survivor-brawl-thumb1There is a March Madness  style National Real Estate “Blog Brawl” happening right now, and I need your vote!

All you have to do is go to this site and cast your vote, for PhoenixRealEstateGuy.com of course!

I’m in Zone 2 which is a tough group as there are several very good real estate blogs in these pairings.

Voting is easy, no registration is required. I’m up against “Tina in Virginia” who I’ve met in real life. She’s a wonderful person and has a great blog but don’t feel bad, vote against her. I did. ;)

The Blog Brawl is hosted by the Virginia Association of Realtors. Tina is, obviously, located in Virginia so she has “home court advantage” (this despite the fact that I am a native born Virginian).

You can only vote once per IP address. So use your desk/lap top, your internet enabled phone, the office PC, whatever. And tell your friends.

What do you get for voting?

My thanks? My sincere gratitude? Good karma? I don’t know if that’s worth anything to you, but seriously, who can’t use a little good karma these days?

What do I get for your voting?

Bragging rights. And the winner gets an admission and travel allowance to the Inman News Real Estate Connect Conference in San Francisco this summer.

So please, pretty please, help me out and vote for Phoenix Real Estate Guy in Zone 2!

It appears you have to vote in each section to place a vote. Bummer – I’m not familiar enough with 3 or 4 of the sections. :(

Yeah, I voted for you. Even after I did the twitter thing on your competitions blog to win an iPhone, I still voted for you. Best of Luck. I can never understand how so many people have so much time to write so many interesting articles. I guess I really do need a time management course ;-)

Jay,

Greetings from Ohio. I am also in the Blog Brawl (although looking at some of the blogs in the competition, not sure if I am in the same league), so have just been visiting some of the other sites to check them out.

If nothing else, it will hopefully expose people (competitors and guests) to some new ideas and great minds.

Good luck in your “match up.”

Heather – you know I voted for you….

Greg – who’s giving away an iPhone?

Thanks to everyone that voted for me in Round 1. (And thanks to Tina, my worthy opponent and all-around nice person)

I managed to advance to Round 2, the “Sweet 16″.

Need your help now more than ever. If you can go here and squeeze off another vote, it’d be appreciated!

Jason – I made it to the “Elite Eight” but lost the battle to make the Final Four. No worries though, the guy that knocked me out, Daniel Rothamel, is a good friend and a great guy.
