Last Week's Favorites: June 19th -26th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

These are the posts that managed to catch my attention during a week where my attention was elsewhere.  And it's one of those weeks when I'm so glad I started to write this one as I found my favorites.  So here goes:

1.Janet Roosevelt:  COOL STUFF! Food for the Gods protects your skin ?   Janice brings us some very good news.

2.  Alan May:  I'm not an idiot... am I?  Alan, we all know that you are one of Active Rain's smart people bloggers.

3.  Elaine Cooper:  "What Is My Home Worth?"  There are only two people who can answer this question. 

4.  Norma Toering:  Save Gas--Look at Homes on the Internet--Tour Only the Chosen Few in Real Time  Even with gas prices going down, this is a great idea.

5.  Mary Ann Daly:  What Home Buyers Must Know - From Expert Witness and Author Cari Lynn Pace  Listen and learn!

6.  Jay Markanich:  I Speak Chinese  It's a great post, and by the end I was thinking, geeze, this guy does speak Chinese!

7.  Marte Cliff:  Banks Now Promoting Mortgage Fraud  For those of you fed up with banks, this will make you feel better.  NOT!

8.  Carol Ann Palmieri:  iBring a Flashlight  This might be the new euphemism for "the place is a total wreck."

9.  Mike Cooper:  Who Knew Bad News Could Be So Good?  I just subscribed to Mike, who raises great attitude to an art form.

10.  Mitchell Hall:  Time Lag Between Appraisal Report and a Changing Market  Clearly, Mitch's clients are not at the mercy of inept appraisers.

11.  Holly Kirby Weatherwax:  Creating a Sound Financial Future  Holly does a great take on the proposed 20% down rule.  Must reading for Congress!

12.  Jennifer Fivelsdal:  When should you use circa to describe the age of a house?  Reading this could eliminate an embarrassing faux pas.

13.  Scott Hays:  Random Musings: Entertainment, Sports, Pop Culture And A Little Bit Of Real Estate  You have to read it to the end.

14.  Loreena Yeo:  Workaholics Can't Tell TIME  This post is so, so true!  And it's one that most of us Type-A Realtors can relate to!

And 15.  William Johnson:  Photography | An Unusal Member of the Orchid Family  This photo is simply sublime. 

And that's all for this week.  And throughout this week, I'll be looking for you!
