This Week's Meeting

Dennis Pechinski, Weaver Dairy Real Estate

Successfully concluding a Real Estate Transaction

When buying or selling real estate, there are many steps, inspections, and negotiations which must be executed in the proper sequence and on time. Join us this Wednesday as Dennis demonstrates how to successfully avoid some of the many pitfalls which can send your real estate transaction south.

See you there.

More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

 


If you missed last Wednesday's meeting ...

John Teague, Chatham Real Estate Photography

Putting a Great Face on Your Real Estate

Because most home buyers start their search on the Internet, good photography is a critical part of attracting buyers to a particular house. In his real-estate photography, John Teague wants every room to appear bright, clean and spacious. In his presentation, John will use sample photos to show how he achieves these effects. John will also describe his photography for businesses, apartment complexes, historic homes and other properties.

... You were indeed missed.

More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

Did You Know:

From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members

"In-depth faith"

To me in-depth faith means more than a conviction to a cause, to me it means "a way of life in my soul". People who demonstrate in-depth faith are driven to do more than may be required both for themselves and for others. They are extra-motivated individuals who are never content with their current situation or performances. They are driven by an inner and ceaseless urge to scale new heights, break old records and set new levels of achievement.

So it is with many members of the Leads Group who demonstrate their "in-depth faith" both in themselves and in their desire to support each other and make this world a better place both for themselves and for those who will continue after we are gone.

I hope to see you all this Wednesday morning with a smile on your face, a song on your mind and In-depth faith in your soul.

Respectfully,

Lee Schearer

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
