Luxury Home Marketing Group Discuss Importance of
First Impressions in July Meeting

(Raleigh, NC) – Members of the Raleigh-based, Luxury Home Marketing Group reviewed the importance of first impressions during the July meeting. Guest speaker Nancy Fields of Midtown Shade and Shutter (on Facebook) shared her experience with client-feedback on window treatments, as a contractor and interior design professional.

"Realtors frequently talk about 'curb appeal' when discussing a home's potential," said LHMG Vice-President Jill Rekuc. "That's half the story with windows, because of the exterior AND interior appeal. Nancy reviewed some innovative ideas appropriate for the Luxury Home marketplace, which add value and beauty to the home's presentation."

July's tour of member homes included properties represented by Linda Bird Kolarov (3812 Glen Iris Lane, Glenlake South, Raleigh & 5212 Newstead Manor Lane, Newstead Manor, Raleigh); Kathy Beacham (7025 Copperleaf Place, Copperleaf, Cary); Kimberly Conroy (3213 Mossy Ridge Court, Parker Falls, Raleigh) and Lindsay Taylor (1104 Silver Oaks Court, River Oaks, Raleigh). See a feature of each tour home below.
