The New Concession Clubhouse


The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing Specialist held its two day Luxury Seminar at the John Cannon Complex in Lakewood Ranch. It was hosted by the Tierney Foster Team and Keller Williams Lakewood Ranch Realty. The institute founder Laurie Moore-Moore was the guest instructor for the Luxury Seminar. There were forty-five agents which filled the board room at the complex. Some of the agents attending were from as far away as Littleton, Co and one even from Canada. After completing the course and meeting performance requirements you get your Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) Designation.


Thursday night we had a reception at the Concession. It took place in John Cannon’s The Royal Melbourne at the Concession with 11,200 square feet of living space. This was put on by Ed Bertha, Executive Publisher of REAL Magazine and Tierney’s Team of Keller Williams. They even had the same caterer Doug Hitchings that prepared our breakfast and lunches at the Luxury Seminar do different stations around the home.


They had two guest speakers Anne Weintraub, Esquire with Syprett, Meshad, Resnick, Lieb, Dumbaugh, Jones, Krotec & Westheimer, P.A.. Ann spoke on “Tips: How To Handel Over The Top Clients” which was very interesting.


The other speaker was Pamela Hughes, President of Hughes Design Associates. Pamela spoke on the “Interior Design at The Concession Clubhouse, a Sneak Preview”. Pamela showed photos of the different rooms of the new clubhouse and told us about all the light fixtures being hand designed and built from antique fixtures, carpeting being made in Turkey and Axminster carpet from England in the locker rooms, and a lot of wood and fireplaces for accents.


The pro shop is the only room completed and it is even stocked with merchandise. The Concession is planning on having the Grand Opening in August of the new Clubhouse.
