When art and real estate collide

As many of you know, we have long been supporters and proud sponsors of the annual Alfred Cove Art Society (ACAS) Awards of Excellence. In fact we have been the major sponsors of the Awards since 2006, each year donating the first prize for ‘Best in Show’. Every year we are astounded by the quality of the artists’ works and it is especially rewarding to see the progression of talent from year to year. This year’s prize for ‘Best in Show’ was awarded to Richard Exham for his stunning pastel painting, Waves Breaking.

ACAS President Jenny Tunnacliffe wrote us a letter to thank us for our ongoing support over the years. She wrote, “We are very appreciative of your support and continued sponsorship in light of these tough economic times, as this ensures that we can encourage ACAS members to enter competitions and support our organisation to hold this annual event.”

While we sponsor this event due to our genuine appreciation for the arts, we were delighted to be acknowledged in the Alfred Cove Art Society’s June newsletter for our work in real estate, specifically for helping one of the members with the sale of her home and the purchase of a new one. Below is a copy of her letter featured in this month’s ACAS newsletter.

A Note from ACAS Member, Elizabeth MacColl

Our major sponsors, Shelley and Mark Clayton (Shelmark Real Estate) have been helping me. After 31 years living in my duplex home, I asked Shelley and Mark to assist in finding a new house and to sell my duplex.

It was wonderful to have available to me the genuine interest, knowledge, experience and professional expertise of Shelley and Mark. As a result of Shelley’s rigorous research, my duplex was accurately priced. As a result of Mark’s extensive advertising many people came to view my home. Shelley and Mark made themselves knowledgeable about my property and it was sold in one weekend. This saved me much time and energy preparing for home opens. The process of buying and selling property was interesting and I enjoyed the experience.

ACAS is privileged to have the Shelmark Real Estate team as our major sponsor. As a happy client I would recommend Shelley and Mark as outstanding real estate agents. Their attention to detail was valuable. For members of ACAS, their families and any friends thinking of downsizing, upsizing, investing in real estate then I recommend that you contact Shelley and Mark Clayton, Shelmark Real Estate.
