And it wasn't a bad thing.  

The story won't air until next month (July), but they were filming in one of my listings.  Specifically, they were showing a property that was staged with a live-in home manager.  Showhomes of Atlanta is the vendor that is doing the job correctly in this story. 

Somebody else didn't.  And instead of saving the seller money and making their home more attractive and available. They did exactly the opposite.  

I don't want to go into details, because the story isn't released yet, but I will say that it seemed Randy Travis (not the singer) was pretty impressed with the house, the furnishings and the professionalism of the folks from Showhomes of Atlanta. they are the counter-point to fly-by-night operations that don't properly investigate the people that they put in their clients' homes... and by extension, our clients.

As always, I am willing to make myself and my listings (with the client's consent) available to the media.  In this case, I only had to show up.  Everything was arranged through and by Showhomes.  But, when I know that a vendor is doing a good job for my clients, I have no problem promoting them.  When they are doing a bad job for my clients... I make it tough to hide. 

It was a lot of fun meeting the crew from Showhomes, as well as a couple of the folks from The iTeam.
