For over a decade we've served the Real Estate industry with the best quality Magazine and E-letter possible.

As one of the first to provide a National E-letter for the Industry (before the NAR even) as well as one of the first in any Industry to provide a National print medium after starting out solely on-line, we've been at the forefront in many regards.

Although dead last in the social networking arena, we're still quick and eager to learn.

What we've learned in the past short few months is that the Industry does NOT need another massive free-for-all network based on the goals of mass content and the inactive Members that result.

Rather, we feel we can best continue to serve the Industry, and our Members, by instilling the same quest for quality here as we have through channels in the past.

With a focus on quality content and quality Membership we're confident a need can be filled by providing a more exclusive and streamlined experience. Not only for the few thousand Members here, but also for the tens of thousands of our readers who choose not to become Members.

Consider that for the month of January - in it's first real month of existence, BrokerAgentSocial.com had over 81,703 visitors. These were not web-bots or other Internet crawlers, but real, live people.

Does it really matter how many are Members here and how much content can be created? From our vantage point, what matters most is having a valuable resource for Members and Guests alike.

As a Member, would you rather stand out for your solid contributions, or just get noticed briefly because you posted something? Would you rather attract peers with your intelligent insights, or annoy them by posting things they could care less about?

Our hope by moving forward with this community in a more thoughtful, meaningful, and streamlined manner is to facilitate a means whereby those wanting to give and get more out of their profession can - Without being drug down or run off by those only looking for a flash in the pan and a way to exploit.

To begin meeting these objectives, we've been actively studiying all areas of BrokerAgentSocial.com in order to provide new, and perhaps stronger policies to help foster the best possible participation and membership qualities.

Sometimes it’s important to take a step back before you can move forward. For those that join in this effort, we'll continue doing the best we possibly can for you on our end

Looking forward to any comments (good, bad, or ugly) along with a request for Members to feel free to use the "abuse" link liberally. We will be on the other end.
