Last Weeks Favorites: September 11th - 18th

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

This is another edition of Last Week's Favorites written on the road.  We're in a sweet little town in southern Pennsylvania about to leave for the Flight 93 Memorial, a few miles away.  That will make an interesting post for later in the day.  But here goes for this one:

1.  Paula Hamilton:  A LOCALISM POST FROM AFAR!  Paula's photos were just amazing with this one, and the girl clearly knows how to vacation - a lost art for many of us.

2.  Evelyn Kennedy:  ALAMEDA NEIGHBORHOODS - THE FERNSIDE  It's sort of unusual for me to include neighborhood posts, but this one makes me want to move.

3.  Erica Ramus Think You Have a Deal? Maybe Not!  An important lesson I learned at another agent's expense. 

4.  Sharon Tara:  Want To Sell Your House? Think "Perfect Crime"  This is a delightful post that puts a new twist on old sage advice.

5.  Andrea SweidlerA mooo-ving tribute to Pat Kennedy!  This would have made the list without my name in the title.  I adore cows!

6.  Mike Cooper:  My Basic Philosophy In Life - Not Real Estate Specific  Here are some wise words from my new favorite blogger.

7.  Maria Morton:  Selling A House Is Like Making An Omelet  Hmm.  Once you crack open that egg, you can't put it back in the shell!

8.  Mitchell Hall:  Wordless Wednesday: Brownstones  If you love New York, you'll love Mitch's wonderful Localism posts.  I sure do.

9.  Tni LeBlancSecret Shoppers & Secret Sellers in Today’s Real Estate Market  A curious post about goofy folks!

10.  Jerry Newman: San Antonio's Premier Flea Market - Traders Village  Now here is a different kind of flea market!  Sounds fun.

And that's all for this week.  I'll be back next Sunday, coming from beautiful downtown Topeka High School.  Have a great week!
