Press Release Summary:
The Perfect Place Contest requires players to earn the highest score on a
skill-based, puzzle-based online game, similar to the word jumble games in the
newspaper. “More people are capable of playing the game and everyone is on equal
terms.


Press Release Body: Coral Springs, FL, October 02, 2008 -- Got game? For those who
excel at word-jumble games, their skills may just win them a new home in South
Florida.

Donna Kalman, president of The Perfect Place, a provider of short- and long-term
housing in South Florida, had several properties available for sale. In this
challenging economy, she devised the concept for The Perfect Place Contest.

“A group of Florida homeowners and I wanted to find a creative way to get these
homes sold. Through a contest of skill, prospective home-seekers and investors now
have the chance to win a new home, and sellers have a new way to sell their
property,” said Kalman. “We wanted to find a fair, unique, and fun way to turn these
properties into someone else's dream home and have both the buyer and seller
benefit.”

Unlike other home-giveaways where contestants are required to write lengthy and
subjective essays, The Perfect Place Contest requires players to earn the highest
score on a skill-based, puzzle-based online game, similar to the word jumble games
in the newspaper. “More people are capable of playing the game and everyone is on
equal terms. You either have the highest score or you don’t,” says Kalman.

The contests are up and running and properties currently available include:

- A $250,000 Coconut Creek 2-bedroom/2-bath condo with vaulted ceilings, playground
and tennis court, right next to the excitement and glamour of the future home of the
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
- An amazing $400,000, 1-bedroom condo in Delray Beach with full upgrades and great
amenities, within walking distance of the ocean.
- A gorgeous $400,000 high-rise, upscale condo in Fort Lauderdale, with all the
amenities of a 5-star hotel located right in the heart of trendy Las Olas area.

To enter, players visit www.PerfectPlaceContest.com, choose the property they want
to win and pay the corresponding entrée fee which ranges from $50 to $200, depending
on the property. Players will have the opportunity to try a few practice games
before playing. The goal is to unscramble the letters as quickly as possible to form
a specific word. Immediately following play, the home-seekers’ scores and the
highest score will be displayed, allowing contestants to keep track of their
placement. At the end of 30 days, the player who unscrambled the word correctly the
fastest will be declared the winner of the property. Players may enter as often as
they wish but must pay separate entrees fees for each game, and players must be 18
years old or older.

“Whether these prospective homeowners want an opportunity to win a vacation home, a
primary home in Florida, or use it as an investment property, it’s really a unique
opportunity to win a great home at a nominal fee. People play the lottery all the
time against millions of odds, or pay $50 for a hand of black jack. With our game,
you have even better odds of winning a real home that is fully furnished in prime
South Florida locations,” said Kalman. “And because the number of entrees are capped
equivalent to the fair market value of each property, no one is taking advantage of
a down market. No one is price gouging. We just wanted to find a solution to the
real estate situation. This way, a seller has the chance to get out of their home in
a very difficult real estate market while the buyer is able to own a home for little
investment. Everyone wins.”

Eric Weldon, owner of Menu Realty Group in Fort Lauderdale, is the first realty
office to utilize the website for his client. He has an oversized studio apartment
in the The Q-Club in Ft. Lauderdale, just north of A1A. “This is a condo hotel that
overlooks the beach. Amenities include a 24 hour fitness center and pool along with
a lobby restaurant. If I were to put it on the market it would list for $550 -
$600,000.”

Weldon found out about the contest a few months ago and was eager to get his listing
on there. “I’m looking to put a lot of my properties on the contest,” said Weldon.
“What’s nice about the contest is that it is global. People from all over the world
have an incredible opportunity to win a property in a great location.”
