General Mills Heading to NC Research Campus

The headline caught my attention as I used to work for General Mills way back in the day.  After graduating from Notre Dame with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I immediately started my career in General Mills’ Manufacturing Management Program in their cereal and snack plant in West Chicago, IL.  I later was promoted to headquarters in Minneapolis, MN, then finally to their high technology plant in Covington, GA.  During my career with them, I learned a lot about food processing and found it very interesting to see how much science, technology, and research is behind the manufacturing of various foods.

I’m happy to hear that General Mills is establishing a lab right here in the Charlotte Region at the NC Research Campus in Kannapolis….

The article doesn’t mention how many jobs it will bring to the area, but it’s good to hear that strong, established companies like General Mills have decided to invest in the area.

Question: How can my home for sale get to the top of Zillow?

Answer: Sell a home with Don Anthony Realty!

Don Anthony Realty, the Region’s Premier Discount Realtor® with a hybrid approach combining the savings of a “For Sale By Owner” and flat fee MLS Listings with Full-Service Real Estate Brokers, has done it again!  We have partnered with Zillow.com, the nation’s #2 home search website, to provide all of our clients with “Featured” listings!  (This is in addition and at no extra cost to already providing “Showcase” listings to all of our clients on the #1 home search website, Realtor.com!)  Rather than be buried somewhere amidst hundreds of other homes, the owner of a home we’ve listed for sale can be confident their home will be found by buyers searching on that website.  Since all “Featured” listings are put at the top of the search, Don Anthony Realty listings stand out from the competition and are seen first!  The more often a home is seen by potential buyers, the more likely that the right buyer will find it and the home will be sold!  (Doesn’t sound like a Discount Realtor® does it?!)

As an example, when searching for homes in a the popular Charlotte area of Ballantyne in zipcode 28277, nearly 2500 homes come up on the search.  With about 25 homes per page, this means there are nearly 100 pages of homes to look at!  Of those homes, only 22 are “Featured” homes and they automatically show up at the top on page 1 of that search.  Out of the 22 “Featured” homes, 10 of them are from Don Anthony Realty!  That’s nearly HALF of all “Featured” homes!!!

If you want to make sure you get excellent exposure for your home, including an MLS listing, “Showcase” listings on Realtor.com, now “Featured” listings on Zillow.com and also HomesByOwner.com, as well as listings on hundreds of other websites, blogs, and social networking sites, all while saving THOUSANDS in real estate agent commissions, check out our website, www.DonAnthonyRealty.com and call us to set up an appointment at 704-549-1850.

I look forward to working with you to get your home sold!
