Education & Training with Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals.

"Sometimes you deserve a second chance, not because you weren't fabulous the first time but because the timing and circumstances weren't quite right. You just got overlooked."

Does getting Featured here in The Rain sometimes feel like a roll of the dice? Not anymore. I'm always open to member suggestions on posts that should be Featured but somehow got missed.

Enjoy this week's selections:

I'm Thankful For What I've Learned From Other Agents
By: Jeff Dowler
"Whether the agents are terrific, average, or incompetent, there is something to learn."

"Large Car Pork" - Bacon & Bloopers - MLS Humor
By: Gwen Banta
"Tis the season...so I wanted to share the gift of holiday laughter."

Getting older is not for the faint-hearted
By: Joe Pryor
"My 70th birthday is rapidly approaching and let's hope that with age comes wisdom"

The "New Car Smell" is Gone From Online Marketing
By: Joe Wallace
"That headline was the snarkiest thing I could think of..."

5 Tools You Should Provide For Your Rental Properties
By: Corey Martin
"Like every landlord, you hope that the tenant will care for the property as you have. Surely you want to do anything that might make it easier for tenants to do so."

And, now that we're in December, I encourage you to check back on the November Challenges and read as many entries as you have time for. There's lots of good stuff in each one. The AR members are a very special group.

Hi Brian England . When I say Featured I usually mean by the AR Big Dogs. LOL But, as you say, there are various ways to get features... through groups and or a weekly series like mine or Kathy Streib's "What I Learned This Week On ActiveRain". All that really matters, though, is that your prospects and clients are finding your blog. Have a great weekend.

Well, I don't provide what the AR Big Dogs want to see to be featured, apparently, haha.

I appreciate your feature. Monday is my birthday and hopefully the weather in Atlanta won't keep me from getting to Florida to celebrate with my wife and a walk by the ocean.
