I can only speak for me..... I do NO business....but I'm responsible for making the phone ring and directing business to a team of agents.... I call what I do semi-retirement....
I spend alot of time here and on other sites....plus I create offline marketing pieces....
does any of that answer your question? I have 40 years of experience working as a competing managing broker associate....

I think if you spend much time in here, you're going to find out that most of the people who participate are really productive, with a wealth of experience to share. Plus, a lot of the questioners are talking about deals in progress, potential deals, recent deals and asking for insights or providing them.

Interesting that these types of questions come from anonymous askers
But yep - through February I'm 30% to my income goal for the year with business in the pipeline and business closing. When you run an efficient business there's plenty of times for things like AR.

Most of these people on AR are extremely busy, never sure how they find the time to be on Ar as much as they do. Shows their willingness to share and improve the community.

Ouch . . . no, I have never thought that . . . many on AR are on in between work and meetings and classes. They are multi-taskers. ARer's are on all different times - a.m., p.m., and whenever they set time aside.

A short time ago I witnessed an agent with nose buried in her devise. Multitasking and putting on the busy and important act.
Being who I am, when she came up for air I asked, "What did you actually get DONE the past 20 minutes?"
"Got appointment with a FSBO, Set up showing time with buyer who texted. Caught error on closing statement. Confirmed location and time of closing."
I learned that just because they don't do it my way they are not doing it the wrong way.
So while I am researching 'block chain' in real estate in Ukraine, I can take a peek at AR also.
And, in about 14 minutes, I too will be gone and taking care of business the old school way.
You should know that it all has a purpose.

I look at the AR Group as some of the most productive in the business. Highly professional, but they do take the time to share and that is what a true professional will do. We also know who we are and not afraid to be present.

I'd be more worried about people in Facebook referral groups playing themselves off as big agents and REALLY busy in a market that if you could see their stats, would find out almost nothing going on. The people here? The ones I know well do quite well in their markets, and part of doing well in their market is effective use of their time here. I dip in and out throughout the day and I don't let a day pass without a blog post up. It's both a personal challenge and a really cost effective way to lead gen. Bill

I can only speak for myself as some days I am here quite a bit and in fact I am the #1 blogger in ND here on the Rain. I do well in the Real Estate business world, I'm no super star but I make a good living for my family and myself.

I'm often stunned that I conduct any business at all... what with all the time I spend in front of the computer, and on my phone. But a major part of my business is conducted with my computer and on my phone. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I do find that usually, it's the people who whine about others.... that really aren't doing any business. ya'know?

Just like the walk of life, there are many professions and people working.
Then there are others looking for the freebies!
Also, there are retired folk and other professionals here that may not be selling as much.
Just out of curiosity, being from Missouri will you show us your numbers that you are so proud of?

No, not my concern how much business they do. If you read any of the entries from last month's contests (or any contests for that matter) you'll get a pretty good idea of the kind of people that frequent the site.
I spend time here because I want to share my experience and learn from others. I am constantly amazed at the generosity of the community. And, I love making connections with like-minded people.
