Newbie Tuesday - 11/6/2012 - Welcomes Rich Arnold

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

Rich ArnoldToday, Newbie Tuesday features Rich Arnold, a Keller Williams agent in Tempe, Arizona. I've seen Rich's comments around the Rain from time to time, and his accompanying profile photo sporting a dapper hat makes me smile. But, admittedly, I haven't had the time to really read many of Rich's posts - until today.

Wow, have I been missing out. Rich's writing style is sprinkled with humor and just the right touch of his own personality. For example, I could nearly feel the warm desert sun in his first post written in June of 2012. Instead of, it's a dry heat, his first blog, about a recent closing during hot Arizona weather was titled, "It's a Buy Heat." Short and sweet, it made me smile.

Another entertaining post, about the importance of previewing homes, Pretzel Driving, makes his point perfectly. Once again, he makes me smile. A recent post, written on November 4th, is about the civility, or lack of it, at times in Active Rain. I must have missed the drama ( thank goodness, I'm not a fan of drama) but, I really like Rich's ability to turn the issue into a positive, "When to Stand in the Rain..."

Newbie TuesdayIf you haven't had the chance to meet Rich, please drop by his blog and welcome him to the Rain. As of today, I'm a subscriber to his blog, hopefully, you'll also feel compelled to subscribe - he has a lot to offer. And, chances are, he'll make you smile.

Today's Newbie Tip: If you make it a habit of only reading the features (many from the usual suspects), you're missing out on some great posts. ( Although, Rich has already been featured several times!) Each day, take a minute or two and try to find a new voice, or an undiscovered one in the Rain. You'll be Rich(er) for it. ;)

Debb,

Humor is the great lubricant when things go awry...It makes so much bearable, if you can laugh at it.  Happy Tuesday.  Will be dropping by to read Arizona humor. A

To account for myself, I have always seen the world slightly differently than most people.  I look for the gold nugget in the dirt and I rejoice at all the little rewards!
