What is the Only Good Thing About a Spamming Comment?

                                           spam comment

 

 You may wonder if anything is good about a spamming comment. Occasionally there is a "bad" comment or a blatant commercial on an old post. The good thing ...it brings that former post back to life. It may be a post you had forgotten about. It gives you a chance to revisit.

It is actually fun to go back and read some older posts... a kind of reminiscing.  An advertisement brought me back to one  of my favorite  posts...My Best Close Ever and Forever 

                                 Spam Can Be Positive. And now you see how.

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market?

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market?

Nope. Not if your sellers have photos plus a Baltimore Sunpaper article  written in 2006.

The best sellers are mine! I love partnering to get my homes sold. Interviewing the owners, during a listing appointment or a brainstorming session after the home is on the market, can produce new ideas like....

Promoting Baltimore County's Newest Historic District ...Fieldstone  or highlighting the 10 Reasons to Live at 8930 Church Lane 21133 Baltimore, MD

 

Baltimore winters are not an ideal time to show off  the magnificence of landscaping, ponds and gardens. So the question is:

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market? Nope!

Not if your sellers have a Baltimore Sunpaper article  written in 2006.

''Officer and a gardener  By NANCY TAYLOR ROBSON/SPECIAL TO THE SUN

IT'S EASY TO TELL WHICH home in the historic Fieldstone community of Randallstown belongs to master gardener Jimmy Waites. Inside his shaded front lawn, hemmed in by mixed viburnum, two huge maples are ringed with hostas. Wooden trellises spaced along one edge of the property frame weigela, Leatherleaf Mahonia (Mahonia bealei) and azalea. Opposite, a meandering bed of shade-lovers leads you up the driveway to an iron arch at the front walk that is covered with rose-and-blond-bloomed honeysuckle "Gold Flame" (Lonicera x heckrottii). A few scarlet salvias highlight a curve along the drive.

Waites appreciates symbolism, but is more interested in what gardens offer the senses, including the ear. He loves the sound of water and has several fountains burbling quietly throughout the space. He has also hidden a speaker and plays -- very softly -- bird-call tapes (Canada geese for example) to add to the lively conversations among the many songbirds that live there.

Not surprisingly, his property is a certified wildlife habitat. Bullfrogs "gullump" in his pond. Hummingbirds zip through the red bee balm (Monarda didyma cardinalis). His butterfly bush (Buddleia) arbor draws hundreds of butterflies that land on him when he walks through. There are squirrels and rabbits and chipmunks.  "I once looked out and there was a red fox lying down by the koi pond," he says.

But the quarter-acre garden isn't just for critters. He places focal points -- statuary, ornaments, urns, gates -- to lead visitors through every portion of this mini-wonderland. The garden is a flowing series of "rooms," each with its own spot from which to admire the view.''

Strategic Efficiency: It’s Waiting in the Cloud

 

 

 

 

 Quoted by Cheryl:

"Cheryl Ritchie, ABR, CRS – associate broker – RE/MAX 100 – Dunkirk, Md.

Cheryl Ritchie leaned heavily on Apple Tech Support to upgrade her Mobile Me account to the iCloud service and make it fully functional on her iPad, iPhone, and PC. (Read her recent blog post about this.) Utilizing iCloud will ensure work documents and photos are synced on whatever hardware she’s using.

That’s just one component of her cloud strategy. Ritchie also uses Evernote for saving Web clippings, creating to-do lists, and managing projects. “It’s almost replaced Word for me,” she says.

Ritchie’s Dropbox account allows her to organize and share files; DocuSign handles contract signings, and she’s been beta-testing the latest version of Top Producer, which she’ll rely on for contact management. Once she adds QuickBooks to her cloud, she says she’ll have everything she needs.

“The real benefit of working in the cloud is how it sets you free as an agent,” Richie says. “In the past we were confined to a desk in a brick-and-mortar office. Now, with these cloud services, I can be anywhere and have whatever I need on whatever device I am using. It just makes me more efficient. I am finally truly mobile.”..''

Fieldstone Historic Community in Randallstown, Maryland 21133

 

 

*

Fieldstone Historic Section  in  Randalllstown, Maryland

 Fieldstone is a community  of about 80 homes situated in the heart of Randallstown, Maryland 21133. This historic area lies in the Liberty Road Corridor with streets Including Church Lane, McDonogh Road, Blair Road, and Greens Lane.


Historic Fieldstone


The Fieldstone Community dates back to 1891. In 2001 the older section of Fieldstone was designated a Baltimore County Historic District. Today the Fieldstone Community (both Historic and newer section of Fieldstone) is comprised of stately old stone homes, brick capes, colonials and ranchers, as well as some modern construction.

Just a few months ago, I sold a special stone rancher in this area at

  8820 Greens Lane 21133

                                      8820 Greens Lane HomeRome 410-530-2400

Today While waiting to get a quick car wash, there was small lounge set up with a coffee station and all the fixings. This is a really nice touch but...take a look. The coffee pot is plugged in but no coffee, it was in disarray, dirty and not the least bit appealing.

       There is a big difference between Good Service and Good Intentions!
