    — Amanda Benedict, The Piedmont Triad, Vintage Market Days® owner

    HIGH POINT, NC, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Piedmont Triad Vintage Market Days® spring show is only 6 weeks away and will feature a fun vintage Soda Shop theme, running from 10:00 am on Friday, Feb 27, through 3:00 pm on Sunday, March 1, at the Suites at Market Square in High Point. The spring show will also feature a special bonus, when guests pre-purchase tickets, where they will enjoy early access to the Vintage Market Days event, plus receive exclusive swag bags for the first 25 guests each day on Friday and Saturday, filled with goodies, coupons, and treats from our amazing vendors.

    “We invite you to step back in time and visit our Vintage Soda Shop, where the sodas are sweet, the vibes are retro, the decor is colorful and every corner feels like a blast from the past.” Amanda Benedict, The Piedmont Triad, Vintage Market Days® owner, and show producer commented, “This theme is more than just celebrating that classic, feel-good Americana essence—but with our own Vintage Market Days twist, and incredible vendors! I’ve always loved the nostalgic feel of this era—the pastel colors, the music, the milkshakes, and the sense of community that came with gathering around the counter. And nothing’s sweeter than a little nostalgia, and who doesn’t love a good milkshake, so take a step back in time and join us at the Vintage Soda Shop!”

    Amanda further describes her creative vision for the vintage-style Soda Shop concept, which came together through her love for the unforgettable era of soda fountains, diners, classic jukeboxes, and checkerboard floors, and for capturing the Glam-Retro-Charm of the perfect local vintage soda shop. “We had so much fun designing this event’s flyer! We have to thank High Point’s very own Mayberry Ice Cream Parlor for bringing the vintage vibe and collaborating with us. We couldn’t help but be inspired by their retro looks and the classic checkered floors of this local landmark, and it created the perfect backdrop for our photo shoot—and we couldn’t resist treating ourselves to milkshakes while we were there!” Amanda Benedict said.

    Bringing the Vintage Experience to You®, the Piedmont Triad, Vintage Market Days® exciting second edition at Suites of Market Square comes on the heels of a well-attended 3-day event in August that grew not only in size from previous shows but in the amount of community support and participation.

  • RestoPros of Greater Columbus Addresses Winter Mold Concerns for Property Owners

    RestoPros of Greater Columbus Addresses Winter Mold Concerns for Property Owners

    January 16, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    RestoPros of Greater Columbus reminds property owners that winter conditions create unique challenges for mold prevention and detection in both residential and commercial buildings. The restoration company emphasizes that despite colder temperatures, mold growth remains a significant concern during winter months due to increased indoor humidity, condensation issues, and potential water damage from frozen pipes.

    The restoration company notes that winter-related water damage, including burst pipes, ice dams, and roof leaks, contributes significantly to mold issues during the colder months. These incidents often occur in less visible areas of properties, allowing mold to establish itself before it is detected. Additionally, holiday travel can mean water damage goes unnoticed for extended periods, compounding the problem.

    RestoPros of Greater Columbus Truck

    Property owners should remain vigilant for signs of potential mold growth, including unusual odors, visible discoloration on walls or ceilings, and any evidence of water intrusion. Areas near windows, in attics, and around plumbing fixtures require particular attention during the winter months. The presence of excessive condensation on windows or walls often indicates humidity levels that could support mold growth.

    Mold remediation becomes particularly critical during winter when buildings remain sealed against cold weather, creating environments where moisture can accumulate and mold can flourish undetected. The combination of heating systems running continuously and reduced ventilation often leads to ideal conditions for mold growth in areas such as attics, basements, and around windows where condensation forms.

    “Winter presents specific challenges for mold prevention that many property owners overlook,” said Caleb Krites, Operations Manager at RestoPros of Greater Columbus. “The temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environments create condensation points throughout buildings, and when combined with reduced air circulation from closed windows, these conditions can accelerate mold growth in as little as 12 to 24 hours after water exposure.”

    The health implications of mold exposure remain consistent regardless of season, with potential respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health concerns affecting building occupants. Commercial properties face additional challenges, as mold issues can impact employee health, productivity, and potentially lead to business interruptions.

    RestoPros of Greater Columbus maintains 24/7 emergency response capabilities throughout the winter season, recognizing that water damage and subsequent mold issues require immediate attention. The company’s certified technicians follow the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification guidelines in addressing mold contamination and preventing its recurrence.

