Last Week's Favorites on Active Rain: October 20th - 27th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

The trees are gently swaying outside my office window as the breeze picks up.  Guess I have to hurry and blog while the power is still on!  So here goes:

Curtis Van Carter: Napa Valley's own Castle of Love, Castello di Amorosa  Here's a Localism post that made me want to pack my bags!

Chris and Dick Dovorany:   The Secret Shelling Spot  A funny story.  Did you know there are shell bloggers?

Ron & Alexandra Seigel:   Marketing Luxury Real Estate Tip: Why Psycho Graphics Matter-Part 6  Parts 1-5 are great, too!

Cynthia Larsen:  The good and the bad of Leeks and Leaks  Leeks good.  Leaks?  Not so much.

Lou Ludwig:  Everything Counts  Lou is great with your morning coffee, or with your evening glass of wine!

René Fabre:  A River Runs Through It  This is a lovely post about the Cedar River, and much more.

Cindy Jones:  Quick Quick Slow Slow The Dance Of A Real Estate Transaction  A hard to believe funny (or not) tale of real estate.

Jane Peters:  The Lazy Agent's Guide to Marketing  Don't try this one until you've been around for at least 15 years!

Jay Marchanich:  Major Termite Infestation And A Really Big Queen  Who knew?  Termite on steroids?

Bill Fields:  10 steps to better managing your time.  OK, sure, you already knew all this stuff.  Still a good read.

Have a great week, and if you're in the mid-Atlantic area, watch out for falling trees and flying objects.  And blog on!

Ron and Alexandra's pieces were fantastic.  But, they always write so well.  I didn't catch any of the others, so  off I go!

Thanks for another great list.
