probate realtor: Welcome to North Carolina - 10/26/25 12:44 PM
Before I get started, I must say that Debe’s presentation was captivating.  I am so impressed with the breadth and depth of what she shared about North Carolina! 
There is no way I can choose just one thing or compare it to California.  For the homework assignment, I’ve chosen to highlight many of the facts Debe Maxwell, CRS shared.  
"157 people every day are coming into Charlotte."  
The Gray squirrel is the State Mammal. 
The Sweet Potato is the State Vegetable – no surprise because the State is the Nation’s #1 producer of sweet potatoes.

The homework assignment for week 3 of the ActiveRain Tuesday Zoom Challenge is to post about how we would change our diet, adapting to what we learned about the Mediterranean Diet. 
Nothing new for me, and nothing I would change to adapt to what I learned about the Mediterranean Diet during the Zoom meeting on October 14, 2025.  
No way on God’s Green Earth will I ever eat sardines. Period! 
I also do not consume any kind of meat or fish.

probate realtor: My Dream Home Listing | Tactics to Sell in a Down Market - 10/11/25 12:01 PM
When I got clarity on the week two (October 7, 2025) Zoom Challenge “homework” to write a post about our dream home listing and list the five (5) tactics we would use to get the home sold in a “down market” I had to face the fact that I have never dreamed of listing any particular type of home or dreamed of listing a home at a specific price point.

Dream Home Listing vs Dream ClientMy Dream Home Listing is the home I list with my Dream Client.  It’s all about the people I am honored to work with in any market.

probate realtor: Probate Real Estate Services | Podcast With Kathleen Daniels - 10/04/25 12:41 PM
I am neither a podcaster nor a would-be podcaster.  This post is to complete an ActiveRain Tuesday Zoom Challenge homework assignment for September 30, 2025.  
Thank you Bob "RealMan" Timm for your willingness to share your podcasting experience with us during week one of the challenge!  
The challenge is to write a minimum of 250-word post explaining what we would do if we hosted our own podcast. 
My first thought was to podcast about reasons why ActiveRain members should NEVER sing Happy Birthday during a Zoom call.  Kathy Streib - Please accept our collective apology for causing you to endure such pain on … (14 comments)

probate realtor: Probate Realtor Kathleen Daniels | Grateful for Active Rain - 11/03/24 08:47 AM
It is that time of year, November, when we celebrate Thanksgiving.
What do we serve on Thanksgiving?
For me, as I believe is the case with all of my Active Rain friends, Gratitude is embraced and practiced Every. Single. Day. Perhaps affinity creates incredibly special and close friendships with people we have not met in person.
My  Active Rain friends know that our conversations are confidential. That level of trust is a rare find in the world today yet somehow, I have found it on the Internet (of all places) in the Active Rain Community.
I’ve had phone conversations with  Active Rain friends that lasted … (35 comments)
