Last Week's Favorites on Active Rain:  September 2nd - 9th

Last week was fun.  I was in Paris, staying in my broker's apartment there, and she has it well stocked with everything necessary to stay connected to the office, including really high speed Internet.  So after a long day of walking my feet off, I'd kick back wtih a glass of something cold and delicious and sign on to Active Rain.  And here are some of the posts I really liked:

Fernando HerbosoWhat Are The 13 Dumbest Things Real Estate Agents Do  This is a pretty all-inclusive list!

Cherimie Crane: Mother Nature Returned The Favor  This post has a photo that is just priceless. 

Michael George:  Free SEO, Get Better Rankings for Your Site: Guaranteed  This could be an interesting new group, if they'll let you in!

Gwen Banta: "Larges kale rooms" Are Your Listings Vegetating on the MLS?  This is laugh until you cry great.

Jay Markanich:  Tilting At Toilets  Nothing, I mean NOTHING, gets by Jay Markanich!  And you gotta love his title.

Charles Buell:  The Perfect 10!  This is a cute post that includes a pretty amazing photo.  How'd they DO that?

Teri Eckholm:  Going Above and Beyond!  How to you get to totally amazing service?  Teri's post gives us some hints.

Richard Weisser:  Dear SEO Company: Thanks for filling out my contact form!  The SEO guys are getting more persistant than the lead sellers!

Lloyd Binen:  Coyotes in West San Jose  Coyotes are showing up in a lot of unusual places - even urban Washington, DC!  Where are your pets?

Gita Bantwal:  Can you really be assured of your commission when working with buyers?  Not really!

That's all for today!  Hope you all have a productive week and write some great blog posts about it!  See you next Sunday.

I've heading off to read Lloyd's blog.  We live nea West San Jose so knowing more about the coyotes is important.  I've heard they're hunting cats.

Merci beaucoup, Pat.  I'll check some of these others during the 49ers vs Packers halftime.  When I googled "coyotes in west san jose" to link the Mercury News article to my post, I was surprised to find lots of references to coyotes in othe rurban areas.  If a Dingo got Meryl Streep's baby, can't a coyote get a toddler?  I think so.

Loved Fernando's post.  He tells it like it is.  If we aren't succeeding, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
