What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-May 10 to May 16, 2020

 

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 or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice! 

 

liz and bill spearMay 10:  Liz and Bill Spear    A Slight Miscalculation Can be Painful

This was painful to read and I squirmed as I read it. 

 

barry owenMay 11:  Barry Owen     Your List of Unfinished Projects

Yes, we all have them but what to do with them. They’re not going away, you know. 

 

greg brownGreg Brown    Mother’s Day with Social Distancing

What a cute way to say you care during our Physical Distancing! Well done video. 

 

li readMay 12:  Li Read    21 Days for new habits? Hmmmmm

The phrase “new normal” is getting old. But I do think we’re developing new habits...or at least we can. 

 

alan mayMay 13:  Alan May    Push my button

You HAVE to watch this video and then please let Alan know if you would have pushed the button.

 

lauren laskiMay 14:  Lauren Laski  Don’t Know Much About Biology

Love Lauren’s attitude about this. It is a trait I’m always working on.

 

 

scott godzykMay 15:  Scott Godzyk     Can a Buyer without an agent Receive the Buyer Agent’s Commission?

Scott gets them all, doesn’t he?  And he handled this one just like he always does...as a professional with some humor. 

 

jeffrey richmanMay 16:  Jeffrey Richman    Virtual Reality is the New Real Estate?

Embrace it or get run over by it!  I love what VR can do to help sell homes. Chime in!





Don’t forget to check out Carol Williams Second Chance Saturday posts as well!!! I always find several posts that I’ve missed.
