Nampa homeowner wins Vacation Cash Giveaway

Boise, Idaho — One Nampa resident will find taking a vacation will be a little easier for her this summer.

Nicanora Mendoza was selected as the winner of this year’s annual Vacation Cash Giveaway, a program designed by Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Group to show appreciation for its clients with a $500 cash donation, ideally toward a summer vacation.

Mendoza purchased a home in Nampa with the help of Realtor Lee Didericksen, a member of the Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Group – Emerald office.

“I didn’t expect this,” Mendoza said. “I knew nothing about this contest. Lee is very thoughtful and sympathetic. This is just one way she takes care of her clients.”

Didericksen said she’s delighted her client’s name was drawn from the hat.

“I was really tickled to death,” Didericksen said. “You always want it to go someone who can really use it, and I believe this will really help them.”

Tracy Thompson, designated broker at Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Group, said the program serves two purposes for the community.

“It’s a terrific way for our agents to stay in touch with their past clients through the busy summer months, plus it’s a pleasure to be able to help someone take a vacation they otherwise might not have been able to afford,” she said.

The annual Vacation Cash Giveaway began in 1990 with owner Larry Laraway and Aspen Realty, which has since merged with Coldwell Banker Tomlinson of Spokane and Holland Realty of Boise. The winner receives a check from Coldwell Banker Tomlinson Group for $500 toward their vacation plans. It is coupled with the Mortgage Payment Giveaway program, which takes place each December, as two ways CBTG gives back to its clients.
