The parade website (which is currently under construction) will feature google maps, detailed informaton about the homes in the parade & much more. A new feature of the map will allow you to create your route based on which homes you want to tour!

Local builders have been hard at work and you will not be disappointed in the parade this year!

Contact the Johnston County Home Builders Association for more information at 919-938-4927.

       It’s my personal favorite time of year (with the exception of my Birthday and Christmas of course) in which we get to work our BIZ and builders get to show off their “stuff” as much as possible! I am so excited this year to list a 2010 Parade Home located in the well established yet still growing Elliott’s Landing subdivision. Located just off of Hwy 55 in Fuquay-Varina this home has all the amenities of a custom “McMansion” packaged in an impressive, affordable, package  Featuring cathedral ceilings, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, huge island, stone fireplace in living room and screened porch, Huge master bedroom with glamour bath, gorgeous tile and much more! Bonus room with Wet-Bar, Office with built in storage, secondary bedrooms with well decorated shared bath…what more could you ask for! Built by a local, high quality custom builder David Carroll you will not be disappointed in the workmanship or warranty.

       All of this located in a neighborhood featuring a community pond, play area, bike racks & much more! Convenient to shopping, dining and some of the best venues Fuquay-Varina has to offer. The Parade of Homes will run from October 2nd through the 16th and homes will be open from 1pm -5pm with agents & some builders on site to answer any of your questions about the homes or local market. Be sure to bring your camera as you can always obtain great decorating, building & staging ideas while touring the homes.

I am keeping a promise! I was very fortunate that a very nice ActiveRain Rep set me back to RAINMAKER status as long as I promised to fulfill my duty as a RAINMAKER and continue to post relevant, important & entertaining content for my audience J I have been in several classes/seminars lately that have refueled my passion for blogging. 

I did not realize how much I MISSED Activerain until it was "taken away".  I truly plan to be back and back for good with tons of interesting content!

So while I pledge to do my part in keeping you entertained, I am interested in writing about what you are interested in reading.  Please tell me what you enjoy seeing the most?  I am going to start focusing on getting the word out about FABULOUS communities in our area where I market as well as local events, local business opportunities and so forth. 

Therefore, I hereby promise to keep writing if you promise to keep reading!!!
