The Hasson Company Sponsors 2008 Clark County Parade of Homes, Launches Virtual Guide

Date: July 24, 2008

Premier independent real estate brokerage in the Northwest, The Hasson Company Realtors, recently announced its sponsorship of the 2008 Clark County Parade of Homes presented by Columbia Credit Union running Aug. 22, 2008 through Sept. 7, 2008. The tour will showcase five homes -- two of which are LEED-certified -- in the Moongate community overlooking Vancouver Lake in the Felida neighborhood of Vancouver, Wash.

In promoting the event, The Hasson Company is proud to launch its newest web technology -- the Virtual Guide. In its inaugural issue of the digital buyer's guide, the company introduces the featured properties in this year's Parade of Homes. Designed to bring the area's finest homes straight to its clients' inboxes and encourage people to tour the Parade of Homes community, the Virtual Guide allows The Hasson Company to give its clients the highest possible level of service. Through this new information resource, The Hasson Company maintains its position at the forefront of technology. The launch of the Virtual Guide also commemorates the first time a local real estate company has adapted its cutting-edge technology to reduce the amount of paper consumed.

The homes spotlighted in this year's Parade of Homes were constructed using sustainable building practices, leveraging high-performance systems that reduce a home's energy consumption and environmental impact.

"We are proud to be associated with the 2008 Clark County Parade of Homes and the companies who made this year's event happen," says Mike Hasson, President and owner of Hasson Company Realtors. "The Parade will showcase five unique homes that incorporate a variety of sustainable products designed to meet the needs of an environmentally conscious homeowner. At The Hasson Company, we provide our clients with access to resources that help them make educated decisions when purchasing homes that personify the Green lifestyle."

Pioneering sustainability in Clark County, The Hasson Company is the only real estate company in the area offering its clients access to a designated team of Green-certified agents. The Hasson Company's Green Team embraces the Green trend by providing its agents with the education and skills necessary to assist clients looking for sustainable housing in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
