BSAG Green Home Tour & Fair Results

The results are in! I was happy to support Build San Antonio Green but can't say the turnout was all that good.  For Green Home Realty, however, it was fine.  I spent the day with two wonderful people - my son Cory who will be attending Construction Careers High School as a pre-engineering/arcrhitect next year, and one of my mortage partners, Stephanie Stringer with Ameripro Funding. But that's not all.

BSAG Home Tour & Fair 2012

Mr. Bill Sinkin stopped by to visit my booth! Mr. Sinkin is the reason we have solar programs in San Antonio! At just under 100 years young, Mr. Sinkin is the founder of Solar San Antonio! He stopped by to give me an invitation to his 99th birthday party this Friday - cool!   But wait, there's more!

Bill Sankin & Cathy Bureau - Solar San Antonio Founder

I have a new recruit, Drew. I'll do a full blown announcment for him in a few weeks when he finishes his license. Yes, a newbie! I haven't really been recruiting, and definately not a newbie. But when you meet him you'll see he's a real fire cracker and a greenie at heart! He saw me and made a B-line with tail wagging! Me too! He's an MBA working as a retail store manager at a well known store looking to have more control over his finances and hours.

Green Home Realty - New AgentThe only thing could top this off is.... a new client! It's a green builder who specilizes in geothermal HVAC - that's a whole new blog topic so feel free to research it until then.  Once we find a track of land we can move forward with a spec house. Cool!

So, while I'm sad I didn't sell any of my properties or find leads for one of my builder clients, I am happy that I had some success.

Cathy, thanks so much for sharing your experiences at Build San Antonio Green.  I think your booth looks great - and it looks like you have quite a few luminaries attending!  Looking forward to hearing more about Drew!

Cathy, it sounds like this was one of those experiences that show that quality is more important than quantity. 

I like how you are doing your green marketing.  Colorado has a few more environmental challenges than we seemed to have in Texas, so I think Colorado is a little bit ahead in "green awareness" yet I am still trying to figure out how to work it into my business model.  I'm using you as one of my role models.

Hi Karen - thanks for stopping by today. I liked how my booth turned out too. They wanted to give me a wooden booth structure but it was trimmed out in red/white/green since San Antonio has so many Mexican cultural events. No way! I opted for my green tent. Boy I'm glad I did! Mine has a solar reflective sheild on the interior so even though it was only 86 that day, it sure felt nice!

Hi Sondra -  Thanks so much for your kind words. I encourge you to read Karen's blog. I recently did that Sensei/GrassHopper challenge that resulted in a really nice blog by Karen.
