"Active rain is a part of my networking stragegy. There are more focused professionals on Active rain than any other site I have found to date. My profile I built a few years ago was forcibly removed by the Fortune 500 company I was a manager for. They didn't like that such a powerful site as Active Rain was driving business directly to me and my team vs. to their call centers and centralized processing teams. I was punished for being a "competitor" and I was a competitor because of Active Rain. Thanks!"

"If someone would have told me that I would be bloggging as a part of my business I would have looked at them and surely questioned them. Today, I cannot see how my business could survive without such and amazing tool. Social Networking and blogging are a very intregal part of my business, and helps to bring out better business exposure and awareness in my Real Estate career.
Today I met with Ryan Frost with Compass Lending Solutions. He found me on Active Rain and place a call. We met in my office with another agent. I found Ryan to be very knowledgable and helpful. I am looking forward to working with him. Thanks Active Rain"

"My success story is not one that involves a sale or a listing. I got my liscense at the end of last year and while I was waiting for my liscense to come in and studing for my state boards I stumbled on Active Rain. I have learned so much from my fellow Realtors and the other professionals on Active Rain. I started at the same time as other "newbies" in my office and because of all the knowledge I have gained from checking AR out everyday, I feel like I am worlds ahead of the others. And, I got my first listing only two weeks after getting liscensed!!!! Thanks Active Rain!!!"

"My initial Active Rain success story is finding my voice through blogging. I have always had a passion for writing (I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History). I had tried blogging before I joined AR. However, I felt like my message was not reaching anyone. When I made the decision to join Active Rain, I never expected to get such overwhelming responses and feedback - especially so soon! I quickly realized the power of this community, and why so many members rave over it. I receive input every day from the top real estate professionals across the country. Active Rain is a real estate "oracle" in my opinion. No where else can an individual - real estate professional or not - find so much relevant, up-to-date information affecting the real estate world. I feel blessed on find my voice in the 'Rain and I look forward to many more future successes!"

"ActiveRain, is by far, the best Real Estate Community on the web. I just dropped an advertizer who I had worked with for three years because they wanted to raise my rates 48%. The interesting thing is that ActiveRain provides more direct links to my website than this advertizer had...and, of course, the exposure is free!!!
I am a "RainMaker" and always will be."

"I received an inquiry from an Active Rain client in November of 2008. They were not able to qualify to purchase at that time. Since then, we have been actively working on repairing their credit and helping to make sure they would someday qualify. As you know, getting a pre-approval from a lender keeps getting harder and harder. But guess what? They just qualified! They just had to wait for their tax return money to get what they needed for their down payment. We never give up!!!....NEVER! Paradise exists, we discover it with every client."

"Well, as you can see from the kudos above, we've grown our business considerably on Active Rain. We don't specifically seek the business of Realtors, but have found that we're uniquely qualified to help them. We've worked with Realtors for years, in many areas in the country, and the owner of Hardison & Associates is a Licensee herself, so we're familiar will the majority of regulations, requirements, and recommendations as they relate to the services we provide. This seems to result in far shorter production times as most of our clients don't need to tell us what needs to be present in their materials. We're very good at what we do, and Active Rain has turned out to be a good place to stretch our legs, as it were."

"I've been using Active Rain since July 2009 so you might say I'm fairly new at this. I have met some of the nicest and most helpful professionals on Active Rain. I have received business referrals from my postings on Active Rain and most of all my sister in Indiana found me on Active Rain and has joined Active Rain herself. Thank you Active Rain."
