Attached was the door hanger that drove traffic to YOUR home! ALL were welcome to participate by setting up shop and selling to passers-by. We promoted this to all papers and news/online outlets as well.

Happy de-cluttering! Let me know if you’d like me to stop by for a free consultation on Spring Cleaning

CLICK HERE for a map showing all the locations listed below. Addresses were updated routinely throughout the day.

I will be posting Yard Sale directional signs on all major streets (Alameda, Downing, University, etc.) but only have 25 or so… If I drive traffic into the neighborhood, please feel free to post your own signs at the end of your blocks to drive traffic to your home.

LETTER TO PARTICIPANTS ON THURSDAY, MAY 6 8:15 a.m. and FAQs

Howdy All ~

First of all, to those of you who reached out to me to have your home featured on the web site www.DenverLifestyle.com, a big “Thank You!”  To a couple of others bcc’d, it’s not too late to join, tell a neighbor or to share this in your media outlet!

It’s nice to see our neighborhood come together and work as one    Thank you for making that possible.

I can’t imagine how great we are all going to feel after Saturday’s sale.  Imagine Sunday… once the house-cleaning / de-cluttering is done, the organizing is over, a little cash is in our pockets (doesn’t hurt) and we can just rest and enjoy a day off!   Weather is currently predicted to be “Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 60s.” http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/80209)

MAP/SITE ~ If your home is not on the site, please let me know.  If it is on the site, it will already be on or be added to the map link a couple of times a day.  You can have your sale in your yard or garage… your call, just post a sign

SIGNS ~ I am having 20 signs printed to advertise the neighborhood yard sale.  I am going to post these on Lincoln, Alameda, Downing, University, etc… the major traffic streets surrounding and through our neighborhood.  I will post these at as many major intersections as I have signs.  As we have over 25 homes in the sale now (and growing every hour), I can’t possibly put up signs throughout the neighborhood too, so please feel free to put up a couple of your own cardboard / Home Depot / generic yard sale signs to route to your home the traffic I’ve sent into Washington Park side streets.

ONLINE MARKETING ~ In addition to e-mailing an announcement out to the 1,222 members of www.IloveWashPark.com and the I Love Wash Park Facebook fan page (it’s free to join both), as well as the 250+ www.facebook.com/DenverLifestyleFans, we’ll also have a yard sale flier in all the Home Tour souvenir bags and an ad in the Home Tour brochure (along with the 4,000 door hangers that might have grabbed your attention).  In addition, this sale was featured on thisweekindenver.com and in a number of other media outlets and e-mail newsletters.  I’ve shared this with friends in the TV news business trying for a little Saturday morning mention.

CRAIGSLIST:  I encourage every one of you to add a free little ad on http://denver.craigslist.org and multiply our results with a joint effort.  Help your neighbors by pointing out there is a map to all participating homes posted at www.DenverLifestyle.com

TIME ~ The sale is advertised as being 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  Obviously, you can be out for as long or as little of that as you like.  It was designed to be only until 2:00 so that folks would still have a chance to visit the Steele Elementary School benefit home tour of Washington Park Homes (www.washparkhometour.org).

AGENTS: We are bringing together a group of Denver real estate agents who are:

• leaders;
• connected to / friends with 100s of quality professionals in Denver;
• motivated by helping others and not by personal greed or entitlement;
• not afraid of mopping floors and painting walls to help a client move a home;
• genuinely interested in the well-being of their clients;
• known to become good friends with their clients during the search for or sale of a home;
• driven to give back to the community, whether formally via charities and volunteering or by making the lives of others better;
• fed up with other real estate agents in town who appear entitled, unqualified and lazy;
• and (I consider this a given) extremely knowledgeable wrt homes, negotiating deals, etc. aka darn good at what they do.

Denver Lifestyle™ was chosen as the name because none of us JUST buy or sell homes. We organize trips, happy hours, ski, camp and throw charity events. To us, that’s all a part of the Denver Lifestyle™ and why someone would want to move to or within Denver ~ to be a part of that! We do our own fix and flips, help investors find REO properties and then chat up their success and reputation at wine tastings. We help families find good schools and first time single home buyers find parties and new circles of friends. That’s all a part of the Denver Lifestyle™. We throw CrAzY big Halloween parties ~ just because we can and someone should.

CONNECTIONS: NO OTHER FIRM in town offers to help a buyer or seller not only find or sell a home, but also to connect you with a job lead, a chiropractor, a plumber, a non-profit, a new employee and/or a ski buddy. We naturally do that, and our firm will make our agents KNOWN for doing that. People will seek them out for what they already do because the whole firm will be branded with this expertise, this level of caring and this depth of connection to the community.

DENVER LIFESTYLE tm SEARCH ENGINE: Instead of merely searching for homes by number of beds, baths, etc., online buyers will be able ADD TO THAT criteria to create a search for e.g. a $450,000 home within a 20 minute commute time of the airport within .5 miles of 3 coffee shops and a grocery store, .4 miles of a park with an elementary school rated 8 out of 10 or better. Want to search for a home by number of houses with kids, education level, median income or median age? You will be able to do that with us. “Wow.” C’mon, I heard you think it…

NEIGHBORHOOD BONUS: We own over 450 web sites related to Denver: 250 of which are tied directly to specific real estate search phrases. EVERY single one of these can and will have a unique home page and supporting pages relating to e.g. homes near great schools in Hilltop, Coffee in Sloans Lake, etc. with homes that match that specific criteria pre-fed to the site as a starting point along with all pertinent school, grocery store, coffee shop, hardware store, etc information imaginable.

LISTINGS: Any trained monkey can offer a web site for a home. You will stand out as each and every one of your listings can proudly display school, amenity and other lifestyle information fueled by data feeds no other company in Denver is offering right now. This information answers the unasked questions of buyers, sells homes and wins you clients.

NEW AGENTS: You will have more fun making more money here than you will anywhere else you can possibly work in real estate – just by being YOU. Period. We are going to connect you with more people like you (and you like you, don’t you?), we are going to connect you to more resources than you imagined possible, we are going to build an online presence that is unique in Denver and 100% in parallel with your company and personal brand.
