Frisco Texas Mortgages, Real Estate, Events, and more

In May 2008, I met a Realtor in Little Elm RE/MAX by the name of Linnea Lavell.  She told me about quite a few Real Estate Networking Sites, one of which was ActiveRain.  I signed up for a few days and just played around.  Towards the end of June 2008, I wrote my first blog post.  5 minutes after posting, I received my first official comment and then 15 minutes later, I received another.  I knew from that point on that I was addicted to the feedback and attention - and that was before I found out about the GOOGLE JUICE and was listed #2.

Look at me now almost one year later:

As of today, I am over 103K.  I know I am a little slow on publishing my 100K points but at  least I am doing it.  :-)

I am listed as #2 in Frisco Texas and #3 in Collin County.  Considering we have 982 members in Collin County, being #3 is not too shabby.

Within the state of Texas, I am ranked #43.  In May I reached 41, but I've slacked on writing posts/commenting for a few days.

Of my 172 posts written, 2 were featured posts.  I remember the first time I was featured.  It was a post about my daughter and how she was always taking my computer out of the office - Stay Out Of My Office!  My second feature was a few months later (February) and was about Fear and Greed.

Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of meeting MANY MANY great Real Estate Agents, Stagers, and Mortgage Professionals. Perhaps you have met some of them as well - Jason Crouch, Jeff Belonger, Karen Otto, Greg Nino, Leander McClain, Gary Woltal, Sherry Scales, Erik Hitzelberger, Marchel Peterson, Donna Harris, JL Boney, Elizabeth Ramsey, Shirley Parks... the list could go on and on. Of anyone who has commented or read my post, my biggest supporter on ActiveRain has to be Loreena Yeo of 3:16 Team Realty.  I met Loreena here in the Rain and have been working with her for quite a few months now.  We meet and talk about marketing strategies, our current pipeline's, market conditions, etc. It has been a blessing to work so closely with a Realtor that has such focus and vision.

I've learned, I've shared, and I've grown because of ActiveRain.  So, whether you comment on my blog or just stop by to read it... THANK YOU!  Because of you, I've continued to come back.  And because I come back, I've had the pleasure of more exposure on the internet. More exposure equals more business.

If you are reading this post and you have not yet joined ActiveRain, I highly suggest that you do. There is not another site out there that provides this type of expereince, knowledge, and exposure to Real Estate Professionals.  When I first joined, I did not find my blog on the interest.  It took a few months before I finally started to see results.  The key is to stick with it and write about your area.  It WILL show up on the interest and you will turn business because of it.

Thank you again and we will see you in the rain soon! (now if I can just get my 100K badge....)
