Since I started blogging at ActiveRain last November, I have been quite excited about the "possibilities" that ActiveRain represents for those of us involved with the many facets of real estate. I 
have watched with envy as other people are able to successfully get the people they invite to actually fill out their profiles and start blogging. There are people that have gotten 10, 20, 30 and even 180 people to sign up. How the heck do they do this? Do they pay them? Threaten them? Give them their first born? How do they do it?
It is my nature to share what excites me. I leave it to that "excitement" to generate what it takes for people, in turn, to motivate themselves. I realize that what is right for me is not the right fit for someone else.
Last night the 25th person I invited to ActiveRain signed up and filled out their profile-----too cool.
I hope you will all join with me in giving a warm welcome to Kelli Derum, a very good agent that I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with. 
So, Kelli, welcome to ActiveRain----have fun in the Rain----have fun blogging! If there is anything I can do to help----just ask. There are tons of groups to join and plenty of resources to find out how to fully use all that ActiveRain has to offer. Explore. Have fun.
