Washington Mortgage Planner-straight up mortgage advice and commentary

Hello all:  I was thinking today about how appreciative I am of being on ActiveRain. Initially, I was told about ActiveRain from Betsy Talbot of Delegate Now! Thank you Betsy!  I had never heard of ActiveRain and didn't really know what it entailed. It's funny how things all come together in your life sometimes.

I was telling Betsy about how I was looking for a place to communicate with my peers based on an article I had read.  Betsy suggested ActiveRain.  So I signed up and then Betsy suggested I start blogging. I like to write so I set about blogging and reading my cohort's blogs.

Again, my intention was to learn from my peers, many who have been in the business longer than I have. What I didn't realize about ActiveRain is the exposure it has to outsiders. Since I began last June, I have fielded inquiries from borrowers as far away as Connecticutt. I was even interviewed by a reporter for Inman News about my prediction last summer that Bank of America and Countrywide would eventually merge. Even today, I fielded a phone call from a credit repair specialist in Dallas who found me on Active Rain. In other words, it's all been good.  And I came in with low expectations.

So thank you again ActiveRain. It's a great forum and it's been fun to feed back and get feedback from my fellow Rainers! I plan on being a part of this forum for the foreseeable future.  Have a great day!

Paul
