Have you ever noticed that when you are busy, you get busier? Or when you're not busy, nothing happens?
For the second day I have come into the office to discover that the Internet is down. This is serious. I feel like I am on a deserted island and living my worst nightmare. Sure, I have my trusty Blackberry Curve, but it's just not the same thing! A mobile browser … (5 comments)
I am a Curve Loving Blackberry user. Many agents in my office had the Palm Treo, but they have, one by one, changed over to the BB Curve. We are a LARGE company, with 68 offices. The #4 Company in the country. Therefore, we have corporate mail, and the phones with … (7 comments)

Recently I took a listing along a street in a very nice neighborhood, but something has been happening to my signs, they come up missing everyday! Now, I would say it was a neighbor trying to sell their house, but the three other agents signs don't seem to disappear. (Two belong … (17 comments)

So, California is king of film production. Movie Town. Hollywood. Lights, camera, action!
Have to admit, knew absolutely nothing about this device. Happened to win a wide angle lens that attaches to your digital camera lens with a magnet. It is inexpensive, and it makes all the difference. Yes, we have already tried it out! Go onto this website:

Do you carry your camera with you at all times?

Hey AR!Let's Face it, our office is not 'brick and mortar' its out in the field and at people's kitchen tables. And you never know when you will need something that's why being prepared is being professional. Plus now-a-days its much less economical with gas prices and your value per hour … (5 comments)

REO - Start With a Simple BPO and the Basic Tools of the Trade
Tonight I downloaded Opanda to see how many pictures I've take with my Virtual Tour camera, a Nikon D70. 65,000! It did break down last year, but it was still under warranty, so they fixed it for free. I've definitely gotten my money's worth. If you're interested, I'm selling a much … (0 comments)

There has been much written about photography here on ActiveRain recently, touching on a number of issues.
When looking at an old home, that has experienced roof leaks and other leaks since it was built in 1875, I'd like to test for mold.
SO what ever reason; my digital camera died. Why did it die? Who knows. I think because the 1 year warranty expired 3 months ago - and well - that's what happens.

It is a known fact that advertising is made to attract our eyes. Marketers work very hard to plant visual memories in your mind.

My husband and I have a running argument about going through the pockets of items to be laundered. He's for it. I am, well... forgetful.

We went to the Nikon D50 SLR digital to get the best pictures and to get the 28 mm exposure which is a wide angle lens. We use a tripod to take the pictures. especially for virtural tours. I have seen some other smaller cameras but didn't like them. What cameras … (3 comments)
What a difference a lens makes...
I'm kind of curious what kind of camera most real estate agents prefer and why. There have been some great posts in the past on how to take pictures and how to doctor them up, but is there a specific camera that will work better than others?
