reblogs: Cheers to 35 Years in Real Estate
- 12/30/23 07:05 PM
Thirty-five years in one profession is quite an accomplishment. Please head to Pat's post and congratulate her for 35 years in real estate!!!
I realized last week that I was approaching the end of my 35th year in the real estate industry. I've seen a lot of change in the last 35 years. I got into real estate when buyer agency didn't exist! Everyone represented the seller whether they realized it or not. I was licensed in 1988 and buyer agency didn't become a thing until the early 1990s.
In those early years, I sold a lot of homes that … (7 comments)

reblogs: First Impressions are Crucial
- 09/09/23 05:44 PM
I love this post! Let's encourage Dana to write a post for each of her 20 Things She Learned While Tending Bar.
I recently re-read an ActiveRain post I wrote in 2015 where I listed 20 things I learned tending bar. In reflection, the list still rings true to me, but I wish I had taken the time to expand on each of the 20 lessons a bit more. I also realized that these lessons were accumulated through many service jobs I've taken on, including as a waitress at a New Jersey Diner (Golden Coach), at a New Jersey bagel … (9 comments)

Hi all...it looks like we are experiencing Poof Blogs (thank you Wayne Martin ) so patience please as ActiveRain Member Support works its magic.
We just figured out today that there is a glitch in the system regarding group features. We're not sure when it started, but I first noticed something weird last week. I had featured John Meussner post in BananaTude. When I looked in the group later that day, it was gone - POOF - disappeared from the group and the feature section on the top of the group.. I contacted John and he let me know he hadn't … (11 comments)

I love what Nick's client asked him...please slow down! I get it because I saw a video today that made me really dizzy. Please leave comments on Nick's post!
With COVID we all gained new skills, or improved on ones we were already using. I am becoming quite adept at making video tours of listings. I always do them for my own listings, not that they sell the house, but it helps to differentiate me from other agents. Facebook open houses can be fun as well, I had one client host an open house on Facebook when we were all but … (3 comments)

Let's not forget what happened on June 30, 2013. It takes a special person to do what these brave 19 did. Please leave your comments on Jan's post.
Anytime you drive by the area of Yarnell, Arizona, and if you're from Arizona, you know the significance of this town and the tragedy of June 30, 2013. That day nineteen hot shot firefighters lost their lives in a tragic fire that had overtaken the area.
The Yarnell fire started from a lightening strike and spread quickly due to monsoon winds, a seasonal occurrence in Arizona. A crew of 20 hotshot … (10 comments)

we all know that May means Memorial Day but I had no idea that May is also Military Appreciation Month. If you know someone in the military, or who has served, then please take the time to thank them. And, thank you, Endre Barath, Jr.
Hard to believe today is May 1st! Did you know it is also Military Appreciation Month?

reblogs: Happy April 1st Fool Day Everyone
- 04/01/21 06:41 PM
I have been known to play a prank or two on April Fool's Day but passed this year. Never really thought about its origins!!!
Every year on April 1st, and this year on Thursday April 1, 2021, we celebrate April 1st Fools Day.
There are several myths and theories about how, when, and where April 1st Fools Day developed.
One theory suggest that April Fools' Day began in the 1500s when Julian calendar replaced by the Gregorian calendar.
Many claim April 1st Fools Day originated during Romans' winter ending celebration; while others claim started from the Celtic's new year conclusion festivals.

Holiday Photographs in the Neighborhood: Kentlands
We always advise home buyer clients to take walks through the neighborhoods they are considering for their home purchase. It is a good way to see what is offered in the area and it is a good way to meet neighbors.
Our Kentlands neighborhood has a neo-traditional design that is ideal for walking. Lighted sidewalks line both sides of the streets and the … (7 comments)

Wow...Grateful...where do I start? Who do I thank? How many should I thank? Is it even possible to remember everyone who deserves to be thanked? How about those that I will forget...will they be upset?

Everything about Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! post rings true. If you have children in your life, read this!!!!!
Cashlen no longer cashed in!
From the moment he was born, Cashlen’s parents spoiled and coddled. They gave in to every whim, ensuring he was never in need or want for anything. Once grown, the expectation remained, he refused to venture out and make his own fortune.
He anticipated the parents would provide, no matter the circumstance.
Eventually, they turned him out into the world, thinking he was mature enough to handle adulthood. He absolutely resented his parents, refusing to speak to them … (6 comments)
