Short Story of Carl's two inspections because of Active Rain blogs.

This morning the first six emails were Labor Day Sales. Are we being inundated in our own home?

Now is this enticement or what? They are saying we want your money,  whether you come into the store or Buy-On-Line. I'm sure if you look at the Email sale items you can find something you want. What I have discovered is the shipping charges, what use to be  FREE now has a shipping charges depending on how slow or how fast you want to get your item and how much you spend.

My preference is to shop on line for non clothing items. When it comes to clothes I best go to the corner retail store. If on line, I love to shop items that I can do a comparison price check.

I know you are asking what this has to do with Real Estate, keep reading.

What are your preferences? What are some of your favorite websites? I have purchased from all of the above some time or other so they target me FOR SALE ITEMS. Think we can do that with real estate?

The Labor Day Emails and Sales really has nothing to do with Carl's 2-For-1 story but it reminded me of what just happened. If we had deleted that one Email we would not have gotten a 2-For-1.

                                                                                      Thank U Active Rain!

A short story: Carl did an inspection a week or so ago. A realtor called that had never used him before but found him on Active Rain; Yea for Active Rain! The house was a rental.

 When he arrived for the  home inspection the renters greeted him and they immediately recognized each other. Yes, these folks were building a new home and Carl was doing the  new home phase inspection. This was a fluke meeting. Both were Active Rain related. See the folks that were building also found us through a blog Carl did on a New Home Phase Inspection Blog. However, the request went to the Spam folder for some reason and we almost deleted it. Long story short, don't delete something in error, it may be your next sale or your next home inspection.

In short, this was a TWO- FOR -ONE IN MY EYES. Kind of like some of the emails that are coming into the email box for Labor Day Sales. I like 2-For-l Email's. We hope you get yours this Labor Day Weekend.
