Troy Jowers, New Orleans Realtor (Pogo Realty, LLC): Real Estate Broker/Owner in New Orleans, LA Troy Jowers, New Orleans Realtor (Pogo Realty, LLC) said almost 11 years ago,
"Successes come in all shapes and sizes and I've experienced many with Active Rain after only 1 year. Of course I've had clients referred to me from other AR agents around the country and have referred outgoing clietns to others, and that's where the money's at. However, I've learned so much from my peers through AR blogging. I've also found that AR boosted my Web presence immeasurably, and even got me in the local media twice! So yes, we've got the referral thing going, but there's so much more that comes with running around in the Rain!"

"Having started my Real Estate career a few year back in November, I received an invitation to go to a Raincamp in December and thought, "why not"? I met a great group of folks and really connected with the AR local community. I went back to work the next day and started working on my blog. I immediately got followers from the folks I met the day before supporting my blogging efforts. Then, about 3 weeks later, I got a call from an agent asking if I serviced a certain town in my area and she referred a buyer to me which I worked with and closed shortly thereafter. ActiverRainers rule!"

ActiveRain has been key in helping me to build a nationwide
referral and mastermind group. The exchange of leads and
ideas has resulted in a significant growth in my real estate business and respected credibility within the real estate community, with The State Newspaper ( http://www.thestate.com/ ) and other national publications.

Furthermore, I have received at least one cash deal
that can be directly traced to my ActiveRain Profile Page.

If you are serious about having an online presence for your real estate
related business, ActiveRain must be a required part of your marketing strategy."
