Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain May 14 to May  20, 2023

  

Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I try to highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

MarteMay 15: Marte Cliff Motivational Monday- Check Your Thinking

Short, sweet, and absolutely true, It never hurts to step back and recheck your thinking.

 

AlanAlan May A breach of trust

Yes, there are agents like this. What would you do?

 

 

DeeMay 16:  Dee Toohey    Hacked Vs Cloned

Dee’s post was featured but it is worth additional exposure. Most of us are on Facebook, and I’ll bet we’ve all had our accounts hacked. Dee has a good suggestion. 

 

JerryMay 18: Jerry Newman The Latest Trends in Real Estate Technology

Whether or not you like some of the new trends in technology...it's here.

 

JoanJoan Cox Throwback Thursday- Emotional Transaction

Joan kept her cool and showed how professional she is. And what a nice surprise from her client.

 

TammyTammy Lankford Can I ask a favor?

This has nothing to do with real estate and everything to do with who we are as a community. Hope you'll say "yes" to her favor.

 

Lorrie Semler, REALTOR® in the Dallas area.                  May 20: Lorrie Semler Get a C.L.U.E. About the House You Are About to Purchase.

If you don't have a clue about C.L.U.E., please read! And if you do know, there's an interesting story.
