Essex ExpeditionEssex Expedition, an agent promotion from Essex Homes, is in full swing. Real estate agents are encouraged to participate in exploring the excellent Essex Homes communities throughout the greater Columbia area. There are 11 remaining dates for agents to explore the various communities and discover the secret to selling an Essex home.

Presents for everyone!  Following is the Estates at Persimmon Hill in Lexington on July 20.