    Based in Granville, Ohio, RestoPros of Greater Columbus serves the surrounding communities with comprehensive restoration services, including water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, storm damage restoration, and complete rebuild services. The veteran-owned company brings 30 years of combined industry experience to each project, maintaining BBB accreditation and IICRC certification. The company provides free inspections and detailed assessments for property owners concerned about potential mold issues in their buildings.

  • Amana Care Clinic Expands Urgent Care Services Across Quad Cities Region

    Amana Care Clinic Expands Urgent Care Services Across Quad Cities Region

    DAVENPORT, Iowa – January 16, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Amana Care Clinic, a walk-in medical facility serving the Quad Cities region, has expanded its healthcare services to meet growing demand for accessible non-emergency medical treatment across eastern Iowa communities. The clinic now operates locations in Davenport, Bettendorf, and Muscatine, providing comprehensive urgent care services without requiring appointments.

    The expansion addresses increasing community needs for timely medical attention outside traditional hospital emergency departments. The Davenport health clinic offers treatment for a wide range of conditions, including minor injuries, infections, and childhood illnesses, and provides diagnostic services such as X-rays and laboratory testing. The facility serves as an alternative to emergency room visits for non-life-threatening medical concerns.

    Amana Care Clinic - services

    “The demand for accessible healthcare continues to grow across the Quad Cities region,” said Moutaz Kotob, PhD, Medical Director at Amana Care Clinic. “Our expanded presence allows us to serve more patients who need immediate medical attention but don’t require emergency room services. We’re seeing increased utilization from families, businesses, and individuals who value the convenience of walk-in care combined with professional medical expertise.”

    The clinic’s certified medical professionals diagnose and treat conditions ranging from seasonal illnesses and minor injuries to chronic condition management. Services include treatment for respiratory infections, musculoskeletal injuries, skin conditions, and urinary tract infections. The facility also provides sports physicals, wound care, and occupational health services for area businesses.

    Amana Care Clinic Quad Cities walk-in medical care has become increasingly vital as primary care physician shortages affect communities nationwide. The clinic’s model allows patients to receive same-day treatment without scheduling appointments weeks in advance. Patients can either walk in directly or use online check-in systems to reduce wait times.

    The expansion comes as urgent care facilities nationwide experience growth due to changing healthcare consumption patterns. Industry data indicate that urgent care visits have increased significantly over the past decade as patients seek convenient alternatives to emergency departments and traditional physician offices.

    “We’ve structured our services to complement existing healthcare infrastructure rather than compete with it,” added Dr. Kotob. “Our role is to provide immediate care for conditions that are urgent but not emergencies, helping reduce the burden on hospital emergency departments while ensuring patients receive appropriate treatment quickly.”

    The clinic’s diagnostic capabilities include on-site X-ray equipment and full laboratory services, enabling comprehensive evaluation and treatment during a single visit. This integrated approach reduces the need for multiple appointments and referrals for many common medical conditions.

    The Davenport health clinic operates as part of the broader healthcare ecosystem in eastern Iowa, maintaining relationships with area hospitals and specialist providers for cases requiring advanced care. The clinic accepts most major insurance plans and offers transparent pricing for self-pay patients.

    Established to address gaps in healthcare accessibility, Amana Care Clinic focuses on delivering efficient medical care in a patient-centered environment. The clinic’s locations throughout the Quad Cities region provide residents and visitors with reliable access to professional medical services seven days a week, including evenings and weekends when many traditional medical offices are closed.

  • Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty Names Sofia Padilla VP of New Developments as Gwo Piña Buchanan Team Launches

    Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty Names Sofia Padilla VP of New Developments as Gwo Piña Buchanan Team Launches

    Dehlan Gwo Continues as Listing Broker on Select RSIR High-Profile Accounts, Expands in Resale and Project Scope

    SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Executives at Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty (RSIR) announced today that Dehlan Gwo has launched a new marketing alliance with RSIR brokers, Rachel Buchanan and Yael Piña known as the Gwo Piña Buchanan Team. The collective will merge their complementary backgrounds in real estate development, luxury hospitality, and bespoke retail to deliver a holistic, concierge-level client experience for the innovative brokerage. This alignment furthers the trio’s collaboration on active new development accounts and featured resale assignments, while appointing real estate veteran, Sofia Padilla, to RSIR’s Vice President of New Developments after just six months supporting the fast-growing division as Executive Director of Project Marketing.

