"For years I have been on active rain not really joining in just reading some great blogs. Then last month an old friend found me on active rain and emailed me. They ended up buying a second home from me! I spend time and money advertising my listing and keeping them up to date BUT active rain brings in the leads. I googled me and was so pleased to see active rain on the front page. I'm hooked now and will be joining daily!"

"I have not been blogging much in the last year or so and now I'm back at it. Why? I LOST money. Last week I closed my second transaction with an Investor who found me on ActiveRain late last year,2009, and I hadn't been blogging very much but I still received the Google juice from AR. This is the 5Th transaction I can contribute to AR and best of all this client has referred 2 more people to me. If this came about from previous blogs I need to get my butt busy cause who knows how many deals I missed from not being here."

"Are you ready for this? Here's the power of the Active Rain network and how it works. I get to write posts, share examples of my work, and share tips and strategies with homeowners (and agents alike) regarding preparing their home for the market. Now here's the best part, homeowners, investors, banks, agents, magazines, newspapers are all given a wonderful opportunity to read these posts as they typically appear on page 1 of Google. Great so far, right? It gets better. Recently, I had an investor who had taken the time to interview several home stagers for his investment property. As a direct result of Active Rain and the Google juice it provides, he found my blog posts which is what led to the appointment. Now for the excellent news - 6 days after I staged this home, he received an offer. Three days later, he receives an even better offer (full asking price). So.... not only did Active Rain serve as the vehicle in which he found me, it had a direct result in helping him to sell his home in 9 days!"
