This weekend is the Homes for the Holidays event in Vancouver, BC with the proceeds going to Kids Help Phone. I’m surprised I don’t see more Realtors supporting this event as it is a great way for your clients to see some fantastic professionally designed homes on the west side of Vancouver. For a $40 donation you can tour 5 really great houses. I have been the last few years and really enjoyed it. For more details check out the Kids Help Phone website.

This week’s site of the week is Andrewcarros.com. The website has a Google page rank of 2/10 and an Alexa rank (What is the Alexa Rank?) of 12,959,041.
For those of you who do not know Andrew Carros he is a Realtor based in Vancouver who specializes in selling attached and detached homes. He is also part of a group called The Carros Group alongside his partners Greg and David.
The custom design of the site follows the Sothebys branding. Great work with the slideshow and the high definition photos! He is taking advantage of the open house feature built into the Ubertor sytem.
Great information about The Carros Group and about Andrew is found throughout the site. You can see the great quality of pictures used in the site. Great photos and a very nice copy.
Another thing I like about the site is his Projects page. He is showcasing developments all across Canada. When you click on these links you’ll get these nice logos, photos and details. If you go down to where it says request info, your default email program will pop up for you to email him your questions about the project.
Keep up the great work Andrew.
