Coffee with Jean

Why would you want to go for a coffee with Jean?

Coffee With Jean dot comAre you thinking of buying a home in the near future? Is this your first home? Or maybe you haven’t bought a house in a very long time… If any of those are true, then come have a coffee with Jean.

We will be hosting an event where you can be up close and personal with a Real Estate Agent and a Mortgage Broker. Instead of going to a large seminar where you will be lost in the large crowd you can sit in front of us and we will guide you through the process of buying a home and getting pre-approved. The small venue is much more personal and you will be able to ask any question you want.

Buying a home should be fun and interesting but knowing all the steps can be a bit of a challenge. Come have a coffee with Jean and you will be comfortable with the home buying experience.

Visit CoffeeWithJean.com to register. Seats are limited so make sure to register before it’s too late. There is no cost or obligation to attend this great event.

See you there.

Orleans Soap Box Derby video

This year was another great year for the Orleans Soap Box Derby. The weather was pretty good and many participants enjoyed the day. Where else can you take your soap box car and race on the streets of Orleans? Orleans Boulevard was blocked off so the racers could enjoy the day. Check out this video and see for yourself how much fun it was. I know that I would have liked to do that when I was a kid, many years ago ;-) , so why not prepare for next year and build your own car.
