Congratulations!!

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

A few weeks ago we announced a photo contest for ActiveRain members to submit "before" and "after" photos of properties they have staged. We received many wonderful submissions in each of 4 categories: "Vacant new homes," "Vacant resale homes," "Repositioned/removed furniture," and "Furniture added." One of the category winners receives a grand prize in lieu of the category prize.

SO, WHO WON?

And the winners are...

  • Grand Prize and Category 1: "
    Connie Tebyani, Platinum Home Staging, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, CA. (View it!)
    Connie will receive the grand prize of a $300 Visa gift card + one free registration to each of RealtyU's fully transferrable online designation courses: Certified Short-Sale Professional (CSP), Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS). ($900 total value.)

    As with all winning contestants, she can keep the cash and choose to either take or gift the online courses to an agent-client.

  • Category 2: "Vacant resale homes."
    Karen Otto, Home Star Staging, Collin County, TX.
    (View it!)
    Karen will receive a category prize of a $200 Visa gift card + one free registration to RealtyU's fully transferrable online designation course: Certified Short-Sale Professional (CSP). ($500 total value.)

  • Category 3: "Repositioned/removed furniture."
    Ardell DellaLoggia, Sound Realty, Kirkland, WA. (View it! Here and here.)
    Ardell will also receive the category prize, as announced above.

  • Category 4: "Funiture added."
    Michelle Molinari, Feature This..., Lafayette, LA. (View it!)
    Michelle will also receive the category prize, as announced above.

Each of the contestants listed above will be contacted separately for details about receiving their prize winnings.

Again, congratulations!

WOW! I'm truly honored! Thank you Andy!

Now I may just have to blog about it and create my own little "contest" locally to see which Realtor I may gift the Certified Short-Sale Professional (CSP). ($500 total value.) to - that's quite a prize! I know where the Visa gift card will be going to... can you say inventory shopping anyone?

OMG - Thank you, Andy!!!  I had no idea until Karen contacted me, & you READ MY MIND,  I planned on giving away the Agent Short Sale training as a door prize at Realtor presentation.  But I like the idea of blogging it as well.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I just revisited all the winning entries to which Andy provided links.  And, I absolutely agree.  Those are wonderful... good luck to you in your business.  As an aside, I'll see about leveraging my affiliation with RealtyU to make an announcement through their highly-traffic'd real estate blog (www.RealBlogging.com) and maybe get some add'l free publicity for the winner's and their respective businesses... maybe a press release through RealtyU?  (No promises on the latter, but I think I can make the former happen.) 

But, out of respect to the winners, let me know if anybody objects and I'll respect that.

In any case, CONGRATULATIONS!  :-)

Hi Andy, I got your message today (sorry I didn't answer - quite honestly when I saw the 206 area code I figured it was a Lottery Win from Nigeria =)  I'll call you tomorrow.

Mel - no objections here! The more the merrier!

Kimo, You're the best!!!! Mahalo Nui Loa! (yes, you're much more than a "pretty face", as Andy puts it ;-)
