Mini Shopping Spree at the MAAR Realtor Store Yesterday

Last week while I was on Madeline Island for showings, I received a phone call from Delores (Dee) Hoseth at the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors (MAAR), informing me that I had won a $25 merchandise certificate for responding to a MAAR online survey about the "Realtor Store" at MAAR headquarters in Edina, Minnesota.

It's not every day that I win something, so I headed to MAAR yesterday and claimed a six-foot tall blue & white "Open House" banner for the office.  I'd been admiring these banners for a few weeks now, so the timing was good.

While I'm at it, I'll put in a "plug" for the MAAR Realtor Store. The store has come in handy for me over and over again in the past ten years.  I rely on the Store as a place where I can grab a sign rider, transaction folders, sign hardware, or accessories, without having to place an online order and wait a week (or more) to receive the items I need.  The prices are good and the convenience is priceless!
