Our policy is that Cathleen Collins chooses our nominees for real estate carnivals. I trust her to be objective, particularly about my posts. The contributors are polled for nominations on Saturday night, with their suggestions going to Cathy. Sometimes I overrule her, and sometimes she asks me to cover for her.
This week, Cathy got her short list down to four posts, one each by Morgan Brown, Kris Berg, Brian Brady and me, but she didn’t want to choose from there. She threw it over to me — heavy hangs the head.
I checked and saw that nine of our fifteen contributors had written in the past week. So I entered everything of moment from each of us. That’s a violation of the Carnival of Real Estate rules, but this is my attitude: If we’re going to lose anyway, let’s lose our own way.
These were the posts that I entered, starting with Cathy’s short list:
Morgan Brown:
Kris Berg:

That’s 21 posts out of the 35 we produced in the last week. That should be around half the total number received by the poor long-suffering judge — Larry Cragun of RealEstateUndressed.
