Lonnie Cooper from The Rate Kings Mortgage is our mortgage broker. He has a number of types of mortgages. The first he talked about is home loans for Veterans. VA loans are offered with zero down payment and many other benefits, along with refinances and home equity loans. FHA loans are the next type and are typically for first time homebuyers since you can focus on the down payment and not on the closing costs, and allows lower credit scores. USDA loans for rural housing can also benefit home buyers and have a zero down payment so that you only have to pay closing costs. Lonnie has many other types of loans and will help you with choosing the proper loan for your individual needs. Contact Lonnie today at 610-572-3635 or Email Lonnie.

Greg Cazillo is our website designer. He showed the group a recently completed website for a local remodeling contractor. Greg redesigned the entire website, added about 50 pages of new content, tons of photos, new contact and service forms, photographed their showroom and setup website analytics to track user interaction on the site. Content is the most important part of a new website; it gets clients onto the site from Google and other search engines. Greg will work with clients of any need from very small website changes that only take an hour to full redesigns including writing, photography and videography.

Ed Swift from Robert J. Kratz Accounting is our CPA. He talked about new clients that are just signing up to work with his company. The main piece of the puzzle that he uses to gather information is your prior year's tax return. Ed and his staff have procedures and documents that help the firm's CPAs, tax preparers and administrative assistants be as efficient and thorough as possible. Sometimes returns will be missing a document or two, I that’s the case Ed has a checklist which ends up being a homework assignment for the client to get the rest of the documents to make it complete. Contact Ed at 610-296-2500 or Contact Ed

Lonnie Cooper from The Rate Kings Mortgage, LLC is our mortgage specialist. He explained how a business owner can get a mortgage with a new product which is based on your bank statements. Lonnie also gave us some details on another product called a jumbo loan, which is greater than $424,000. This affects the amount of money you are required to have as a down payment. One suggestion Lonnie has is to always purchase title insurance. Contact Lonnie today at 610-572-3635 or send Lonnie an email.

Vince Del Vacchio from Del Vacchio Landscape & Garden Center is our landscaper. He explained how some things are good or bad for your turf. Compacting from vehicles or walking on it a lot is bad for it. Crab grass and weeds are both bad, along with irrigation systems need to be used properly. Fertilization and aeration when done at the time of the year can make a huge difference in the lawn and make it green and healthy, but they need to be done right and with proper timing. Vince's process is more organic and sustainable more like a natural forest. Contact Vince today at 610-692-2422 or send an email.
