Last Week's Favorites: April 29th - May 6th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH Real Estate AB95346

It was a fun week on Active Rain, and I've assembled a list that will instruct us, make us think, and perhaps even make us laugh a bit.  So here goes.

1.  Gary Woltal: A Surefire Screening Technique To Spot Ideal Clients  Why work with awful people when there are great ones out there!

2.  Richie Alan Naggar:  DOG KISSES WOMAN ON ACTIVERAIN COMMENTER REFUSES TO VISIT HER BLOG  Let's move on with a laugh.

3.  Brenda Spillman:  Every Once in a While, We get to Work With Great People  It's nice to read about Realtors doing it right.

4.  Chris Ann Cleland:  What Makes a Cash Offer So Attractive?  For people who wonder why real money is better, this is the read!

5.  Dorie Dillard:  Fun Facts of Cinco de Mayo for 2012  So it was yesterday.  The info will be handy next year!

6.  Richard and Beth Witt:  All pricing is a matter of supply and demand  It's so simple, yet few of us really get it.

7.  Jeff Pearl:  Virginia Earthquake Caused Radon Levels to Rise  Just another reminder that, wherever we live, checking for radon isn't a bad idea.

8.  Kristen Wheatley:  In The Absence Of Real Marketing, There Is Syndication  I'm a huge fan of syndication and this made me think.

9.  Debbie Gartner:  6 ways to prevent scratches in your hardwood floors  I'll add get the dog a pair of soft soled slippers!  

And 10.  Kristine Ginsberg:  Staging Open Floor Concept Homes: Before/After Photos  Kristine has just wonderful before and after photos.  Here are a few.

That's all for this week.  See you again next Sunday, and blog on!

Hi Pat,  Thanks for including me on the fav's list.  My name is spelled Belinda - not Brenda.  Funny how everyone does that these days.  Nevertheless, I am honored to be featured in your post.  Thank you so much.
