Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC (1888PressRelease)
September 24, 2009 - Julie LaTerra is the C.E.O. and founder of Charlotte's premiere custom home-building company, Julie LaTerra Homes. As proven by her successful entry into the Charlotte market, Julie is a tenacious and astute businesswoman; but like most Realtors, wives and mothers, she is used to facing challenges. It was outside of the office, though, where Julie was challenged most recently.
An avid exerciser and health-food fan, Julie was surprised earlier this year when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Knowing she wanted to share her story with other Realtors, cancer survivors and women, Julie launched the sites BreakThroughCancer.com and 1000VoicesofHope.com. In late August, she made the decision to go through with a treatment option not offered in America.
Julie began her treatments Sept. 7 in Mexico. In conjunction with her family, Julie LaTerra Homes has organized a fundraising operation available at Julie's blogs, BreakThroughCancer.com and 1000VoicesofHope.com. As many people have been touched by cancer either personally or through a loved one, most are aware of the expensive cost of treatment. Visitors to Julie's blogs can contribute to Julie's cause by clicking the "Donate" button. All funds go directly to Julie's treatment.
As Julie faces the challenge of her life in Mexico, her Huntersville office continues to thrive, and is making exciting changes and improvements. Julie's Made from Scratch™ offerings are multiplying, and new and return clients continue to report satisfaction with their custom luxury homes. Visit www.JulieLaTerraHomes.com to view the newest designs and options. Contact Mandy Singleton (MandyS ( @ ) JulieLaTerraHomes dot com) to speak directly with a local representative about the Charlotte housing market, and the best places to build dot
Furthermore, in lieu of office-hours, Julie has decided to make herself available for free after-hours online consulting sessions. "After-Hours with Julie," offers Realtors and consumers the chance to ask an industry expert all their housing and real estate questions. Julie is available online every Wednesday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Users can submit questions or discussion topics anytime by e-mailing Info ( @ ) JulieLaTerraHomes dot com dot
