55th Carnival of Real Estate
Welcome to the 55th Carnival of Real Estate! We are proud to host this event and select a few of the entries that were submitted to highlight for the Carnival of Real Estate. We selected the following three Blog entries that tied for First Place because of the quality of content. They each gave really detailed information that can be beneficial to most people in the real estate industry.

Thank you all for your entries! We enjoyed reading all of them and participating as a host. I’m always wanting to read more entries each week than I do and never get to because I’m spending so many hours working on our business, LandsofAmerica.com, which is a listing service for rural land for sale. I wanted to invite you all to stop by and check it out. It makes for a nice trip through the country.

It’s nice to host because it forces me to read all the entries this week. There is no better place to review them than in my old rocker on the front porch overlooking the ranch. It makes for quite a nice retreat.

We also wanted to take this time to thank Drew Meyers from Zillow who manages the Carnival of Real Estate.
