ActiveRain Success Stories

"Great help in a tough market!

Diana Melerud and Vince De Lorenzo was recommended by a freind when we decided to sell our home on 82nd Street in Brooklyn. The market was in turmoil and our previous broker was not helpful, never kept us updated and ended up costing us money as our homes value declined. Diana Vince started with an open house, advised us as to how to price the house to sell and in a short time we had a buyer. At the time we thought the price should have been more but we decided to go with the sale and Thank God we did. I would recommend Vince to anyone looking to sell especially in this kind of market. His advice and experience paid off!!"

"A friend and coworker who is apart of active rain has said such wonderful things about that it has done for them"

"I have found a perfect agent for my clients who were moving to Florida. I had many calls from agents; the first agent who called back was the one that turned out to be the best. My clients loved how smoothly all went and how I was able to monitor both sides. It was a win-win-win. see above"

"Several weeks ago I was contacted by Brian Anderson, an FHA and VA loan expert, who found me on AR. He was looking for a home stager to stage his mother-in-law's home in Gwinnett County, and I got the call. This is the first job I've picked up through AR. Thank you, Brian! Here are his comments since the staging: Patsy did PHENOMENAL work on my mother-in-law's home in Snellville. She transformed the house into what could have passed fora builder/model home showcase. Very, very impressed!"

"Through ActiveRain I have been able to expand my networking avenues. I have used ActiveRain as an outlet to expand my knowledge base and to interact with other industry professionals both in the real estate industry and mortgage industry. This forum has also allowed my to make contact with potenital longterm referrals."

"Since becoming a member of the ActiveRain community a few years ago, our lab has seen a steady increase in business. But our real success is that we have been able to help hundreds of home owners have pure, safe water for themselves and their families. Our policy has always been, if you have questions about water quality, give us a call, even if you're not a client we will do our best to help you have safe, pure water."

"Since we have started blogging on Active Rain, we have already achieved many levels of success. Some recent achievements were becoming owner of RE/MAX Affiliates in 2009, speaking on a Philadelphia Expert Real Estate Panel in 2009 as well as receiving top recognition awards for production in 2008. None of these milestones would have been achieved if our career was not propelled by our blogging success from Active Rain."

"I met one of my closest industry colleagues through Active Rain. Lisa Glowacki is a top notch realtor in RI & MA and has been instrumental in guiding me through this turbulent housing industry. We have yet to work on a deal together but it's bound to happen. Soon I would guess. We've formed a mutually beneficial partnership based on our combined knowledge, experience, ideas & vision. Of course '10 is far from a record year; however, we made good decisioins and networked to the outer depths our our networks. I feel good about the future and Lisa shares that outlook. I wish her continued success and thank you."

"My first day at activerain.

I finished my profile, created a blog, commented on 10 posts, joined 3 groups and think I have found a wonderful social community which will help me grow in my business. I have connected with professionals all over the country and subscribed to blogs which are interesting as well as humorous.

I see how successful rainmakers work and want to emulate them in my behavior.]

My 2nd day at activerain.

I spent over 2 hours completing a new blog.. going to fast I clicked to send it to all my groups. I should not have done that as one was a travel group. I clicked on the delete button thinking it would delete from the travel group and it deleted the entire blog.. sigh... so I did a search on how to restore a deleted blog... yes, someone else had done it and found I could click my back button but no luck as I have explorer.. the comments indicated if you have foxfire you can always go back in your browser, so that is on the list of things to do... in the mean time Jeremy was on the discussion and she he could work magic and find it! I contacted Jeremy and.... Jeremy you are my hero. I logged back on and there it was. Thank you activerain!"

"Matt Grohe of RE/MAX Des Moines was a perfect match to assist my best friend's daughter in buying a house in Waukee, Iowa!
Thanks to his local expertise, he found them a great house and negotiated a great deal for them as well!
Having Active Rain as a resource to find great agents to refer your clients is an awesome tool!"

"My active rain success story is more about self fulfillment than anything. True, in real estate, you are somewhat of an educational consultant to the many buyers and sellers you work with. However, with Active Rain, it has been a pleasure to network with like minded professionals, all in the same "boat" as you, to create and solve problems, to share ideas with what works and what does not work, and to be there as moral support for your fellow agent."

"AR gives me another chance to network with other real estate professionals. Its a great source for sharing tips and commuity information that both buyers and realtors will find useful."

"Great tool for those who use it well. AR lets me share information and communicate with realtors and potential buyers easily and quickly."
