Active Rain Network - the friendships, the experience, the knowledge. After joining the Active Rain community a year ago, I discovered so much that I really did not know. I logged in countless hours reading posts after posts. I learned so much about SEO, Internet marketing, Real Estate tips and advice and learned how to take control of my market area.
One of my first Active Rain Associatea - JO SOSS of Bremerton, WA (Puget Sound Kitsap). I joined Military Spouse Referral Network to meet other Miltary Spouses selling Real Estate. Jo was very friendly and willing to share the ins and outs of Active Rain. I subscribed to her blog and enjoyed reading her Localism posts about Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard and the surrounding Kitsap County area. In addition to all of her valuable information for Navy Military Service Members relocating to the PSNS / Bangor / Keyport areas, Jo Soss also writes for the home buyers and home sellers in the Naval Shipyard community of Bremerton and Port Orchard. Jo Soss has positioned herself as the Military Spouse of Kitsap Bremerton Real Estate Expert.
During my visit home to Port Orchard, WA this past holiday season, I had the pleasure of meeting with Jo. Jo has been assisting my sister with buying a home in the South Kitsap area. Jo has gone above and beyond the typical expectations of a Real Estate Agent. Our cold Active Rain meet-up took place in a new community in Manchester. Washington had a huge snow storm during the months of December and January. As you can see from the pictures below, the glistening snow made for a sparkling picture moment for our new friendship.

A few more highlights about Jo, that I have received from my sister, who has chosen Jo to represent her as a Buyers Agent. Jo's friendly spirit makes it easy for my sister to feel connected and comfortable with Jo's Real Estate advice and recommendations. The level of commitment Jo provides to her buyers and sellers will never be compromised, she is always ready to go preview homes.
Thank you Jo for all your help on Active Rain and representing my sister in her upcoming home purchase in the South Kitsap area. Maybe one day we will be able to work side by side.
