Home Builders and Remodelers of Fairfield County has been recognized with a HOBI Award - “Best Promotion Event for a Spec Home” for its 1st Annual Home Tour.
The April 2017 event drew hundreds of visitors to four new luxury homes built by HBRA members in Darien and Greenwich and priced at $2.2 million to $6.7 million. The Home Tour Committee—made up of interior designers, architects, builders, and home staging experts - promoted the event, the participating builders and their homes, in transit posters, CTC&G Magazine, social media and more.
The results were impressive . . .
Three out of the four homes sold within three weeks of the tour dates, and ticket proceeds, totaling $5,000, were presented to two charities – the Fairfield County Community Foundation and PSC Partners Seeking A Cure.
There is so much good that came out of the 2017 home tour. Besides meeting amazing people, we received a lot of great publicity. - Ken DeLeo, Doherty & DeLeo Development.
The Fairfield County HBRA Home Tour is an opportunity for the public to view state-of-the-art luxury homes just coming to market. During the Saturday and Sunday event, the builders, as well as many suppliers and subcontractors for the homes, are on site to provide tours and answer questions.
“Our mission is to promote, protect and improve the building industry in Connecticut,” said Jackie L. Bertolone, the newly hired Executive Officer for HBRA Fairfield County. This Exclusive Home Tour is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the stunning new construction homes our members build. We were honored to receive the HOBI award and we look forward to receiving new builder applications for the 2018 Exclusive Home Tour.”
The 2nd Annual Exclusive Home Tour will be held June 23-24 with a special VIP night on Friday, June 22nd. For more information visit www.fairfieldcountyhometour.com.
