I'm been meaning to write this for a couple of months...the best laid plans, time gets away from you, you get busy and forget...bla, bla, bla!  BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, so THANKS LUCKY :), for taking time to talk to me as a fairly new member member of Active Rain.  You time, encouragement, and very nicely telling me I had messed up on a few things, and setting me straight on a few of the edicts of "PROPER ACTIVE RAIN BEHAVIOR" :) :) :).  Not only did Lucky :), just not automatically delete a listing I had posted wrong, he left me a message to call him, and that he needed to talk to me.  Well talk he did, Lucky :) spent almost an hour teaching, and telling me some things to do differently that would be better for me, and how to change my listing so it could stay on Gena's great group, Listings by address, that he is helping her with now, but he did it while he was on VACATION.  I have never been chastised so nicely in my life, and he went on to teach me so many things.  He did not have to do that, but on getting to know him better, that's just the kind of guy he is, and I also found out he is one of the top Realtors in the US who sells a ton of Real Estate too.  I've since met and talked to a lot of really nice people here and plan to hang around and hopefully I can "Pay It Forward" and help some other person to make them feel as welcome to a group as Lucky :) did me.

This is a great place to express yourself, get good advice, and tips for just about anything, not just Real Estate. Thanks Lucky :), and all the other great fokes I've met here, look forward to many more conversations and lots of learning, and sharing.  Liz

PS, Lucky :) I did get that silly feather on my blog "CLUELESS REALTOR", however I picked a very pretty white one, unfortunately I did not think about it was going to be on a white background, OH WELL, I did try, but after the amount of time I spent to finally get it in the sentence of "the phrase, you could have knocked me over with a feather comes to mind", there was NO WAY, I was going to go look for a black one...next time my new friend.  Another lesson learned on AR.  Still working on remembering to spell check too :)

What a wonderful post to write. By the way, where in our area are you going to scuba? The artificial reef that A&M set up? Nice picture.

Hi Frank, I love to dive, and have been lucky to scuba dive all over the world in the top dive sights from Cozumel, to Bali, to PNG, to Thailand, to Galapagos Islands, to Australia, to Costa Rica, to Belize to Rotan (where this picture was taken 20+ years ago)...but the long flights are worth it :)...are you a diver?  Liz

Hey Scott, cute, but no just the lady underwater that sells homes :).  Point is people remember it, since I have used it as my "logo" all these years.  The tag line on it is "Before you dive into buying or selling a home...talk to someone who knows the waters!"  It was fun talking it and has become kinda my logo.  I wrote more about the problems taking the shoot on one of my other blogs, but can't remember which one?  Might have been "Clueless Realtor", or "Am I Crazy" :)  Have a great 08, Liz

Hi Jill, wer'e neighbors...I'm in San Diego at my Mike Ferry Real Estate coaching, and just got a referral on a family that will be buying in Cypress or Spring.  They want 3000 SF, 5 BR, around $180,000, do you have anything listed like that?  Liz

Liz,

First off, thanks so much for the very kind words!  With all of the billions of people in this country, it's great to know that we can make sure a wonderful connection here in the RAIN!

Secondly, your blogging skills are growing with leaps and bounds!  Remembering back to the beginning months of Active Rain, mine were very awkward!  It's funny to look back at old posts!

Thirdly, you have got to be the Queen of Katy with all the Real Estate that you are moving for people there!  You and your team have got to be the best thing going for buyers and sellers in your area of Texas!

Fourthly, where is "PNG"?  Laura and I are divers as well but haven't made it to anywhere near the number or exotic places that you have!  Our favorite is Aruba off Baby Beach!  It was spectacular!

Finally, we will have that follow up session soon.  I have been very blessed to have been very busy with Real Estate in Davenport, Iowa!

Thanks again for all your kind words!

Lucky :)

Hi Lucky, YEA, you saw it!  Thanks right back at you, I've really been trying to get it down, and do it right.  Got a nasty comment from a moderator of a group, who may or may not remain nameless, and that is what made me think to writ a blog about you.  It was night and day difference, you were very kind to a "newbie".

PNG, is in Paupa New Guinea, one of the last extremely isolated places in the world, they did not see a white man till WW 11.  An amazing place to dive, the best in the world and I've been to most.  More later, have a meeting.  L

Liz,

PNG sounds like an exciting place to dive but Laura would never be able to do it unless she had all of the conveniences waiting for her back at the hotel!

Take care,

Lucky :)

Some of the resorts are first class, so she will have it waiting for her.  Go on the web and check out some of the dive resorts in PNG, or we also did a live abourd which was great.  I can look up some for you that we stayed out if you want me to?  Liz
