This Week's Meeting

John Gunn, Union Home Mortgage

Good and honest information and facts about the Mortgage Industry.

John Gunn started in the mortgage business across the street in 1999 with Unisource Mortgage, work for them for 15 year until May of 2015. With the collapse of the housing market I decided to switch and work for mortgage banker, so I had control over all aspects of the application process, such as underwriting, processing, closing and servicing. In the 19 plus years I have closed over 1500 loan and have learned from each one. I’m also father to 4 girls and one son that is currently working with me as a Junior Loan Officer. I also became a grandfather this past May. My wife Beth and I came to NC in 1987, before I-40 went through the Triangle. We always thought we’d go back home to St. Louis but after every passing year we discover that Chapel hill was our home.

See you there.

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

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

"Labor Day 2019"

On June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday of September a legal holiday, dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.

So as you relaxed on your day off today (possibly with a cold beer in your hands), don't forget to take a moment of silence to thank the hardworking men and women from the late 1800s for their efforts to create the much-improved working conditions we now enjoy.

I encourage you to learn more about how Labor Day came into existence and what sacrifices were made by our predecessors in their efforts to ensure safety and welfare within the labor force in our country.

I encourage you to join me this Wednesday morning at the Chapel Hill Leads Group and to experience for yourself the reason why being an active member can result in achieving success in your business. Remember to bring a smile on your face a patriotic song on your mind and an attitude of gratitude for the life you live and the opportunities you have in our great country, The United States of America..

Respectfully,

Lee Schearer


Support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina

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.
