Posted by Wendy Forsythe<\/em><\/p>\n

Twas the night before launch–all the systems are in place,<\/p>\n

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate–is ready to enter the race.<\/p>\n

The listings were all entered–online with great care,<\/p>\n

Just waiting for consumers–to go and find them there.<\/p>\n

The staff are all nestled–all snug in their beds,<\/p>\n

While visions of Inman Connect–dance in their heads.<\/p>\n

And Sherry in her Dior–and Nic in his suit,<\/p>\n

Are still at the office–admiring the marketing loot.<\/p>\n

Nine months is not long–to launch a new brand,<\/p>\n

And prepare to spread the word–all across the fine land.<\/p>\n

Lots of great people–helped us along the way,<\/p>\n

So much support–to get to this day.<\/p>\n

Thanks Kevin, Thanks Nicolai, Thanks Jason, Thanks Doug,<\/p>\n

Thanks Colleen, Thanks Paulette, Thanks Chrisitine, Thanks Bob.<\/p>\n

And to the many others–enough names to fill a wall,<\/p>\n

We appreciate your support and value you all!<\/p>\n

Happy Launch!!!<\/p>\n
