Last Week's Favorites: July 17th - July 24th

That nasty heat wave blanketed most of the country this week, but it didn't keep our bloggers down.  Here is a list of posts that, for whatever reason, caught my eye this week:

1.  Susan Emo:  DUH, I KNOW YOU CALLED - I HAVE CALLER ID!!!  Susan brings us the rules of engagement for telephone etiquette. 

2.  Jason Sardi:  In Lieu of a Happy Birthday Roast.  OK, OK.  So his birthday was a week ago!  Sardi, think of it as a belated birthday card!  

3.  Tye & John Watson:  Home Buyers and the New Carbon Monoxide Law in CA  Law or not, these things are just a good idea. 

4.  Jennifer Fivelsdal:  Wild Raspberries Over Ice-Cream Perfect On A Hot Summer Night  The photo is beautiful, and I could taste the berries through my computer screen!

5.  Tish Lloyd:  I'm not selling you a home -- I'm helping you buy one   This does seem to be the paradigm for when working with buyers. 

6.  William Johnson:  Lazy Days of Summer  Hot is one thing, but when you have this much fur, it's gotta be a bitch!

7.  Jeff Dowler:  Cannon Art Gallery in Carlsbad CA | July - September 2011 Exhibit "Almost Alice"  This is an example of a great local post -IMHO

8.  Charles Buell:  Home inspector finds evidence of mischief!  This post is just way fun.  What an imagination, Charles!

9.  Kay Van Kampen:  You Realtors Are Only Out To Make Money!  This one contains some great scripts we can all suck into our brains for just the right moment.

10.  Ellen Caruso:  The "Whale Tales" #11  This is a sweet post.  I went back to look at the other ten, and they are equally enchanting. 

11.  Chris Hooks:  Do You See What I See?  This says a lot about how the local real estate market impacts the local economy.   

12.  Lenn Harley:  "Planning ahead" is fine, as long as access to the property under contract doesn't have to be entered.   Important advice here.

13.  Tni LeBlanc:  Bank of America’s Bogus War Against Short Sale Dual Agency  Just one more example of the big bank shooting itself in the foot. 

14.  Elisha Grace:  Taking care of Delinquent Accounts  Elisha is a newbie blogger who I ran across last week, and she's off to a great start.

And 15.  Kristine Ginsberg: Be Effective in Business and in Life  Kristine combines good advice with some stunning photos. 

So that's all for this week.  See you again next Sunday.  Have a productive week and stay cool!  Oh wait, that might not be possible.
