I have to confess
I HEAR VOICES.
I searched the house thinking there were these little kids hiding in the cabinets but no, that wasn't it. Was it some psychotic break with voices in my head, where I needed some new meds prescribed? No, I don't think that was what it was.
It was the voices of the many in real estate social networking. It was an Active Rain call. One thing I have noticed from my own writing one article after another is a voice rises to the surface. Why this is so I haven't quite figured out yet but it perhaps has to do with what you are passionate or knowledgeable about.
The voices I have heard include knowledge about local markets, technology interest like the new Flip video camera, passions about topics in politics like who should be the next President, rants of all kinds from other dopey Realtors to the pros and cons of the new Localism to ethical behavior. I have heard voices in the mortgage industry about whether we are going through a meltdown. I have heard voices about shoddy repair of ceilings damaged by water leaks. There are voices that just want to tell a joke. There are voices about plummeting prices of homes in southeastern Florida. Also, inspiring voices. In Las Vegas I have heard more than one voice that there may be too many condos for sale. Voices, voices, get out of my head Jason Crouch! Then there are the songs of the inspired. There are the MeMes and ThemThems. So much to say, so little time to read. This forum has practiced my speed reading skills. There are all sorts of clubs from Christianity to Chaos. There are Public voices, Members Only voices, and if you get to really feel the love some day the "Jacked" voices. And there is the so much laughter. Please take time to enjoy the laughter. It is there, and it is real.
All I want to say to all the voices and to especially the Newbies trying to figure this crazy place out, do not rule out any voice you encounter. Stick with it. First impressions here can be misleading at times. Stay open. This is a great place to listen for awhile before you fire back that reply comment. Trust that almost all the voices you will get something out of if you just hang with them
Gotta go. I'm hearing more voices calling me again!!!
