<p class="releaseDateline">Tubac, Arizona (PRWEB) February 15, 2012 </p>
<p> For over 50 years,  the Tubac Festival of the Arts in Tubac, Arizona has been a magnet for art lovers from around the world and for good reason according to Steve Gold Productions, a  NY based company that filmed the event.  A mild February  made this historic colonial village a delightful refuge from winter&#8217;s chill and the art that was presented this year was particularly inspiring. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The 2012 Art Festival  brought more than 10,000 visitors a day to the historic town to stroll the outdoor galleries and feast at local eateries.  While the show is juried for quality, it is quite eclectic.  Serious paintings share the street with whimsical sculptures and New Age music. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Tubac Festival has the distinction of being  the longest running event of its kind in the southwest.    </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Located just 30-minutes south from the Tucson airport, Tubac has been a day-trip destination for Arizonans at all times of year, ever since artists started their migration to live and work here in the 1950’s.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In fact, the favorable climate, clear air and beautiful vistas are also why more and more winter visitors are abandoning Scottsdale and Tucson for this idyllic high desert resort area.   </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Today there are more than 80 galleries and shops throughout the village that showcase fine paintings and sculpture, Native American imagery, cowboy art and exceptional local crafts.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>According to Kim Roseman owner of the K. Newby Gallery which has just expanded this year to a 4,900 square foot building with sculpture garden: “Tubac is unique in Arizona. There’s no other town as beautifully situated where you can literally walk from one end to the other.  We&#8217;re so pleased that this year&#8217;s festival brought so many new art lovers to our town”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Accomodations for visitors to the festival were varied.   Although there are a few small guest houses in Tubac, the local golf club is the only resort hotel, so home owners have an incentive to rent their houses or condos. Embarcadero is a town home community that is particularly popular with art lovers.  It has landscaped walkways, a beautiful pool with spa and fully equipped work-out room. It’s become the most popular vacation listing on VRBO, the premiere vacation rental site online. (http://www.vrbo.com/142455). </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Aside from the great weather, Tubac is blessed with the majestic Santa Rita Mountains as a backdrop and as the region continues to attract winter visitors more services catering to discerning vacationers are appearing so undoubtedly the festival will keep growing. Today there are many fine restaurants, two world-class spas, a 27-hole golf course, tennis, horseback riding and undeniably the best hiking trails in the region.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Lake Travis</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Austin, Texas (PRWEB) September 12, 2011 </p>
<p> Regent Property Group is pleased to announce the launch of its new website focused on Lake Travis homes for sale. In addition to a powerful property search functionality for Lake Travis real estate, FindLakeTravisHomes.com serves as a single point of reference for potential home buyers, residents, and visitors. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Austin Realtor Brian Talley led the development of the new site to equip home buyers with the information they need to make an informed purchase. “This is a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to learn more about what Lake Travis has to offer. Our goal was to compile practical information and then make it accessible. I’m pleased to know home buyers can come here with ease to find everything they need to make an educated Lake Travis home purchase.” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Lake Travis is a large lake of almost 19,000 acres with 270 miles of shoreline. To help facilitate a clear and concise overview of lakefront living, the new site organizes communities by region: north shore Lake Travis and south shore Lake Travis. In this format, nine Lake Travis neighborhoods (Lakeway, Spicewood, Briarcliff, Jonestown, Hudson Bend, Lago Vista, Pointe Venture, Volente and Lower Basin) are detailed with pertinent facts and figures, including date established, average home price, population, local amenities, miles from downtown Austin, MLS Map Location, school district, neighborhood home builders, and number of homes. Lake Travis restaurants also are outlined within the site. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In addition, site visitors will find easy access to information for water enthusiasts. Dozens of Lake Travis marinas and Lake Travis boat ramps are listed, organized according to location and detailed with phone numbers, websites, and physical addresses. Both sections are equipped with a map outlining the precise location of each facility. Whether boating on Lake Travis for the day or boarding a boat overnight, Lake Travis boaters will learn exactly where to take off and land. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With so many areas and attractions along the shores of Lake Travis, it can often seem like a daunting task to access information relevant to lakefront living. Regent Property Group’s new Find Lake Travis Homes website has consolidated everything important to know about Lake Travis homes for sale, offering an exceptional amount of detail within a highly accessible format. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About Regent Property Group LLC&#13;<br />
