We are going to try something new! 🤝✨ At BNI, "Specific is Terrific" so let's be specific!

At our last BNI meeting, Angie Allaire, owner of HouseMaster Serving Blue Ridge PA, asked for an introduction to local real estate professionals who value relationships that go far beyond the transaction. That relationship first mindset is exactly what HouseMaster is all about!

Facebook can be a powerful tool, so let’s see what this community can do! Angie shared that she would love the opportunity to grab coffee or lunch with local agent Kayla Dillon with Coldwell Banker to connect and build a meaningful professional relationship. ☕🏡

👉 If you know Kayla, we would love if you would share this post with her and let's make this connection!

This week in BNI, Jay Sensenig shared a great ask for businesses looking to step up their signage game by working with FASTSIGNS to create dimensional lettering. 👀✨

Dimensional lettering is more than just signage — it makes a statement the moment someone walks into your space. Benefits include:
🔹 A polished, professional first impression
🔹 Added depth and visual interest
🔹 Stronger brand recognition
🔹 A premium, high end look for your showroom or lobby

So let us know… which photo grabbed your attention more below? 👇
