[...] We were happy to receive an email today that notified us that Real Estate Shows had made The Gosselin List, Best in Real Estate 2007. We were even happier to see that Real Estate Shows had made the list in two different categories, The 10 Most Influential Real Estate Blogs and Top 10 Real Estate Website Tools. Mr. Gosselin…. thank you. We’re honored. [...]

Lots of great blogs listed here Matthew!
But I have to ask…
Little Pink Houses at #3 on the most influential for the year? There has been one post there since JUNE 28. Don’t get me wrong, when LPH posts, it is first class stuff, always. I even named them on my “Top 26 – 50″ list. But to say a blog is the third most influential RE blog in 2007 when they’ve made one post in the last six months seems a bit of a stretch.
Just my humble opinion.

JAY-You have a valid point and I was hoping someone was going to catch on to that sooner. There is also a blog (4Realz) that has only been in operation for a month.
Both were tough decisions but after reviewing how often specific blog posts were picked up by others instead of activity and how long they have been in operation, it made the decision easier. Unless their is more activity on LittlePinkHouses.com I doubt they will make next year’s count. Although you can’t deny the quality of the blogs they do post.
I really appreciate your comments Jay! Keep reading!

Interesting list, but it hints of being political with little pink houses at #3 with so few posts and 4Realz being only a couple weeks of posting? These are both very good blogs, but top ten for the whole year?

Thanks for the comment Greg. I can assure everyone that I have absolutely no interaction with LittlePinkHouses and 4Realz before the list was made. I encourage everyone to check out each of their blogs and I know you will find each of them very deserving of the mention in the Gosselin List. I think it is important that as bloggers we do not focus on quantity but on quality.
Thanks again!

This is perhaps one of the most complete, consise, and helpful compilations that I’ve come across in quite a while. Now I’ve got some reading fodder to carry me over the Holidays! Thanks, Matthew!

[...] What better way to start this section than to provide links to the top 10 rated blogs of 2007 (they are US ones! – but there is much to learn). Now the reality is that the guy (Mathew Gosselin) who has put this together is not regarded as the guru of the web or blogging in real estate – he just has shown the initiative to put a list together – it is very much reflective of blogging – if you want to be noticed and seen by others get out there and share an opinion.

I just wanted to say, this is truly a great blog.
Thanks.
