I read the blogs and my favorite is Ilona's. I liked her positive attitude. I like the "I refuse to participate" philosophy.

Hi Liz  and Bill,

First I want to say congrat's to all who made this a success.

Second, why doe's the media not report on how the housing makets are doing. All you hear are that sales are flat and the housing recovery might be years away?

Nearly everyone I know within the housing industry seems to think all signs indicate that the housing market has and continues to improve.

So Why no good news from the media at all?

Good post, but we really know what's really going on with the housing markets.

Best, Clint Mckie

Donna, If you haven't already, please leave the Ilona vote comment on the original post so we don't miss your vote.  Thanks!

Clint, It's like everything, they'd prefer negative news to positive news.  While not perfect in our market, it's not as bad as folks have been led to believe either.

I help brokers build businesses they love.

There was a contest for reporting what is happening in our markets, but only with rosy glasses on?

I need a contest for the crabbiest blogger, or maybe the most disorganized. Or wastes the most time.

Congrats to PARTICIPANTS, who are all winners for just doin' their jobs every day.

Leslie, Hmmm, someone could probably put that contest together for you :)   Anyone who continues to fight against the market and keep their license active is a winning participant in our book.  We've lost over 1000 agents out of the 6000 that used to be part of our market.  Good for us, bad for them.

Liz & Bill wow 500 entries how many post did you read??? The way I see it is like reading an epic novel that is not moving fast at times it is a slow read. I am glad I only submitted one article:)) Congrats to you for getting thru all that and selecting the winners. You should get some extra points for reading and being a  judge:)))

This contest was a real stretch for me, having to write 5 entries in  a series, but I am so glad that I did it.  It's just another example of when the bar is set high, folks will rise to the occaision!  Thanks so much for all of the hard work that went into this one.  500 entries is a LOT to read!

Endre, Peter & Linda set up a nice division of reading amongst the judges, so none of us had to read them all.  From there the best were brought forward by each judge, then top 25 rated by all judges to select top 5 for the AR folks to vote.

Chris, As usual, given the opportunity the AR folks stepped up!

Michael, We probably only had to read less than a 100.  Fortunately the last day of the contest wasn't one of the days we were designated judge :)
