In June, Randy Strothman partnered in a FlexTeam with New Perspective and Brian James to work with a luxury vacation condo real estate developer in western New York.  This new marketing contract resulted from a blog posted here last summer about a similar real estate marketing project for a client in Deep Creek, MD… and discovered by the client’s a Google Alert.

The development was moth-balled in 2008 when the real estate market collapsed quickly, including for luxury resort vacation homes.  In late 2009 the development team cautiously began planning a relaunch of the project with new vision and optimism and a search for marketing expertise.
