- 01/12/12 10:52 PM
SOPA and PIPA TIME TO PAY ATTENTION is NOW How do we get one another to pay attention to major issues? Do we form committees or do we call our friends? Do we take ads in the newspaper or call our elected representatives?Do we write letters to everyone we know or stand on a corner and make a speech? Those are questions we will all be asking ourselves if the SOPA and PIPA legislation passes. But we will be asking something more like - HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? WE SHOULD HAVE ...

ActiveRain Community Guidelines 2012 BIG Jumpstart Back2Basics WHY HAVE COMMUNITY GUIDELINES ANYWAY???If a group has a plan then the group must formulate its Community Guidelines if the group wants to survive in its own manner. I am sure ActiveRain founders thought about those guidelines in much the same way that our Constitution framers thought about their work. They sought to develop something that would really grow and prosper. The Challenge asks us to focus on an aspect of the Community Guidelines that made our AR experience so very special.My choice for today is the basis on respect that pervades the Community … (7 comments)

Statistics Always Accurate or Sometimes DistortedAtlanta Metro ODAT Realty CDPE Advanced Buy Lease Sell Market Data Buckhead Atlanta GA Reading the S&P/Case-Shiller report for December 27, 2012, one would think that a major crisis caused a terrible situation in Atlanta's housing prices. In my opinion, the data are a direct result of Lenders DUMPING a large number of very low-priced Foreclosed properties all at once onto the Atlanta Metro market. These properties were clumped inside the pipeline and then spilled out in a dramatic swoop. So, what looks like some disaster is the direct result of deliberate timing and dumping. We … (6 comments)

"Why do you think we need to re-paint???"
Many times people ask us a question whose answer seems so obvious to us!! What do you think? Repaint or not?
Have a great January - Lynn
Many reasons to reject houses once visiting the inside. Well this one would give you pause unless your client is in the funeral home business, or the buyers have a wacky sense of humor. But great conversation piece.

The day has been beautiful. I spent lots of time with the family - playing games, listening to guitar practice, playing cards and walking.

The call came via my Zillow zip code sponsorship two days ago. The caller wanted to buy a pied-à-terre to avoid the drive of 1.5 hours each way to work everyday.

The focus of this challenge was planning for 2012. Today I realized that a small but important detail for our work does not have a set pattern to follow.

Most of the properties we manage are older - cold weather snaps could equal problems for the pipes if the water is not dripping overnight. Contacted all … (4 comments)

Please check out the controversy about these two bills in Congress. What started out as a way to protect movies and music from overseas piracy has mushroomed into a set of proposals that would shut down a website's internet communications if a charge was levied - not waiting to see if the website were found to be guilty. I may not have digested all of this yet but I wonder about the situation.

Yes, this is a business goal for 2012. When I don't put the family first, I feel guilty. When I feel guilty, I don't work as efficiently. Easy - right?
