ActiveRain is a Seattle, WA based technology/media company hybrid that operates the largest and most active social network in the real estate space.
Their roots go back almost 6 years but unlike many new “real estate technology” companies they are not trying to change the business model, but rather provide the technology to augment an existing one. Over the years they have worked very closely with agents and companies both large and small, providing the technology to support their core business, selling homes. Their goal is to “Empower the real estate professional” and as an extension empower the consumer. They don’t believe in placing additional barriers between the consumer and the agent.
In June 2006, they launched the ActiveRain Real Estate Network, a free social network and marketing platform for real estate professionals. This network helps agents to create business relationships both within the industry and with the consumer.
