April 2013
Dear Napa Valley,
After some helpful feedback, we decided to present a monthly ezine, rather than a weekly pub-lication. This e-zine is meant to be a one stop shop for all the information regarding Pacific Union & our region.
In this issue: Important dates & deadlines, up to date market conditions, & info about regional marketing and advertisements.
Your feedback is encouraged. What would you like to see on a monthly basis?

The feature story for the Q1 Report focuses on falling levels of negative equity across our regions and the improving climate for sellers. Get your contact lists together!
Previsite Videos - All MLS Listings should have a video slide-show on the “virtual media” tab of your MLS listing detail. You can send these slideshows via email, or upload to your social media network. Check your listings on MLS to make sure they load correctly.
