The Carnival And An Olympics Theme
The Winter Olympics are coming to our Canadian neighbors to the north. So I give this weeks Consumer-focused real estate blog carnival an Olympics “flavour”.
I even went with an Olympic style judging system. I gave points for the article being fun, well written, ez to read, catchy title, and a unique topic. I gave bonus points for how important the topic was to the consumer and for providing consumer benefit.
I feel like the Russian Ice Scating Judges a few years back where they were accused of unfair scoring.
I thank all submissions. The Olympics give a gold, silver, and bronze and so will I. Thanks to the rest of you who traveled so far to compete.
And the winner of the Gold Medal in this weeks carnival:
Athol Kay: “A Dumpster Is Cheaper Than Selling The House.”
And The Silver Medal:
I award the Silver to Amy L. Fontinelle for her article: Home Inspection Do You Really Need One?
And the Bronze Medal:
Ann O’Connell: What Can A Stager Do For Me - It’s Gorgeous Outside

FADE IN/evil overlord high backed chair center stage facing away from audience. It slowly turns to face the audience and reveals a twisted creation being softly stroked by it’s evil master. Well let me clarify that. He’s both a “master” and “evil”, but not to be confused with being an “evil master” in the sense of being an abusive master of the twisted creation. On the contrary, the obvious affection the evil overlord shows it, only serves as a counterpoint to his menacing presence. But hush now… the master speaks…..

We Are At The Carnival Today (Of Real Estate)
Thanks To Rob for acknowledging our Satire: Keep Those Credit Card Balances High Please at MortgagesUndressed.
click here for this weeks complete Carnival of Real Estate Awards
February 19th, 2007 ·
Pittsburgh Homes Daily is proud to present the Valentine’s Week Edition of the Carnival of Real Estate.
I’d like to highly commend the 24 participants who submitted an article this week. It’s a good thing that you didn’t have to submit it in person, since much of the state was shut down by ice, snow, and closed interstates Tuesday through Friday (stranding some motorists for 24 hours on the road).
Worthy of the DINNER OUT AWARD, and posted on Valentine’s Day no less, is this week’s winner:
Allen Butler’s SPAC Disease Reaches Pandemic Proportions at the BloodhoundBlog.
Just a few steps behind were my other five favorite posts, sharing the DOZEN ROSES AWARD, and well worth the time to read them:
Silicon Valley Blogger for Why I’d Hire This Real Estate Agent at The Digerati Life.
Michael Price for Interview: Damon Pace - HomeHugg.Com at Mike’s Corner Web 2.0 For Real Estate Pros.
Cliff Jacobson for Apples And Oranges, The NAR And The Zillow, Whose Business Model Will Win? at WebHomeUSABlog.
Roberta Murphy for Home Pricing Dangers at LuxuryHomeDigest.
And for his ability to work Pittsburgh into a real estate discussion, Drew Meyers for Geeks and the Housing Market posted at Zillow Blog. We’re disappointed that we’re below average in Pittsburgh, though. You’ll have to send a representative to Geek Night to get the word out!
Receiving our BOX OF CHOCOLATES AWARD for making the trek are (in no particular order):
Sean Black for Rating & Reviewing Agents. An Interview with Niki Scevak, CEO HomeThinking.com at Trulia Blog.
Larry K Cragun for Keep Those Credit Card Balances High Please at MortgagesUndressed.
