Last Week's Favorites: April 10th-17th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

Well, with Tax Day looming, some of us actually had time to blog.  We must have a few compulsive early filers in our group!  So here are the posts that I chose for whatever reason among last week's"

1.  Carol Rodda: Having Contageous Enthusiasm  I liked this one, and not just because I like pickles.  I needed to connect with enthusiasm last week!  Passion, too.

2.  Laura Giannotta: NAR®, Political Survival & My 2¢  Laura puts in her two cents over our pending dues increase. 

3.  Jeff Dowler: 10 Things Sellers Don't Like  Ah!  This list will be very familiar to all of us!  When I'm a seller, I won't like these either!

4.  Rita Burke: 8 Tips to become a Better Blogger - Writer, Fast and Furious!  This is a good one for newbies and oldies alike.

5.  Sharon Lee: All you need is nothing  This one struck a nerve for me this week as I struggled to get rid of a lot of stuff.  Thanks, Sharon!

6.  Don Rogers: Monday Morning Motivation.........  This one has a quote that is just so about real estate!

7.  Alan May: Monday, Monday  OK, Alan!  I've had that song in my brain all week, so I have to include this one on my list! 

8.  Jay Markanich: Can You Identify Poison Ivy When You See It?  If there is a must read this week, here it is! 

9.  Marilyn Boudreaux: Lake Charles Realtor Marilyn Boudreaux Tells it Like it Like it is  This is a good job of making the local market point.

10.  Steven Smith: Termites, Termites Everywhere  This has a gross video that your favorite 9-year old boy will love.

11.  Donald Hester: Wenatchee, Chelan and Okanogan Home Inspection- "Too hot to handle"  Before you pull out your granite counters, read this.

12.  Stacey Smith: Dear House: Consider This is My Resignation...  It's like one of those letters you wrote to an old sweetie and never sent!

13.  Hannah Williams: Friday's Foto: Ms Dove Phillys New Neighbor 19114  This is a feel good photo!  I was impressed.

14.  Cindy Jones: Speehless Sundays-Retirement Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be  This is a beautiful photo with a message! 

15.  Barbara Todaro: How Often Do You Get Lucky??? Be Honest!!!  This is another blog with a message - an important one!

So with this, I am going to head for an Open House where I am hoping to get lucky!  Very lucky!  I'm bringing St. Anthony along to help out, along with a bunch of information on the neighborhood market activity and some other good stuff.  See you back here next Sunday!

I read that article that Marilyn wrote and found the video to be brilliant.  I really like posts like this as they showcase the "best of the best".
