The 19th Annual Remodeled Home Tour is sponsored by the NARI of Idaho. This Remodeled Home Tour will showcase remodeling projects by members of the NARI of Idaho in the Treasure Valley area.

The tour is designed to market NARI of Idaho and its members and to promote remodeling as a wise choice for homeowners As in the past, NARI is also offering both a live tour and a virtual tour that will be available on our website. We are offering an option for any member who would like to participate ONLY in a virtual tour. Those choosing to participate in the live tour will automatically be included in the virtual tour as well.

Please see the following information on options and costs.

Tour Participants

We anticipate featuring 6-10 homes in the Treasure Valley area. We are hoping to show an addition 3-6 homes via virtual tour.

Tickets

Tickets will be sold through various NARI of Idaho members, the NARI website, and office and available the day of the show.

Program

We are going to try something different and do an online program. All homes will have QR codes to be able to scan and download the program and have hyperlinks with map locations of the houses. The program will have content deadlines of Wednesday, April 24th, for photos, directions, and summaries. All show participants will have an opportunity to proof their page in the program. We need to get the digital program into production and circulated no later than May 3, 2024, so this DEADLINE is final.
Programs will include both the live and virtual tour participants (in a separate section in the back), as well as advertising.

Virtual Tour Preparation

We need to film and prepare the virtual tour to be ready no later than May 3rd. All participants must be available for filming during the weeks before this. You need to warn clients we will need to be in their homes during this time for short periods of time.
We will be using software that allows us to take 360-degree pictures. We will also want to show still “before” pictures that will be your responsibility to provide (see deadlines above under Program). Again, thanks to Joe Levitch at Levco Builders for donating this service to NARI.

Tour Participants

We anticipate featuring 6-10 homes in the Treasure Valley area. We are hoping to show an addition 3-6 homes via virtual tour.

Marketing Opportunities

▪ The Remodeled Homes Tour is an excellent marketing tool for your company. The media
coverage will expose you to consumers who are serious about remodeling.
▪ Tour visitors are pre-qualified by the fact that they have purchased tickets with the intent of viewing your projects and meeting potential remodelers to bring their ideas to life.
▪ Tour visitors will have the chance to see your quality work “in the flesh.” If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine how many words an actual project visit is worth!
