Many of the contributors on Bloodhound are also members of the Active Rain Real Estate Network. Active Rain is a social networking site comprised of some 20,000 members in the real estate and related industries.

The ActiveRain Real Estate Network is a free online community for real estate professionals designed to help them promote and grow their business.

We celebrated Active Rain’s first year in business in Southern California last week at Parker’s Lighthouse in Long Beach, CA . Close to 100 people came to join Jon Washburn and Matt Heaton celebrate. It was a great opportunity to network with budding and established real estate webloggers.

Jeff Turner does a nice summary for us of the event. Happy Birthday Active Rain.
