What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain-January 29- February 4, 2017.

 

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!

 

debe maxwellJanuary 29: Debe Maxwell   UNDER CONTRACT! NOW WHAT?

I love that Debe includes how to prepare for your home for the inspection.  If you neglect this, it could delay the closing.

 

 

victoria henderson marshall hendersonVictoria Henderson Marshall Henderson For the love of Rudolph,please take down the decorations.

The title alone had me chuckling! You can probably relate to this.

 

 


wanda kabut nerdinJanuary 30: Wanda Kabut-Nerdin Getting in the way?

Sometimes the ah-ha moment lies in the simplicity of the words and a photo.

 

 

kathy goldmanFebruary 1: Kathy Goldman 10 Worst Beginner Blogger Bloopers

I wish I'd had this when I started blogging! By the way, better subscribe to Kathy's post because she only had space for 5 in this post. I want to know the other 5!!

 

 

debb janes and bernie steaFebruary 2: Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Ground Hog Day, The Movie - Lessons in Life and Real Estate

I love posts that are inspirational and fun. You'll love this one and you'll probably want to go out and watch Ground Hog Day again!

 

Patricia FeagerFebruary 3: Patricia Feager Time Tested Beauty-Sam Levenson (1911-1980)

This has one of my favorite poems that has been attributed to a very special lady but it was a surprise to discover the real author! Who? You'll need to go to Patricia's post!!!

 

marte cliffFebruary 4: Marte Cliff Write to a person, not to a crowd.

It sounds simple but we've all received letters that seemed address to "any person."

 

 

 

 

 




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