Yes there is a lot of gold buried here, it takes a little time but I am gradually collecting bits of it each day.

Hi Val.  I wonder how much Bob and Ben paid you to write this question?  

Agree with answers. 

Will take a look at your blog. 

Thank you.

Great answers. And interesting subject. 

Val - There is so much information, not only from Ben and Bob, but from active contributors as well. Sometimes there is so much it is a little overwhelming.

Too much to measure .. The friendships and support I have here is priceless.

Every day is a both a learning experience and entertainment source. I can learn, i can smile and get propped up when down or worn out by reading  the kind comments to my blog. Active Rain continues to be a great part of my Real Estate source

Information - plenty!

Never too old to learn something new.

Have received benefit in actual dollars as well as continuing to mine the available information to produce additional dollars!

 Good morning Val. Yes, there is a lot of gold here in active rain. I've mined quite a bit.

I pan for gold every week here.

Val Evans time to get that badge changed to Rainmaker.....(just kidding).

Truely, this is THE place on planet Earth for anyone related to Real Estate Profession!

Love it in 'Rain!

Over $10,000 in commissions, a few great relationships and two bookshelves full of good info so far. 

Long live Rock (and Active Rain)

i get a lot from the members here, and there are some that i dont "get". but heck, that is life. i like being here, my gold mined is slightly dependent on my time in my week and the need to sell stuff..

Val,
I have mined a ton of good information as well as dollars as well as a valued member of my team. I’m all in.

Agreed Val!  Lots of great information here not just form Bob and Ben, but from our fellow agents as well.

I don't keep track, I just keep mining

The 'Gold' I collect is from my peers and the empowerment.

If one looks or searches there is a ton of golden info here.

I agree with the others. I have learned a lot on active rain.

Val Evans You are right. You can find valuable RE information on AR.

Knowledge and relationships are certainly golden in the ActiveRain network.

I have learned a ton here!

My gold is in getting to know the wonderful inidviduals here, and sharing information bach and forth.  A

marketing is the most important part of the business to me, at this time..... and I learn and share tips and opinions on marketing methods....I've had great exchanges here.... I benefit, and others do also....

It clarifies some of my questions what does not work. Mostly things not yet tried. A lot helpful dedicated professionals who are very passionate about real estate are willing to guide you here.
