Lorraine and Loretta Kratz – Invitees Who Know the Value of ActiveRain

I’ve invited a number of people to join ActiveRain over the years, often as a result of them taking a class I was teaching, or at talks I have given at REBarCamps and real estate expos. Some have joined, but many have not. Too bad they haven’t realized the value. Or perhaps they went out and joined on their own. I should check.

It’s always been exciting to share the enthusiasm I have for blogging, and in particular for the AR community, and as it was for me years ago, AR remains wonderful training grounds for those just stepping into the blogging world.

As part of the 2012 BIG Jumpstart Blog Challenge, I wanted to briefly share my story about Lorraine and Loretta Kratz.

I taught a blogging class back in the summer of 2007 to an aspiring group of bloggers at a local real estate board in San Diego County. As part of my closing, I offered to send out invitations to join AR for those who were interested. Lorraine and Loretta Kratz, who are in the North County area like me, accepted my AR invitation and have continued to write regularly, amassing almost 400,000 points so far.

This sister team combines traditional real estate, Crescent Moon Realty in Vista, with the auction side of the real estate business, Land N Sea Auctions. Lorraine and Loretta have regularly contributed their expertise on the local real estate market, area happenings, communities, and much more.

Lorraine and Loretta clearly realized the value of blogging to their business over 4 years ago and no doubt continue to reap its benefits today. Stop by to say hi and comment on one of their posts.