    “We are proud to support the strategic evolution of our brokers to align their passions with expanding opportunities in our industry with our shared brand,” said RSIR President and CEO Dean Jones. “We’re entering a new era in New Developments, including promoting Sofia Padilla to take the helm for corporate activities. Dehlan will maintain select RSIR accounts as a listing broker in collaboration with RSIR’s New Developments team and expand his independent business ventures with longstanding team members.”

    Gwo helped to engineer a robust New Developments infrastructure over the past few years for RSIR, supporting the site sales teams and leading benchmark sales performance for several high-profile condominium projects. He continues in his leadership role as the listing broker for Infinity Shore Club Residences on Alki Beach, with co-listing broker Yael Piña, and likewise as the co-listing broker at Graystone Condominiums, along with listing broker Rachel Buchanan. Gwo is also directing sales at Rainier Chalet in Enumclaw, listed by RSIR advisor Maggie Ecklund.

    “The Gwo Piña Buchanan Team is the right platform for us, our evolving business segments, and at this market inflection point. We are eager to build our book of business together within our RSIR family,” said Gwo. “Having worked alongside Sofia over the past two quarters, I’m thrilled she’ll be the steward of corporate leadership for the New Developments division at RSIR.”

    RSIR’s developers were recognized by Seattle Agent Magazine as “Development of the Year” as part of the Agent’s Choice Awards back-to-back for Infinity Shore Club residences in 2024 and again for Graystone Condominiums in 2025.

    “I’m honored and excited to be contributing to this extraordinary brand and working alongside the entire team as we grow together,” added Padilla. “I congratulate Dehlan, Rachel, and Yael on their collective evolution. The best is yet to come on our active accounts and new ones that come to the team.”

    Jones confirmed that the Gwo Piña Buchanan Team will collaborate with Padilla on project listings. Their combined experiences will also advise on investment properties and land syndication for future development opportunities. In addition to new construction condominium sales, Gwo’s track record also includes representing land developers and homebuilders from site acquisition to completed spec home sales in many of the Eastside’s sought-after neighborhoods.

    While serving his role as the former Vice President of New Developments, Gwo also obtained his Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) from the University of Washington. Prior to their real estate successes, Piña was the former Hotel Manager for the Four Seasons Seattle, and Buchanan was a client advisor and operational manager for Louis Vuitton’s flagship retail store in downtown Seattle.

    Padilla brings more than 20 years of experience in real estate sales, marketing, and development strategy, with a career spanning large-scale master-planned communities, luxury condominium projects, and branded residential offerings. Her background includes senior leadership roles with national brokerages and developers, where she has overseen marquee new development projects, driven record-setting sales performance, and led integrated marketing strategies across residential, retail, and hospitality environments. In her role as Vice President of New Developments, Padilla is responsible for scaling RSIR’s New Developments platform, providing corporate oversight of flagship projects, and supporting independently operated teams specializing in land development, project strategy, and builder services.

    In addition to appointing Padilla as Vice President of New Developments, RSIR has welcomed Tara Cummins as Marketing Project Manager, New Developments, to support the continued growth of the division’s infrastructure. In this role, Cummins will oversee campaign execution, coordinate creative workflows in partnership with CLAY Agency, RSIR’s in-house marketing enterprise, and support client communications across active new development accounts.

    “We welcome Tara to the team,” added Padilla. “She brings experience across real estate marketing, creative leadership, and hospitality-driven residential projects,” she continued. “Her expertise strengthens our New Developments division and enhances how we support developer clients and listing teams across a wide range of project types.”

    Collectively, the new construction inventory represented approximately $67 million in sales volume in 2025 across 73 properties. Current inventory spans across two dozen accounts comprising more than $300 million in listing activity on and off market. Over the past 15 years, RSIR has represented several billion dollars of new construction sales.

    “We’ve been active in new developments throughout my 30-year career in the Puget Sound region, as our brokerage was spawned by my role as an active developer in the mid 1990s,” concluded Jones. “Now our role is to support developers and lenders with a turnkey solution providing market research, product development, marketing, and sales for our own accounts.”

    Auction of South Carolina estate closes live 27 January in cooperation with Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty at Sotheby’s ‘Visions of America’ Sale

    Partnering with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions enables us to elevate the property onto a global stage while honoring its significance as one of Charleston’s most extraordinary waterfront estates.”

