Dustin ~ thanks for the opportunity.  I wish I could have mentioned all the great folks here on AR that inspire me daily...that list would be way too long.  As you can see this place gets bigger and better everyday.

Thanks again.

Kristal... I commented on your other blog, but thought I'd comment here as well. Well done. Dustin, thanks for a great look inside her head!
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 2 years ago

This is interesting... a featured post with three sentences from a blogger who's asking that comments be left elsewhere!  Only Dustin could pull this one off!

BTW, I left a comment about the interview on RCG before leaving this one!

LOL!

I had to leave a comment on Rain City guide too. :)  I hope Kristal does not read this because it will just all go to her head but she does have a wonderful blog.  Her photographs are spectacular and her writing is very high quality.  She raises the bar for all of us!

Are we allowed to leave a comment here once we've left one there?  Bossy...  Good interview Dustin. Kristal is top banana on Active Rain for good reasons.

You could not have picked a better person to interview.

KK is an innovator!

Dustin: great interview of Kristal, I really enjoy her post. She is funny and witty yet providing great contents that both Newbies and seasoned agents can benefit from.

Dustin, thanks for the pointer to your great interview.  Being very new around here, I still don't know who the "great ones" are that I should be learning from (although I've a fairly good idea).  Your interview makes me feel better that I've chosen to stay put here @ AR.  I don't have a lot of time to see what else is out there, so knowing that folks like Kristal, who are old hats at blogging love AR gave me the thumbs up I needed.

I just posted on Rain City Guide but left you a 5 here.  Please share it with Kristal!
Posted by Linda Davis (RE/MAX Realty Group) over 2 years ago

Dustin, I am back to comment because it is a new day and I can get points again. 

That was a joke.

Your interview with Kristal was super.   She really *IS* influential on AR and she has helped so many people figure out how to do this better.  Not to mention that her posts are darned good.

WHAT, no points!

What sort of blog are you running???  ;-)

Good job on Kristal.

Posted by Jim Lee, Knoxville Tennessee Realtor® (Realty Executives Associates) over 2 years ago

Dustin,

That was really an informative interview.  Congratulations KK!  I agree with Magie.  It is really good to find out the "Who's Who" of AR.

Kristal and Dustin, marvelous interview.  Hats off to both of you!
Posted by Ed Rybczynski (Jos. A. Bank Clothiers) over 2 years ago
Oh, I forgot to mention... Kristal wrote a post back in September and asked us the question "Are you an Ambassador for your area?" - this is something that Kristal does herself, it shows through in her blog, and she sets an awesome example of for the rest of us to follow.
Posted by South Florida Real Estate • Leanne Paynter (HomesCo.com) over 2 years ago

Good interview! I now know why she has a cropped picture as her photo. I kind of figured it was to stand out!

Posted by Colorado Springs Real Estate over 2 years ago

Kristal...congrats...

Leanne... is that a record here on AR?  That was the ticket. I need to write less....   ;o)

 Dustin..thanks for sharing..... going to check it out now.   And do I get points for this comment?  lol

OK - I will head over to the "other" blog and post a comment there - and I'm confident it won't be "point - less" :-)

And as Dustin's official Active Rain sponsor, I just sit back and enjoy!!  :-)
Posted by Cheryl Johnson, Bob Taylor Properties, Inc., Los Angeles, CA over 2 years ago
Congratualations to both you and Kristal. We all know AR is a benefit to anyone who reads it. And about the points = I don't need no silly points!

That was a great post, and actually my first official visit to your 'real' blog.  Thanks!

Wow, I knew Kristal was good, but no wonder!  She really did have a blogging bootcamp!  I wonder if she could lead us on our own blogging bootcamp!  I'm ready to take off (minus the Africa part, I really don't want to be eaten).
Posted by Chris Tesch College Station, Texas Real Estate (RE/MAX Bryan College Station) over 2 years ago
Cool, will have to give it a listen...

nice interview- and what a way to invite us to RCG. She deserves the accolades- she brings alot  to the table and AR loves her.
Posted by Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) over 2 years ago
So do you get points for commenting on the Rainc Guide :)  Very nice interview. Are you planning on doing more members here? -Charles
Posted by Jacqulyn Richey - Las Vegas Real Estate (Prominent Realty Group) over 2 years ago

No points on RCG... We do it for the love of the game!  :)  

So now you have me confused... Are you Charles or Jacqulyn? 

Posted by Dustin Luther (4Realz.net) over 2 years ago
Dustin--love your blog.  To be quite honest, I had not heard of it before...thanx for all the great info.

Dustin, It had to be easy to write such a great post. You picked such a perfect subject. Kristal has been an inspiration to all of the Active Rainers. Thank you for putting the spotlight on such a deserving person.

Great choice, Dustin. Kristal has long been a positive influence on ActiveRain -- teaching, encouraging, leading by example.

Great job Dustin! She is the perfect person to interview.  Thanks for sharing her with us
Posted by Blanca Cholewczynski, XCO (U) over 2 years ago

38 comments here... only 35 comments on RCG... we need some more comments over there.  Dustin is giving double points on his blog for comment on the Kristal interview for  limited time only, get over there before the offer expires... It could expire at any time..  Take a thesaurus with you though.. you will need a new word for great, terrific, fantastic to describe the interview.  Words to describe Kristal can also be found in the same thesaurus....

ooooops 39 comments here now...

LOL!   Maureen, you're so very wonderful! 
Posted by Dustin Luther (4Realz.net) over 2 years ago

Dustin ~ I've been cowboy papparrazi-ing and haven't had time to respond to these comments.  It's bad form for me to "respond" on YOUR blog post, but what the Heck they are talking about ME!  So I will break form and bud in.  I just can't do it right now.  :)

Thanks and I'll be back.
