LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Exton, PA. Our speaker was our home automation specialist, Adam Perkowski (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Adam is able to automate all sorts of technology products in a home, controlled by cell phones. The systems that he installs can coordinate a variety of technologies. He typically uses the Savant system, which used to work only with Macintosh products. However, this home automation platform has improved over time and now uses programming that can put together technology from different companies, all under a single controlling system. Adam works diligently with each individual customer to organize and automate what they want. He tells us that we're actually "getting closer to the movies" in terms of what we can control and how we are able to control it. Adam may not be Iron Man, but he can give Tony Stark's Jarvis a run for his money.

Our speaker was our realtor, Scott Darling (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Scott is always ready to help people sell their homes. He is connected to fantastic people and resources for home staging to make a house look more appealing to potential buyers. Scott studies the demographics of people who have bought or sold homes in the past, with an eye for the people who would likely be candidates for each house that he has listed. He may encourage other realtors who represent these buyers to show his properties that would be a good fit for them. Scott also makes sure to follow up quickly on any online searches related to properties that he is selling. He may look for renters who are paying rent that is roughly equivalent to what the mortgage payment would be for a particular property and ask whether they would consider purchasing a home. In short, Scott pays attention to details and works hard to help his clients with their home sales. Contact him if you are thinking about listing your home for sale--or to buy, of course!

LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, July 7, 2015, at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Exton, PA. Our speaker was our painting contractor, Dieter Enz from SLCI (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Dieter has worked on many different painting jobs, always with great quality and meticulous attention to detail. He mentioned that he is currently working on a job that requires a lot of brushwork, and that a painter has to know what they are doing to make this type of job look good. He can mix custom colors to get just the right shade. When necessary, he can remove wallpaper and prepare the wall underneath for painting. Depending on how the wallpaper was hung and the amount of glue that was used, this preparatory phase can take up to several days to complete. Dieter will know what is involved only after he has started the process and gotten a look at the wall underneath, so he does his best to estimate what may be involved. With all of his jobs, he makes sure that everything is completed to very high standards of quality, and it is worth the time that he takes to get everything done right.
