John & Irma Nelson, San Antonio Real Estate Agents - San Antonio Homes (San Antonio Real Estate Broker/Agent with Get It Sold Realty)
said almost 12 years ago,
"Well right now my AR success story is just beginning but I know it will have a happy ending. I am starting to blog on a regular basis and have found Active Rain to be a great tool to help both get the word out and enhance my online presence and meet other knowledgeable agents in the industry. I know that in the near future My AR Story will be filled with lots of drama, excitement, mystery and intrigue and maybe a little sci fi...but it will be story that will make the New York Best Sellers List for sure. Stay Tuned!!"

"In the short amount of time that I have been on Activerain I have met some great agents and there have been a couple days that the motivation I received through reading blogs pushed me through those last 25 contacts that I needed to make that day. I know it will only continue to build and the site and blogs will add more deals in the future. Thanks guys!"

I didnt even know they noticed but they had and slowly more and more will too! Happy Blogging Everyone!"

Sally Weatherley, Vancouver Home Staging, Home Stager Vancouver, B.C (EXIT STAGE RIGHT)
said almost 12 years ago,
"Received a Referral from LA- Thanks to Active Rain!
What would you do if you received a phone call from the Real Estate Staging Association's Stager of the Year, asking if you could help out one of her family members? Well, I'll tell you what I did. I nearly plum well fainted!
"Hello Sally, this is Annie Pinsker-Brown calling".
"Sally? Sally?...are you there?".
"Oh, hi, Annie", I replied weakly (remember, I'd just fainted)! Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating just a teensy weensy little bit, but you get the idea.
Turns out Annie had a family member living in British Columbia, who wanted to sell her downtown Vancouver property, and thought of me. I first "met" Annie online, here at Active Rain. I love the work she posts here, and can relate to her west coast style. Eventually, I met Annie in "3D" so to speak, at the RESA Conference this past January in Vegas, where Annie won the RESA Stager of the Year, and I won the Rookie Stager of the Year for Canada. It was a pleasure to meet Annie in person, and she really is as nice as she appears online!
Not only was I thrilled to be styling this hip, young condo in downtown Vancouver, but I also met the Realtor, Todd Allan, who is a fantastic guy. Turns out Todd had another townhouse he was just listing, and asked me to stage that property also. Wouldn't you know it, with his great sales expertise, and my staging abilities, that townhouse sold very quickly for over asking! To quote a line from the movie Casablanca, "I feel this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"!
Thank you Annie, thank you Todd, and thank you, Active Rain!"

said almost 12 years ago,
"Because of all the blogging which I do, I get a lot of contact e-mails and phone call from folks asking for help with a wide rang of questions.
Back in 2007 when I first joined the ActiveRain Real Estate Professionals Network, I had never read or wrote a blog post. I sure did not have any idea as to what in the world would I do here, I joined a few groups in the community. Started making some comments, which turn out the first few months, I was not writing to short of comments for them to count. Made some very good friends that started giving me some mighty fine tips, the ActiveRain community is just like a real life neighborhood you would live in, in a town or city. You find folks helping folks in this community also. After getting my blogging legs, I started posting blog posts, and started having new clients call to have Home Inspections. When I have someone call that's going to be moving to another State, ActiveRain is the very first place I come to find a top Real Estate Professional to help them. Be it the help of a Home Inspector, or a Real Estate Agent. In 2008 I started a second blog here in the ActiveRain community. That way I would have blog listed under both States, that I do business in. I sure do feel and know I've became even a better Home Inspector from being a member of this mighty fine and helpful community by the name of ActiveRain. I'd like to Thank the other members, and the folks at ActiveRain itself, for the help they give willingly."

Mike Schneider, ABR, CDPE, SFR (10 YRS with Active Rain !)
said almost 12 years ago,
"Hummm...does this mean a success story due to Active Rain..or is this a place to share a "success" story with Active Rain...Im going to think positive..for whatever it's here for i'm going to share what positive thinking did for me at one point in my extended real estate career. Of course, I wake up with a positive approach each morning..but one particular day i was stopped by a cop who was checking speed radar etc. Ugh, i saw the lights blinking behind me and sure enough i was selected to pull over......needless to say....my window went down and "did I do something wrong" officer"?....Of course you did, he answered....He claimed i was "encroaching" his territory....thats a familiar term to me, but i had no clue what he meant in police language...well, ok lets cut the chase or i'll be boring you all....He was talking about, he witnessed me "flashing" my headlights to on-coming traffic warning them there was 'radar" ahead..to slow down....Now we all have seen it or performed that 'encroachment" at least one time..or another.....I am not saying He was correct or not....but my "positive" explained to officer friendly that i had just purchased the car and I was playing with all the gadgets on the steering wheel and dashbord...windshield wipers...directional signals....and yes, "flashing high beam" on and off....So, it was just a coincidence what he witnessed for i had no idea i was 'encroaching" anything.....Guess what ! he was sympathetic and let me pass....I just had to extend my "positive" a little further......took a business card out of my pocket and handed it to him...stating that I am involved in a way with 'encroachment" of a different order..and If i can ever service your real estate needs...that would be a terrific testimonial...of course no would believe it....guess what ! he took my card...stated he was getting married and they were planning to look at properties....guess what! I did sell him and his fiance a lovely home that same year! Amen, for "positive thinking" !"

said almost 12 years ago,
"Active Rain is all about relationships, and for me that includes relationships with agents all over the country with whom I can exchange relocation leads. It's also about learning from colleagues, everything from best business practices to how to list a short sale. During my first full year of blogging on Active Rain, my income doubled, and that was in a "bad" year! So, thank you Active Rain! Soon I'll be able to afford that much-needed face lift!"

Joan Cox, Denver Real Estate - Selling One Home at a Time (House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate - 720-231-6373)
said almost 12 years ago,
"November 2010 - Went to Rain Camp and met a few of my subscribed blogger friends, and this week got a referral from Arkansas -- not with ONE listing to sell, but a possible TWO listings! With having met Charles Edwards in New Orleans at Rain Camp, he was comfortable with giving me a referral. So far, the sellers have not called, but then again, this time of year is not the BEST time to list a home, if you do not have to! ActiveRain DOES work!
ActiveRain is a great avenue to reach out to over 200,000+ bloggers and receive/refer many referrals! Nothing better than getting a referral, as they already trust you! THANK YOU for this opportunity!"

"Where else would you have experts at your finger tips? I am thrilled with my AR membership and how quickly I can get a response to a technical issue. I'm working on my internet presence and every valuable piece of information I've learned about SEO or Social Media has come from AR Members. It's an enormous - ENORMOUS - Pool of Wisdom - and I love swimming in it!"

"Basically, I have learned a lot from other members of ActiveRain.We are all in this big boat together and we can all learn from each other's experiences. I probably could write 10 books on real estate with my 35 years of diverse experience but I still am like a sponge and absorb all I can every day from others."
