favorite real estate co. memories/doings of twenty eleven.
g'day friends! i wanted to take this splendid opportunity to welcome you to nia's fab five monday. join me as i take you on a journey through memory lane of our favorite doings of our first year, as compiled by our stellar team.
5. the first ever (now annual!) facebook halloween photo extravaganza
this was quite simply the cutest thing ever! friends of the real estate co. were invited to share their favorite halloween photos on our Facebook page. there was amazing support, campaigning, and fun throughout this contest to find our winner. there were some really fantastic costumes.. i wonder if we will be seeing any little nia home costumes out trick or treating next year, how cute would that be?!
our first winner!
we were so pleased to showcase spectacular yards that really set themselves apart. whether it be christmas lights, holidays, 'that yard' (you know the one i am talking about.. landscaped to a tee, the one we all wish we could drive into the driveway of and call home). winter, spring, summer, fall.. we want to surprise people by showing them that someone really does notice the extra effort they put in and appreciate it. we took nominations from the community, showcased them online and with a super cool yard sign and gifted them a way fun treat basket that hopefully brought a true smile to their faces and warmth to their heart.
our first christmas decorated yard of the week winner... love!!
how fun is it to win something? oh my, so fun! winning a little somethin somethin can definitely turn a frown upside down. give away super prizes.. yes, the real estate co. did. all year long. contests on facebook were never ending. the games and friend support exceeded anything imaginable. contests included oodles of trivia, (i think we've pretty much covered everything.. from how many steps to get up to see us (20) to justin beiber (mistletoe). any topic really is fair game!) the i spy game of 'where in dickinson is this?, best day EVER in dickinson and my personal favorite the real estate co. version of 'you deserve it' where contestants played along all day trying to piece together random clues and having the opportunity to gift the prize money to a person/organization of the winners choice that they felt truly deserved it... proving it does feel better to give than to receive.
the domestic violence and rape crisis center received the donation. so deserving!
in october the real estate co. truly turned pink to spread awareness and support for breast cancer. an absolute wonderful time was had by our entire team putting together a very memorable 'pink glove dance.' we were all touched in so many ways by being a part of something so important to so many of us. in case you missed it... http://youtu.be/symwQrG2NyU. in addition, we tied pink ribbons to our for sale signs and designed official real estate co. breast cancer shirts to wear and give. such a special month that we will always remember.
1.the real estate co. night of hope
hands down this was one of our favorite nights of the entire year of twenty eleven. the real estate co. hosted the night of hope where we invited the community to join us in bringing books to gift the excitement of getting lost in a good book to the dickinson dvrcc for christmas. (the number of books was truly humbling!) the evening was filled with incredible local entertainment, delicious food, and the unveiling of the magnificent trees of hope. these trees were filled with 'stars of hope' giving everyone the opportunity to gift the magic of hope to someone in need in our community.
simply priceless.
now, wait til you see what we have in store for twenty twelve!
signing off with glee,
nia home
if you or anyone you know 'nia home' .. you know who to call. the real estate co, of course.
