Real Estate Webmasters Website Raffle by Team Eric
By Eric Blackwell on May 2, 2008 in Life
First of all, we won the Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World SEO contest. With that win came a great prize, a website and IDX created by Real Estate Webmasters and donated by Morgan Carey.
It is one of their template websites with a CORE IDX (awesome) and comes with free hosting for life. This is several thousand dollars worth of real estate site! VERY COOL.
As part of the contest, we connected with the Eco Preservation Society in Costa Rica. They are a non-profit who is concerned with conservation of the rain forest and the other wildlife rich areas of Costa Rica. Here is more about them!
Here is a video about them:
We would like to raise money for them, so here’s how we are going to do it!

We debated back and forth over the best way to convert the prize over for the charity. The raffle idea seemed like the best way to do it.
Big thumb’s up to Morgan for his quite generous prize!
Now - time to buy some raffle tickets! Good luck to all raffle participants as well.

Congratulations again to team Eric. This is a great idea.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of raffle tickets or is it as many as you can sell by June 1. Hey I lived in Las Vegas for 23 years so it’s natural for me to immediately consider the odds of winning.

Dennis, we haven’t created a “minimum” so the more the merrier! It is a great prize but we also want to raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause.

Thank you everyone for support. We are so please that those of you in the real estate community are standing up to support us in this worthwhile cause.
Not only is the Saving Mono Titi a worthwhile project, it is provides an excellent opportunity for Realtors to grow in their careers and learn more about sustainable development practices. Not only is this a great story to share your involvement will establish your leadership in the environmental movement in the eyes of your customers.
We have a real opportunity to make a real difference. Thank you everyone for getting involved. We look forward to seeing you all down here in wonderful Costa Rica.

@John-THANKS! I appreciate your support.
@Milan–The EPS will not discriminate at all. They will even pick Oregonian’s names out of the hat…(just kidding Milan). Thanks for entering!

This is really cool. I think actions like this(basically donating a pretty significant prize to charity) help the reputation of our whole industry. You rock team Eric.

Eric,
please confirm that I did not process a transaction twice.
I am glad to help just don’t want to double up - my paypal account was ancient and too many things had to be updates.
Thanks and congrats again to you and your team!!

The drawing was moved back to July 1 to allow a few more folks to donate…(no more chances–grin–now or never!) It will be announced here right after that!
Don’t worry…we will be letting the world know about it.
Best;
Eric
