• American Home Shield completed four repairs in our clients’ homes last week and paid $1603 in claims.  Two repairs were plumbing and one each was appliances and heating.
• The Moreland inaugural Bracket Challenge and Foundation Fund Raiser results SO FAR. NO ONE picked the winner, but we still have a couple of points up for grabs. We’ll find out Saturday!
• Client Surveys – Some clarification. One, the third floor’s procedure failed. Joanie apologized for some being so late. Also, I’m checking all transaction memos now, and putting a NEED on the Pipeline checklist ifyour client’s email, current address, and for sellers, forwarding address is missing. This should help a lot.
• We have someone famous in our midst! AWESOME!
