Local realtors America Foy and Remy Weinstein are inviting East Bay homeowners to shine a light on an area of California that often goes overlooked by submitting their unique and luxurious homes to the Epic Homes of the East Bay Contest.
Residents who submit are given the chance to receive a design consultation from HGTV star Cora Sue Anthony and be featured in her upcoming book: "Cora Sue Anthony's Epic Homes of the East Bay."
The contest is open to owner occupied one- to four-unit residential properties located within the East Bay. Submissions will be judged on the following criteria: size, location, view, yard, uniqueness, architecture, history, details, amenities, convenience, functionality, floor plan and curb appeal.
Judges confirmed for the contest include Cora Sue Anthony; East Bay Realtors Foy and Remy Weinstein; Architects Ron Herman and Bob Smiley; and professional photographer Britta Stratton.
Submissions must be made by July 15. Cora Sue's Epic Homes of the East Bay will feature 28-40 East Bay homes when it goes on sale over the Christmas holiday season.
Homeowners can submit their home to http://epichomecontest.com/
