- 05/23/10 07:03 AM
I am fortunate to be a member of the Sedona Luxury Real Estate Professional Associations. And if you remember the goodwill that came from Macy's Santa recommending Gimbels department store to a parent wanting to purchase a toy that Macy's didn't carry in the classic 1947 film, Miracle on 34th Street, then you will have a hint of the motives of the Sedona Luxury Real Estate Professionals. Macys and Gimbels were vigorous competitors, as could be the members of the SLREP, each from different real estate brokerages and with individual real estate practices.
