It's another sunny Sunday morning here in our nation's capital, and time for another list of interesting posts I found over the last week. So here goes!

Who Ya Gonna Call? Stress Buster: Carol Williams* 

By Carol Williams Carol gives us all hints about how to present ourselves as a client's Easy Button.

Ask An Ambassador: Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes 

By Liz and Bill Spear This was a fun read for me, as I am becoming far more appreciative of honey bees than ever before – and the people who create homes for them.

Here Come the Pandas! Get Ready DC! 

By Lise Howe This will be exciting! I think the pandas are just about the coolest creatures at the National Zoo, and we missed the panda family that moved back to China last year.

The Whit Sisters Hold an Open House Event 

By Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! Don’t start to read this one until you have swallowed every drop of coffee in your mouth, or it will be spattered on your computer screen!

The Most Unrealistic Expectation In Real Estate 

By Thomas J. Nelson  I agree with much of this, but I think agents who virtually never answer their phones are making a big mistake.

3rd Carlsbad Art Wall for 2024 

By Jeff Dowler, CRS This mural in Carlsbad made me want a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice! Great mural art adds a lot of character to any community.

Another Scary AI Example 

By Paddy Deighan MBA JD PhD Oh no! This is not good. This means my rule of never ever replying to schemes for getting easy money is a good one.

 

Are you thinking about building an Accessory Dwelling Unit in Menifee?

By Denise Gentile What a great idea! ADUs are becoming more common here in the DC area, but nobody thought of getting pre-approved plans.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MOVE TO NORTHERN VIRGINIA! 

By Dan Rochon  Really? This post is a first. But I have to say that these are all reasons I decided to stay in DC!

7 Fresh Reasons why your property won't sell! 

By Alan May  This wasn’t done last week, but I just found it and it’s so on point! And of course, it showcases Alan' timeless wit.

Now it's time to head out for the local farmer's market for this week's food shop. Hope you all have a great week, and I'll see you next Sunday.  Blog on!

Wow, thank you for the feature! I didn't know about this recap post. I see Carol Williams and Kathy Streib's post weekly, this is great. I will plan to pop by more often Patricia because I find these lists helpful in seeing what I missed! Including my own post 😂
