Top Real Estate Blogs
Using a “complex” algorithm we’ve compiled a list of the top real estate agent-created blogs on the internet from Compete and Alexa traffic estimates. We are assigning each Top RE-Blog a RE-Blog Score and we’ll be updating the list on a monthly basis.
The criteria for being included in the Top Real Estate Blog list are:
- There must be one or more actual real estate agents posting to the blog.
- Blogs can’t be on a subdomain (e.g. bestreblog.blogspot.com).
The Top Blogs List is updated monthly. Did Chase forget your blog? Holler at him at chase@estately.com.

Thanks for the inclusion Chase, and welcome to Estately! There’s some fine company on this list.
“Top whatever” lists are always interesting, and likely to spawn some “add me!” and “But Alexa and Compete suck!” talk.
And while C and A may indeed suck, the competitor in me is trying to figure out how to squeeze another thousand points out of your “complex” algorithm so I can pass Tom… Need more weight on Alexa!

LOL. I hear ya Jay. Not that I’m not happy coming in at number 8, but number 7 looks pretty good….

[...] saw some big movers in the Real Estate Blog Index. The Phoenix Real Estate Guy leaped three slots to #1, pushing Agent Genius and Bloodhound Blog [...]

Nice list…it makes me think I need to work harder on promoting my blog. I don’t take Alexa or compete too seriously, but it is always nice if you get in that top 100,000. I think Jay’s blog is one of my favorites to read when I have the time so I don’t mind to see it as #1
Anyways, if you have some time, check my site out:
Upstart Agent Real Estate Marketing Blog
Maybe I can squeeze in to the 50th spot sometime
Great list!
