Maryland ActiveRain MeetUp Hosted By Cheryl Ritchie

There were nine of us who met in Chesapeake Beach at Cheryl's lovely home. What a gracious host. The food was abundant with homemade potato salad, cabbage with smoked turkey, homemade beans and luscious mango and pineapple. The house was warm with a beautiful fire and all the fixings were ready for us to make wreaths.

 It was not easy interrupting the lively conversation to get a group picture

Posed below on the fireplace hearth-

Margaret Rome, Cheryl Ritchie, Cindy Jones, Pat Kennedy, Jan, Steven Bachman and Rich Iarossi. Gail Harris was taking the picture.

 

Cheryl is peeking through my wreath  but she did all the hard work getting the grape vines together. Jan, Pat and Cindy are behind Jan's masterpiece. 

TLH and Steven are listening to the stimulating conversation.

Thank you Cheryl for your wonderful hospitality. You made us all feel so welcome.

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.”..''
