What I Learned This Week At ActiveRain  October 15- October 21, 2017.

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain!  With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment.  It could be something techie, something about Real Estate, about a place or person!  Or it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!



gabe sandersOctober 15: Gabe Sanders   Photos That Grab Attention

Every property has a buyer. Gabe shows how to market your property to that particular buyer, even if the property may not show that well.

 

sheri sperryOctober 16: Sheri Sperry   Photography Challenge-Interior Space and Staging

Sheri’s post and photo show us not just the importance of good photos for your listings. It’s so important to see the room through the eyes of your camera. Look at the difference that Sheri’s skill and experience added to the photo.

 

curtis van carterOctober 17: Curtis Van Carter My view of Hell- the Yountville Napa Valley 2017 Fire, and Living Through It, the finale.

The hurricanes have come and gone and there are the fires in CA. I cannot fathom what it must have been like.

 

gary woltalOctober 18: Gary Woltal Fall New Season Resolution for Thinking.

It's interesting that we teach our youth how to kick or hit balls and just enough to get them into college but what about how to think? Many certainly aren't learning it from adults.

 

kimo stowellKimo Stowell It's Baack! The 4th Annual Haunted Masquerade & Costume Ball!

I hope that you will consider taking part in Kimo's fun Halloween Ball. He puts so much work into this...let's show him our support. If you think you can't do it...go to Sharon Tara 's posts. There's an easy tutorial.

 

 

elva branson leeOctober 19: Elva Branson-Lee Making a Memory from a Listing Photo

What a thoughtful idea! It would be easy to do and will show that you care!

 

sharon taraOctober 20: Sharon Tara Photo Editing Tutorials for Making Halloween Photos

Sharon makes excellent tutorials that are easy to follow. If you want to have some fun with your photos, I'd encourage to take the time to watch the tutorials.

 

william feela October 21: William Feela How often do you remember?

What a sweet and thoughtful post. William makes an excellent point.  

 





Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!
