Last Week's Favorites: October 18th-24th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

I can't believe how quickly last week flew by!  And during the week, the ActiveRain goblins did something that messed with my format.  Oh well!  So as we start another week, it's time to share the list of my favoite posts:

How ActiveRain got its name - Kathleen Luiten:  this was news to me!  I thought it was because of the rain in Seattle!

You Can Pick the Neighborhood but Not Your Neighbors - Jack Lewitz:   And of course, your neighbors don't pick you!

He Lost A Buyer Because His Agent Didn't Give Him The Offer - Karen Fiddler: How not to make things better when you are wrong!

Remember The Strangeloves? - Ken Jones: who knew ActiveRain has a real rock star in our midst!

My best advice for newbie Realtors - Mike Cooper:  Mike gives us must reading for all rookies.

What Happens When a For Sale By Owner Meets the Appraiser - Chris Ann Cleland:  a cautionary tale.

The rewards of looking up... - Jeanne Feenick:  Jeanne is new to ActiveRain and off to a great start.

Liking The Possibilities - Michael Jacobs: This is a collection of great wisdom from some famous folks - and from Michael!

Trees Usually Don't Get Smaller - Jay Markanich: It's obvious but not to a lot of do-it-yourself gardeners!

And Miles To Go Before I Sleep (With Apologies To Robert Frost & The Bard) - Bill & Liz Spear: It's like warm chocolate chip cookies!

 aSo that's all for this morning.  I'm off to an Open House at an amazing place in Chevy Chase.  Please wish me luck!

Pat- sorry to get to this so late but I'm so happy I did.  Even though I read a lot of the posts here, I still missed many that you featured.  And I see we have one member featured by both of us.

I spent many a day last week working with the "Gremlins" as I call them. They came early this year and it was a PITA to keep the blog up and running, add pix and edit text. I am glad that's over with!

Onward and forward!

Catch ya later. Ciao!
