Last Week's Favorites: September 25th - October 1st

Last week, I learned how to cope with my almost perfect guy's love for listening to Right Wing Talk Radio while tooling down the highway. He got me some adorable pink ear plugs, which I slipped into my ears while blogging on my I-Pad. So I got to read a whole lot of posts. Here are my favorites:

1. Marte Cliff: "Hey You Guys!!" - a Marketing Mistake! This just never occurred to me, and it should have by now!

2. Richie Alan Naggar: PEARLS FOR THE SOUL BOOK IS TO BE SIPPED NOT GULPED SAYS AUTHOR I'm sipping.

3. Richard Yates: RE-BLOGGING and BEYOND This is a nice little dissertation on the art of the re-blog - something I'm trying to do more of.

4. Norma Toering: What Luxury Home Buyers Want If anyone has the answer it this question, it's our Norma!

5. Carla Muss Jacobs: Thinking About Buying a Home in Portland . . . Think About Using a Portland Buyers Agent I like Carla's business model.

6. Kristine Ginsberg: Turning Photos into Framed Art by a Morris County, NJ Home Stager Great ideas using all of Kristine's talents.

7. Michael Caruso: How one dumb post killed the real estate deal! This was like a thump on the head! One more thing to share with our clients.

8. Brenda Mullen: Selling Your San Antonio Texas Home-Marketing Matters A reminder that price is only one part of the equation.

9. Carl & Ceil Winters: Senior Citizens & Texting This is a "must read" for all of you geezer bloggers out there.

10. Donna Harris: Does Your Cell Phone Run Your Life - Forgetting it at Home This one totally hit home for me!

11. Alan May: Do you have the Realtor® Gene? Um. Can a single one of us answer "No" to this one! I sure can't. It's a fun read.

12: Ken Goodfellow: 15 Tips to be a Self Made Millionaire Ken is a new blogger with some old advice that good to hear as often as possible.

13. Praful Thakkar: 100,000 POINTS - Just From COMMENTS! The benefits of commenting on other bloggers' posts can't be highlighted often enough.

14. Gary Woltal: Are You Close To Being A Fishbowl With Your Internet Presence? Good question, Gary! And even Michelle Obama is doing her own shopping lately.

And 15. Ed Silva: Applying Common Sense to a Low Ball Offer Ed does a great job with this one, from both sides of the deal.

And that's all for this week! And you know what? There's no place like home!

Hi Pat, Thank you for including me in this week's post. I always find some gems that I missed. As for the inspiration that generated the post, we actually got the deal to work and got the buyer to come up considerably.
