Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

Being a Realtor most people think I am automatically against For Sale By Owner. Personally I think my profession has nothing to do with it. Think of this scenario; Would you want your parents selling their home as a For Sale By Owner? In todays world I think this is one thing that should definitely be left to the professionals. It is your most valuable tangible asset as are your Parents. Although your Parents aren't a thing so to speak they could be put right up there with the most important things in your life depending on who you are. 
The other day I got a flat as I was driving my durango to an appointment. Unfortunately for me they were brand new tires. Oh the horror! Luckily as this happened I was just in front of the Post Office so I was able to pull into that parking lot. I shudder to think what would have happened were I on a highway instead of a side road. Anyway as I was sitting there waiting for my brother-in-law to come help me out since my appointment was with him I was surprised by what I noticed. 
also quite cold so I kept my gloves on and my coat zipped all the way as I sat there. People came and went every few seconds as I sat there and I saw probably at least 50 or so people look at my wheel, look at me, look back at my wheel and then proceed into the Post Office. Then they came out, got in their vehicle and went on their way. Now initially I didn't think anything of it because I knew I had help coming. 
me sitting there and not one person had offered help of any kind and this person saw me from out on the road and took his time to pull in and offer help. I think he heard me yell wait but I will never know because he kept going. So to the teen (?) that was driving that truck thank you for being so kind. And to his mother you raised an amazing guy; you should be very proud!
