What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain  February 18 to February 24, 2018.

 

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!



wanda kabut nerdinFebruary 18:  Wanda Kabut-Nerdin   A Neologist. Are You?

I had no idea what this word meant but I like it!  

 

 

 

lise howeFebruary 19: Lise Howe That's Greek To Me-Or How Many Presidents Spoke Greek? Little Trivia

Who knew? Most of the people I know can barely speak English and those are the friends who were born here!

 

doug jonesDoug Jones What does it take (for me) to be a great Realtor?

Have you made the commitment yet? I think Doug has!

 

 

 

endre barath jrFebruary 20: Endre Barath, Jr. So what came first? The chicken or the egg? who is right?

I know where I stand on this...what about you?

 

 

 carla freundFebruary 21: Carla Freund Lessons learned from my Uber Drivers.

Have you used Uber? I've had good luck but Carla's shows you that there are good ones and then there are really good ones!

 

jon kolskyJon Kolsky Passion Got In My Way

I've spoken with Jon and he is a passionate person but very reasonable and professional as well. This post shows just how he handled something and kudos to him. It's not every person who could have or would have done this.

 

william feelaFebruary 22: William Feela Dealing with sub par people.

This one falls in the "now I've heard everything" category. But it did make me laugh as well.

 

 

barry owenFebruary 23: Barry Owen By the time the police arrive, it'll be too late.

We can never be too prepared. If we can, we need to take some personal responsibility in our safety as well as those around us.

 

jennifer mackayFebruary 24: Jennifer Mackay Why didn't the seller counter my offer?

Jennifer laid this out well and provide answers that buyers often ask.

 

 

sally and david hansonSally and David Hanson Real Estate Referrals CAN Be a Piece of Cake

These two know how to do the special things that make them memorable. Outstanding.

 



Don't forget to check out Carol Williams Second Chance Saturday posts as well. I always find a post or two that I missed.



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