As was proudly announced at the recent Inman Connect 2008 in San Francisco, the 1st place winners of the Makeover2Takeover Contest were Apprentice Brian Block of RE/MAX Allegiance in Alexandria VA, and Mentor Desiree Daniels with RE/MAX Tri-County in Hamilton NJ.
The premise for this contest was simple: We selected 15 'Makeover' Teams, comprised of a seasoned real estate veteran (Mentor), and their chosen apprentice. Over the course of 8 weeks (leading up to the 2008 SF Inman Connect), the Mentor/Apprentices faced a series of weekly elimination challenges, aimed specifically at developing the apprentice's image/skills/abilities as a top performing real estate agent.
The final three remaining teams were then invited to be our guests at the 2008 Inman Connect in San Francisco. They were Jeanette Neerpat & Midori Miller, Kim Wood & Missy Caulk, and Brian Block & Desiree Daniels.
During the Connect festivities, Jeanette & Midori were awarded 3rd place, while Kim & Missy garnered 2nd place.
For 8 long, grueling weeks, the dynamic duo of Team Manna battled head-to-head with the other teams, and throughout the contest, consistently submitted some of the best challenge materials, enabling them to come away as the event's clear winner!
