Press Release Summary: Former Buckeye Ready To Tackle Slopes

Press Release Body: Breckenridge, CO,-- Heisman trophy winner and former NFL pro
running back Eddie George has decided it's time to tackle the slopes and possibly
real estate at Breckenridge Ski Resort. George was in Denver on Thursday to tape FSN
Pro Football Preview for the upcoming Titans vs. Broncos game Monday night. Friday
George and his beautiful wife Taj, formerly of the hit \'90s R&B group SWV, arrived
to a luxury home in the Discovery Subdivision on Peak 7. Eddie plans on doing a
little skiing, but being a successful businessman, he is always interested in
evaluating local real estate markets.

"Breckenridge offers most of the amenities of Vail and Aspen, but at a much more
affordable price. Luxury was the missing element," stated George. "Now with what
Vail Resorts is building on Peak 7 and 8, that's changing." Business acquaintances
at the Hall-McNeer Development Group informed George of the impending build-out in
Summit County. "Anytime you hear the term 'build-out', it catches your attention.
Quite simply, demand is about to exceed supply . forever. This is a great
opportunity to look at some of their projects and learn about the local economy,"
George added. Hall-McNeer's local projects include a 17-acre estate parcel at the
base of Peak 7 currently listed with Ten Peaks Sotheby's and The Legends, a luxury
town home development in Frisco.

"Markets approaching build-out are somewhat insulated and have historically proven
to be safe havens for investment," said William McNeer. While some communities
struggle with declining home values, Summit County is relatively stable with
double-digit growth this year. McNeer expects growth to slow over the next 6 months
due to the tight credit markets, but as build-out approaches and lenders return, he
expects that the local market will again take off. "I do expect some opportunities
will present themselves in the coming months and with current low interest rates, it
might be wise to buy sooner rather than later. That's why a proven winner like Eddie
is in town," added McNeer.

In addition to the Heisman trophy, George won several NFL Rookie of the Year awards
in 1996, and was the Tennessee Titans' starting tailback until 2003. Drafted in the
first round by the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, George owns virtually every
franchise rushing record. He also led the AFC Champion Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV in
2000 as well as four consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl from 1998-2001. Eddie is also
involved in many entrepreneurial endeavors, as well. He is founder and part owner of
The EDGE GROUP and 'Eddie's Sports Grill' in Columbus, OH, besides his investments
in real estate and fashion. When inquired about what his thoughts on Breckenridge,
Eddie responded, "Combine the panoramic views, proximity to Denver and the nice
people and you can't help but be impressed."
