Hi all,

Well I finally found a furniture company that will work with me by providing furniture from their showroom. Barbara Mann with Remax Realty Consultants called me and asked for my help on a Brownstone that she is listing. It has been on the market for over a year with no interest.

This economy has been hard on everyone, and we needed to think outside the box to try to save money and help this builder show this home in a better light. I approached Klaussner Home Furnishings and asked if they would be willing to provide furniture for the living room, dining room and bedroom, in return, when the home sells, the builder will buy a $2500 gift card to their store for the new owner to spend. They agreed!!! I went and picked out what I wanted and they delivered it. They have a great selection of furniture and I hope this goes well for everyone and we can continue to work side by side in the future.

I also want to thank Budget Blinds for providing blinds at cost to put in the windows in the front of the house. They look beautiful! The builder has plans to build 6 more buildings and we will give out Budget Blinds name to all the new owners for their window treatment needs.

Here are the results

If you had a chance to read my blog An experiment that will hopefully be a win, win, win for everyone. We approached a furniture company and asked them if they would help us with furniture and in return, at close the builder would purchase a $5000 gift certificate to that store for the new home owner. It seemed like a great plan that would be a win, win, win for everyone involved. The builder had no money to spend since the home has been on the market for 3 years. Well, here is an update:

My sales guy was onboard all the way. He thought it was a great idea. He approached his manager who was also very excited and thought he would give it a try, but had to go through the owners for approval. One of the owners was thrilled and wanted to know how many houses we were going to do. I went in and picked out all the furniture. Then the sales guy came back to me a few days later and said the other owner wouldn't even discuss it. He was not interested at all.

We were back to square one. Then the builder remembered she had a friend who had a showroom in High Point. She took a chance and asked if we could borrow the furniture. He said YES !!!! Bad news was, we didn't get to pick it out. He gave us what he could. We worked with it. We were limited with accessories because I have a lot of vacants staged right now. I was scraping the bottom of the barrel and I didn't want to spend any money because I was doing this for free. I went over and put some accesories in the house and the Realtor opened it the following weekend during the parade of homes.

Result----they got an offer on Sunday (10 days after we staged it) and the builder accepted it. Needless to say, I had to call the furniture store and tell them they missed out on a great opportunity. Sometimes, you just have to take a chance. The furniture store has been very slow, I was told. Too bad...they could have had a better month if they would have helped us.

Here are some pictures I took. I didn't get a chance to take the one of the bedroom.

Tomorrow November 1st will be the Autumn Open House at the Greyhound Friends of North Carolina Oak Ridge, North Carolina kennel.

Please join us for a reunion of greyhound owners and propective owners.

We have something for everyone from a Blessing of the Hounds to a Hound Dash where you can actually have someone with a real radar gun clock your hound and give you a certificate with their speed. There will be of course hamburgers, veggie burgers, and hot dogs. No Autumn Open House would be complete without the costume contest.

There will be tours of our new kennel facility and we will have information about Mountain Hounds (our getaway to Gatlinburg with hounds). There will be many more vendors with collars, coats, pictures, artwork, and much more.

I will be there with my three so just take a look around and remember greyhounds are like Lay's potato chips you can't just have one.
