Well, my switch from AR outside blog to WP is complete, thanks to your help Diane. I NEVER understood the point system at AR or why anyone would care about them. Can the points pay my mortgage? I think agents need to realize that AR is great for networking and sharing with peers, but if you want to reach consumers you need to control your content and make sure that said content is pertinent to the consumer.

Thanks for the update!

I will have to say that the reason I like having a self-hosted WordPress blog is because of my issue with control. I do also have a posterous account, in addition to my AR account, but have serious trust issues with any third party system. In other words, no matter what it was, I would have a plan B because you never know when the rules are going to change.

That’s so true, what you say about the business thing – and anytime someone tacks the word “just” on there that’s the second red flag going up.
But seriously, I have to develop some kind of badge or point system. How can intangibles be so damned motivating?

Once again I get my real estate scoop from the smiling girl in Mass. great points Di, especially about things we create being personal. It’s been my experience that when someone tells you that something is “just business” it means they’re about to do something unpleasant to you , and they need to distance themselves first.
BTW how many points do I get for commenting here?

For me the issue is control. Always has been, always will be. Well, that and ROI – I am always looking for the most bang for my buck. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone tried to sell me something saying, “Just one closing will pay for the [whatever it is].” Me, I am always the one on the “Free” side of a Freemium offering.

But I also understand companies trying to stay afloat. I was researching newly formed companies the other day, and it is amazing how many go under in a few years.

Quite a stir going on re Jay, AR, etc. I visit and post on AR occasionally now, but am always torn because (thank goodness) of my own websites.

Enjoyed this post!!

Comment on Full disclosure by Diane

That’s why I am glad that our state is one that does not require disclosure. It’s hard enough describing concrete problems to everyone’s satisfaction!

I can’t imagine how you would fulfill the obligation to disclose that a house is haunted — meaning, how would you know? I guess I’m asking…”Who you gonna call?”

What if you think it’s haunted and the buyer wants a haunted house, then finds that after they move in that there really aren’t ghosts in there? I wonder if there have been lawsuits claiming fraud when that has happened…?

Comment on Positive Thinking by Diane

Diane — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:25:30 +0000

I didn’t see it come through, so thanks for reposting.

Pain and suffering are real, and shouting at a mirror won’t change that – agreed. Good times are temporary as well, and if you pin where you are internally on external factors you will be in for a roller-coaster ride.

I find that I have a tendency to board that roller coaster. If I don’t hold myself in check I find that my emotions go all over the place.

This video posting was not meant to suggest that as a country we are not truly going through a hard time.

I posted this comment before but I am not sure it made it through. If so, please feel free to delete the duplicate:

While I agree there is great power in positive thinking, I also know that pain and suffering are real and nothing to be ashamed of. When I am suffering, whether mentally, emotionally, or physically, I try to accept it for what it is and go with the flow. Afterall, like everything else, it’s temporary. This too shall pass.

Knowing Peter’s mom as I do, I am certain that he has already ascribed to the substance over style argument (even if he won’t admit it for years). I was raised that way and am still so frugal about so many things that people probably think I am a bit nutty. Love when you share your smarts on us Di!
