It's time to get Extreme!

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is here in the D.C. area.  You've seen the show before.  They knock on the door of an unsuspecting family and send them away for a week while a huge army of volunteers builds the deserving family a brand spanking new home.

Several weeks ago, my brokerage, RE/MAX Allegiance announced that we had the opportunity to participate in this build.  There's a twist on this edition.  In one week, there going to be building two projects, a new home in Hyattsville, Maryland, and a community center in Washington D.C.

In just 24 hours, we had about 200 agents, staff, and family members sign up to volunteer.  Wow!  What an outpouring of volunteer effort.  Then last week, we were told that only 40 people from our brokerage would be able to participate due to overwhelming support from the community.  So we held a lottery drawing to see who would be involved.

Watch this news clip about the Extreme Makeover going on right now in D.C. and Maryland (short commercial may play first):

Guess who's going to be working on the volunteer crew?  That's right, your friendly neighborhood RE/MAX Allegiance Broker, Brian Block!

Not satisfied with just being extreme... I'm going to be extremely extreme -- that's right, I'm working on the 3 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. shift this coming Friday morning.
