HERNANDO, MS., - More and more homebuyers today are turning their sights on efficient, economical and environmentally-friendly home designs and living. In response, Crye-Leike, REALTORS - in association with Charleston Builders - is responding with a Green focused development and the launch of Phase One of a new neighborhood in Hernando, Mississippi. Charleston Builders Developer Jim Seay and Crye-Leike, REALTORS Affiliate Brokers Ron & Nancy Guy "The Guy Team" have joined with builder Ray Denison to create and market a new environmentally friendly subdivision in Hernando named "Charleston Rowe." There, Developer Jim Seay says you'll find many Green amenities came together well before the first foundation was poured. "For the subdivision itself we've addressed water retention considerations, lighting and planning for several parks for homeowner's enjoyment," said Developer Jim Seay of Charleston Builders. "Before we started construction of the model home we studied the topography to determine things like the concrete and cobblestone street layout and design of storm water and water retention." Phase One of Charleston Rowe is a 14 lot subdivision, featuring a model home currently being staged for a yet to be announced Realtor Open House event and public Grand Opening Celebration. The model - designed by Authentic Historical Designs, LLC in Jackson, Mississippi - is a replica of a home in Charleston made with many recycled and eco-friendly materials. "Builder Ray Denison is using 150 year old pine floors, old brick and maintenance free Hardi plank boards on the exterior," said Ron Guy of Crye-Leike, REALTORS. "There will be ceiling fans in almost every room, programmable thermostats, higher levels of insulation, improved Pella windows and doors and "lifetime warranted" roofing by Certainteed with copper valleys." With an A-Bus system for lighting control, high efficiency air conditioners Jim Seay and Ron Guy believe they're creating a living space - indoor and out - that's more sustainable by using no more of the natural resources than absolutely necessary. "Something else that hasn't been overlooked is the footprint of the house - as it relates to its exposure to the sun," said Ron Guy of Crye-Leike. "The model has been designed to face south to enjoy light and the north side of the home has only a few windows and is protected by a partially enclosed patio. Simple considerations we believe will go a long way to make this home very environmentally friendly." Native landscaping to reduce water use and maintenance, Energy Star appliances, and bonuses like spacious living area and a media room help this home meet the new evolving standards homebuyers today are demanding. "With our Green features we believe we've created both a home for the environmentally conscious buyer and the future of our children," said Jim. "It's the right thing to do and it feels great to be helping make a difference."

"It's a billboard location and I predict it will exceed everyone's expectations. For an owner-user, it's a highly desirable property for use and investment and has a built-in return on investment."   Leading the new Midtown sales center for the company is Crye-Leike, Realtors own Cindy Stanton-Fey.

The company anticipates holding a grand opening sometime in January 2008.   Crye-Leike, Realtors was established in Memphis in 1977 by Harold Crye and Dick Leike, and within three years, the company grew to be the largest in the city. Today, Crye-Leike?, the nations 4th largest real estate company, has a network of over 3,900 sales associates and 125 corporate and franchise offices located in 65 counties through-out the eight-state southern region of Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and North Carolina.   Crye-Leike is a full-service real estate company offering buyers and sellers services in the following areas of specialty: residential sales, mortgage lending, title, insurance, commercial business and investments, property management, development and construction, builder resources, REO bank-owned properties, relocation, auctions, and home services referrals.

BRENTWOOD, TN.- Crye-Leike, Auctions Broker Terry Posey is preparing for one of his biggest auctions to date? and possibly the oldest property he's had the opportunity to sell to the highest bidder.   "It is a unique property," said Posey, referring to the 34-thousand square foot Old Mayfield Elementary School that goes on the auction block the first of next month. "We mostly sell houses, farms and land so an entire school is unusual, but there isn't much difference in the general way we market the property and conduct our auction."   Last month the Cleveland City Schools Board of Education signed an agreement with Crye-Leike Auctions to sell the 79-year-old school. Auctioneer Terry Posey along with Tony Young have agreed to sell it at no charge.   "It's a desirable approach for the school system to take the property to auction as opposed to the usual route of listing it and waiting for offers," said Posey. "This way the school board gets to set the date and time of the sale, the terms, down payment and closing date. It allows for greater accountability to the citizens and taxpayers and ensures the likelihood of a sale at a fair market price."   In 2005 the appraised value of the school was reportedly at $850,000. It is the goal of Crye-Leike Auctions to sell the property for that amount or more. Posey has auctioned properties for much more money, but he recognizes the school's status as a public building and its sentimental value makes this auction special.   "We've had interest from a number of prospective buyers," said Posey. "In addition to 20% down, the winning buyer will need to provide a non-refundable earnest money deposit and be able to close in 30 days of the auction."   Crye-Leike, Realtors was established in Memphis in 1977 by Harold Crye and Dick Leike, and within three years, the company grew to be the largest in the city.
