Extreme Perseverance

Patti Palumbo’s stick-to-itiveness has landed her one of South Florida’s premier builders as a perpetual partner in constructing healthy homes.

EcoQuest Sales Manager Patti Palumbo offers seminars for A/C contractors in her area. When Joe Chevres, head of Majestic Homes' heating and air division heard about DuctwoRx, he was immediately interested in the health and profit potentials. "I missed Patti's seminar, but I read the literature and was intrigued with the ActivePure technology."

Patti worked hand in hand with Chevres and with John George, the owner of Majestic. The DuctwoRx effectiveness, affordability, and easy installation were hard to beat. "I wish I would have had this system when we did the Extreme Makeover home," Joe says. "It would have been simpler, more effective and more impressive."

Majestic Homes and Realty is well known in South Florida as the Builder of Choice for its commitment to providing families with affordable, quality built homes since 1982. When the hit show Extreme Makeover Home Edition decided to grant a dying man's wish of building his family the home of their dreams, they contacted Majestic.

"I had never heard of the show and was inclined to turn the offer down," says Majestic owner John George. I was glad my wife interfered and pointed out the popularity of the program! We actually built a home in 4 days - it was a tremendous experience."

Overnight, the already successful company rose in popularity and the demand for their houses, and their time, grew exponentially. So, how did Patti succeed with a company that seems to only need to fulfill orders?

A company doesn't get to the level of success that Majestic Homes has attained by sitting on its laurels. As www.majestichomesonline.com boldly displays, Majestic's philosophical cornerstones are Quality - Integrity - Safety. "Our joyous challenge is to continually improve our product for our customers," owner John George notes. "Patti's hands-on help and expertise have been very valuable."

DuctwoRx is now installed in every new home Majestic builds (one DuctwoRx for each HVAC zone) and is an integral part of their unique selling proposition. "We are proud to have a unit on display at our showroom and we provide technical information for ActivePure-RCI on our website for people to study on their own." (see Health and Safety under Valuable Features)

"A 'clean air house' is an easier house to sell," says Joe Chevres.

Leveraging Success

Patti Palumbo's relationship with Majestic gets stronger everyday. "It is easy to relay my passion for what we offer. Our ActivePure-RCI Technology, Space certification, and extensive testing truly set us apart. And our partnerships with high-profile companies like Majestic Homes make it easier to go after the big fish that otherwise wouldn't give you the time of day."

Patti points out that what served her best at attaining Majestic Homes and other accounts is consistency and her never-say-die attitude. "It is important to build on your successes, but the conviction to never quit is foremost. In fact, overcoming obstacles is key. It is the common ingredient that shows up in all leaders with vision. I love this company and this opportunity that helps so many. That is what keeps me focused," Patti exclaims proudly.
