Margaret, a very nice summary post, incorporating some excellent articles as a resource for your clients, all in one place.

MARGARET - This is outstanding.  I've featured it in Active Rain Addicts.  I have been working on something similar for buyers and the advantages of using a buyer agent for purchasing.  I've missed a few of these, so I'll have to go back and check them out.  Nice use of graphics.

Good Morning Margaret,
You certainly have put together an eyecatching and appealing summary to your series which buyers certainly will find informative and helpful. 

I'd like to get a glimpse into your brain and see how it works.....you come up with such good ideas.:0)

I love the graphics you've chosen - very effective.  Thanks.

I love the fish waiting for the worm to get bigger.  What a perfect comparison of what is going on.

Posted by Karen Gentry>>Charlottesville, Virginia Real Estate Professional (RE/MAX Excellence-Charlottesville VA) over 3 years ago

Brian - Thank you.  This is apparently working, since I'm generating more seller leads and when I refer them to these posts, they've already read them!

Adam - Thanks for featuring this in the Addicts group, on of my favorites!

Cynthia - That Relocation Package Contest has been so effective, with a summary post of everything related, so I made a list of other series to create.  This was #1, and I have more in progress.  I actually wrote the entire series over a weekend, so they were ready to post in advance using my best friend, Blogjet.

Hope - I thought the cartoon approach would lighten up this serious business!

Karen - I love that, too, and I'm so grateful that Richard and Gary were willing to let me use it.

Great summary, Margaret. I always envy the posts that aren't easy for my mentality.

This post takes my breath away. You are so creative in your writing and I hope to reach this level one day.
