Galveston Family Wins $50,000 Home Makeover From Directbuy

When George and Delores, members of DirectBuy of Houston East, told their family that they won $50,000, five-year-old granddaughter Lauren said, “Yaya (Greek for “grandmother”), I’ve never known anybody to win $50,000.”

Well luckily she does now, as her grandparents are planning a vacation for their entire family to enjoy. The Letsos family also plans on paying off Delores’ medical bills from last summer’s chemotherapy treatments. “We couldn’t thank DirectBuy enough for their Home Makeover program and giving us this incredible opportunity,” said George Letsos.

“Since joining DirectBuy, we have remodeled our kitchen with all new appliances and have also remodeled our master bathroom,” said Delores. “We were going to stop there, but since winning the Home Makeover Contest, we can re-furnish our master bedroom as well.”

“Joining DirectBuy is a life-changing event, but to have one of our members win the Home Makeover Contest on top of that is incredible,” said Houston East Owner Chris Herron. “I have come to know the Letsos family and they’re wonderful people – the kind of people you want to win. Everyone at our showroom is so excited and happy for George and Delores.”

Wichita Family Wins $50,000 Home Makeover From Directbuy

“When we received our open house invitation in the mail with a chance to win $50,000, we thought, ‘why not try,’” said Linda Demar. “But never did we think we were actually going to win! In fact, the certified mail announcing our winning sat on the kitchen counter for two days before we let ourselves think it might be true.”

It wasn’t until DirectBuy of Wichita Marketing Associate Michael Lee personally handed over the check that the Demar family finally realized that they indeed were the winners of $50,000. Lee is the marketing associate who sent Linda and Kim Demar their key and booked their appointment.

Franchise Owners Warren Schaal and Kevin Ferrante invited the entire marketing staff and surprised Lee by handing him the check in front of everyone and asking him to present it to Linda Demar. “It was the neatest thing that I have ever done in my life,” said Michael Lee.

“We’ve always said that the Home Makeover Contest is a great program,” said co-owner Warren Schaal. “Everyone imagines how awesome it would be to have someone win from your showroom, but for it to actually happen in our center is incredible. Being part of DirectBuy is a life-changing event, but this is unbelievable.”
