This Morning with RENT; Beacon Renovations

Hours ago, we took respite from this muggy weather with Real Estate Networking & Transactions, at its monthly meeting in the Williams Club. For an industry that can notoriously handle late night events (documented in our pages), you sure are chipper and optimistic in the morning.
Sholom & Zuckerbrot's John Ritter; Sotheby's Intl. Realty's Pauline Evans, Citrin Cooperman's Scott Rutter, LandStar Title's Marco Botarelli, and Johnson Capital's Lino DiLascio, R.E.N.T chair.

Lino tells us that it's looking to expand even more, bringing nationwide developers and investors into the mix.
Arthur J.

Heather tells that she's seeing a steady amount of activity, especially in refinancing. We heard other bits of positivity, including more momentum in the real estate market, and members hope that September picks up the slack after the usual summer slowdown.
