Whew! I am feeling it! The button on my jeans is crying to be released! The kick-off to the holiday season began today at our Allen Tate office in Winston-Salem. With over 60 agents in attendance and everyone bringing 2-3 side dishes and the staff providing turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, let's just say, I don't know how I am going to make it to the new year! I looked around the room and I certainly was not the only one feeling the love for this mega-buffet. Plates were bending, folks were eating while in line in order to make more room on their plate, seconds were served and the crock-pot full of gravy didn't stand a chance by the looks of this crowd. We've been waiting for this...
It makes you really appreciate a group of fellow Realtors under one company that can gather to gather, take time out of their busy schedule and share the harvest with each other. Sure war stories were exchanged right along beside the recipes, plenty of ribbing about being airlifted out of the room or having the wrecker service drag someones chair to their office, but it's like one big family complete with love and plenty of sarcasm.
I am thankful not only for such a supportive group of co-workers but also, an amazing company that is always ahead of the technology and marketing curve, a top-notch year where we have grown our team with two additional full-time agents and a full-time assistant, a market where jobs are being created everyday and my family both at home and at work. Sure makes my life a lot more enjoyable and for this I Thank God! Happy Thanksgiving!

Luxury Listings...Be the Jewel in the Crown!
As a founding member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Allen Tate Realtors, has access to amazing exposure for your luxury home by way of their Luxury Portfolio. Luxury Portfolio is a dedicated program of print and internet advertising that focuses on, well, you guessed it, luxury living. As we all know, every man's home is his or her castle, so first there has to be a guideline as to what determines a luxury listing. For Luxury Portfolio, a qualified luxury home, must be a residential property price over $750,000.
This figure is the key that opens up a plethora of doors across the world, therefore exposing your home to discerning buyers in every country. Armed with high resolution photography and photos that resonate the quality and unique attributes of these homes, Luxury Portfolio does more than just throw your home into the mix of the millions of homes on the market--it positions it as a unique jewel among others in the "luxury" crown.
Most of the homes in the Luxury Portfolio have online-floor plans that allow you to view the layout of the home. The floor plans coupled with a gracious number of quality photos, allows buyers to really get a feel for the home prior to their visit. The homes appear in a variety of print publications and as sellers, you receive complimentary copies of most of these publications. Homes in Luxury Portfolio also qualify for Wall Street Journal advertising as well as Unique Homes Magazine which you may have flipped through the last time you were at Barnes and Nobel. The homes are also stars in their own YouTube channel available to buyers who like to virtually tour homes.
So what are you waiting for? Thinking of selling your luxury listing? Give Brooke Cashion & Associates a call/text/email and we would love to sit down and share with you not only Luxury Portfolio, but all of the unique goodies that we have to offer. It's company and team tools such as these that have given us a "leg-up" in this market, allowing us to increase our business in 2011 over 30%. Let us share our experience and attention to detail with you!

Congratulations On Your New Arrival!
Gotcha! Nope, not me having a baby...but our team does have some exciting announcements to make regarding some very special additions!
First, Brooke Cashion and Associates welcomes TWO new members to the team! Jennifer Sammons has just joined me as a new agent on the team, specializing in buyer's agency, new construction and the Surry and Stokes county areas. Funny how things work, but Jennifer was a former client of mine who lived in Kernersville and I sold them a beautiful home on 7 acres that backs up to Pilot mountain. Needless to say, I was thrilled when she told me she was looking to change careers and get into real estate. Jennifer previously worked several years with a national new home builder as an interior designer and most recently she worked with a local plumbing fixture company. Needless to say, she knows homes and has been around remodeling and new construction for well over the past ten years! Not to mention, she is super active in the Winston-Salem Home Builders Association and sits on their board of directors. I cannot even begin to describe what a pleasure it is to have Jennifer and her positive attitude, witty sense of humor, excitement and her fashion-sense in our office! She is available full-time to serve all of your real estate needs and can be reached at 226-399-5218.
Our next addition is Dawna Compton, our new right-hand gal, who filled in when our beloved Beth left to spend more time with her boys. Though we miss Beth dearly, Dawna fell right into the groove. Dawna will be specializing in systems, organization and marketing implementation so that our day to day processes go smoothly in order to allow Jennifer and I to be out in the field and physically with our clients more often. Dawna also brings a ton of resources with her, especially her knowledge and enthusiasm for technology, her "can-do" attitude and her strong work ethic--each of which are seasoned with a dose of quirky humor! If you are a current client and need anything regarding fliers, books, website management, etc. Dawna is your gal--but of course, you can still call me anytime!
We do have another arrival to announce and that is Allen Tate Winston-Salem's arrival to our new location in downtown Winston! We have FINALLY settled into our new building located at 147 S. Cherry St. and it is beautiful! Please find the time to drop in and say hello or wave as you pass by on Business 40!
With these additions, I look forward to all of the good that is certainly to come from it and I am excited about implementing new resources to better serve you and your referrals!
Keep 'em coming!
