After 6 months of renovation, using a 203 (k) loan, 112 Camden Street is almost ready to move-in!  I can’t believe this 100-year old house in Downtown Raleigh now looks like this!  Video blog coming tomorrow!

Instruments of Justice playing right now at the Caraleigh Mills/Red Cross Tornado Victims Benefit. This is an awesome event and great cause. Caraleigh Mills was affected by the recent tornadoes and they are raising money tonight for all those affected!  Way to go!

The HOA at Avington Place are held a food/clothes drive today to help tornado victims. This neighborhood is in Northeast Raleigh was in the path of the tornado, but was one of few that came out virtually unscathed. Neighbors have collected so many donated items that we had to call Helping Hands Mission to come pick it up. Those affected by the tornado can pick up items at Raleigh’s Helping Hand Mission on Rock Quarry Road.

Open House today at 6500 Sparkling Brook Drive in Stone Ridge. The house is gorgeous and the weather is too! I’ll be here ’til 4 pm!

We have learned so much this week from some pretty smart people at the Coldwell Banker Generation Blue Conference in Las Vegas.  From social media to the power of video, I think I’m bringing back some great ideas to help my clients by and sell homes.  

Aside from learning a whole lot, I was also a bit “star struck” this week.  I have met celebrities before when I was in television, but meeting Madison Hildebrand from “Million Dollar Listings” just made me giddy!  He’s a smart guy and had some very good advice. But ok- let’s get real.  He’s easy on the eyes and I watch this show every week!  For those of you who watch the show, I asked him if last night’s episode was where he told Josh he could “throw down.”  not a very intelligent question, I know. (I promise I have asked other people here better ones.)   

That’s all for now from The Mirage in Vegas! Hope you enjoy the pic!