    — Lisa Patterson, Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions announced today that the reserve has been met and bidding has officially opened at $6.25M for one of Charleston’s most architecturally significant private residences, the historic ‘Nathaniel Ingraham House.’ The property will be auctioned in cooperation with Lisa Patterson, Ruthie Ravenel, and Middleton Rutledge of Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty. Bidding will culminate live on 27 January as part of ‘Visions of America’—a week-long series celebrating art, luxury, and American craftsmanship—at Sotheby’s worldwide headquarters in the iconic Breuer building at 945 Madison Avenue in New York City.

    Built on the city’s legendary High Battery, the museum-quality waterfront estate offers sweeping views across Charleston Harbor toward Fort Sumter from its prominent position within the historic downtown district.

    “Historic properties of this caliber benefit from a sales platform that brings clarity, momentum, and global visibility to the market,” said Chad Roffers, CEO and Co-Founder of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions. “When a property carries this level of architectural and historical importance, the way it’s presented matters—and placing the Nathaniel Ingraham House within the ‘Visions of America’ sale creates an experience that matches the stature of the home, allowing us to connect this extraordinary residence with qualified buyers through a transparent, competitive process in one of the most important cultural settings in the world.”

    “This home has been meticulously preserved for generations, allowing its architectural integrity and historic character to remain beautifully intact for its future owners,” added Patterson. “Partnering with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions enables us to elevate the property onto a global stage while honoring its significance as one of Charleston’s most extraordinary waterfront estates.”

    Built between 1810 and 1818 by merchant and naval officer Nathaniel Ingraham, who served aboard John Paul Jones’s Bon Homme Richard, the estate—the four-story solid brick and stucco residence at 2 Water Street along the city’s famed High Battery promenade. The home spans more than 7,000 square feet with six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, exemplifying early 19th-century Federal architecture later enhanced by a distinctive Second Empire mansard roof. Set on a rare double lot, the estate offers sweeping views from its grand living and drawing rooms, along with a private Charleston garden, in-ground swimming pool, outdoor entertaining terrace, and gated off-street parking court – exceptionally rare amenities within the South of Broad district.

    Positioned in Charleston’s most prestigious enclave, the property is steps from Rainbow Row, the French Quarter, White Point Garden, and the city’s most celebrated dining and cultural institutions. Living on the High Battery represents the pinnacle of Charleston elegance, where architectural legacy, waterfront beauty, and sophisticated urban living converge in one of America’s most admired historic cities.

    As part of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ Key For Key® giving program in partnership with Giveback Homes, the closing will result in funding towards new homes built for families in need.

  • Houston Real Estate Company Sees Rise in ‘Caregiver Sales’ as Families Pivot to Address Aging Parents

    Houston Real Estate Company Sees Rise in ‘Caregiver Sales’ as Families Pivot to Address Aging Parents

    PPS House Buyers Fast Tracks As-Is Sale for Houston Caregiver, Highlighting a New Trend in Real Estate Needs for Aging Populations and Home Sale Challenges

    We’re seeing a growing number of Houstonians who aren’t selling because their house is ‘ugly,’ but because their time is consumed by the care of a loved one.”

    — Joel Medrano

    HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the number of family caregivers in Texas reaches record levels, the Houston real estate market is seeing a distinct shift in seller motivations. PPS House Buyers, a family-owned real estate investment company based in Houston, is reporting a rise in “Caregiver Sales”—transactions where homeowners prioritize speed and the removal of logistical burdens over traditional retail listings to fund urgent family health needs.

    A recent success story in the Cranbrook subdivision of Houston illustrates this trend. The homeowner was providing full time care for his 90 year old mother, who is living with dementia. Facing mounting family responsibilities and the need for immediate funds to support his mother’s care, the seller sought a way to liquidate the asset without the standard 60 to 90 day wait or the stress of making repairs to the home or conducting multiple property showings.

    The property, a 1,752 square foot single family home on Dentwood Drive, presented a unique challenge: it was occupied by month-to-month tenants who moved in after the aging parent moved out. In a typical market scenario, a seller would have to manage tenant notifications, legal transitions, and property cleaning before even listing the home.

    By partnering with PPS House Buyers, the homeowner was able to bypass these hurdles entirely. The company purchased the house as-is with cash, eliminating the need for traditional appraisal, financing, and time of the market. All this took place with the tenants in place, and closed the transaction with cash in under 30 days.

    There are lots of options if someone simply Google’s “we buy houses in Houston,” so it can be difficult to choose a company with experience that can follow through with their claims. PPS House Buyers addresses this by serving as a comprehensive problem solver, handling the legal and tenant logistics that often paralyze traditional sales. They are also experienced in resolving title issues, including tax liens. Houston homeowners should conduct due diligence on companies by reading company reviews from as-is condition real estate purchases, as well as verifying good standing and positive rating with the Houston BBB.

