April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month
 
Distracted driving is an epidemic in the United State, joining alcohol and speeding as a leading factor in fatal and serious injury crashes. Thousands die senselessly from distracted driving.
 
                                                               
 
Cell phone use is a factor in nearly 1 in 4 crashes at any times. 9% of drivers are on cells, making them 4 times as likely to crash.
It is the conversation not the device that is dangerous. Texting has become a popular communication American teens send and receive an average of 3,300 text messages a month.

Kweeh Wordless Wednesday 4/25/2012 – 1st Customer from Activerain Met Face to Face - 04/25/12 06:52 PM
 
Mr. B. Simmons from New Jersey found me on Activerain. He called on March 20, 2012 asking questions about communities in Venice FL. Yesterday he arrived in town and this morning I showed him around some communities. At the last community, before we left he asked for a picture so that he could show it to his family members and friends that I am his REALTOR. In turn I got permission to take his picture and post it in Activerain and share it with all.  It shows that Activerain works and adds extra rings to my phone.

I recently had an investor buyer call to ask me about a mobile home on a lot that seemed abandoned.  He wanted me to contact the owner to see if they would be interested in selling.  Before contacting the owner, I checked recent sales in the area.  I found an older 3 bedroom 2 bath concrete block house that sold for $55,000., but no mobiles for a comparison.  When I called the owner, she said it needed a lot of work, but she wasn’t going to give it away – she wanted $75,000., … (10 comments)
