Roger - I don't think I ever really had any expectations. I can't even remember how I heard of Active Rain, but I know I thought I could learn a lot about blogging and real estate just by reading other posts. It has been more than I ever expected.

I went in AR with my eye wide open, not knowing what to expect. I was just told, i needed to join. And I did!

I started with AR to get referrals and to make it easy for me to send out referrals. But oh boy...when I first joined I didn't know what this community was all about. It's not a matter of joining to make your expectations happen. It's a matter of being involved. It took me a while to get involved. When I did things started happening for me. I"m sending out referrals and it's great. I've also received a few of them. My area is extremely rural, so I don't expect a lot of referrals coming my way.

When I started I had no idea what it was about so I had no expectations. I thought by just belonging I would be found. I learned differently several months later and began to take it seriously.

When I retired from teaching over thirty years I missed the give and take in the classroom with students and staff as I worked my new career in real estate from my home office.
Active Rain was my FACEBOOK.

I had no expectations...I have learned from reading other's comments. I've also learned that if someone criticizes you not to react negatively to that criticism.

My expectations are to learn. I'm interning now so learning is what I'm focused on. And it's paying off. I read read read blogs and questions all the time. And when something hits me I print it out and keep it in a binder for future reference. I love that there is a large pool of awesome professionals here who are willing to be honest, gritty, and reach out!! I've already connected with several people who I can see being great role models for me. I'm learning so much about the "stuff" no one tells you. I'm getting into the blogging boot-camp videos so that I can get my blogging off the ground, I've done a few but looking around at other members sites, tells me I need to get on a higher level in that area. Great question Roger, what were your expectations???

Funny when I saw this post I started to giggle... I ride a scooter to all appointments, getting "rained" on is just part of the business LOL... every time I show up wet on a listing appointment I say " rain helps me grow taller and the hair grow ( see my photo LOL ) ... same thing with active rain, Learning makes my job as a listing agent better, my mind grows and I can service my clients better

When I arrived it was to learn. I was thrown to the wolves in my former brokerage and I needed to see how the rest of the world built their business and handled the trickier side of the job.
Making friends and being entertained was one of the first fringe benefits.
Getting my blog posts and listings out to the bigger world and gaining great SEO was a bonus at the time.
Great question Roger!

I didn't really know what to expect. I was turned onto AR by a colleague that uses the platform for SEO, he does well with it. I've found that by reading other blogs I've learned things from loan officers that have more/different experience than me and a little bit about what makes agents tick. It helps me in my relationships with agents I work with

Alot of the properties that I have listed are above the price point of the average local and would mostly appeal to a foreign clientele so in looking at options online to market these listings, I came across this site. It had great appeal to me because of the networking capability because I enjoy online social networking. I joined to be able to expose these properties, maybe get a referral, share about my island, and to build relationships that can allow me to learn and also to share my knowledge.
