It was another well attended GBBR Rookie Society gathering today in Baltimore.

Another well attended Rookie gathering today at  GBBR  put together by our energetic and very talented Kim Jones!

                                                            


The presenter was Andy Tibbals, Sales Account Executive of RBI Realestate Business Intelligence www.rbintel.com  which is a subsidiary of MRIS. Andy showed how to do market statistics and  how to get  market reports which can all be found on our MRIS sites. I am looking forward to using these free reports. Andy told us there are free webinars on Mondays and Thursdays 1:30-2:30. Will have to check them out.

                                                              

There were three sponsors each with gifts. Ed Byrnes,VP of Real Estate Title & Escrow, who I recently had a closing with had a drawing for a Panera Gift Certificate. Joy Waida, a stager and ActiveRain member gave $100 worth of  staging time and Prospect Lending gave away a Starbucks Gift Certificate. It has been said that agents love food and money...yes the winners seemed to be quite pleased.

                                       

Kim announced the speaker for next month

Rookie Society Invites Margaret Rome Thursday April 21st..Blogging ActiveRain Why & How

The group seemed interested so I collected cards from those wanting to know about ActiveRain, asking them to write AR on the back of their business cards.  I offered to help anyone, who signed up before our next meeting, get started  on ActiveRain and have just sent out invites to 10 people. How many do you think will sign up? If they all sign up, I will be one busy broker...but it will be my pleasure.

I have often said it is easier for me to get a listing than a new ActiveRain member and I have invited hundreds of people over the last few years.

Our blogging class next month should be very interesting and I hope we have some brand new AR members attend. Are you planning on joining us?
