The RE/MAX metro Chicago real estate network took home three top honors during the sixth annual Chicago Agent Magazine Agents’ Choice Awards. The event was held Nov. 1 at the Snaidero Kitchen and Design Showroom at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. RE/MAX took home the coveted Best Brokerage Web Site award in addition to two others.

“This award is a key one,” said Casey Reagan, chief technology officer at RE/MAX Northern Illinois. “Consumers are becoming ever more selective about the websites they choose to engage throughout their search process, and this honor validates our ongoing commitment to provide a rewarding and comprehensive search experience.”

It’s critical, then, for real estate brokerages to have a top website that attracts both home buyers and sellers. The RE/MAX Northern Illinois website, illinoisproperty.com, does just that with its ability to search active MLS listings, off market listings (sold), rental listings, foreclosures, luxury homes and commercial properties. Visitors can also use the site to find real estate agents, including foreclosure and short sales experts. The site has nearly one million registered members and a technology platform that works 24/7 to match listings to buyers.

“It’s an honor to win this award,” Reagan added. “It is more evidence that our site is on target not only with consumers, but with our industry peers.”

This isn’t the first time that RE/MAX Northern Illinois has taken this award. RE/MAX also took home the Agents’ Choice Best Brokerage Web Site award in 2007, when the Agent Choice Awards first debuted, and then repeated wins in 2008 and 2009.

RE/MAX also captured awards in two other categories: Upper Bracket, Suburb, which is given to the real estate network that best serves suburban high-end buyers and sellers, and Industry MVP, Suburb, which honored John Spillane, an agent with RE/MAX in the Village, Oak Park.

The Chicago Agent Magazine Agents’ Choice Awards event is a popular annual awards ceremony held for real estate professionals, including agents, developers, builders and lenders in the city and suburbs. Winners are chosen based on the number of votes received from the publication’s readers.

The RE/MAX Northern Illinois network consists of 2,200 sales associates and 105 individually owned and operated RE/MAX offices that provide a full range of brokerage services throughout the northern one-third of Illinois.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – The global market for wall coverings, which includes diverse products such as wallpapers, wall tiles, interior paints, unframed mirrors, and wall panels, is expected to exhibit robust growth in years to come. Post-recession, recovery in the residential construction sector is expected to drive demand for wall coverings, particularly in large markets such as the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. With new product developments and market turnaround in the residential construction activity, the demand for wallpapers and decorative tiles is projected to expand.

Global market for wallpaper was back on the pathway of growth since the start of this decade. New technologies, such as digital printing and new patterns such as faux finishes, paved way for the growth of the segment. Also, with the impact of global economic downturn on the construction industry, consumers increasingly looked towards remodeling interiors instead of purchasing new houses, and wallpaper proved to be a sturdy value proposition for customers against a tough economic condition. In the years to come, it is estimated that new trends, such as introduction of wallpaper cutouts, removable wallpapers, mold-resistant, and low-emission wallpapers, would aid in increasing the demand for wallpapers. In addition to these features, growing concerns over ecological safety of wall coverings have led manufacturers to search for innovative alternatives which are both eco-friendly and efficient. This factor is also expected to play a major role in propelling the demand for wallpapers, and increase the segment’s market share in the upcoming years.

Global architectural coatings market, on the other hand, is exhibiting diverse trends in different regions, with boom in some and very little to nil/declining growth in some regions. Innovation occupies the driver’s seat in the architectural coatings market. Noteworthy innovations playing an important role in the marketplace includes the launch of low odor paints, low VOC products, Chalkboard paints, among others. Apart from innovations, companies are trying to increase market share by adopting various positioning strategies, which play on aesthetic perceptions and emotions of customers. For instance, some players in the paints market are experimenting with customization by allowing customers to mix and choose their shades from large assortments. Others are trying to bring in niche marketing and direct marketing into their business practices to tighten their grip on customer segments. Through these practices, paint manufacturers hope to hold to their positions and come out in ‘flying colors’.

Europe and Asia-Pacific constitute two of the largest regional markets worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Wall Coverings. Intra-European market for wall coverings has a huge potential. Major exporter of ceramic tiles in the intra-European market is Italy. Quality, design, and technological innovation give a winning edge and are instrumental in vaulting the Italian ceramic tile industry to the top position in the global arena. Italian ceramic tiles enjoy an unparalleled reputation in the mosaic and monocottura tile segments. About 71% of the total production of ceramic tile industry in Italy is exported, and this accounts for 40% of the international trade in the world. Italian tiles are in demand in France, Germany, other European countries, and the US. In terms of the most promising growth potential, Asia-Pacific, backed by China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and others, is the clear winner, and is forecast to expand at a CAGR of more than 4.15% through 2017. China is one of the major producers of building materials and ranks first in the production of ceramic tiles on a global level, with Shanghai as one of the largest commercial centers for the production of building materials. Latin America displays a positive note with booming markets, such as Brazil and Chile, boding bright prospects for architectural coatings.

