games people play: Customs, Origins, Ethnicities and an Open Mind - 11/24/09 10:46 AM
In a large forum such as ActiveRain, we will run across many views and opinions from each member. Being mindful of another's customs are surely a sign of respect for another group of people ‘who are not like you'. After seeing a few news articles and then seeing Terry Chenier's post … (34 comments)

I received this email a couple days ago and saved it so I could keep reading it. Before I continue ...this person is a Hawaii licensed real estate agent and a member of our board /mls.

games people play: How Does It Feel To Be a Plagiarizer? - 10/21/09 09:21 PM
We blog so we can give the consumer information regarding the Real Estate Industry, our Local Areas, Businesses while giving them a bit about ourselves. It's a shame when one of those consumers reads something and then Googles it to look for other articles and finds out it's on another website … (124 comments)

Once in awhile my husband and I catch each other on video. Don't you agree that when someone doesn't know...it's that much more entertaining real? The following is what he does after a long days work while I'm blogging.
Take note of the whole set up. He's playing the "Need for … (34 comments)

games people play: Semantics on Words for Showing Appointments? - 08/31/09 12:01 PM
I'm going down the home stretch in getting showing appointments ready for Hawaii Military Relocation clients. We all have our HORROR stories with no responses for email and showing requests but I ran across something that has me, my broker and other agents I've asked......stumped.
It took one week for an agent to respond to my calls and emails....with a … (21 comments)

games people play: Online Statements That Last a Lifetime and Beyond - 08/28/09 06:39 PM
Most of us know we have the ActiveRain Guidelines. I mean, all social networks have guidelines to follow don't they? Common sense tells us that we as Real Estate Industry professionals KNOW that we have to hold ourselves in the highest standard anyway, right?
Well, maybe some don't but I can tell … (24 comments)

games people play: Bad Business Indeed! - 08/01/09 04:21 AM
We all have our horror stories to tell when it comes to a transaction gone bad. It may have been a loan where the client wasn't really qualified to a agent that never answers their phone.
How about this horror story for any agent? Two offers are made on the same … (75 comments)

You ever have one of those days that just doesn't start out great? Well, today was one of those days.
I'm one of those agents that has to do everything correctly; down to correcting typos or mistakes. ESPECIALLY when it comes to property addresses.

games people play: The Hallway - 07/08/09 12:53 AM
If one were to admire another because of their smile, their laugh or blue eyes
Or think another were intelligent by their political views or religious preference...
Only to look down the long, lonely hallway and grasp that which seemed unobtainable
Would become a barrier and all would be for … (16 comments)

games people play: Being Mindful of Our Reputation Online - 07/04/09 09:30 PM
A very successful young woman treated all who worked under her like they were less than. She was mean and did not care who she hurt with her demanding haughty demeanor and words. All the office workers talked behind her back and everyone was in on letting each other know when … (46 comments)

games people play: MORE than Words - 06/09/09 11:43 PM
WORDS play a big part in determining an outcome of a situation and can greatly impact how another person is perceived. In person, the attitude of a person and the behavior that goes along with it can surely give us an idea on how a person's is. The demeanor and … (31 comments)

There have been times where we all get a phone call in the wee hours of the morning or wee hours of the night. A call for solicitation. I really don't want to hear that they want to make sure I know what the program is all about....when I haven't had … (12 comments)

games people play: RISKS Are GIFTS - 04/26/09 11:58 PM
Without risks there would be wondering, the ‘what ifs', no growth, no change. Without risks there would be a stagnant, unproductive, bored and lethargic life. Without risks I would have no in between. There would be life and death and no in between.
And it's what I do in between is … (32 comments)

The Real Estate Industry is a complex industry indeed and there are so many different factors to make a transaction work. If one party does not do their job or another does not work together with another in a timely manner then that dream of homeownership for a buyer is doomed … (23 comments)

games people play: Dirty Laundry VS Accountability - 03/05/09 07:57 PM
Exceptional service is one of my pet peeves...no matter what the profession. I bought a new washer/dryer combo last July. The second day I called to return it and have them deliver another one because the dryer was barely spinning. No problem they delivered another one in two days!
Slowly the … (34 comments)

games people play: Stepping Over the Line of Integrity - "Can't Touch This" - 03/04/09 10:40 AM
Everything about the Lionfish says, "Don't Touch" and "Can't Touch This"! The poisonous venom is delivered from the spiky dorsal fins and can be extremely painful to humans along with symptoms of nausea and breathing difficulties; though rarely fatal.
Life throws curve balls and it seems at more times than others. Sometimes … (17 comments)

games people play: There's a Diplomatic (Nicer) Way to Say IT! - 02/27/09 12:51 PM
We ALL feel the need to express opinions on many subjects. It's human nature.....we all think differently and have different opinions.

I've tried. I've really tried hard to socialize. I've really tried to get into Twitter & Facebook. Tried so many other Real Estate related networks out there to mingle with peers and the consumer.
