Active Rain Bow

This post is a result of two posts by my friend Richard Weisser down in Georgia. The first post was "How do you expect to get drenched in the rain if you don't even want to get your feet wet?" dated 5/21/09 in which he offers 6 suggestions to those of us here in Active Rain. In addition he also offers his personal guarantee "So, for those of you that want to succeed at blogging, I offer you this challenge. Before you throw in the towel, write at least one hundred quality posts before you make your value assessment. It takes that long to develop the correct skills and disciplines and also to create a body of content large enough to have a significant SEO impact on your business. Now that is some guarantee wouldn't you say? Richard then follows that post with another post titled "Achieving national celebrity status as a result of ActiveRain blogging becomes a reality! (of sorts)" where he talks about a recent interview with Realtor Magazine on line where he was interviewed about blogging for business. So, IMHO, Richard is not only a celeb but one that knows where of he speaks.

With the numerous posts talking to newbie's here in Active Rain on how to be a success in their blogging venture to improve their visibility to the public I am setting out on a quest. I am not going to suggest things to newbie's or those that are less active on AR; I am on a search for some of these folks for introduction to our AR family. Here is my 3 step plan:

  1. Go on a state by state search and post between 5 and 7 people each Saturday
  2. Then you the MEMBERSHIP will be able to see and encourage them by responding to their most recent post
  3. A NEW qualification, the post must be done since January of this year.

The end result will be, hopefully, an increase in activity with more members becoming visible. Now there is a really BIG problem with this plan. I will not be able, my rule, to suggest those that have not done a post and posted their picture to their profile. You see there won't be any secret agents, lenders, stagers, inspectors, etc. shown. Sorry, if you want to be considered I need to see who you are, sorta like your picture on your business card.

Today I am looking at the state of South Carolina, where Active Rain has a total of 3298 AR members as of this morning. I would say that Jim & Maria Hart Jim & Maria Hart #1 and Mirela Monte Mirela Monte #2 could have some competition coming up behind them. So, say hello to:

All information is per regional multiple listing service (mls) on 11/16/09 and is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Sellers, homes are still being sold as you can see from the pending homes.  If homes are priced right they will sell.  So if you are thinking about listing your home give me a call and let’s talk about the marketing of your home.

The Tax Credit has been extended and expanded, check out the new benefits:

1.      The new tax credits will be available from December 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010.

2.     The tax credit will sunset on April 30, 2010, but as long as you have a binding contract by that date, you will still qualify to complete the transaction within 60 days.

3.      Home sellers turned buyers are eligible, as long as the home they’re leaving has been used as their principal residence for 5 years or more.

4.      Income limits for both first-time home buyers and home sellers turned buyers would be $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for married couples.

5.      For purchases made in 2010, taxpayers can claim the tax credit on their 2009 income tax return.

6.     Home buyers would not have to repay the credit, provided the home remains their principal residence for 36 months after the purchase date.

If you are looking to buy your first home or “right size” now is a good time to buy.  As you can see we have a variety of homes in the City of St Peters MO for you to choose from and in various price ranges. You may be considering a move to St Charles County MO too, so Give Don Rogers a call today at 315-954-6775 and let’s begin moving toward your new home.

Helping you achieve your next level of the American Dream.  Ready?
