I recently attended the Prudential Real Estate Convention in San Diego, CA, March 6-8, 2011 to catch up on industry news and to receive the award for being a top performer in the Southeastern region for Prudential.

Guest speakers at the convention were Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, the parents who inspired The Blind Side movie. They told their story, welcomed others’ and shared their hopes of having every Prudential agent make an impact within their community.

Their speech happily reminded me of the success and accolade that go along with being a Prudential Gallo REALTORS® agent. Prudential Gallo takes great pride in its community roots. In fact, they launched a new marketing program, Community minded, Customer Focused, which emphasizes the importance of family, life in Sussex County and having a place to call home…Something I embrace whole-heartedly when it comes to Lewes.

Overall, I left the convention with a renewed sense of purpose and am looking forward to (an already) productive 2011!

April 28 from 1:45p-2:45p in historic Old New Castle

Renowned film maker Ken Burns will be coming to Delaware to receive the Delaware History Makers Award from the Delaware Historical Society on April 28. Mr. Burns will be arriving in Delaware that morning and has agreed to participate in a press event to highlight the need for Delaware to have a national park.  As you know, the Delaware Congressional Delegation introduced historic legislation to authorize the creation of a national park in Delaware – the First State National Historical Park Act of 2011 in February.  

Senator Thomas Carper’s office plans to host a short, 30 minute press conference at the New Castle Courthouse (which is the proposed headquarters for the First State National Historic Park) from 1:45-2:15p followed by a 30 minute tour.   Folks from the Park Service, local stakeholders, etc will all be invited to attend the event and go on the tour as well. 

The Senator’s office hopes that you will be able to join them at this historic event!

I was reading Delaware Today last night and was pleasantly surprised when I happened on page 60, Delaware Today's 'Best Places to Live: 35 Great towns, How does yours rate?' Lewes Beach Delaware is number one!

Yeah, our sweet little town has won the hearts of the locals and embodies its slogan "The first town in the first state". I am so proud to call it home. The article provides a quick overview of several categories rated by locals; a few are: Safety, Commute time, Shopping/Dining and Arts & Culture. While they rate on a few different scales, I'd of course give our town top-honors for everything...there really is so much to do here. From the Kite Festival in the Spring to the Christmas Parade in town. In fact, you can find out more about Lewes events and the Delaware Today article here.

As yet another way to bring real estate buyers and sellers together, the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group of Prudential Gallo Realtors has incorporated Microsoft’s Tag in its advertising, among other places, that will direct users to various related websites.

This tag is a type of two-dimensional bar code that, when used with a mobile application, allows the user to review websites, receive messages, get access to special deals and more from the advertiser. The particular tag in the weekly Cape Gazette ad sends participates to the group’s real estate search page at lewesrealestate.com.

“It’s fascinating that it’s possible to go from medium to medium via mobile phone,” said Wilkinson. “This tag will connect newspaper readers to our website. Its cutting-edge technology that I think will benefit both buyers and sellers.”

Currently, very few real estate companies in the country have implemented this technology, and this is the first in the area.

Get the tag reader by visiting http://gettag.mobi on your mobile phone. Then test it with the tag below.

For more information about that tag application or general information, call (302) 645-6664. The office is located at 16698 Kings Highway, Suite A, Lewes, DE 19958.
