We had quite a week at BloodhoundBlog<\/a>. If you haven’t had a chance to stay abreast of the trail we’re running, here’s a summary of the week’s most significant weblog entries.<\/p>\n

We added three new contributors this week, starting with real estate investor Michael Cook<\/a>, who brought us The Right Time to Buy: An Investor Perspective<\/a>, Out of State Investing: All Sizzle, no Steak<\/a> and A Different View of Diversification<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our second new arrival, Jeff Turner<\/a>, is an entrepreneur producing video tour commercials for listing agents. His inaugural post was Lessons Learned While Watching American Idol<\/a>, followed by a post exploring issues facing Realtors in the age of Realty.bots like Zillow.com: Disintermediation? Not For Me. Not Yet.<\/a><\/p>\n

Our third new contributor is Norma Newgent<\/a>, a Realtor working out of Tampa Bay, Florida. Her first post to BloodhoundBlog is Pack Up Your Toys and Go Home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But don’t get the idea that our tricks are all a matter of new dogs. Every member of the pack did exemplary work this week.<\/p>\n

As her reward for having won the Carnival of Real Estate<\/a>, Kris Berg<\/a> is honorary Queen of the Pack. With typically regal comical rigor (try saying that out loud), she brings us A New Agent Guide to Getting the Listing… and Getting Over It<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jeff Brown<\/a> is completely disgusted with blog carnivals, but that doesn’t stop him from producing first-rate investment advice. This week, he brought forth Your Retirement — A Few Questions<\/a>, Is There Any Diversifying Alternative To Real Estate Investing?<\/a> and Ben Stein Says Real Estate Is Easily Inferior To The DOW<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dan Green<\/a> presents an object lesson in the destructive consequences of seemingly harmless weblogging practices: Anonymous Posters Can Be A Destructive Influence, or How Communication Is The Difference Between Good PR and Bad PR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doug Quance<\/a> is on a tear: It’s High-Time To Do Away With Referral Fees!<\/a> Kris Berg weighs in with her own thoughts on the subject from The San Diego Home Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brian Brady<\/a> posted another of his excellent interviews, this one with The X Broker, Jeff Corbett<\/a>. Brian also brought us Mortgage Origination Is A Contact Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mega-producing Realtor Russell Shaw<\/a> was interviewed Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
