      <title>Will Optimism Pave The Way In 2009</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; I believe we all need an optimistic boost in these times! I believe that one's attitude dictates quite a bit with regard to fully presenting just&amp;nbsp;what an&amp;nbsp;incredible buyer's market it is right now! Thanks to the recent Stimulus Bill, buyers will now have a true credit of $8,000 that does not require repayment over time. That's a pretty awesome incentive! How many of us &lt;a href="http://www.equitygroup.com/lopuch" title="Buyers Agents" target="_blank"&gt;buyers agents&lt;/a&gt; are spreading this incredible news? I hope that everyone is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; I've been racking my brain to come up with an appropriate analogy to express my optimism toward our currently amazing buyer's market. I love to go surfing in the warmer months(keep in mind that I live in the Pacific Northwest). One can draw many parallels between surfing and life. Some days are filled with waves of activity while others seem flat. I view our current market as a huge wave of opportunity for lots of people to ride!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; It's time to encourage our fence riding clients to hop off, grab a few planks off of the fence and&amp;nbsp;create their own surfboards of opportunity. The time to start seriously paddling is RIGHT NOW. It's those who choose to&amp;nbsp;remain on shore(or perched on their fences)who will never know just how amazing the surfing is today!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Is Active Rain Effective?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I certainly hope that Active Rain is effective. Although I've been in the business for several years now, I'm only now beginning to understand the&amp;nbsp;true effectiveness of interrelating several avenues&amp;nbsp;of my web presence to drive and increase business. I enjoy technology, but I&amp;nbsp;much more prefer&amp;nbsp;being in front of clients than the impersonal feeling I get from web only contact as a primer.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