    A Mission Driven Approach to Real Estate.

    “We are seeing a growing number of Houstonians who aren’t selling because their house is ‘ugly,’ but because their time is being consumed by the care of a loved one,” said Joel Medrano, owner of PPS House Buyers. Candidly, they also need to access funds stored in the home equity to pay for the next chapter of health care for their loved one.”

    Joel went on to say this. “The seller on Dentwood Drive had actually updated the home recently; it was a high-quality property. But he needed to be a son and a caregiver, not a landlord. By purchasing the property with the tenants still in the residence, we removed the final barrier standing between him and the funds he needed for his mother. We want the Houston community to know we buy houses of all types and conditions, especially when a fast sale can change a family’s life for the better.”

    Serving the Greater Houston Metro

    PPS House Buyers caters to people who want to sell their home fast, often without a real estate agent. They specialize as a company that pays cash for houses, offering an alternative for those who need to sell a Houston house fast to navigate life transitions. Their “people first” model is available to residents throughout the Houston metropolitan area, serving the following counties: Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, Brazoria County, Galveston County, Liberty County, Waller County, Chambers County, and Austin County.

    About PPS House Buyers

    PPS House Buyers is a family owned real estate investment company based in Houston, Texas. Founded by Joel Medrano, the company provides win-win solutions to help homeowners navigate complex life events, including caregiver transitions, probate, and foreclosure. They focus on providing a simplified, dignified way to sell homes for cash in Houston without the traditional stresses of the real estate market.

  • Hexillia Joins Global Leaders at Davos for High-Level Dialogues During WEF Annual Meeting

    Hexillia Joins Global Leaders at Davos for High-Level Dialogues During WEF Annual Meeting

    DAVOS , SWITZERLAND, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hexillia announced today that it will be in Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, engaging in a series of high-level leadership forums and private discussions alongside global decision-makers from business, policy, technology, and media.

    As leaders convene in Davos to address the long-term implications of technological acceleration, economic resilience, and geopolitical change, Hexillia’s participation reflects its focus on how emerging technologies – particularly artificial intelligence- can be deployed responsibly to support durable growth across complex and rapidly evolving regions.

    During the week, Hexillia will take part in women-led leadership forums and curated, invitation-only dialogues across the broader Davos ecosystem. These discussions include engagements convened in connection with leading global platforms and publications such as Forbes, Business Insider, and The Economist. The forums are designed to facilitate candid exchange among senior executives, policymakers, investors, and thought leaders navigating the intersection of technology, governance, and long-term value creation.

    Hexillia’s engagement will center on technology and AI as foundational systems shaping the future of economies and institutions. Drawing on its work across Africa and the Middle East, the company will contribute perspectives on how advanced technologies can strengthen infrastructure, improve access, and support sustainable development- when aligned with local context, institutional capacity, and long-horizon thinking.

    “Davos brings together a unique concentration of leaders who are shaping decisions with long-term consequences,” said Nikole Read, CEO of Hexillia. “For us, these conversations are directly connected to the work we’re doing across Africa and the Middle East. AI and emerging technologies offer enormous potential in these regions, but only if they are implemented responsibly, with an emphasis on trust, resilience, and long-term impact rather than short-term gain.”

    Hexillia views Africa and the Middle East as central to the next phase of global growth and innovation. Rapid demographic shifts, accelerating digital adoption, and increasing regional collaboration position these markets at the forefront of technological transformation. Through its work, Hexillia seeks to bridge global dialogue with on-the-ground execution, ensuring that insights shared in international forums translate into tangible outcomes that benefit local economies and institutions.

    The Davos convening period provides an opportunity for Hexillia to deepen relationships with policymakers, institutional investors, and strategic partners whose decisions influence capital allocation, regulatory frameworks, and technology adoption across emerging and growth markets. By participating in these discussions, Hexillia aims to advocate for approaches to AI and innovation that balance ambition with accountability and progress with stewardship.

    Hexillia’s presence also reflects the growing importance of women-led forums within the Davos landscape. These settings play a critical role in shaping leadership narratives that are inclusive, pragmatic, and focused on long-term outcomes—qualities increasingly essential in navigating technological and economic transformation.

    Hexillia approaches Davos not as a standalone event, but as part of an ongoing global dialogue. The company’s participation underscores its commitment to thoughtful engagement, careful listening, and contributing constructively to conversations that inform its work across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.
