January 10, 2005 – Obeo, a nationwide online real estate marketing company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, was selected as the company to provide the online tour of the home featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. More than 700 volunteers donated time and resources to re-build and furnish a home for the Dore family, who had lost their house by fire and had been living in an unfinished shed on the property. The ABC series of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition aired the story of Roseanne Dore and her three daughters Sunday night. An online virtual tour of the home is available at www.centextreme.com
Steve Leupold, the Obeo Distributor for the Seattle, Washington area where the family is located, supervised Obeos contribution to this project. “I have photographed model homes in other communities for this Builder. For this one, we had to keep it [the online tour] quiet until the show aired,” Leupold said. The day Leupold photographed the tour, the new house was filled with gifts and friends wishing the Dore family well and because of the commotion and excitement that day, he said he plans to return to the home to photograph additional panoramas when there is not so much activity.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is known for its generosity to needy families and in addition to the fully furnished, four-bedroom home with an additional two bedrooms to be used as a Bed and Breakfast, the Builder also gave Roseanne $70,000 for her daughters Jessica, 21, Sarah, 17 and Aariel, 13 to attend college. “She was totally overwhelmed,” Leupold said. “Its fun to see that the good guy wins in the end.”
