Le Tip Le News

The tips are flowing too! 27, count them, 27 outside tips today. Thats 27 referrals for putting dollars in your pocket!  An outstanding congratulations to Dieter Enz, SLCI, for contributing TEN tips. great job everyone!

Our speakers were James Hope, our only mortgage consultant and provider, and Jack Blanton, our only Taxman!

James Hope, of Gateway Funding, gave us great hopes to get a mortgage, outlining how a credit report is important, and how to achieve this. In assesing a mortage peobability, his C-I-A formula is  three points to consider.  Credit, Income and Assets, and how each of these are important.  Gateway Funding also offers the only Happiniess Guarantee in the industry! If you are not happy with his service and attentiveness, he will pay your first month's payment.  He has  never had to do this, a reflection of his outstanding service.

Jack Blanton, JBND Taxbooks, Inc. gave us a bookeeping lesson in assesing our income and expenses and outlining a great diagram for the five categories all businesses need to have for good bookeeping.  In keeping good records, one must have these categories and be able to split their expenses to gain the maximum tax advantages for their business. That is a service provided for all his clients.

We welcome our newest member, Dan Wilson, Doctor of Chiropractic at Fieldhouse Wellness in Great Valley.

Quote: "To aim at the best and to remain essentially ourselves is one and the same thing."

We had 2 guests at our meeting: James Hope of Gateway Funding (home mortgages) and Nancy Schuster of Ignite/Stream Energy (energy savings)

SPEAKERSScott Darling of Re/Max Realtors and Craig Constable of U Financial (life insurance and health insurance)

1st Speaker:  Scott D., our only residential realtor, discussed how he stays top of mind with his customers - buyers and sellers – by staying in touch with them on a regular basis through a variety of communications. A good lead for Scott is a homeowner who would like to upgrade or a recently engaged couple looking to buy a home.

2nd Speaker:  Craig discussed the difference between Term Life versus Permanent Life insurance. Term insurance is purchased for a specified period of time. Permanent insurance stays in force as long as you live. It will pay a death benefit, and it accumulates a cash value, too. Send your leads to Craig!

We viewed the first video featuring Bridget Hanley of Little Conestoga Picture Framing.
