We are sponsoring free movie nights for teens. We had a problem getting a place to show them as the library has limited hours. Our town council has been kind enough to open the large foyer area so that we can show them there. Doug and I bought the rights from ACF films to show pre-release movies to the public, so the kids would be able to go to a movie right here in Chestermere. We are showing Knowing, a thriller with Nicholas Gage on the 11th and Push another thriller on June 18, On the 11 the movie will be shown from 6 to 8 pm. and on the 18th from 8 to 10 pm. These are pre-release movies, so they are still fairly new, they have not been released to the video stores or cable TV.

There is no charge for this YELL (Youth Encouraging Lasting Leadership) event.

One would think that with digital cameras it would not be too difficult to get new photos posted that don't have snow on them. Particularily with the primary photo, as it is the first photo they see. When buyer's see a home with snow on it they know that it has been on the market for a while. They will assume that there is something wrong with it. With so many homes on the market it is easy to just go to the next photo that has green grass and shows the landscaping.

Your clients will appreciate the effort if you take the time to go out and take new photos. Perhaps they will even take them for you and email them to you so you can uplaod them to mls.

With the enhancements to MLXChange we can now have 20 photos of our listings for clients to view. Have you taken the time to add extra shots so that your listing has an extra shot at getting sold? Good photos are essential to getting a home sold.

Before you do a price reduction, take a look at your photos and see if they really represent the house well. Buyers love virtual tours and it does not cost much more to have the home professionally photographed at the same time. Take a look at this tour done for us yesterday by Inner Circle. http://innercircleimaging.com/1mckay/707/east_lakeview_place.html

The tour also includes a slide show of the home.
