The Jack Conway, Realtor Hull office recently participated in the Endless Summer Festival.

Running the Conway booth and greeting neighbors and customers were Maureen Barry, Mark Abatuno and Joan Eccles. They were joined by Conway Home Mortgage originator Moy Lopez.

“It’s always fun to see everyone and get out in the community,” said Abatuno, a Top Lister and Seller for Conway. “Endless Summer is a great time for that.”

The record-sized crowds attending the festival, featuring true hot/humid summer weather, enjoyed events like sandcastle building competition, hot dog eating contest, live bands, pizza eating contest, dining concessions from many of the local restaurants and of course, the smiling Realtors from the Jack Conway Hull Office.

Conway raffled off a pair of Celtics tickets donated by attorneys Kellem and Kellem.  The winning ticket was pulled by local Hull Selectman John Brannan. The winner of the Celtics tickets was Bob Kaplan, a local painter in Hull.

Carroll, a 20-year employee in QMC’s finance division, entered to win the raffle prize during a recent benefits fair at which Conway had a table. She approached the Conway table at the fair to seek out real estate opportunities.

Conway has a unique relationship with QMC.

I’m just returning from Phoenix, Ariz. where I was fortunate enough to be asked to represent Conway at a Wells Fargo Joint Venture Leadership Summit. I had a chance to spend 2 1/2 days with 14 other broker/owners of large real estate companies who also have a mortgage company with Wells Fargo.

There were leaders from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World as well as a number of other companies from Florida to Arizona to Texas and San Francisco. We discussed best ways for us to service our customers through both our real estate companies as well as our mortgage companies.

We discussed the new consumer protection laws in place that will further help our consumers and we learned a lot about each of our markets. We learned from speaker and social media trainor, Mike Lyons, about how important social media such as Facebook is for communicating with our customers.

Above all we learned from each other that we are all working and doing what we can to update our web sites, offer more tools to our customers and agents and because of the “opportunity” a good recession will allow, we are leaner and stronger and more efficient companies.

We are fortunate as a company to have a partner such as Wells Fargo. who today arranges 25 percent of all mortgages in the United States with the best rates and mortgage programs around. Today, I’m proud to announce that our own Conway Home Mortgage is closing 40 percent of the loans for the buyers who come in our door.

I attended the Plymouth Area and South Shore Board of Realtors Technology Fair this past week and had a chance to meet with many of the members of our company as well as other great area Realtors. What a fabulous exchange of information; everything from social media training, new cell phone applications and options, newspapers on line, and web site providers.

According to the National Association of Realtors, 94 percent of all buyers start their search for real estate using the internet. This is exactly why here at our own company, Jack Conway & Company, we have spent a number of dollars on revamping our web site that offers a clear option for searching for property and lots of data rich opportunity to receive information.

Our customers know what information they want, and they know they can find it on line. We are available to our customers to supply this information and help our buyers and sellers find the data they are looking for. This technology fair shows the commitment the Realtor community has to offering our customers the most efficient  tools and gadgets. It’s an exciting time in real estate as we quickly move into many more virtual ways of communication. Visit us today at www.jackconway.com.

If you were in attendance at the South Shore Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon featuring our Gov. Deval Patrick, you know there is no apathy in the business community about politics.

More than 1,000 business leaders were in attendance shaking hands and showing support for each other. This group of people is dedicated to their businesses and doing all that they can to remain strong and nimble.

I’m pleased to be a member of the Board of Directors for the South Shore Chamber. As they say, it ”takes a village” and this supportive group assists the business community and customers so our region will remain informed and educated.

This group is run by Peter Forman, past Plymouth County Sherriff, and he has made an enormous difference in the strength of the Chamber and its membership.

Easton – The proceeds from Norwell-based Jack Conway Realtors 26th annual Conway Country Charity Golf for the Homeless event were recently presented to local charities.

Over the last 26 years the tournament has raised more than $500,000 and this year’s event was sold out. Conway VP of Sales Denis Lilla, who runs the tournament each year, delivered a portion of the proceeds to My Brother’s Keeper of Easton recently.

“We are always happy to come over here and deliver a check to My Brother’s Keeper,” said Lilla as he made the presentation to Executive Director Erich Miller. “What you are doing here is so special, and our golfers, sponsors and supporters are proud to help.”

My Brother’s Keeper is a volunteer Christian ministry which delivers furniture and food free of charge to families in need.

“In helping people buy and sell homes, we see first hand the need for these services,” said Lilla. “You can’t say enough about what organizations like My Brother’s Keeper do in the community.”