The Interior Paints segment continues to hold sway as the single largest market. However, with changing consumer preferences, Wallpaper is forecast to make a comeback after years of suspended activity and profits, and register a rapid CAGR over the analysis period. Untapped regions such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East, which have traditionally been strong markets for interior paints, display huge potential for future growth and expansion of wall papers segment as well. Wall Tiles market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.42% through 2017.

Key market participants profiled in the report include Crossville Inc., Dal-Tile Corp., Emilceramica S.p.A, Grupo Porcelanite S.A., Internacional de Ceramica S.A. de C.V., Johnson Tiles, Marazzi Group SpA, Brewster Home Fashions, F. Schumacher & Company, Johns Manville, Omnova Solutions Inc., Pacific Wallcoverings Limited, Seabrook Wall coverings Inc., The Designtex Group, Omega National Products, The Sherwin-Williams Company, Duron Paints & Wall Coverings, among others.

The research report titled “Wall Coverings: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market overview, issues & trends, product overview, recent industry activity, product innovations and profiles of market players worldwide. Analysis and overview is presented for the period 2009-2017 for major geographic markets, such as the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, The Middle East, and Latin America. Market analytics are provided in terms of value (US$ ) for product segments, including Wallpaper, Interior Paint, Wall Tiles, and Wall Panels.

VIP Suite and Press Box

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Dave Giffen, President and CEO of American Press Box(APB), believes combining VIP suites with press boxes can be beneficial for many high school football programs. He explained, “The concept is not right for every high school football program. On the other hand, schools with strong fan bases and ongoing support from alumni can definitely create a new revenue stream through the addition of VIP Suites to the press box facility and bleacher, grandstand complex.”

Professional and college programs have been earning literally millions of dollars over the past 30 years offering suites to their corporate fans. The cost of construction however has made the concept unrealistic at the high school level. Giffen explained the cost to construct a VIP Suite, “Adding a VIP Suite to an existing grandstand can be an expensive proposition when doing so requires on-site construction. For example a small, simple 10’ by 10’ addition can cost as much as $ 90,000. Our turnkey process, using a prefabricated suite, is half the cost. When combined with the addition of a press box a 10’ by 10’ suite addition can be as low as $ 20,000.”

On the revenue side of the equation Giffen says the cost can be recovered in three to five years, “The time frame for recovering the cost and generating revenue depends largely on the financial strength of the fan base and alumni support. A 10’ x10’ suite can be sold on an individual or corporate basis and easily generate $ 5,000 annually.“

The width of a standard suite from APB is 10’ and the length is typically quoted in 10’ increments. Custom sizes are commonly quoted. The interiors are all custom designed per the buyers specs. “Virtually anything that is desired for functionality or appearance can be added,” said Giffen.

Giffen explained the ideal time to add suites to a high school football grandstand or bleacher complex is when adding or replacing the press box. “Many schools find their grandstand long outlives the original press box and it needs to be replaced. Potential liability issues are a very common reason for replacing old, unsafe press boxes. The economics for VIP suites make the most sense when building a completely new press box or replacing an existing structure. The added cost for the VIP suites can be offset relatively quickly. A new, and substantial revenue stream will be seen within 5 years. Bottom line is aggressive athletic departments and booster clubs can benefit from VIP suites.”

APB is the only supplier of prefabricated press boxes that offers a turnkey process from design to final installation. There is no need to pay for design work or hire general contractors. Giffen says the turnkey process is one of the main reasons their press boxes (and suites) are so cost competitive, “We coordinate everything from design to manufacturing to installation. Our customers have one point of contact for every piece of the construction including the under-structure.”

Giffen also pointed out the timeline from inception to final walk through and opening day is shortened, “We are very focused on this business and therefore we are able leverage our experience on virtually every job. This experience cuts the completion time down dramatically. Our standard designs can be installed in less than 12 weeks from the date of order.

APB recently created a website (http://www.americanpressbox.com) to showcase their designs. Visitors can see a variety of press boxes and VIP suite concepts. The website is a good resource for anyone considering adding a press box or VIP suite to a grandstand complex.

APB focuses on press boxes, concession stands, storage facilities, restrooms, and ticket booths for both college and high school football complexes.

(PRWEB UK) 13 May 2012

1 May was World Asthma Day and with 5.4 million people affected by asthma in the UK, HomeServe has compiled some useful spring cleaning tips on how to improve your home environment for asthma sufferers.

