With over 1900 real estate agents in our Central Kentucky Multiple Listing Service alone you have to do something to set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd. What makes you different? Why should the buyer or seller call you to help them with their Lexington home sale or purchase? Establishing yourself as the local expert is key to dominating the real estate market according to Ze Frank Keynote Speaker at our ActiveWeb Conference in Denver. CO last fall. Today’s consumer wants to feel confident that you are the source not only for housing but also knowledgeable about the local community as well including landmarks, restaurants, shopping, employment and “things to do” once they make the move. This holds true especially for people moving in from another county or state but also for the locals. Assisting them in finding a home that best meets their lifestyle needs – not just housing needs is critical.

Todd Back and Meredith Lane are working towards establishing themselves as local experts in Lexington and have just released their first video called Todd & Meredith’s Cool Places. Each video will spotlight a local business or landmark and segue into a cool place to live. At the end of the clip they welcome the viewer to contact them should they want to find their own “cool place” to live. It is a soft sell approach that promises to be very lucrative for these young entrepreneurs! Uploaded to YouTube and Facebook they have positioned themselves to be the experts in all that is local in Lexington.

Todd & Meredith’s Cool Places premier features…

SweatLex – Challenging, intelligent and effective group fitness that will change the way you look, feel and think.

Ball Homes’ Coventry II Model – Contemporary three bedroom ranch floor plan in Greendale Cottages.

Milestone Realty Consultants has done the same by establishing ourselves as the local experts through our website. Rather than have a generic company branded website Milestone and it’s Enterprise Team work countless hours updating and positioning our website as the place to go to find information on Central Kentucky.

Set your DVR! It’s a very exciting week in the office as one of our very own builders, James Monroe of James Monroe Homes (formally Via Vitae Development, LLC), is going to be hitting the broadcast airwaves as a contestant on HGTV’s Bang For Your Buck.

The premise of the show is simple – HGTV pits three renovation projects of a similar cost, area and room against one another with an expert judging a winner based off of who produced the biggest return of investment with their project and ultimately who used their money wisest. For this particular episode area this Saturday, the three contestants were from Midway, Lexington and Nicholasville. James Monroe had renovated his basement in Stuart Hall subdivision January of 2010 and is one of the subjects of this particular episode.

When asked about the experience James had the follow to say,

“This would give visitors an opportunity to see and evaluate our work, imagine my work in their home, and hopefully choose me to build their next home or perhaps they might share with friends who are looking for a custom home builder.”

James Monroe Homes offers an abundance of services whether you are building a new home, buying your first home, or need to remodel or repair your existing home.  Currently with two subdivision in Lexington (Kearney Hall and Equestian View) and numerous floor plans to choose from, you’re sure to find a home that fits perfect in to your way of life. Their slogan explains it best, “Where ever you are on the road of life we are here to build your next step”. If you have any questions about James Monroe Homes please don’t hesitate to contact Janet Royer here at Milestone.

This episode of Bang For Your Buck entitled “$100,000 Social Entertainment or Social Area Renovations” will be airing October 15th, 2011 at 2:30pm EST. Check your local listings for your channel line-up and in case you miss the initial airing any re-runs. We’ll also be posting a link to the episode once it airs.

Webb-Beatty Homes

I am excited to announce that Webb-Beatty Homes has partnered with Milestone Realty Consultants to sell their new homes!

I was first introduced to Webb-Beatty Homes while I was representing a family who purchased a new Webb-Beatty property.  As the buyers’ agent, I was so impressed by the quality of the home, all the additional upgraded features included, the great price and the professionalism involved.  Overall, my clients received a brand new home full of amenities at a really great value!  They are still extremely happy with their home today.

Now I am pleased to represent this builder!  Webb-Beatty Homes has nearly a decade of experience building custom Lexington homes in a number of  subdivisions and on private lots in the surrounding counties. They are currently building in four Lexington subdivisions: The Home Place, Summerfield, Brighton East and Equestrian View.

Every Webb-Beatty home includes premium upgraded features to make it unique and special for each owner.  And while every home is different, below are some features that come standard in a Webb-Beatty Home in Summerfield, Brighton East and The Home Place.
