"Find Your Freedom" booth in Marshfield, MO

Last weekend, our Marshfield office had a booth at the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Marshfield, Missouri. (Read about all the events of the festival HERE.)

As we were setting up our booth Saturday morning, a candidate for Webster County Sheriff came over. After a little chit chat, he said, "This isn't your typical real estate booth."

Later on in the day, I was talking to a couple who recently moved to Marshfield from Arizona. As they were walking away, the man leaned over and whispered, "This isn't your typical real estate booth. I love it."

We had a nice crowd, almost all day long. Even though this was the first year booths were inside and there were so many other activities going on, there was a steady flow of people. The day ended with a handful or so of good leads to follow up with. we met lots of interesting people and I learned more about a community we are still new comers to.

I really didn't put all the pieces together until Sunday morning when one of the organizers of the Festival came by our booth. She said she wanted to make a point of stopping by - she loved the booth. "It's not a typical real estate booth, you know."

Through the years, we've done a variety of festivals and have had a variety of booths. None of them had the feel we were after and we changed them time after time; never having the same booth twice.

The fence came from behind my Mom and Dad's farm house, literally - just three days before the Festival they let Ray and I cut down four sections of their fence. The wagon wheels were brought down to Missouri from Illinois; the hay was from my barn. The signs were original yard signs from the earlier days of the United Country franchise. The lariat and spurs were my Grandfather's, given to my husband, Ray.

This booth reflected who we are as a group and as a company. We sell the country life style. We sell the family life style that comes with owning your own piece of property. We sell the peace and security that comes with living in rural America. We sell what and where we live.

As we packed up from the Festival on Sunday afternoon, I was exhausted but fired up. Finally, we had a booth that reflected who we are and what we believe in. We had a booth that reflected our message: we are not your typical real estate company. We are here to help people FIND THEIR FREEDOM in South Central Missouri. And, I love it!
