Home Maintenance Tips for Winter

Monday, October 18th, 2010

At Nilson Homes, we strive to build a quality home and provide a great warranty to our homeowner.  We also want to provide our homeowners with tips on what they can do themselves to maintain their home.  Even the best of new homes still requires the homeowner to do regular maintenance, especially in preparation for winter.

At each closing, we provide to the new homeowner a brochure called “Home Maintenance Tips for Winter”.  We recently filmed some short videos to expand on what that brochure teaches.  This is a compilation of those videos.  Since these tips apply to any home, not just a new home, feel free to share this video with friends and family that also enjoy the privilege of owning a home.

Congratulations on Board of Directors Election

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Nilson Homes would like to congratulate their Sales and Marketing Director on his election to the Board of Directors of the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors.  Jed Nilson was nominated to run and was then elected by his fellow Realtors to serve a three year term.  As a Director, he will strive to improve the already great NWAOR.

He has been a long time supporter of the Have a Heart Home project and the Community Housing Committee.  He was the Co-Chair of the Community Housing Committee for 2010.  Nilson Homes has built a Have a Heart Home in each of the past three years.  He has played a key role in bringing the Homebuilder’s Association together with the Board of Realtors to continue the legacy of the Have a Heart Home project.  That accomplishment, among others, helped his company earn the prestigious Homebuilder of the Year Award in 2008.

Jed began his career as a Realtor in 1999 as a New Home Sales Representative for Nilson Homes.  Since 2002, he has worked for the company as the Sales and Marketing Director and has helped the company become a prominent builder along the Wasatch Front.  He was designated as a New Home Sales Professional (CSP) in 2004 and is currently a Certified Instructor for the CSP Designation.

In recent months, he has helped launch the Young Professionals Network for the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors as the Vice Chair for that organization.  He has a longstanding record of volunteering time and effort to the Board of Realtors and to strengthening relationships between the Board and the Homebuilder’s Association.  Jed welcomes the opportunity to represent his fellow Realtors.

Jed’s election to the Board of Directors is attributed to Nilson Homes’ dedication to work with Realtors in the homebuilding process.  Nilson Homes has always been a supporter of the Realtor Community and appreciates all of the Realtors that have trusted us to build homes for their clients over the years.
