I made an awesome list …

Last night I received a surprise recognition from Sellsius (Joe Ferrara, real estate attorney, NY). For the past four years, Joe has selected the Top 12 Women Real Estate Bloggers. As he says on his blog, he looks for women who are “pushing the envelope, using video, and sharing community service, charity and education beyond the written word“. I made Joe’s list for 2009. I am so shocked and thrilled to receive this national recognition. 

I had the priviledge of meeting Joe in 2006 when he and Rudy Bachraty (now with Trulia) were on a bus tour for Blog USA across America. They made a stop at the Real Living HER office in Worthington.

While I’ve not personally met any of the women in the list, I do read some of them and follow them on Twitter or Facebook. Via their local blogs, they provide a lot of good real estate market info for their readers. They’ve kept up on technology as well as their market. That’s impressive. 

Some of the current and past winners are listed on my side bar. If you’re planning to relocate to any of those areas, I highly recommend giving those top agents a call for assistance. The other eleven 2009 Top Women Bloggers for 2009 are: 

• Monica McGillicuddy, NewHampshireRealEstateBlog
• Gena Riede, SacramentoRealEstate
• Dru Bloomfield, AtHomeInScottsdale
• Diane Guercio, HeyAmaretto
• Susie Blackmon, BuckingTheRealEstateTrend
• Kaye Thomas, ManhattanBeachRealty
• Colleen Kulikowski, BuffaloRealEstateNews
• Mary Pope-Handy, TheValleyOf Heart’sDelight, Live in Los Gatos
• Jessica Riffle Edwards, CarolinasFinest/HotPropertyBlog
• Kim Wood, WestOfPhillyBurbs
• Amy Chorew, TheTechByte

OK, enough with the self-promotion … now back to the real estate biz.