How to get rid of dust mites

Dust mites in a mattress can be a trigger point for asthma. You can clean your mattress by sprinkling a generous amount of bicarbonate of soda over the entire surface. For best results, do this first thing in the morning and leave it for the full day; the bicarbonate of soda will draw out dirt, moisture and odours from the mattress. At the end of the day, vacuum the mattress thoroughly, ensuring you’ve removed all the bicarbonate of soda. It’s useful to carry out this routine every 3 months. If you suffer from extreme asthma, try covering your pillows and mattress with dust proof covers.

Keeping dust at bay

When cleaning our homes, we often sweep dust off surfaces and into the air, leaving it to settle on the floor. There’s a simple trick you can use when dusting, which will get rid of the dust for good. Place a hand held attachment onto your vacuum and hold in the air while you dust – you’ll brush the dust straight into the vacuum.

Dusting hard to reach places

Not all places are easy to reach to remove dust, like behind heavy furniture and inside crevices. Try placing a hand held attachment onto your vacuum, making it easier to reach these areas. If your hand held attachment is too wide to fit behind furniture, try wrapping a damp cloth around a narrow long item, such as a stick or even a metal coat hanger, stretched out to full length. You could even try a small, damp paint brush to get into those hard to reach crevices.

How to remove mould

Mould can also be a hassle for asthma sufferers. To help get rid of mould in your home, fill a spray bottle with equal parts vinegar and water, then add lemon juice for a fresh smell. Spray the area affected and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Take a small hand brush and scrub the area before rinsing off the solution. The bathroom is the most common place for mould to build up, as mould spores can’t grow without moisture. To prevent occurrence in problem areas, remember to wipe dry after each use.

About HomeServe

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

It’s a fact. Many people are struggling just to make ends meet in the face of today’s depressed economic situation. It can be a stressful time when thinking about the conditions of this country’s economy and the fact that it doesn’t seem that things will get much better in the near future. The housing market is still not fairing very well, the stock market is down, the national debt is up and there doesn’t seem to be any jobs available.

Oakland, MI (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

The growing trend towards natural foods and healthy living choices is about to get a hands on test from a skeptical baby boomer who has had enough with yo-yo dieting and junk food.

Remember Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me movie and his experiment to see what would happen if he only ate food from McDonalds? At the end of 30 days, he was so sick he was advised to stop the experiment.

But what would happen if – instead of fast food – someone were to eat only good-for-you food? Nutritious food, organic fruits and vegetables supplemented, when needed, by the right vitamins and minerals.

That’s the quest veteran journalist Mike Wendland has begun with a project called Super Healthy Me, to be chronicled online through a website and blog that will allow people to follow the project through every possible form of social media.

And that’s only fitting as Wendland, a correspondent on NBC-TV stations across the country since 1994, is known as PC Mike because of his expertise in computers, gadgets and the Internet.

“I have no idea what to expect,” said Wendland. “I will stick to this plan for at least 90 days and detail every part of it. I suspect there’s a lot of other people like me who are wondering of all this natural food hype is the real deal.”

Wendland got his inspiration from Super Size Me, and more recent films such as Food, Inc., King Corn and Food Matters.

“We have an epidemic of obesity in this nation because the majority of food we buy in the supermarket and sold at most restaurants is simply not very good for us,” he contends. “We have chickens raised in windowless warehouses. Cows are fed corn instead of grasses and then infused with massive amounts of antibiotics to keep them from getting sick. Commercially grown fruits and vegetables are sprayed with insecticides, fungicides and poisons that contaminate the very ground they are planted in. No wonder we’re sick and fat.”

Wendland, at 65 and now approaching his senior citizen years, has fought a lifelong battle with obesity, losing weight by dieting and exercise, only to gain it back.

“I know diets don’t work so I’m out to discover what will really happen if I make a change involving the type of food I eat.,” he says. “I’m going to test all the claims we keep hearing from these natural food boosters. I know what the old way got me. Let’s see if their way is really any better.”

Working with a nutrition coach, a medical doctor and a fitness adviser, he will follow a plan that involves whole, nutrient-rich foods, organically grown, supplemented as needed by vitamins, herbs and minerals.

“I’m as addicted to sugar as the next person, he said. “The thought of limiting my extra strong coffee intake is almost giving me the shakes. And I can’t believe life can exist without burgers. But I’m going to be so public with this that readers of my blogs and viewers of my YouTube videos are going to hold me accountable. Just what will happen if I only eat good food? We’ll all find out together.”

He will also incorporate lots of exercise into a fitness routine, including spinning classes, running, weight-lifting and endurance sports such as long distance cycling.

Wendland will blog his experiences at SuperHealthyMe.com and disseminate his every move a variety of social media tools. He will use Twitter to post the nutrition totals of each meal, the FourSquare location service to show his whereabouts, the photo sharing service Flickr to show what he is eating and YouTube videos for documentary-style reporting on his wellness quest.

