THE BIRMINGHAM SHOWHOUSE - PHILANTHROPY REMAINS STRONG DURING TOUGH TIMES

Wellington Chase Homes, in conjunction with Weir Manuel Realtors and several other local corporate sponsors, is currently constructing a magnificent new home in Birmingham. Known as the Birmingham Showhouse, it will be completed next month and, when sold, all profits from the sale will be donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute. This home is value priced at $1,395,000. Due to the variety of subsidized and/or donated materials and services, a home of this superb quality could not be duplicated at this price.

While the charity show home concept is not entirely new, what is unique about this project is that every penny of profit from the sale will be donated to charity. Prior endeavors of this nature have donated preview event receipts and portions of profits, but I believe that generosity of this magnitude has not occurred with prior projects. It speaks highly of the real estate industry that even in such difficult economic times, a company would go out of its way to support such a worthy cause.

We have always known Wellington Chase Homes for their outstanding quality and attention to detail. Now we know also them for their philanthropy. And the same goes for the rest of the sponsors.

I encourage all of you to help us promote this property by inviting your preferred clients to the Charity Preview, by attending yourselves, and by showing the home to your qualified prospects. This is an opportunity to create a truly winning opportunity for everyone involved. The purchaser of this home will acquire a very special property at a special price and also receive the benefit of helping cancer research and treatment. This is a legacy that will follow this home forever.

Please see Rebecca Meisner if you would like formal invitations to the Charity Preview for your clients.
