Welcome to the 68th Carnival of Real Estate, which can hence forth be referred to as The 2007 Dundie Awards. Not sure of the context? Perhaps a short video will help:
Without further ado, on to the award that money can't buy.....unless you have $19.99 plus $9.50 shipping. Just don't tell your neighbor.
The Show Me The Money Award - Danilo Bogdanovic shares the Real Estate Agent 2.0 Report Card - What Works and What Doesn't. A great summary and honest commentary on what works and what doesn't.
The Fine Work Award - Sara tells a tale of a recent nightmare in For Sale By Owner: Why I Woke Up Screaming. A list of potential hazards for potential FSBO buyers.
The Spicy Curry Award - The Art Thailand Blog recounts one experience of buying and owning a condo in Thailand.
The Don't Go In There After Me Award - Cindy Lin gives some great advice as it pertains to the realm of home inspection. specifically how NOT to try and get into the industry.
The Whitest Sneakers Award - Craig Schiller takes this award with a very interesting discussion about the need for accountability through statistics for home stagers. Bonus points for being the very first submission this week.
The Grace Under Fire Award - Jonathan Dalton has some interesting thoughts on The truth about NAR and licensing.
The Hottest In The Office Award - Pat Kapowich provides a recap on a recent round table discussion of Real Estate and Mortgage Fraud.
Last but not least, the grand champion of them all:
The Busiest Beaver Award - Mike Mueller puts on his metaphor hat to explain some new accounting rules that will play a significant role in the coming days on Wall Street, and some of the firms to watch.
Thanks again for all of the submissions and have a safe and happy holiday!
Thanks Tim, Great carnival. Love the Dundies theme. Can you imagine what work would be like if all the personalities from the re.net worked in the same office together????

THANKS for the award ;) Great format and LOVE the video!! But I think my post was more about home staging, but I suppose it can double for home inspections as well.
Cheers,
Cindy

I'm shocked that the Patriots going 16-0 didn't net a Dundie.
