All Neighbors in Viroqua, WI
Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
So here's the deal... I decided to work on my 2009 budget and my yearly business plan. With my nose deep into my plan; I had to go retrieve a file from our storage area. Upon entering that room, it hit me. The enormous amount files... They plainly have now outgrown the available storage area and are overflowing from the file cabinets, extra cardboard files boxes and in some cases table tops. They needed, again, to be downsized. Begging the unanswered questions... to shred or to burn... in someones wood stove?
listed, expired unsold as the housing market experience a melt down across the country. In some cases the Sellers of these unsold homes, still preferred to blame their agent for the home not selling. In truth some agents may be at fault for having poor marketing skills. However more often than not, the real reason was pricing, as sellers had to struggle and come to terms with the reality that home prices were dropping and fast. There are some agents out there that will tell you what you want to hear to get the listing, which that is called "Buying a Listing". Careful selection of an agent is more critical now than ever before. Today homes are in tougher competition and they need to be in tip top condition, you need an agent who specialized in the area your home is in and one who is a skilled marketer that can correctly price your property. If a home is overpriced it will languish unsold on the market and become stale in the buyer's eye.
The idea of burning wood for a primary heating source was once completely foreign to me. I can recall many years ago when my husband and I first moved to Wisconsin, we planned to live off the grid. We built a bermed home; with the intentions of heating it with wood we would cut ourselves. Freeing us from energy costs by installing many passive solar systems into our home was the goal of that time. As it turned out the house was extremely efficient, but heating with wood was not a real joy. It was a lot of physical work to "Make Wood". The task of using a chain saw to cut the trees down, the work of tossing chucks of logs into a wagon and hauling it down the hill to the shed was brutal. It was backbreaking labor, splitting the whole pile was more than I could endure. It was then, that I first learned as an X-city girl, that old country saying... "If you heat with wood you'll heat yourself twice". That was very true... a few years later we installed a gas furnace thus ending my "Wood Making" career.

"Tis the Season to be Merry"... As Christmas Day draws nearer and the year begins to wind down, it is time once again to reflect upon the past years business of 2008. I would have to say 2008 has been a more challenging and demanding year than any other year I can actually recall. For most of the year we in the housing industry have had to listening to the entire news media, filled daily with bad news about failed banks, home foreclosures and now the Auto industry woes; we can only hope that 2009 will be better. We have watched home prices drop and worked longer hours, daily to find buyers for our listings and service our buyer clients. Perhaps a little silver lining in all these dark clouds will be many families will be drawn closer together over the holidays with less emphasis on material things and more emphasis on caring and being there for each other.
