Oprah & Ellen Inspire Local Holiday Cheer – “Just-Like Oprah” Program A Big Hit With Home Buyers










Holliston, MA (PRWEB) December 13, 2004

The fact that Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneris surprise their audience with gifts around the holidays, inspired one of MA most innovative real estate firms, Brick House Realty, to bring this example of kindness locally by creating the “Just-Like Oprah” program.

“We obviously don’t have the resources Oprah does but we at Brick House Realty wanted to be able to give something back to our communities that was a bit on the extravagant side, “ shares founder Maria Salomão-Schmidt. The BHR team has come up with the idea of giving away hundreds of $ 500 gift cards. Clients create their own ”gifts package” by spending $ 500 any way they like at the following companies: Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, Sears, Target, Pottery Barn and Circuit City. In order to promote outstanding local businesses BHR included dry cleaning company, Excellent Cleaners, (http://www.excellentcleaners.com). Most people are also surprised to see The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on the list. “We added the IRS because many of us could use some (unexpected) help with our tax bill,” says Salomão-Schmidt. “We wanted to find things that add value to our clients and leave them with a happy feeling. It’s about giving something that has real meaning.”

To get $ 500 in gift cards one must put in an accepted offer through Brick House Realty by Jan 15 and close by February 15, 2005. To get started, simply log on to the BHR website, http://www.BrickHouseRealty.com and sign up to look at homes. It is completely free to use.

Brick House Realty is one of the only socially responsible real estate firms created to simplify and electrify the home buying and selling process for professional women and their families. Its agents serve home buyers and sellers all over Massachusetts. Because one of its main goals is being an educational resource, BHR focuses on leveraging the latest technology and simplifying it for the consumer. Brick House Realty also donates 5% of its profits to local charities.
