I was picked to do the Blogger's Choice selections just recently. Here is my interview with Midori Miller prior to my selections. :
Now I have the honor of picking 5 to 8 blogs for the Blogger's Choice Selections group. These blogs are in no particular order and this is like a mini week in review. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
A very realistic post on Listings and how to list your home. The expectations of you, the seller, she be realistic, especially in today's market. And Debe does a very good job of giving her expert opinion.
An excellent blog in my opinion because of the simple message that Tom explains in this post. The message? "have you completed or finished your unfinished business?" Such things as completing your web site or blog site, returning phone calls, etc, etc
Yes. Lenn is mentioned often on AR, but why not, when you write as good as she does. This is a must read series, not just one blog post. Lenn gives her insight of 20 + years as a realtor.
A very positive post for those newbies on Active Rain, that may get frustrated after they have written what they thought was a very good blog. It's sometimes not easy to find your voice right away. Larry talks about writing quality and being persistent. please read this one... and it took Larry several months prior, but he is proof of finding his voice and now putting out quality posts.
Will all of the negative news out there surround the Stimulus Bill, this is an excellent post that is not only positive, but keeps you in a "thinking positive" mode.
Anything is possible in life and if you don't believe this, read what Teri wrote in regards to moving a house across a frozen lake. If you haven't read Teris's blogs in the past,read them now, she always has some entertaining blogs from her area, Ham Lake - MN.
Here is another lesson learned from watching a tv show. Jeremy shares what can be done in today's market when it comes to listing new homes. Basically, throwing out the old and bringing in the new, new ideas that is.
Ron always has a way with his titles just as he has with his way of think, always sharing a good opinion. I guess being an officer in the Navy has helped in who Ron is also, sharing his political views also. Ron, thanks for your years of Service.
Some very easy to understand wise words of advice that buyers should read. So, what does turn a buyer on? Read these ideas and thoughtful tips by Allison.
Okay, so shoot me, I picked 9. Just giving back my love to those that continue to share so much in what they write. I hope you enjoyed these and Happy Valentine's Day to those with loved ones in their lives. Don't

Hi Jeff! WOW! Thank you so much for the mention--I needed a little 'love' today! I'm honored to be in the company of some truly fabulous bloggers and be selected by YOU--Can you tell--you made my day!
And, why no individual comments? Got a hot date for V-Day?! JK
Happy Valentine's Day and thanks again Jeff!
Some good posts, some great people. This (Blogger's Choice) is one of my favorite groups here on AR and I'm certain that Lola & Midori have something to do with that. I caught many of these but did miss some, as typical. I've become a HUGE Ron Withers fan... just saying. I'm checking out that particular article right about now.
Jeff-
I had seen a few days back that you had agreed to step up to the plate and host The Bloggers' Choice Selection. I had not seen this post until after receiving a comment on my post by Midori Miller and her congrats! Thanks for the mention/recognition---it is appreciated!. I well check out the others being recognized here...Great job! Oops, I just caught Jason Sardi's comment above....Jason I am humbled by your comment. We had a great phone conversation, maybe 30-45 minutes, which I enjoyed immensely. We should talk again...sooner rather than later. Ciao.
Well done Jeff ! - Nice choices, I missed some and they are goodies, so I'm glad you listed them !
Cheers !
Sheldon
