Please help us in welcoming Rich Jacobson (aka Sparky, aka ActiveRich) to Agent Genius! Rich has a unique background as a real estate professional, noted speaker, social guru, and for those who know him on Twitter and other networks, you already know he’s an all-around nice guy!
He has insider knowledge of the inner workings of Active Rain (where he serves as the AR Community Builder) as well as his local market in Washington State, as exhibited his own blog, Sound Bite Blog so this will be REALLY interesting!
Does this mean Agent Genius writers and commentators can’t be open and honest about their opinions regarding Active Rain? Absolutely not. Agent Genius is about growing and sharing, and discussion of AR is part of that which in conversation, I quickly learned that Rich embraces.
Welcome, Rich- we look forward to your insight!


















Welcome, nice to see that you are not afraid to leave active rain. Keep in mind you don't get points here.

LikeBoy, this is a rough crowd, and I haven't even posted my first AG article! Barry, as we like to say over on SoundBiteBlog.....BITE ME! ( I just deducted 10 points!) Chris, Barry needs an avatar. Can you send him that .jpeg of Spotted Dick? Jim - you mean no 'teaser' posts back to my AR blog? Crap, Lani didn't say anything about that! Mariana - What a great comment. Ya know, whenever I think of comments, it reminds me of this really great real estate agent out in Washington State.... Jeremy - it was given to me by Buckwheat (aka Mark Flanders), my better blogging half over at SoundBite. I don't know why he thought it up. I've never asked. And to the rest, it's truly My honor to be associated with such esteemed colleagues. I look forward to my involvement here, and becoming better acquainted with you all. Jay - It's called Agent Genius. How'd you get in? (cha-chang!)

Likesomeone get Barry 10 points for commenting! And I'll take five, for commenting on the comment. Can someone tell me where the term "Sparky" came from? Don't know that I'll be referring to Rich as Sparky, but I'm interested in the back story, anyhow.

LikeThis is a pleasant surprise. Funny how people started doubting "the nice guy" after he joins the AR crew - but once a nice guy, always a nice guy. Maybe Rich will share the secret.
