What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-November 27- December 3, 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!

 

ron and alexandra seigelNovember 27: Ron and Alexandra Seigel Paying Forward Generates Good Luck.

I loved reading the Pay It Forward Posts for Belinda Spillman November Contest but Ron and Alexandra's particularly hit home. It reminded me of the PSA I've seen where one kind act travels to the next person and so on and so on.

 

sally and david hansonNovember 28:  Sally and David Hanson   ‘Cat got your tree?

Just in time for the holidays, you might find this tip helpful!!!

 

 

charles buellCharles Buell An Indictment of the Green Movement (The Sequel)

If you have any interest at all in home building and trying to build a more sustainable home, you'll love love Charles' post. And even if not, it is an educational and interesting read.

 

 

lynn b friedmanNovember 29: Lynn B. Friedman North GA Forest Fires 2016 Offers Hidden Joys Within Pay It Forward.

Paying It Forward takes on many faces and this was one that truly meant giving of your time and taking yourself out of what some may have considered their comfort level.

 

beth atalayNovember 30: Beth Atalay You May Go Broke to Be Strong

Beth writes some of the most inspirational and thought-provoking posts here and this one does not disappoint. Pass this on to an agent you know who may be struggling.

 

robert sicilianoDecember 1: Robert Siciliano Home Security Begins at the Entrance.

The holidays are upon us and this means that home burglars, thieves and other scum of the earth will want to take what is not theirs. So much press is on home security cameras, there may be something you might be missing.

 

 

zola bearDecember 2: Zola Bear Worst Nightmare Story in my 23 Years in Real Estate

Welcome Zola to ActiveRain and read about her nightmare story. Thankfully it had a happy ending.

 

harry f d'eliaDecember 3: Harry F. D'Elia Real Estate Mentors for 2017 and Beyond.

If you're wondering why you might want a mentor, read Harry's Top Ten Reasons. And you might even consider mentoring somone else.

 

 

 

 

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