There seems to be some controversy over the "greatest real estate agent in the world contest" and I'm not sure why. People love contests. We love to WIN. Its that simple. Publisher's clearing house built their whole business model around it, long ago and its still going strong today.

So I did a quick little search here on AR, and was surprised at the results. We've had more contests here than you can imagine. Here are just a few of the ones I found:

Laurie Manny's Contest this was a great idea, to generate interest in great posts than may have fallen through the cracks. The winner was awarded extra points here on AR.

Discover the keys to your success this one is still going on, you have until March 9th to enter. The prize is three months of free coaching! A great prize for new and experienced agents alike (a fresh perspective never hurts!) So make sure you enter before the deadline. Details are in the post.

The BFF contest yet another enter to win contest, this time for your and your BEST FRIEND FOREVER. Still, the prize is pretty good, a five day vacation to your choice of destinations including LAS VEGAS (whichi is also a great place to buy real estate). You still have time to enter, but you'd better hurry.

Some contests are just for fun with no "prize or winner" I had put up one about Halloween costume contest, and it quickly fell into hillarity and chaos. Whether you like them or not, contests are great for generating interest. Do believe me?  Just do a search on AR for contests, you'll be surprised at the number of results. -Charles
