Motivational Monday ~ Making Memories

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

As many of you know, my son is the proud father of my two wonderful grandchildren: Beautiful Beckett and Handsome Hudson. He and my amazing daughter-in-law are deeply committed parents, and life seems to be racing by at lightning speed. John bought a 1966 Bronco several years ago, and the family absolutely loves it! He’s brilliantly using it to advertise his listings in mid-town Austin, and sellers love this unique branding. In fact, many ask if the Bronco will make an appearance in front of their homes when they list with him!

John and his family call themselves “Team Dunham,” and they are all about making the most of every moment. When the weather is nice, they love riding in the Bronco to school, sporting events, and even the July 4th parade!

This summer, John had the roof removed and a roll bar installed, taking Beckett and her friend for a Sunday ride to gear up for the Independence Day celebrations.

It warms my heart to see how “Team Dunham” always creates an atmosphere of fun and joy!

As Pooh Bear wisely said, “We didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.”

Oh what fun, Dorie! I've seen John's marketing with the Bronco and always thought that was brilliant. More importantly though, he's using it to create amazing memories with his family and I love that!

Hi Debe Maxwell, CRS ,

He came up with the idea of using the Bronco in his marketing and it fits his farm area perfectly - Midtown Austin. Everyone knows when they see the Bronco it's his listing without even seeing his For Sale sign! Sellers want the Bronco in their listing photos. He is always volunteering to be the coach of Beckett and Hudson's sports team and the parents all live in the hood so love to hitch a ride if they can! Such good branding!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX - what a blessing it is to have your family with grandchildren too who are so great! I had an old Bronco when my kids were young. We had a lot of fun with it! And the Bronco was always reliable! Of course, it wasn't as old as a 1966. Mine was black with yellow and orange stripes! You couldn't miss it when I was on the road!

I'll bet your family is a lot of fun to be around!
