Philanthropy

Upstyle Living Charity Drive: Halliburton Homes in partnership with Cafe Ganache held a charity food drive on Wednesday, November 2nd, to benefit The Hoboken Shelter. "It's with great pleasure that we were able to partner with The Hoboken Shelter for this food drive. There is a great deal of satisfaction knowing that the charitable efforts of this event will directly impact the city where we work and live," explained Matt Franklin, Halliburton Homes Sales Partner

Franklin, along with Amy DeAngelo, another Halliburton Homes Sales Partner, were the coordinators of this charity drive. DeAngelo shares Franklin's sentiments of the importance of the charity drive and its impact on the community. "Working with the homeless and helping those in need in our very own community is such a great feeling, especially during this time of giving thanks," said DeAngelo.

Hoboken House Tour: With its distinguished reputation, the Hoboken House Tour has been selected as one of the five "Grand Tours" in the Northeast by This Old House magazine. Homes from previous tours have been featured in magazines such as Better Homes and Gardens and New Jersey Monthly.

On Sunday, October 24th, 2010, from 10 AM to 4 PM, Halliburton agents joined other participants on a self-guided tour of beautiful properties, from Victorian brownstones to contemporary condos. Proceeds from the tour fee and advertisers benefited the Hoboken Historical Society.

Halliburton Homes agent John Bredin attended the Hoboken House Tour. He liked it so much that he wrote an article about it for The Midweek Reporter.

John writes, "Real estate is, in fact, an art.

Though I've yet to master the technical jargon of my new field, and terms such as 'square-footage' and 'granite top counters' don't roll off my tongue as smoothly as they do a more experienced agent's, I did pay attention to the titles of books people had on their shelves. Tempering my fears about the philistine 'Hoboken Yuppie,' I was thrilled to discover (on my very first bookshelf glance of the tour) Thoreau's Walden. Since Thoreau was a nature love (and so am I), this reinforced my sense of wonder at the paradisiacal green 'urban oasis' backyards that day."

Kevin Dowling: Halliburton Homes agent Kevin Dowling had a listing at 20 Newport Parkway, No. 2012, an 1,120-square-foot home at the Shore Club Condominiums. The unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It features floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, granite countertops and a terrace. The building amenities include a doorman, gym, sauna, and conference room.

His listing was featured in a Wall Street Journal article about the re-invention of Jersey City. Sushil Cheema writes, "...Jersey City is increasingly a popular destination for those who want to be close to New York City without being immersed in its bustle."

Kevin was also quoted in a marketing presentation for TruSlate, an affordable genuine slate solution. 

Kevin says, "After many years working as a realtor, I've never met anyone who doesn't like a slate roof. It's a sign of luxury and provides a unique look to the property that helps differentiate the home from the rest of the neighborhood, not to mention increases the resale value. The opportunity TruSlate offers to achieve this look at a reasonable cost is unheard of!"
