Sometimes you deserve a second chance, not because you weren't fabulous the first time but because the timing and circumstances weren't quite right. You just got overlooked."
-Carol Williams
Does getting Featured here in The Rain sometimes feel like a roll of the dice? Not anymore. I'm always open to member suggestions on posts that should be Featured but somehow got missed. That's what Second Chance Saturday is all about. Tag me in any posts you read that you'd like to see Featured here each week.
I had quite a few nominations this week, so I saved some carry over to get started for next week.

Thanks, Carol. I've been around a long time and have seen many agents who get into conflict with the covering agent because there was no clear understanding of the expectations... Like any other business arrangment, its best to put it in writing, to protect both parties. Hope you're having a great weekend as well!