Wendland began the project Nov. 3, 2011. He will be on the new program during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.

“I lot of people think I’m nuts for starting it now,” he said. “But I want the next phase of my lie to be vibrant and healthy. So if the claims about natural food are correct, then I want to find out. And there’s no better time than now.”

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

75 Clinton Street is the latest exceptional new building in Brooklyn which uses the Insurent Lease Guarantor Program to enable many renters to quickly and easily qualify for their apartment.

The demand to live in the attractive and convenient neighborhoods of Brooklyn, like Brooklyn Heights, has increased markedly over the last 18 months, and at the same time the quality of the new developments is often as excellent as anywhere in NYC. Many of the new luxury rental developments, like 75 Clinton Street, were originally planned as condos and were built with the high end condo specs.

Andrew Barrocas who is President of MNS explains, “A few Brooklyn developments like 75 Clinton Street were financed and built with high end condo specifications including unusually large layouts, outdoor space, and very high end finishes and appliances. As a result, the renters are offered unique, high quality rental apartments which are as nice as any condo.”

75 Clinton Street has many features which may particularly appeal to renters. Unlike most rental buildings, 75 Clinton has 10 foot ceilings and large windows with open views which gives each apartment a very spacious and attractive feel. Other features in the building are health club, storage lockers and roof deck with dramatic NY views. Convenient to many subway lines, it also offers a quick and easy commute to Manhattan for work or play.

75 Clinton street is managed by Milestone Management, L.P. with The Marketing Directors doing the leasing of the studio, one, two, and three bedroom apartments.

Charles Schoenau, Managing Director of Insurent, added: “ By accepting the Insurent Lease Guaranty Program, 75 Clinton Street will be able to give more international and credit-worthy domestic renters the opportunity to quickly qualify for and get an apartment at 75 Clinton Street. Large numbers of US and foreign young professionals, international and US students, wealthy foreigners, self-employed, retirees, and well-off individuals with good credit are unable to qualify without Insurent. That problem can now be easily solved for the benefit of all.”

ABOUT INSURENT LEASE GUARANTY

The Insurent Lease Guaranty Program was created to serve renters, landlords, condo/coop owners, and brokers and relocation specialists by offering the first institutional guarantor of residential leases. The Insurent Lease Guaranty Program has been featured in the New York Times, The Real Deal, The New York Real Estate Journal, Real Estate Weekly and Multi-Housing News.

The Insurent Lease Guaranty Program is underwritten and issued by Argonaut Insurance Company, a property and casualty insurance company rated A (Excellent) by A. M. Best. Instead of looking for an individual guarantor or co-signer, or having to pay a significantly larger security deposit or prepaid rent, a renter may utilize the Insurent Lease Guaranty to satisfy the landlord’s financial and credit requirements.

As part of this research they thoroughly analyzed the leading golf simulators in the industry for equipment they could use in their performance centers. Titleist concluded that the HD Golf™ solution was ideal for their demanding needs and that the computer vision based ball and club tracking was more accurate and technologically advanced than any other golf simulator system previously tested. And, the system was intuitive, easy-to-use and measured the performance of every club, shaft and ball tested in the simulator environment – presenting the team at Titleist with shot analysis and club fitting data in a highly organized manner on the systems’ large screen (and touchscreen).

High Definition Golf™ pioneered computer vision technology for the golf simulator industry, and their systems make more measurements more accurately than any other simulator currently on the market. These include distance (carry and roll), ball speed, club-head speed, efficiency (“smash factor”), launch angle, swing-path (outside/in, inside/out), club head angle at impact, ball position (re: club-head at impact) and ball spin and spin axis. The simulator will also measure angle of attack, club head acceleration, position of maximum club head speed, club head speed at impact and swing tempo. HD Golf™ is also the only simulator with the unique capability to dynamically measure shaft flex and load factor, allowing club fitters and manufacturers to make precise shaft recommendations. The simulators are also equipped with a series integrated diagnostic tools used for professional golf instruction including video swing analysis and weight transfer/balance.

Realism was also a key-deciding factor for the evaluation team at Titleist. The championship courses and ranges are reproduced so realistically, that it would be easy to forget that you were actually playing indoors. For Titleist, HD Golf™ also recreated their outdoor test facility in Carlsbad, by combining digital images, satellite and geophysical data to produce a 3D model of the facility that looks and plays like the real thing.

“As technology leaders and innovators in the golf simulator industry, we are very focused on delivering the best simulator solution and tools for our clients. Be it a leading golf equipment manufacturer such as Titleist, a PGA Tour player, or a luxury homeowner and golf enthusiast trying to improve their game at home,” said Todd Richardson, President & CEO.