<br />While working for a Fortune 100 firm as a Vice President of Global Real Estate and Facilities, Regent Property Group founder Brian Talley noticed the deficiency of highly experienced and trained corporate and commercial real estate executives serving the residential real estate industry. Realizing there was a need to be filled, Talley left the Fortune 100 firm and formed Regent Property Group with the goal of providing top notch real estate services to not only the Austin commercial real estate industry but also to home buyers and sellers. Talley is included in Austin’s top tier of agents, facilitating multi-million dollars of real estate transactions each year.</p>

                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Wokingham, UK (PRWEB UK) 14 June 2011 </p>
<p> SociView™ has been publicly launched to support organizations in organizing their social-media landscape to instill best practice and generate sales opportunities. Founder Chris Sykes, Chief Executive of Volume Ltd, worked closely with large international organizations to address issues arising from marketing across social channels and identified a lack of social-media tools in their portfolios. Whilst in its beta phase, SociView™ has been used to help a number of Fortune 500 companies attain visibility across their organization’s social universe. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“The concept of SociView™ is simple: just ask yourself how many social-media accounts your company has. Where are they, who owns them and how effective are they? Are they representative of your brand and do they have a positive or negative influence? SociView™ answers all these questions”, said Sykes.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SociView™ collates a company’s social accounts and instances into a single dashboard. These instances are then individually categorized, ranked and rated to show relevance and impact on the brand. SociView™ categorizes each instance, as “official”, “endorsed”, “unofficial” or “other”. A custom-developed “Sociscore” is automatically applied to show how each instance is performing. Companies can benchmark their social accounts against each other to establish best practice, compliance and corporate governance. SociView™ also measures performance against competitors’ social accounts. Being able to easily assess the quality and effectiveness of company-owned social-media instances enables marketing executives to have greater control and influence on messaging and content.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Alan Rutherford, the current Chairman and Global President of the International Advertising Association and Chairman of Volume Ltd, is the chief advocate of SociView™:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“One of the key benefits of SociView™ is its ability to deliver a top-level view of an organization’s social-media landscape for CMOs whilst still enabling marketing executives to drill down to obtain granular detail.” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Key benefits of SociView™</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Organizing social-media real estate</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“If you look at your current social-media presence, it’s a bit like a swarm of hornets buzzing around. SociView™ brings order, effectively turning the random and uncontrolled spontaneity of social media into a productive and efficient line of worker ants. SociView™ helps you to consolidate and optimize your ‘sociverse’. Switch off the poor-performing accounts and invest in those that perform well and have a thriving and growing community,” said Sykes.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Instilling best practice and compliance across company-owned social instances</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Sociscore rating algorithm helps an organization to set quality and compliance benchmarks for social accounts and instances. Bringing all the accounts into line enables marketing executives to promote best practice across an organization. SociView™ can also create structure around the ownership and development of accounts, whilst ensuring corporate governance and benchmarking against competitor accounts. The Sociscore algorithm is calculated from four parameters common across mainstream social networks: relevance, activity, influence and visibility.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Opening up sales channels</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With most leading organizations turning to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube etc. to generate brand awareness and sales opportunities, SociView™ helps companies coordinate their messages and communications across all their “official” and “endorsed” instances, such as partner-owned social-media real estate. If revenues are down in a specific product or area, organizations can use SociView™ to focus on promoting the benefits of that product or service through the most visible and influential social channels. Furthermore, the tool can also uncover brand advocates and influencers who can assist in generating sales opportunities. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With a number of social-media listening and execution tools available in the market, SociView™ has been developed to offer a unique and complementary set of features. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Listening tools are essential in today’s digital environment, but they are a little like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. With SociView™, you know every horse in your stable and can train them to perform as you’d expect them to perform,” said Sykes.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Further information on features can be found on http://www.sociview.com </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About SociView™&#13;<br />
