LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, December 3, 2013. We were joined by a guest representing the category of automobile sales.

Our speaker was Gary Hunter of Hunter Carpentry (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He has been in the carpentry business for over 35 years, so he brings a wealth of experience to every job. He currently works with his son Jason. Gary has seen many changes in styles over the years, especially in kitchen design. Of course, he has kept pace with all of these changes, so he can tackle any carpentry project. His past projects have included crown molding, chair rails, wainscoting, and pocket doors. Feel free to contact Gary for these or any other carpentry projects.

Scott Darling did the showboating, complete with his poker chip business cards. "Don't take a gamble on any realtor. Contact Scott Darling for any of your real estate needs." You can reach him at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

As we enter this season of winter weather, remember that we follow the Downingtown Area School District. If they delay or cancel school, we do not have our meeting.

LeTip Chester County East is pleased to welcome our newest member, Glen Coral with Turning Point Wealth Strategies (www.turningpointwealth.com). Glen represents the category of Life, Health, and Disability Insurance. We also had a guest representing the category of Automobile Sales.

Our speaker on November 26, 2013, was Lonnie Cooper, our mortgage broker from The Rate Kings Mortgage (www.theratekings.com). Lonnie led us through the answer to a question he is frequently asked: "How much does it cost to buy a house?" He added together all the aspects of the money that would be needed at or before closing. Payment needs to be made for a down payment, prepaying property taxes, homeowner's insurance, transfer tax, title insurance, possible homeowner's association contribution fee, home inspection, and possibly a termite inspection. For a fictitious house costing $100,000, Lonnie added together all of these financial components and arrived at a total of $7150.00 beyond the down payment that would be needed. He can help each individual to arrive at this total for their own home buying scenario. Contact Lonnie (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) for help with this and any other mortgage-related questions.

Our showboater was Dieter Enz, our painting contractor from SLCI. He showed us some of the products he uses to keep the work area to clean and to insure straight, clean lines when painting. His work is always high quality.

Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

 LeTip Chester County East had two guests on November 12, 2013, representing the business categories of life/health/disability insurance and remodeling contractor. Frank Grube, husband of Kallee Grube from Clear View Home Solutions (www.clearviewhomesolutions.com), also visited with us. Frank and Kallee work together to provide energy efficient home improvements.

In fact, Kallee Grube was our speaker, and she brought some samples of windows, siding colors and materials, and door colors and materials so we could see the many options that Clear View Home Solutions can provide. Kallee and Frank sell home improvements materials and then work with highly skilled and credentialed installers. Kallee emphasized that her approach to sales is more consultative than many other home improvement providers. When she meets with a customer, she wants to ensure that she provides education and information, and then she is happy to let the customer have time to think and make the best decision, as opposed to using tactics to force the sale and leave with a job and payment at the end of every home visit. Kallee would prefer to have high customer satisfaction, and she feels that this is best achieved through building rapport and refusing to pressure the customer. So we can all free free to schedule a consultation and know that we will learn more adn receive help to make the best possible choice for our needs.

Our showboater was Sue Scales from Hands Down Massage & Bodywork (www.handsdown.abmp.com), and she brought samples of massage gift certificates as well as body care products that can be paired with certificates for holiday gift-giving.

Next week, November 19, will be the third Tuesday of the month and will feature our visitation reports for the month of November.

For the first meeting of the month, LeTip Chester County East welcomed two guests representing the categories of Insurance LHD and Carpentry Contractor. We also voted in a new member: Eric Sacco of Kee Scaping, representing the category of Landscaping. The speaker at this meeting was Anthony Latino. Anthony gave everyone a brief history of how he started in the computer repair business. Anthony explained the services he provides from computer cleanup to printer setup to iPhone and iPad repairs. Anthony has the ability of logging into computers remotely which he prefers in order to save his clients time and money. Please contact Anthony for assistance with any computer, mobile device or networking issues you may have.

Our showboater was Scott Brown (Scott Brown), our HVAC professional and President. He displayed the newest technologies in home thermostats. Scott explained how the thermostats can now be controlled through mobile devices while you are away from home. There was also a handheld thermostat that will track the temperature and adjust the temperature from any location in your home.

For the last meeting of October, LeTip Chester County East welcomed two guests representing the categories of Landscaper and Carpentry Contractor. We also voted in a new member: Kallee Grube of Clear View Home Solutions, representing the category of home improvement (windows, siding, roofing, doors).

The speaker at this meeting was Greg Cazillo (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He told us about some of the recent changes and technological improvements that he has made, so the websites he works on can be faster. Greg is now using three servers instead of one, plus there is a separate database server. Faster and more efficient processing means that visitors to your website will find what they need quickly and not become frustrated, waiting for information to load, and decide to leave your site and do business with someone else. Greg reminded us that our two most important means of connecting with potential (and existing) customers are websites and social media. Please contact Greg for assistance with either or both of these forms of customer engagement.

Our showboater was Martin Ritter (mritterconstruction.com), our General Contractor. He provided an attractive display of photos to show us several of the projects he has worked on. At this time of year, he is focusing on jobs that would be indoors, so please think of him for any interior remodeling, construction of railings, etc.
