The moderator of the call was Eileen Burns, and she opened with detail on the 3 counties within her market. As there are over 6,000,00 people it is just beyond reasonable to expect to cover it.
There are 5 MLS systems that work listings, and the primary board is better than an hour away. As she is a commercial broker she can cover the entire state, but the logistics are not reasonable.

Jim Paulson Maximizing Credit Card Bonuses
The Zoom call this week was presented by Jim Paulson, and it was about his experiences with using credit cards for more than just an easy way to make a purchase.

As many more responsible people will do, he had no credit cards and chose to pay his … (14 comments)

Lauren Williams Working With Hoarders
The call was labeled as working with hoarders and as Lauren Williams started her presentation it was apparent that yes, it was about people that collect, but it really morphed into something far greater.

Knowing how to identify people that have a genuine illness and the right way to assist them is essential and the fix is not just to clean out the place.
Lauren Williams offered that she has taken better than 60 hours of professional training in order to recognize and treat … (21 comments)

Craig Daniels: Improving Your Digital Footprint
The Zoom call of 11.29 was another fine presentation by AR member Craig Daniels. It wasn't his first call and hopefully it won't be his last.
By way of offering imagery that was very basic, he showed dinosaur tracks that would be best appreciated by any paleontologist. He then showed tracks that were under water for years and were far larger and better defined. His efforts were to show, that while both sets of tracks can be appealing, the larger, better-defined set of tracks needed less effort to be appreciated. This was the starting point of his … (20 comments)
