patricia feager: Real Estate Love Stories on ActiveRain
- 02/01/18 08:20 AM
Author: Patricia Feager, 2/1/2018
Entry #1 for February AR Contest for Lisa Von Domek
There is no question that children see, hear, touch, smell, taste, feel, and think a lot. Their brains are always concocting ideas, saying things out loud, and expressing how they feel. Plus, they are eager to learn. As a mother, grandmother, and Real Estate Salesperson, my favorite observers are children under five years old.
I love working with buyers who have small children. Kids say the stillest things and they are clever too! When working with Buyers that include family, parents have major decisions to make for location, schools, budgeting, needs, and wants. … (31 comments)

Author: Patricia Feager, 1/31/2018
Last night's sky in Flower Mound was simply heavenly! These photos were taken outside my back door where my kitchen had a warm glow inside. I opened the door! Took in a deep breath and watched the sky paint a canvas of beauty right before my very eyes. I must have taken a dozen photos or more but these seem to capture the moment most creatively for me.
You'll never know how thankful I am for the blue skies and sunsets over Flower Mound, TX. The colors stir up emotion and it fills my heart with love. Keeping an … (23 comments)

Author: Patricia Feager, 1/30/2018
Profile of Tammy Lankford,
Tammy was born and raised in Putnam County which is one of counties that borders Lake Sinclair in Georgia. Parents should know that one day their children will grow up and leave them, but they never really leave a place they love. Part of what they learn, they take with them, and teach others new skills. Tammy learned to follow her parent’s example. She learned survival skills, such as, how to problem solve, discipline, patience, and self-respect. Tammy never settles for less.
A long, long time ago, she decided it is important to know about relationships without depending … (21 comments)

AUTHOR: PATRICIA FEAGER, 1/26/2018
OUR PAST IS OUR PRESENT
TRUE STORY
I thought a lot lately about what makes ActiveRain so unique. I can sum it up in one word: Membership. When you think about it, members have written more than a million (perhaps a billion) words and shared so much more than just real estate news. These are personal blog stories and life experiences of REAL PEOPLE. This is not fiction. It is a compilation of events, news stories, information, education, inspiration, and articles by people in the Real Estate Industry who have lived and some who have died. Their words are now … (41 comments)

patricia feager: Moving On? "Every Walk Is A Sort of Crusade"
- 01/21/18 07:55 AM
Author: Patricia Feager 1/21/2017
"Every walk is a sort of crusade" --- Thoreau
LIFE'S JOURNEY
When we are young we have hopes and dreams. Every new step is a discovery into a new world. It is this stage of life when perceptions are formed. Some things are imaginary; some things are real.
IMAGINARY⇒
REAL ⇒
PERCEPTIONS ABOUT REAL ESTATE
Perceptions change over time. Consumers are often led to believe something that isn't true. In Real Estate, it is fun to take a journey on the Internet or Social Media to look at houses and form possibilities of where you would like to live or if you are a seller … (14 comments)

patricia feager: Surviving the Winter Blues in Flower Mound, TX
- 01/17/18 12:13 PM
Author: Patricia Feager, 1/17/18
FROM A BIRD'S EYE POINT OF VIEW
Just like people's eating habits change in winter, bird diets do too! In order to survive without insects and berries, birds depend on what's available. A little help from the humans goes a long way to ensure survival of our fine feathered friends. Days are shorter. Nights longer. In the cold of winter, things go dormant. Birds don't just get to shop at Walmart's or Pet Stores, or prop their feet up in front of a cozy fireplace. Nor do they get to stock up like a squirrel. What do birds need … (18 comments)

patricia feager: Lessons on Leadership - Only the Brave
- 01/09/18 06:11 PM
Author: Patricia Feager, REALTOR®
Last night, I received a pass for a free screening for "Only the Brave." It was a private viewing and I thought I'd share some insights I gained from this tear-jerker movie that occurred on and before June 30, 2013.
This is the true story about the first Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, AZ. Though tragic and heart-breaking, I left the theater focusing on Leadership. I highly recommend everyone see the movie. Not to give away the great performance by actors, or well-written account by Brendan J McDonough, here are some thoughts to … (47 comments)

The guidepost for Best Practices for AR's Community Guidelines has been passed down through the ages.

patricia feager: Are You Stripping & Causing Embarrassment?
- 01/06/18 02:08 AM
Author: Patricia Feager, REALTOR®
Communication speaks for itself. You're either clear or you are not. Sending Email and Text strips the way you speak. It is all about the tone and grammar counts too. Brevity causes blunders and mistakes. Seriously, are you stripping and causing embarrassment? Even if you think you are the best, it is what other people think and how you come across to others that really makes a difference. Perception makes you acceptable, rude, or looking stupid.
ISSUES WITH EMAIL & TEXT
When words are stripped down it is easy to misinterpret messages. Documentation may or may not be urgent but … (15 comments)

patricia feager: It's A Wonderful Life

Prose by Patricia Feager, REALTOR®
12/30/2017 - DFW FINE PROPERTIES
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
If you woke up breathing this morning,
stood on your feet and had something to eat today,
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
If you brushed your teeth,
had something to drink and went to the bathroom,
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
If you have shoes without holes,
a blanket to keep you warm and you're not living in the dark,
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
If you can recall having something to smile about,
had someone to love and learned to forgive,
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
If you had someone to talk to today,
felt emotion in a good way and didn't hurt anyone,
IT'S A WONDERFUL … (34 comments)

Be though the rainbow in the storm of life.
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow
with prophetic ray. --- Lord Byron
I love taking photographs of places I go and things that I see. This shot was taken with me standing on the top of a cliff looking through the pine trees in Montana in September, 2017. Wildfires were burning at the time but in this brief moment, I smelled the pine. Clouds with threats of rain were welcoming. Yes! In the middle of nowhere, I was participating in the rain dance, hoping for … (18 comments)

patricia feager: Simple Gifts For the Holiday
- 12/09/17 08:28 AM
BY PATRICIA FEAGER
REALTOR® - DFW FINE PROPERTIES
SMILE
Give the gift of smiling and acknowledge people when you meet them in passing. A warm smile can warm up a heart. Some people need it desperately. Don't be offended if the person doesn't smile back. Gifts are meant to give without expecting anything back in return.
DONATE
Giving away unwanted stuff is nice to do. But! Wouldn't it be better yet to purchase something new and give it away to children in the hospital or safe places for people who are homeless or homes for abused women?
SKILL
Just about every neighborhood has a house where there is a … (39 comments)

DALLAS FORT WORTH - REAL ESTATE AGENT WITH DFW FINE PROPERTIES
The most memorable Christmas holiday for me was in December, 1973. Due to pregnancy complications, my daughter and I weren’t released from the hospital until 10 days later, on the 24th day of December. I was thankful for my neighbor who gave us his car to drive to the hospital in time for her to be born and for letting us have his car to come home from the hospital. Winter and cars in Chicago can be unpredictable, just like the birth of a baby. A miracle is … (55 comments)
