LeTip Chester County East (CCE) had an exciting meeting at our new location at the Holiday Inn Express in Exton, PA. We also had two guests in attendance: Eric Greisiger of RBS Worldpay which handles credit card processing for businesses and Peter Clark of Rapid Recycling which specializes in the collection and sorting of all paper and cardboard waste products. Welcome guests! And congratulations to George Scherbak of Harvey Insurance Group who is an independent broker voted in as our newest member to cover the “Commercial and Personal Insurance” category. Welcome aboard George!

Our first speaker today was Dieter Enz, our only professional painter with SLCI. Dieter discussed the power of “P” in his business, beginning with Preparation. Dieter works closely with his customers to articulate their expectations and then Provides them with the most beautiful custom color or the most creative yet functional home remodeling design. His Personalized way-of-working and artistic attention-to-detail is what makes him Passionate about what he does. SLCI customers also have the Peace-of-mind to know they are fully insured, licensed and bonded Professionals. And Pride is key – for Dieter as the applicator and for the homeowner as the recipient of his beautiful work.

Scott Darling, our only realtor with Re/Max, was our second speaker. Scott discussed the three “Ps” in real estate: 1. Put a sign in yard, 2. Put listing in MLS, and 3. Pray that it sells. What differentiates Scott is that he is a Proactive Listing Agent. For example, if a home is for sales in a certain development, he will send a “Just Listed” card to all the neighbors. The idea is that the neighbors may have a friend or family member who’s been wanting to move into that same neighborhood, so the “Just Listed” card prompts them to reach out to their friend or family member with Scott’s information. Scott also has about 14 Proactive Websites, which is especially important since 87% of people look on the Internet first for a home before contacting a realtor.