<br />Chris Sykes, Chief Executive of Volume, a leading independent digital hybrid agency, is the visionary behind SociView™. Through Volume he has founded and spearheaded the development of a number of enterprise software tools that are currently used by clients such as Oracle and Dell. Chris was also founder of Then UK Ltd, a Marketing Resource Management start-up that specialized in enterprise marketing management and marketing-automation tools. Then UK Ltd appeared on Gartner’s MRM Magic Quadrant in 2002 and was acquired by Aprimo Inc. in July 2004.</p>

<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Enfield, NH (PRWEB) February 07, 2012 </p>
<p> Leading Edge Design Group, a leading provider of data center design services, announced today that Tech Vault, Inc. has achieved LEED Silver certification through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, a voluntary rating system for energy efficient buildings overseen by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Tech Vault, Inc. is a provider of collocation, hosting, and managed services and is proud to be Vermont&#8217;s first commercial-grade, LEED certified data center. Leading Edge Design Group designed Tech Vault’s data center and led the LEED certification strategy and execution.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Our partnership with Leading Edge Design Group was critical to our business and certification success,” said Steve Loyer, President, of Tech Vault. “Renovating an existing facility, Vermont’s cooler climate, generous utility incentives, and attaining LEED certification were key factors in our design and implementation and we simply could not have done it without the great team of professionals at Leading Edge Design Group.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Tech Vault data center is now considered to be the most efficient data center in New England and features a 4,000 square foot server area and a separate 2,500 square foot area to house mechanical and electrical equipment. By taking advantage of Vermont’s Champlain Valley climate, Tech Vault uses water-side economization to cool the facility and innovative in-row cooling and heat recovery technologies providing customers unlimited power and cooling capabilities. In addition, real-time monitoring has been installed to track Power User Effectiveness (PuE) and to continuously benchmark their energy efficiency. Tech Vault customers include the regions data-intensive, industry-leading healthcare providers, educational institutions and software companies. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“The Tech Vault data center is a remarkable example of how an owner can successfully integrate sustainability and energy efficiency into their data center without compromising the reliability or agility of their operations,” says Todd Boucher, Principal at Leading Edge Design Group.  “Our organization is so proud to have played an integral role in bringing the vision for this unique facility to life and give a tremendous amount of credit to the Tech Vault team for their unwavering commitment to energy efficiency throughout this project.  We believe firmly that this ongoing commitment and the sustainable, efficient nature of the design establishes the Tech Vault facility as the most energy efficient data center in the region.” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Leading Edge Design Group worked closely with Efficiency Vermont to secure $  100,000 of energy efficiency incentives for the $  1.95 million project. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>

                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) January 14, 2012 </p>
<p> Totally Toronto Travel and City Guide has been launched and expects to shape the future of web tourism for the city of Toronto. With detailed articles and guides covering all aspects of the city of Toronto coupled with social media techniques, Totally Toronto leaves no industry unturned when it comes to promoting the city.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With a strong backbone and attention to detail, Totally Toronto is aptly designed. All of the topics are intricately connected to each other, allowing for easy flow through the site. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Totally Toronto starts the way it wants to finish…strongly and efficiently.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Totally Toronto is the baby sister to the highly successful Barbados Island Guide website, Totally Barbados. The founder, Brett Callaghan, revolutionized the way Barbados promotes online tourism. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>And after six years, the website can be found on the front page of every search engine and it was voted the World&#8217;s Leading Travel Destination Website for 2008, 2009 and 2010.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>After such success in his native home, and because of his roots in Toronto, Callaghan has set his sights on also promoting the city of Toronto to the world.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“As I have lived 12 years of my adult life in Toronto, I wanted to promote my second home and the city to the world, just as I do with my home country Barbados”.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Toronto is our first stop as we move across Canada, creating a detailed and informative Online Guide to promote every city throughout the country of Canada.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With a team of professional writers, articles are created for all topics that relate to the city of Toronto. You can find information about the city of Toronto, entertainment, restaurants and dining, to real estate, business, Toronto hotels and accommodation, attractions and so much more.