It’s been a couple weeks since the last CoRE podcast, but we got back on track this week. This afternoon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Allan Shannon from Lands of America, which hosted the 55th edition of the carnival at TheLandJournal.com, for this week’s CoRE Podcast. I thought it was a great conversation, particularly Allan’s thoughts about rural vs metro real estate trends (towards the end of the podcast). Hopefully, you find some value in listening to the discussion.
Note that my other office phone rang during the podcast, so I had to edit out a small piece in the middle - I don’t think it’s too choppy though.

To say the 50th edition of the carnival was anything less than spectacular would be a travesty (28 comments speak volumes on their own). This morning, I had the pleasure of speaking with the man behind the curtain, Toby Boyce, for this week’s CoRE Podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed the 12-minute conversation — so hopefully, you find some value in listening to the discussion (or you can just listen to learn a bit more about Toby).
I must say, it’s pretty cool we’re half way to the 100th edition. And, again, a huge thanks has to go to everyone that has supported the carnival — both hosting and submitting (and special thanks to those who have done both).

This morning, I caught up with Michael Simonsen for this week’s CoRE Podcast. Michael hosted the 48th edition of the carnival at Altos Research Real Estate Insights. We touched on a variety of topics; business benefits of blogging, the Silicon Valley market, the “blogging about others’ listings” debate, and photos. Hopefully everyone finds this chat as engaging as I did.
Thanks Michael!

Colorful subjects, colorful posts. Appropriately, today’s 46th edition of the Carnival of Real Estate uses a color theme this week when annointing the winners since Craig Schiller, host of the carnival, is a home stager in Chicago and the author/owner/stager of the Home Staging, Rants & Raves blog. Craig’s biz is to “… professionally merchandise properties using style, scale, proportion, color, and flow to ultimately make a home “unforgettable” in the eyes of the buyer.” Go take a look! http://www.realestaging.blogspot.com/

This afternoon, I spoke with Justin Smith from the Christian Real Estate Network for the latest CoRE Podcast. He hosted the 45th edition of the carnival yesterday on his companies’ blog. It was a great chat - Justin is certainly passionate about helping real estate professionals market themselves on line. Additionally, like most other bloggers I speak with, he enjoys the networking aspect of blogging.
I hope everyone enjoys the conversation as much as I did!

This morning, I caught up with Kevin Warmath, who hosted the 44th edition of the carnival last Tuesday, for the latest CoRE podcast. Due to hectic schedules last week, we didn’t have time to schedule a podcast until today. I’m very impressed with Kevin’s ability to attract clients from his blog — 2-3 phone calls a week from his blog is pretty impressive if you ask me. He purposely doesn’t write about industry issues so that he can focus entirely on consumer content, though this might be the reason much of the carnival’s real estate professional audience may have not come across his North Fulton County Real Estate blog yet. I enjoyed the chat. Hopefully, you do too. Thanks Kevin! ~Drew Meyers

Homethinking made its maiden voyage today as host of the 43rd edition of the Carnival of Real Estate. Emerging as the most interesting posts of the week, according to Homethinking, are posts by Broker Bryant and Greg Swan at Bloodhound Blog, both taking on last week’s 60 Minutes program about the real estate biz and specifically, Redfin. Head on over and take a look!

Are you considering an offshore investment? If you have your eye on some overseas real estate, click on the podcast link to get to know Harvey Edgecombe — the London real estate market is his specialty. Harvey recently hosted the 38th carnival of real estate on his blog, Renthusiast.org and that was also the first international appearance of the carnival.
This call was recorded just over a week ago. If you follow real estate blogs, you’ll probably know Renthusiast.org for its thoughtful analysis and its no-frills appearance. I enjoyed chatting with Harvey; he’s a smart guy who calls it like it is and who is clearly ahead of the pack in the UK where real estate blogging is still scarce.
Thanks, Harvey!
