For the past 5 years, Houzz has been an industry pioneer in the design and construction\u00a0business. With a community of over 40 million homeowners, they have led the charge\u00a0in fresh, innovative ways to think about interior design and home remodeling projects.<\/p>\n

On a cold, rainy night in downtown Bellevue, Washington (just east of Seattle) we were proud and honored to host\u00a0the event and share the spotlight with them as they celebrated their 5 year anniversary event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Over<\/p>\n

Over 120 members of the Houzz community attended to celebrate their success, learn a few tricks from the experts, and perhaps had a cocktail or two to make for a more festive atmosphere.<\/p>\n

It was wonderful for us to see so many familiar faces, many in the local home improvement and design community, that were eager to share their stories, and provide some insight into promoting their business on Houzz. We have been proud partners with Houzz since 2011, and we love the opportunities they provide\u00a0to connect us with homeowners and other industry professionals. Check out our Houzz page\u00a0<\/a>and give us a follow!<\/p>\n

The Houzz experts\u00a0share their best practices<\/h3>\n

We had a couple of special guest panelists, Lane Williams<\/a>, and Brian David Roberts<\/a>\u00a0speak to the audience about how they found success on Houzz, and provide some helpful tricks of the trade that helped their business grow exponentially. Their advice in a nutshell? Invest in good photography, a creative writer, and don’t be afraid of social media!<\/p>\n
