What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain  July 30- August 5, 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!



william feelaJuly 30: William Feela     What if you get sick….?

It seems simple enough but I have a feeling that there are many first time homebuyers who could use an agent who would ask some simple questions.


kevin greenJuly 31: Kevin Green Always Learning

Kevin offers some excellent information especially if you're a new agent! And you know how I feel about learning.

 

debe maxwellDebe Maxwell Networking-It's All About Who You Know and How You Treat Them

If Debe's post doesn't jump start your networking efforts or give you some fresh ideas I'm not sure what will!

 

luke agreeAugust 1: Luke Acree What REALTORS Can Learn From Starbucks.

Who hasn't been to Starbucks? Meet Luke and he offers us a great analogy.

 

ross milroyAugust 2: Ross Milroy If I Knew Then...

Welcome Ross to ActiveRain. And he shared with us an experience he learned from. I'll bet many of us have been there/done that.

 

Kevin RayAugust 3: Kevin Ray Daily Listing Photo Tip: Clear the Counters in the Kitchen and Bathroom.

This post is so simple and yet it makes the point. We've all seen MLS photos where you want to shake your head and wonder what they were thinking. Take a photo and show it to your sellers so they'll see that their idea of clean and ready to go are very different from that of a camera.


sheila andersonAugust 4: Sheila Anderson The Retirement Myth

Sheila has written a lovely post sharing with us pieces of who she is. What I love is her thought about volunteers and how they are treated. I certaainly learned something!

 

carol williamsAugust 5: Carol Williams Gaining Perspective: Inconvenience vs Crisis

We've all had to experience those times when something throws a wrench in our lives but sometimes looking at it from a different persepective shines a new light on it.

 




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

This happened on my laptop. I just read on where it was a glitch this morning on AR. My 2 that I especially liked were Debe Maxwell's and Sheila Anderson's. Carol made an excellent comparison. Now William's hit home because even though I didn't get sick but injured my back in 1998 and unfortunately lost my home because of major drop in income.
