Hi Jeremy,  Wow  !!!   Did I learn something today ?    My own listing posts look so lame next to these beauties !  No more !

4:15pm • #40

They were all really good.  However, there is one that really stood out in my opinion.  Why?  It was simple.  No information overload.  If one wanted more information, there was the option of clicking on a link to get it.  And most important, it didn't bore with details.  It was very fun and entertaining!

Hi Jeremy~ I missed this contest too.  But, that is OK I couldn't have done any better than any of these contestants!

Man, oh, man, Jeremy - That was a really, really difficult choice. Although I won't reveal my ballot choice, I must say I am always a sucker for a touch of humor!

Jeremy,

The way of describing a home for sale to the "Traditionalists" and "Boomers" has mainly been by detailing the features.

I believe I read somewhere on AR that NAR is estimating just over 77% of the real estate business nowadays is coming from "Gen X" & "Gen Y's".

This huge segment (of X & Y's) is apparently most interested in the lifestyle (vs. the features) a home offers. Videos provide these buyers with the information on features (a picture is worth 1,000 words) anyway.

I'm really interested to know if there was one entry that stood out from others in describing the lifestyle?

I am not in the contest but will certainly take a look at the contestants and cast a vote.  Hate to miss out on an opportunity to help someone win a prize.
