Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain March 22 to  March 28, 2026

  

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

 

 

JohnMarch 22:  John Palmer    What Most AI Tools Get Wrong About Real Estate Listings 

Please welcome John to ActiveRain!  We got to “meet” John at our last Zoom Call. If you’re learning about AI, this is a good place to start. 
**NOTE: John will be our presenter this Tuesday at our ZOOM CALL. You don't want to miss this

 


WillMarch 23:  Will Fenton   Why Air Samples Alone Are Not Enough When Buying a Home  

Let’s welcome Will to ActiveRain!  If you have mold in your area (and who doesn’t?), you’ll want to read this.

 

 

PatriciaPatricia Feager    If You Had To Do It All Again, Would You?

What would your answer be??

 

 

 

Kelly March 24:  Kelly McGovern     Doomscrolling

Like others, I’d never heard of this term, however it is very descriptive of what many do. 

 

 

HannahHannah Williams     Spring Into Action: Why Closets Are Secrets To Selling Your Home 

Hannah’s right…sellers need to pay attention to their closets. 

 

RozaMarch 26:  Roza Chadova     Is AI Replacing Real Estate Agents… or Just Making Us Better?

Let’s welcome Roza to ActiveRain!   Head to her post because she’d like to know if you’re using AI in your business.

 

 

 

WandaMarch 27:  Wanda Kubat-Nerdin   Altocumulus Standing Lenticular Clouds - Say what?! 

These are amazing pictures and Wanda included an explanation!  I asked Larry if he had heard of them from his flying days...and he had!

 

DebeDebe Maxwell    My Dear Friend Missy Caulk: The Impact She Made on All of Us 

This is a beautiful tribute to the late Missy Caulk. It also illustrates what this community is all about. 

 

 

RobertRobert Siciliano     The Biological Mandate for The Strategic Human Firewall™

I’d encourage you to read this and the link Robert provided in the post. It’s not enough to have your employees watch a video anymore. The firewall needs to expand to us.

 

PaddyPaddy Deighan  Not a Good Idea to Allow AI to Replace Human Judgment 

Paddy got us started with AI generated graphics and pictures.

Good morning. I have some extra time this morning and was able to review all of these. A few I had already read, but good to catch up on the ones I missed.

Leanne Smith I read your post about bluejeans and boots and can related. Before I fell in love with leggings, I lived in jeans and cowboy boats here in the winter.

Good to read we are somewhat kindred spirits. I don't wear leggings as they feel too tight and for me uncomfortable. Thanks for reading my post.

Hello Kathy Streib - I managed to read two of your picks this week.  Things have been crazy in my home with a massive construction project that, to say the least, is loud and distracting.  I am enjoying some peace and quiet over the weekend.  

Thank you for all that you do for the AR Community.

Kathy Streib

Thank you Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Real Estate Svcs. And I appreciate you!   I cannot imagine what it must be like with all of the construction going on. It seems like it's been more than a month.

Kathy Streib What a spectacular choice of posts this week!  For some reason, my follow of you was disconnected. It does happen, I suppose. I have been following you for years and saw it was unchecked - Oh dear me, we cannot have that.

Thank You so much for the honored Feature
