My business group

Today I had lunch at Mexicali Rosa's on Bank Street. It was decilious. I had a lunch version of fajitas. It was reasonably priced and not overfilling. You might be asking yourself, why do I care about what Chad had for lunch?

The answer is simple. The people I shared lunch with have a variety of backgrounds in business, not only in real estate. The great thing about this group is that we are trying to expand, so that we have a very solid network of professionals that we can go to with various problems. From a real estate perspective, we have lending professionals that serve both residential and commercial properties. We're trying to establish some trust within the group, so that we know that we can refer friends, family and clients to get the best deals possible.

How is this important for you? Well, I'm an accountant, and not a mortgage professional. If you need advice on tax related matters, (or even real estate matters now) I am your man. If you need money, I am not your man. However, I do know people that can help you. I know people that I can trust. Hopefully, you can come to trust them too.

This is how the group works. I refer someone like you to a member of the group. I may know you from Carleton, Bell High School or from just around the neighborhood. If you decide to use my mortgage guy, my mortgage guy might send someone he knows to me for help with a purchase of a home or some tax advice. We both can double our business.

It's a pretty simple idea, but its benefits are great. It's one of the ways that I am trying to make sure that all my clients are 100% satisfied. Making money is about making good relationships with clients. I don't want to simply help you out for a quick buck. I want to help you so that we both benefit from a deal and you'll not only be happy to do business with me, you'll be happy to refer your friends to me too.
