And it wasn't a bad thing.
The story won't air until next month (July), but they were filming in one 
of my listings. Specifically, they were showing a property that was staged with a live-in home manager. Showhomes of Atlanta is the vendor that is doing the job correctly in this story.
Somebody else didn't. And instead of saving the seller money and making their home more attractive and available. They did exactly the opposite.
I don't want to go into details, because the story isn't released yet, but I will say that it seemed Randy Travis (not the singer) was pretty impressed with the house, the furnishings and the professionalism of the folks from Showhomes of Atlanta. they are the counter-point to fly-by-night operations that don't properly investigate the people that they put in their clients' homes... and by extension, our clients.
As always, I am willing to make myself and my listings (with the client's consent) available to the media. In this case, I only had to show up. Everything was arranged through and by Showhomes. But, when I know that a vendor is doing a good job for my clients, I have no problem promoting them. When they are doing a bad job for my clients... I make it tough to hide.
It was a lot of fun meeting the crew from Showhomes, as well as a couple of the folks from The iTeam.
Hey congrats!
Anytime you can get exposure without having to pay for it it is a good thing.
Take care!

Always good to know a company that knows how to get the job done CORRECTLY, and spread the word about them :-D
I believe that company was at RE Connect South when I was there?? How fortunate to get great exposure.. but well-deserved I am sure.
Hi Lane, that is a pretty interesting concept. We, as of yet, do not have any thing other than stagers at this point. Live-ins is a different concept...if that is what you meant. Very nice post. Put a link up when the promo airs.
Good morning Lane~ How impressive...one of your listings on a TV show! I'm sure your Seller just LOVES that! Congratulations!
Empire - I hope that we end up with a mention... aside from the use of the location.
Chris - Absolutely.
Susie - They weren't a sponsor... I don't recall them being there... but I could be wrong.
Gary - I will certainly be linking it up when they air the story.
LaShawn - It's the news... not always a good thing. But, I hope that the story looks good for the property.
Hi Lane, that is great. I'll be watching for it.
Keith - Don't worry, I'll post when I find out about the date, and I'll try to link it as well... for the not as local crowd.
Lane, if Randy Travis approves than you must be doing a great job. Lol
Congrats on the exposure.
Rod - As much as I'd like to say we have his approval, I can't... yet. We'll see what all he says when the report goes live.
Go Lane!! Congratulations on the publicity! What a great way to get thousands of "showings" in a 5-6 minute timeframe...your sellers must love you!

Patty - We have yet to see how much publicity it will bring. I just want it sold... and so does the seller.
