ActiveRain Is A Great Resource For Real Estate Professionals....And It's Free
If you don't know about ActiveRain...a free real estate resource...you should.
An Online Real Estate Network
Early in January, I followed the advice I gave about real estate blogging.
(Sometimes it takes a while for us to follow our own advice)
I started my own blog.
ActiveRain is quickly growing online network of people involved in the real estate business.
This network includes agents from all Canadian provinces and territories in addition to the US states.
The site is organized by themes such as Target Marketing or Internet Marketing and also by geographic areas.
By reading members' blogs in whatever groups you choose, you can learn what other real estate people are saying about emerging trends and issues of the day.
There is even a Google-type feature that makes it possible to search the site for keywords and phrases.

Channels for Professionals & Consumers
The site offers two channels for blogging: one for real estate people--the professional channel--and the other for consumers.
In choosing to post on the professional channel you can connecting with like-minded colleagues.
On the other hand, by choosing the consumer channel, you can connect with prospects and clients.
By linking your own site and your ActiveRain blog, you can keep in touch with your own clients and network contacts.
This link also allows you offer your clients access to a virtually library of consumer information.
What a great boost to your personal brand and profile.

More Features...More Value
There are two other features that increase the site's value.One feature is its Listing Router which is the site's move into the Property Listing aspect of online real estate search.
Under this this system, visitor traffic will be routed into your existing IDX sites using a Pay and Get Paid Click Campaign.
And second, except for special features such as Listing Router, Active.Rain is a free site.
