What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain- September 8 to September 14, 2013.
I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment. It could be something techie, about Real Estate, about a place or person!
September 8: Debbie Gartner Are You Using Any Forums (Aside from AR) Any to Recommend?
Debbie brought up a good question and I hope you’ll head there to offer you 2 cents. It will benefit us all. I’m here for the most part. There are some very good Staging groups at LinkedIn but it’s used primarily for an exchange of information between Stagers.
September 9: Jeff Dowler Why I Use Video to Market Your Carlsbad Home for Sale.
We have all known how important video is in today’s marketing , or at least I thought we did. Check out Jeff’s post to see what your competition is or isn’t doing and his excellent approach to his sellers about why he uses video.
Sharon Tara Chromecast- The Easiest Way to Watch Online Video On Your TV.
As I told Sharon, I love tech stuff and gadgets but we were slow to get into streaming video. There’s only so much time to watch movies during football season but take a look at this! I remember when Google offered it the first day at a special rate….they sold out early!
September 10: Richard Yates The Most Popular Smart Members of ActiveRain
We have so many sharing members at ActiveRain, but none more giving than Richard Yates. He has constantly offered posts that show us how to do what we do a lot better. Be sure to read this and if you haven’t subscribed to his blog yet… what the heck are you waiting for?
September 11: Andrew Payne Basic Cleaning Tips to Help Make Your Listing Sparkle.
This is such a basic list that every Listing Agent could make a copy and give it to their sellers. Hopefully they’ll use it!
Ralph Magin The Freedom Tower Miami
I’ve been to Miami many times but was not aware of the Freedom Tower. If you get a chance, watch the video. I love these historic buildings and the fact that people are saving them.
September 12: Hella Mitschke Rothwell What Are My Obligations to a Former Listing with a Subsequent Buyer?
My ah-ha moment was just the fact that I’d never really thought of an agent’s obligations to their former listing. I’m not an agent but I like what Hella had to say.
September 13: Silvia Dukes Florida Nature- Luna Moth
I am not on a quest to see if I can find one of these. What about you? They're beautiful.
September 14: Michael Thornton Just a thought…
Words can be a source of power…. positive or negative. I love what Michael had to say, especially so when we need to teach our children to use and choose their words carefully.
Michael Jacobs Pasadena Homeowners Ask What’s My Home Worth? Well - that Depends.
A simple question and yet Michael shows that there isn’t just one answer. I’d never really thought of it that way but after reading Michael’s post, it certainly showed me just what he meant.
