From the start of NFL preseason in August to the Probowl in February, our house is a football house. Every Sunday is a tailgate party with Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, and Howie Long. 
Oh, and I cant forget “funny guy” as my kids call him… Frank Caliendo.
Occasionally, there will be a flip of the remote to see James Brown, Dan Marino and Bill Cowher (the others are irrelevant!! LOL).
Bill cowher and Dan Marino
Every Monday night is spent with Mike Tirico, Tony Kornheiser and Ron Jaworski.
(I have to confess that I rarely stay awake until the end of the game… but that is my privilege… I am the queen, after all.)
We are a football family, specifically a Steelers football family and we have at least two children who like to do whatever they can to make their parents happy. (Dreading the day that little perk of parenthood ends.)
With this is mind we started redecorating our home. My two oldest share a room and, though they have lots in common, they do not have common interests enough to use as a theme to decorate a room. After fighting with them for days… long enough to paint/redecorate the youngest’s room…
And to paint/redecorate the master bathroom. Still there was not a decision on what to do with the big boys’ room.
Then, their father spoke… “Why don’t you do a Steelers theme?” The longing to make their daddy happy boys beamed with joy. He showed them Fatheads that they could have on their walls… they giggled with glee. So the idea was born… A Steelers Room… THE ultimate Steelers room… And here it is for the world to see… Big Ben Rothlisberger on one side…
And scarey Jack Lambert on the other…
What else could a Steelers fan ask for? Oops… don’t ask that because apparently if a Steelers fan asks for it at my house the Steelers fan get is.
We are a football family… a Steelers football family.

Zillow, Trulia serve up targeted home ads
Real estate technology brief
Zillow.com today announced that Century 21 is the first national brokerage to participate in its newly launched advertising platform that features local for-sale listings right on the Zillow.com home page.
The Zillow home page features three graphical ad units at a time — two sponsored by national brands and one sponsored by a regional brokerage. Because the ads are targeted to a user’s most recent search (versus their geographic location), advertisers are able to target all buyers, including those who may be relocating or purchasing a second home. For a national or regional brokerage, this means exposure for their listings to the more than 8 million visits that come through the Zillow.com home page every month, the company said.
On a similar note, next month Century 21 will start running advanced online advertising on Trulia.com. The new campaign uses technology called Motif, which enables real-time streaming of home sales data to feed dynamically into the page as a display ad next to a consumers search results.
More exposure for you means more chances to sell! Contact me if you would like more information regarding the marketing of your property!
