Carnival of Real Estate #49
There were about 40 entries for this week’s Carnival of Real Estate. That may be a normal amount for all I know but there was a lot of good writing to sort through. I feel a little inadequate after reading some of these great articles.
I sorted them into four categories: Real Estate Agents, Mortgages, Technology and Other.
Real Estate Agent Category… I had to give Broker Bryant first place. He had my whole family in stitches.
