out to the world. The world is so free and open right now, anyone can imagine a business, create it on the internet, work really hard to get it going, and find clients and customers online! It is an amazing time to live in! We can all be entrepreneurs and even be seen and recognized globally! History will look back on this time as very unique.....we all are actually making history! It isn't just the big corporations or big real estate companies that can get their names out there because they have alot of money and power. The little guy, the family company, can also be just as visible and let people know who they are and what they do....and all it takes is work and creativity! Blogging is one of the ways to do it! So I appreciate Active Rain's part!"

"Through Active Rain my PRES graduates have been able to connect with other stagers and to keep apprised as to what is going on in the industry.

I always recommend researching to find exactly what you are looking for. Everyone's career needs are different."

"My success stories are all the families and their smiling faces when we achieved there goals. I'll never forget the elderly lady that was alone and had grandchildren back east. She had no idea how to sell her home, how much money she might get when the sale was done, or how to get started. She frightenly walked into our real estate office one day when I was sitting at the desk and quietly asked me if I could help her. She had a small condo with two bedrooms on two levels and a tiny patio. Well, we succeeded in achieving a good sale so with the equity she had she could realize her dream. I will never for this ladies face light up with joy like the face of an Angle."

"Someone came to us to buy their house based on our active rain."

"My sold as a direct result from being an active Rainer on ActiveRain.com. It was a joy to have new clients that found me via ActiveRain.com. I would like to say they were very informed buyers and interviewed me before choosing me as their Realtor. It has been a year since they moved into their home and now they become brand new parents to their first child in their very first home I sold them."

"In the short time that I have been a Rainmaker on Active Rain, I have gained valuable contacts within the Real Estate community. Additionally, courtesy of my mentoring with Ricky Khamis at Team Growth, I have been able to utilize Active Rain as an essential piece towards search engine optimization and now appear prominently atop many Google searches within my field."

"Successful counter-expertise, leaving no stone unturned./Une deuxième opinion bien fondée."

"I just received my first buyer as a result of blogging. I have been a member of Active Rain for several years, but I started blogging in June and took the plunge by becoming a Rainmaker at the first of the year. This buyer contacted me as a first time home buyer, she found me when she was looking for relocation information for Cedar Rapids. Since I had been blogging about FAQs for buyers, my name came up several times. She just accepted a job here in Iowa, and I will be showing her homes in the coming weeks for her to relocate! Thank you ActiveRain!"

"I have gone from being the last seated agent on Activerain in my area to the top 15 within only a few months."

"I started blogging on Activerain in the summer of 08 as I began working on my practicum for graduate school, believe it or not. Web 2.0 was a whole new world and I needed to become a part of that so I could better relate to customers in my nitch market, the first time buyer.

It's helped me improve my relations with local business people and I've since developed a small social media training and consulting practice to complement my interest in knowledge sharing and helping entrepreneurs and small business people. It's also helped me meet some wonderful people who've become friends as well as real estate clients.

My ultimate goal is to help people achieve great things, whether it be buying a home, adopting a child or learning how to communicate using interactive online social media. Sharing what I know for the betterment of others is a "feel good" thing for me and I do it willingly. I feel successful here at Activerain because of the things I've learned here and because of the voice I've found in myself."
