January 29, 2008 - Riverivew Builders caters Long & Foster's Sales Meeting. Andie Corby the Branch Manager at the Waldorf Long & Foster office and their agents were extremely gracious hosts and the meeting was a lot of fun. The Omelette Chefs did a great job with the food and everyone had lots of questions and we talked about our Broker Protection Program that allowed Buyer's Agents to get paid at construction close rather than at Use & Occupancy. No more waiting to get paid on New Construction! 3% commission paid and protected if your buyers come and visit our model home without you. Riverview is trying to get the message out that the relationship we have with Southern Maryland's real estate professionals is very important to our success in this region. Beyond the Broker Protection Program there was a lot of discussion about our 4 New Model Homes we are building in the Cliffton on the Potomac subdivision located 10 minutes south of La Plata, MD on route 301. New section is open located only 1 block from the Potomac River, many lots are either on the Potomac or have wonderful Potomac River Views as well as views of the Bridge. The 4 New Model Homes will start at $319,900 including $20,000 in Builder Incentives. As you might imagine that announcement along with the news of the Broker Protection Program was very well received and made for an extremely exciting meeting. We are currently working with several agents and their clients as a result of that meeting. Special thanks to Andie Corby and all the agents at the Waldorf Long & Foster Office for making for a fun morning and the start of a successful business relationship.

February 5, 2008 - Riverview Builders caters Coldwell Banker Sales Meeting. Jay Lilly the Manager of the Coldwell Banker and their agents were gracious hosts and we had a fun and informative meeting with the agents of his office. Jay was currently running for King Rex in the Civista Health Foundation's Mardi Gras Ball and I am happy to report ended up raising the most money of all of the King Candidates and was announced King of the 2008 Mardi Gras Ball.

Riverview Builder attends the Affordable Housing Fair at North Point High School in Waldorf, MD. Sponsored by the Board of Education the fair was open to all Board of Education, County, and Sheriff's Department's employees. There was a strong showing from the Real Estate professional community (Realtors, Title Companies, Mortgage Companies, etc.) Riverview Builders who currently is associated with Exit Landmark Realty of White Plains, MD made a big splash with a tent and video for the fair visitors. The fair drew approximately 100 visitors over a 3 hour period and Riverview Builders is still working with several couples we met at the fair. Riverview Builders concentrated our efforts on making sure the visitors knew about their financing options, mainly the many government loan options that allowed the buyers to still finance 100% of the purchase price or 97% plus Down Payment Assistance Programs for the 3%. Another hot topic was the House Keys 4 Employees Program. We wanted to make sure the prospective buyers attending the fair were aware of the $7,500 in closing costs assistance that they could qualify for. The $7,500 in Grant Funds to be paid by the County and State could be paid for those employees who qualified under the terms and conditions of the program, combined with closing costs assistance from Riverview Builders could put buyers in for little or no money. Exciting stuff!! I would like to conclude by offering a special thanks to Keith Hettel and Beth Thorsen for sponsoring the fair and they deserve a lot of the credit for the successful event.
