In Memoriam:  Laraine Shape "Home Not Selling Try SELLABREX . . ." This post is about the passing of the Cincinnati Real Estate Lady, Laraine Shape whom I met right here on ActiveRain.  Fellow AR colleague, Bill Spears, let me know. For the old timers, you may recall Laraine's alter-ego 'Ralph" -- Ralph The Real Estate Dog I met her, by way of Ralph, and found Laraine's humor and writing style to be unique and refreshing.  In getting to know her, she was the type of person not afraid or intimidated to speak out.  She did not like the psychiatric profession.  Not one bit.  Her blog Psych-Times.com is a parody site and it's brilliant.  She wasn't afraid to voice her disdain AND sell real estate AND bake.   How many of us are hesitant to voice an opinion?  Not only voice an opinion but put... 02/27/2015
