Crye-Leike agents Lisa Williams And Mike Burchett sponsored a new program in Bowling Green for 2008 called the Hometown Easter egg hunt. The prized egg was worth $500 . Mike and Lisa had clues placed in the local newspaper and on local radio stations three times a week. The contest was open to everyone who wanted to participate and was scheduled to run through March 31st. The prized egg was found by Matthew Sloan (age 7) He and his team of hunters will be sharing the $500.00 prize in the first annual Home Town Egg Hunt.

If the egg had remained unclaimed the money would have then been donated to HOTEL,Inc. who provides help to needy families thoughout Bowling Green and Warren County.

Mike Burchett and Lisa Williams continue to be great examples for our community with their selfless desire to help out others. We at Crye-Leike Executive Realty are thankful to be affiliated with quality Realtors like these and salute them and their great promotion of this idea, which was extremely successful for a first year program. Lisa and Mike both wanted to do something to have families spend quality time together and thought this would be a fun way for that to happen. "This program has caused alot of people to call and ask about when the next clue was coming out so we knew it was going to be a success" Williams said. "We intend on continuing this and hope that next year's program will be even bigger" Burchett added. If you would like to contact either of them you may contact Lisa at lisa.williams@crye-leike.com or Mike at mikeb@crye-leike.com .

Real Estate market soft?

Well as I write this we are moving into the middle of February. It feels like February, I mean its cold outside and the roads are messy. I know that one of my favorite times as every other realtors will soon be upon us. SPRING! I want to let everyone know that we are seeing an increase in our phones, email and web traffic this month. No the market is not like 2006, but is is steady and we are selling properties daily. The media did a fantastic job of scaring everyone to death about how the government was going to come and get your home. I went shopping a few weeks back at Opry Mills in Nashville. What did I see? certainly no recession, no fearful faces and no parking places either. We are very blessed to live in a city like Bowling Green and live in an area like South Central Kentucky. People always ask me my advice on real estate and what they should do when buying,selling or anything else. Here is a simple fact I want you to remember. Always get with a professional who is in real estate. Do not try to go it alone.(I have seen so many horror stories, I could write a novel) The market is becoming extremely difficult for even us in the business to navigate. There is alot of information out in the world today and much of it is bad. That is one thing you are not told when surfing the web. Real estate information is everywhere and everyone is a so called expert. The true test of being a successful real estate company and sucessful real estate agent is, can you deliver? Plain and simple, Can you deliver? While we at this company are human and yes sometimes even we make mistakes, we will always do everything in our ability to deliver. That is a simple message but that is the Crye-Leike difference and it is what you need in today's market. Let me know what you think? ktinsley@crye-leike.com

Another Milestone for Crye-Leike Executive Realty

Crye-Leike Executive Realty is once again Crye-Leike's Number 1 franchise nationwide. We are thrilled about this honor once again and read the press release here.

Selling In a Tough Market?

Anyone who listens to the media today has no doubt been barraged with an endless tirade of how bad the mortgage and housing markets are and how the sky is now falling. The fact is, here locally the market is still very good. Homes are still selling just not as fast as in 2006 but that was a record year. Today you do need a real estate professional marketing your home and you also need to price your home to sell and not just sit on the market. We feel that most consumers today want more choices when it comes to selling their home. Hey, it's your home shouldn't you have some input in the selling process? We at Crye-Leike embrace our customers and give them the right to choose what they feel is best for them and what suits their needs. That is refreshing, isn't it? A Real Estate company that actually listens to what you want. We have made it easier for everyone to list their home with our company and at the same time have a real say in how we market their home. Our new plan is called SELLER'S CHOICE. It is exclusive to Crye-Leike and it has proven systems that will help get your home sold in today's market for the most money, with the least amount of hassle to you. For more information on this great new program call us today. I promise you'll love it. Email us at executiverealty@crye-leike.com and ask about SELLERS CHOICE.
