What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-August 12 to August 18, 2018.

 

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 or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

alan mayAugust 12: Alan May    Who moved my rules?

Proof again that you can learn something every day!  

 

 

candice donofrioCandice A. Donofrio Fear, Loathing, and TERROR (in audit land)!

Candice has a way of telling her story that makes us laugh, smile, and shake our heads in agreement. It's also a gentle warning!

 

lise howeAugust 13: Lise Howe WD-40 A Lifesaver Yesterday! You Should Always Have a Can on Hand.

We always have several cans at home but what a good reason to carry one in your car!

 

john henryAugust 14: John Henry How a Facelift can improve Marketability of older product or "new" homes.

When I read John's post, several homes I've seen came into mind. If you have one of those homes that but for the elevation or exterior could be very marketable, read on!

 

ron and alexandra seigelAugust 15: Ron and Alexandra Seigel When It comes to Villains on Stamps, Magic is In the Details.

This is so important. Be aware of how your message may be received!

 

 

sally and david hansonAugust 16: Sally and David Hanson The Lender Requires..."Claimed the Selling Agent."

This is what I mean that you can learn something here every day. Excluded? Conveys? Very enlightening.

 

paul peckAugust 17: Paul Peck Video: How to skim coat a wall after drywall repairs-DIY drywall tips

In so many of my staging consultations, I've suggested that my clients remove a mirror (or several.) Paul has done an excellent video for this and he has others!

 

doug dawesAugust 18: Doug Dawes Do You Know...

I think for the most part we do, but we need to be reminded!!!

 

 

women of westchesterWomen of Westchester Working Together What do mom bloggers blog about?

Consider this when you're determining the topics and tone of your blog. Just a thought.

Thank you Kathy Streib we seldom accept things as "the gospel of real estate" when we know the accepted practice to be different.  Best to keep an open mind rather than be blind !  Enjoy your Sunday !

Well, reading these blogs will take me a while. Or, I could go down the hill for coffee. The internet will still be here later. :)

OH gosh, LOL Kathy.  I didn't think anyone was reading that blog.  I was just creating a backlink article for a friend/client.  Anyway, we should catch up soon - maybe next week.  I think I'm free most of the week except Tuesday when my dad is getting brain surgery.  And, maybe Weds if my mom needs help picking him up.

Hello Kathy -- we might find these "gems" without your weekly post but it sure wouldn't be as convenient.
