"I am relatively new to the business. I was told that I had to have a "web presence" to be successful. When I "googled" myself...nothing. I made my profile and posted a couple blogs. Now when I google my name, I actually show up. Very exciting!"

"My ActiveRain success came at the after a surprise trip to the hospital Labor Day weekend 2009. I had been working with my first ActiveRain referral a buyer moving up to the Antelope Valley. Mid way through the transaction I got sick, real sick my wife jumped in and gave me the support I need as well and my clients. After getting better and not able to get around like before I had to find a better way of attracting clients. I hit the blogosphere like a mad-man read all I could on SEO and how to get our message out to people who needed our services. ActiveRain was my main focus giving me new areas to look for ways of doing business. Now here it is February 2010 and Janet and I are closing our seventh ActiveRain referral in 3 months! With more to come I'm sure!

Thank you ActiveRain Family and we are ready for your referral."

The buyer and seller leads are just starting to come in. I know that 2010 is going to be a great year! Thank you ActiveRain!"

Many buyers and sellers have either found me through ActiveRain or have used the information on here to check me out. I love ActiveRain!"

"Special thanks to Steven Graham -- Active Rain Blog Trainer in San Francisco. I've been putting this "blogging" idea on the back burner for 2 years and decided I needed to get with the program, expand my lead sources and my income stream. I took his 1 hour class almost 2 weeks ago, and last week posted my first blog. I'm ecstatic to report that my post had the #4 and 5 spots on google. I just posted my 3rd blog, and again took the #4 and 5 spots.
I spent 1 week trying to set-up my blog and write it, and hallelujah it only took me an hour for my 3rd blog. Now I'm looking forward to becoming "A Google Celebrity". The key is to continue blogging to become a top recognized and trusted professional. Thanks Steve, you are the bomb! http://activerain.com/stevenmonet"

"Without question, Active Rain has provided my business with some significant benefits. For example, I have been able to connect and network with professionals in the business that understand and pursue the growth and development of their own business and the industry. I also have seen a marked improvement in search engine placement as it pertains to myself and my services.

I will also say, that on my recommendation to join AcitveRain, that many of my agent-clients have had success with this tool many times over!"

"Every time I blog on Active Rain I get twice as many phone calls the next week or two!!!!"

"I had a client who found me on ActiveRain. She was convinced that she was in a short sale situation because of all the media hype about the economy and the housing market. After a review of her situation we were able to sell her home at a price that kept her out of the short sale range. She was extremely pleased with the results as was I."

"I wanted to refer business to a realtor. Though she came highly recommended, I felt I needed to do more research for my client. The fact that this realtor was involved with Activerain and had a high amount of points was the deciding factor in giving her the business."

"Social Media? SO much time, effort and MONEY is spent on social media and related online social networking sites these days and im glad to be a part of it. Enjoy this site "Great Leads"."
