Intriguing Addition to AG
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!

Congratulations Rich!
Welcome Rich! We look forward to reading your posts,especially since we are kind of, ahem, in-ActiveRainers!
Welcome Sparky! I look forward to what you have to offer. You are always packed full of great ideas and information.
@ActiveRich, good to see you here!
What an excellent addition. Who doesn’t love Sparky?
Awesome to see you here! Look forward to reading more from you!
This 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.
Rich… I’ll look forward to your contributions here! Congrats to the AgentGenius team. You can’t have enough nice guys.
Hey Rich – congrats on another hat to wear!!
I look forward to reading your posts here on AG!
What a great choice in Rich aka Sparky! Congrats to AG for a wonderful choice and to Rich for the selection! Can’t wait to get more of your insights!
Rich who?
Welcome to the fold!
Hey Rich, congratulations!!!
great Post!
Barry – yer killin me! That was actually insanely funny.
someone 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.
I wanted Rich to feel at home.
Jay, it’s the antedote for the dogbite i had finally kicking in..you had one at one time dind’t ya?
And yes Jeremy..I’ll take my 10 points!
LOL@Barry … but you forgot the 4 lines of blatant advertising after your well-thought out comment.
Ok Barry, so folks are trying to figure out why I am laughing in the corner at our “serious” meeting… That’s too funny!
Just make sure you don’t put links anywhere other than right here on AG, otherwise we will have to throw scorn at you for trying to hijack the posts!
Mariana and matt, sorry it took me so long to respond. I was going through Meez.com and trying to find the right character to post on my blog! So many to choose from..can’t make up m mind.
Rich can ya give me a hand?
Ok enough..I’ll stopp before I get banned…just kidding.
Welcome aboard. I’m looking forward to your posts.
Boy, 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!)
Rock Chalk!
Rich, congratulations on becoming a genius, but of course we already knew that.
Way to go Rich! And way to go genius for getting him here! Win-Win for all involved!
I out of the office and am away from my computer for a day working on my real estate company , and the family grows – I may have to stop working just to keep track of who’s where
Rich,
After following you on twitter, I can’t wait to see what you can do with more then 140 characters!
Welcome
Welcome, nice to see that you are not afraid to leave active rain. Keep in mind you don’t get points here.
