Rockford Township Grand Opening Celebrated with Giveaways

May 18, 2011 - PRLog -- ATLANTA –Traton Homes celebrated the grand opening of the decorated model home at Rockford Township in Marietta with two events, a cookout celebration for buyers and a private luncheon for real estate agents. Guests were invited to enjoy delectable food and tour the new model, the Glenstone.

Both celebrations included special prizes. Potential home buyers entered a raffle for gift cards to local businesses, while real estate agents dropped their names in the hat for a Ritz Carlton Spring Spa Getaway. At a May 10 sales meeting, the grand-prize getaway was awarded to Donna Hogan of Keller Williams Dallas Highway.

“Our grand opening events were a tremendous success, with a great turnout for the weekend celebration and more than 80 Realtors for the agent event,” said Josh Hilscher, vice president of sales and marketing for Traton Homes. “Visitors continued to comment on the architectural styling of the home as well as convenient location.”

Priced from the $240,000s, Rockford Township is located in the heart of Marietta on 27 acres of the historic Smith-Manning ante-bellum estate and only one and one-half miles from historic Marietta Square. Homes range in size from 2,800-3,595 square feet. Amenities will include a pool, luxurious cabana and playground.

The community is surrounded by the charm of the area’s rich history including vibrant Marietta Square, historic Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and quaint local bakeries and antique shops. It is also conveniently located near outstanding shopping and dining on Barrett Parkway and the Avenue at West Cobb.

Rockford Township is located in the Marietta City Charter School district.
