Our first whole week in business has been absolutely crazy, but good.  We stayed extremely busy trying to don the "normal" things you would need to do in a real estate company, but had to also do the things that don't happen except when you open one.

We finally received 11 yard signs today.  We ordered 20 that were supposed to be here on Tuesday, but it all worked out just fine.  Jeri, our sales rep, has been working real hard trying to get things done for us.  Anyway, we placed our signs in the yards of the three listings we have and they really look sharp. 

Tomorrow night is the annual Halloween parade here in Defiance.  We have a cart all decked out and ready to go.  It's a big deal here.  If the weather cooperates there will be a few thousand people there.  I can't think of a better way to start getting out the news that we are open than our parade.  We'll be the talk of the town as people try and figure out who we are.  We made 500 flyers to pass out and I have to give big props to Hill Top Printing as they pulled off a small miracle today in getting them done for us.  I'd recommend them if you need something done.

I'll post after we get the pictures from the parade and I think you'd agree our cart looks GREAT!  Dawn and Brittney Carpenter worked on it for several hours yesterday.  Thanks you two!

If not too busy tomorrow night, come out to the parade and say hi.  We'd love to see ya.
