ADAMSONS: So Proud!

We did it! We finished another Home Makeover. We don't do this for recognition. We do it to give. We love it! We love the spirit that comes into our lives through these makeovers. We love the people. We love the feeling. Now, we get to enjoy. People are starting to pay attention. Starting to care. I am so so proud of Heart 2 Home. We started as a fluke idea and blossomed into what we are today.
We got news in August that Greg is a finalist for the National Association of Realtors Good Neighbor Award. It is for the work He's done with Heart 2 Home. If chosen as a winner Heart 2 Home would receive a $10,000 grant and would be great publicity for our little foundation. I am pretty excited about it all!
Here is the NAR press release that was sent out. "Daily Real Estate News August 19, 2009 Good Neighbor Finalists Announced Ten REALTORS® were announced today by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® as finalists for REALTOR® magazine’s 2009 Good Neighbor Awards.
