Premier Real Estate Event to Raise Funds for Valley Teen’s Funeral and Medical Expenses 
Tempe, AZ (April 25, 20120)- A recent tragedy claimed the life of Desert Ridge High School motocross rider, Jake Barville. At just 15 years of age, Jake lost his life while participating in one of his most beloved activities. His accident caused serious spinal & brain trauma, ultimately claiming his life after a short battle on March 3rd. Jake is survived by his parent, Dan and Leanne Barville and older brother, Wade. Jake’s father, Dan Barville, remembers his son by saying “I don’t know if he loved school, but he sure loved being here. I know a lot of adults may think kids don’t know what life is all about- Jake did.  He loved people, he wanted to be around people, and he wanted to do anything he could, for anyone who needed it. That was the way he was.” 
In turn, Jake’s mother, Leanne Barville, shares how her love for her son will help her eventually learn to be happy again one day.  She says “Jake loved life, and I am going to make Jake proud- and I will have my moments, and there’s going to be lots and lots of tough days but I’m not going to lose my love of life and my ability to have fun because that’s what Jake would have wanted.” 
Leanne Barville works in the real estate community which has banded together to help in her family’s time of need. Three of the top real estate agents in the Valley have joined forces to raise money for Jake’s funeral and medical costs by providing a seminar with valuable information and one-on-one interaction. Head sponsor, Fidelity National Title’s SVP, Steve de Laveaga says “this event is about more than giving people valuable real estate information. It’s a way for us to come together as a community and support a family who has lost an irreplaceable part of their lives.” 
The “Do More Business Now” Event will feature three of the most visible real estate agents in the state: Jesse Herfel-Keller Williams, Russell Shaw-Realty One Group and Brett Tanner- Keller Williams. This conference will consist of a consultative panel of Q & A discussion in which panelists will speak on topics such as: Creating your own inventory, overcoming challenges in today’s marketplace, effective consumer marketing, strategic ways to locate buyers & sellers, transitioning your business in a changing environment, and how to streamline your short sale file processes. Additionally, these panelists will be sharing samples of their very own process templates, short sale packages and checklists and success marketing plans with attendees. Agents will be able to benefit from over 40 years of local real estate experience with experts who have closed over 1600 transactions in the 2011 totaling over $100 million dollars in real estate.
The “Do More Business Now” event will take place on Thursday, May 3rd from 9am-12pm at SEVRAR, 1363 South Vineyard Rd. Mesa, AZ 85210. The cost of the event is $39.99, all proceeds to benefit the Barville family. To register go to http://thebarvillefamilybenefit.eventbrite.com