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>But there is only so much room within each industry guide for businesses to play with. This has given TotallyToronto.net a competitive edge. With only twenty (20) photo ad-spots available on each page, it is first come, first serve, for any businesses wishing to become a premium member and join the efforts in promoting the city of Toronto to the world. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Unlike most websites, Totally Toronto has a &#8216;no banner&#8217; policy, so the only images viewers see are the colorful splashes made by the photo ad-spots.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Along with photo ad-spots, Totally Toronto clients also receive an interactive profile page. The profile page features their contact information, a brief bio, a Google map, and four photos of their choice. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Totally Toronto also allows for potential customers to connect with the client through the website. All of these features are available in customizable packages.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>These packages are well thought out between the Web Account Manager and the client. Totally Toronto prides itself on its flexibility with the main goal being to promote the company in a natural and precise manner.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Together, they find the best pages to advertise on for each company and it builds from there. You can also have the &#8216;Totally Team&#8217; write a bio or take professional photos for your company.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Getting a company successfully uploaded is only half of Totally Toronto&#8217;s job. The website has been designed for maximum Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Our social marketing team never stops promoting your business on every social medium, such as; Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Google +, Diigo, Delicious and LinkedIn. </p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">www.YouWalkAway.com</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) May 25, 2011 </p>
<p> One of the most cited deterrents of deciding whether or not to foreclose or strategically default is the fear of a catastrophic and irreversible hit to one&#8217;s credit score, leading to an inability to rent, purchase a new car or home, or open a new credit card.  After polling some of our 6,000 clients nationwide, YouWalkAway.com has discovered it&#8217;s a fear that may be blown way out of proportion. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Susan Edwards is a client of YouWalkAway.com, a company that walks defaulting homeowners through the foreclosure process.  Edwards recently walked away from a property in Southern California.  &#8220;Prior to missing our first payment, my credit score was 805,&#8221; Edwards stated &#8220;I checked it again in June after we missed the 5th payment and it was 680.  At the time, it was commonly reported that the average foreclosure would lower your credit score about 150 points.  I had assumed it would stay in that range for up to 7 years.  I was wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>So, what is Edwards credit score now?  According to Edwards, after only 3 months following the foreclosure auction of her property, her credit is back up to 734 and climbing. Fortunately, the hit taken to her credit was not nearly as bad as most people, including those who claim to be experts, might have depicted.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Edwards is not the only YouWalkAway.com client to see her credit rebound so quickly.  New York resident and YouWalkAway.com client Jodi Romanello has walked away from two investment properties in Florida.  While she has never closely monitored her credit score, Romanello has yet to see any negative repercussions of a credit drop.  &#8220;When I first skipped payments on my first foreclosure, CitiBank Diners Club abruptly canceled my card due to &#8216;undesirable changes in my credit rating,&#8217;&#8221; Romanello explained.  &#8220;I got very upset because I hadn&#8217;t thought this would happen, but to my enormous relief none of my other cards did this.  I have a high limit with American Express Gold, Visa, MasterCard and a lot of store cards, and Amex just renewed my card with an invitation to go Platinum.&#8221; Romanello continued to explain how she staved off the negative credit effects of two foreclosures, &#8220;I am careful to pay all other bills instantly when I receive them, I run no balances on any cards month over month.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>According to the study, credit cards, car payments and student loans are the most common forms of additional debt, with personal loans and medical loans rounding out the bottom.  Surprisingly, only 23% of those surveyed have ever defaulted on any other debts.  Many YouWalkAway.com clients have never even had a late payment on their record prior to strategically defaulting from a property.  Although, 91% of underwater homeowners surveyed are facing other debts in addition to their mortgage, YouWalkAway.com has seen these recurring trends amongst many clients.  Those who have handled the foreclosure strategically by closely monitoring their credit and other debt are fairing much better financially after the foreclosure. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Even borrowers who opt for a short sale have seen quick restoration of their credit.  San Diego Real Estate Broker, Jeff Grant can attest to his credit recovering after a short sale of his investment home which was upside down by more than $  200K.  “After my own short sale, missing a total of 8 mortgage payments, my credit went from 729 to 679. But it quickly recovered to 728 a year and four months later!”   </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Following in suite, Wynn Bloch&#8217;s house in Palm Springs, CA sold at foreclosure auction in March 2010.  