What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-March 27 to April 2, 2016

 

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, something about Real Estate, about a place or person!  Or it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

alan mayMarch 27: Alan May    the Pre-Listing Home Inspection
Over the years, I’ve heard both sides of this discussion- to get a pre-listing inspection, or not.  Alan asks where you all stand on this.  Let’s go over and give him your opinion.

 

thomas j nelsonThomas J Nelson What Matters Most (part 1)

If you haven't read Thomas' blog, I encourage you to do so. I love this one so much, I sent it to my nieces!

 

 

grant schneiderMarch 28: Grant Schneider Hire Slow Fire Fast

He speaks the truth! I had 10 years as a placement counselor and hiring the wrong employee for the position is disruptive to the whole company.

 

robert sicilianoMarch 29: Robert Siciliano Bitdefender's BOX All-in-one Cybersecurity All in One Box

I'm taking a look at this one because I'd love to simplify all of the cyber-this and cyber- that I have at home.

 

scott godzykMarch 30: Scott Godzyk Buyer wants the Buyer agent fee for them since they don't have an agent.

Some people will try to get what they can for work they didn't do or deserve.

carra RileyMarch 31: Carra Riley Connecting a Cross Country Move

You can probably access information on this event but it's good information for your sellers or buyers who are making a major move.

 

 

sybil campbellApril 1: Sybil Campbell I've lost money on my house.

This is a different one for me. This is Sybil's first post in ActiveRain, written back in 2008. She is celebrating the anniversary of her first post and asked us to visit her first post. Well, I loved how she handled the question all agents have had to address.

 

bryant tutasApril 2: Bryant Tutas Feeling Stressed? Then Set Boundaries and Create Habits.

First of all, welcome back Bryant! Then please read this excellent post. Make it tailored for you but trust me, if you do, you'll see a difference.

 

kathleen danielsKathleen Daniels 2016 Goals An ActiveRain April Challenge

Yes, there is an April challenge! And Kathleen is off to a good start. Really, head to her post and read the first part. I think she may have missed her calling and might consider doing some stand up!!







 

Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!