As a result of the foreclosure, her credit score fell just 45 points &#8211; from 780 to 735.  &#8220;It didn&#8217;t hurt me really at all,&#8221; Bloch stated, &#8220;In fact, I was foreclosed upon last March and just bought a new house in December!&#8221;  While it may be unlikely for all defaulting homeowners to purchase a home so quickly, 51% of YouWalkAway.com clients polled do wish to purchase a new home within 5 years. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In reality, many YouWalkAway.com clients are more than happy to shed the excess baggage of their underwater homes and downsize to a rental.  Nearly, 100% of clients report saving money by renting, and 52% chose to rent a house smaller than their previous one.   Jon Maddux, CEO of YouWalkAway.com explains, “Eighty-one percent of our clients have experienced no issues renting after a foreclosure or short sale.  Only, 18% were asked to provide a slightly larger deposit.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>As Susan Edwards shares, &#8220;I love being at our new house.  I can imagine my dogs in the yard and our family sitting at the table for Thanksgiving.  Funny,&#8221; she continues, &#8220;but I&#8217;m more excited for [my new rental] than I was when we bought this house.  It really is a new beginning for us.&#8221;  Edwards, Romanello and Bloch are not exceptions to the rule or lucky strategic defaulters who have fallen through the credit reporting cracks.  They are living proof that if homeowners continue to keep on top of other debts and their credit scores, they can rebound much faster than initially predicted.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Maddux continues, “There has been a lot of misinformation regarding the effects foreclosure has on one’s credit.  More often than not, it is those who have an agenda to deter homeowners from walking away who use scare tactic phrases such as, ‘Foreclosure will destroy or decimate your credit.’  Due to the nature of how credit scoring works, I prefer to describe the effects of foreclosure as wounding one’s credit.  Blemishes will heal on their own as long as one continues to keep other lines of credit current.  Seeing it first hand with our own YouWalkAway.com clients, a homeowner’s credit will improve over time as the delinquent payments move further into the past.&#8221;  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>YouWalkAway.com has added a new product designed to allow clients to monitor their credit throughout and following the foreclosure process.  The goal is to eliminate borrowers’ fear of credit reporting by providing direct access to their scores and lenders.  Simplifying the credit score is the first step to understanding how to improve one’s own credit and ridding oneself of debt.  Within this new product, homeowners are able to fix credit report errors, negotiate good will corrections, or settle debts directly with click of a button.  Credit and identity protection is also available with real time alerts.  With continuous monitoring of all trade lines, borrowers can take a pro-active approach to improving their credit score and eliminating their debt.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>YouWalkAway.com conducts ongoing surveys with current and past customers to compile data regarding their varying views on the foreclosure process and strategic default.  Through polling, YouWalkAway.com has determined the most common kinds of debt that underwater homeowners are facing, as well as strategic defaulters&#8217; views on credit, and the process of finding a home following the foreclosure.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 02, 2011 </p>
<p> Charlesgate Realty Group, LLC., a leading Boston real estate brokerage firm, continues to innovate the marketing of Boston homes and condos by introducing a never-before-used online auction sale for residential condos in Boston.  The Boston real estate firm is holding an online auction for a condo in the Back Bay on November 20, 2011.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to assist a seller maximize the sale price of their property in the shortest amount of time using this online auction.  In a situation like this where the seller needs to liquidate their asset quickly yet still try to maximize equity, the online auction method of selling real estate is a perfect fit,” says Michael DiMella, Charlesgate Realty Managing Partner. “I’m thrilled that the seller understands the risks involved, especially given that this property is the first ever to be auctioned online in this fashion in Boston, and has given us free reign to use the online auction the best we see fit, even allowing us to run the auction without a hidden reserve price. This property will sell to the highest bidder, no matter what.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Auctions have been used to sell residential condo developments previously, but what makes this different is the online format of the auction, similar to an EBay auction with special modifications for real estate, and the fact that it is for an individual non-bank owned property.  Charlesgate Realty Group anticipates providing the online auction sale method in the future to other sellers in the Boston Real Estate Market fitting specific criteria that would make it the best option for them.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>About the Auction&#13;<br />
<br />The auction for 416 Marlborough St. #212 Boston, MA 02115 will take place online on November 20, 2011 from 3-7pm.  Bidding starts at $  315,000 ($  374 per square foot), with NO hidden reserve.  For details, to schedule viewings, or to register to bid, go to http://www.charlesgateauction.com/Unit202.  To view the property, there are Open Houses scheduled on 11/6, 11/13 &amp; 11/20 from 11am-12:30pm each day.  Private showings can also be scheduled at other times.</p>
