For: DJ Klock, Disk Jockey: "DJ Jason said he would never miss a wedding and he means it!  He had injured his arm and was in severe pain but still set up for my son's wedding on time and got things started.  He had help from his other DJ's considering his injury, but stayed quite a while to make sure everything was running smoothly.  I was also impressed with the volume levels of the music not being over powering.  Great job and I would highly recommend DJ Klock Entertainment!" Deb Etter, Personal Trainer

For: Pete Weaver, Spacemart Late last year, I had the opportunity to meet with Pete Weaver from Spacemart Self Storage to learn about his business. I was impressed with the cleanliness, organization, and overall business that Pete runs for SpaceMart Self Storage. I would recommend SpaceMart over any of the other self storage locations in the area because Pete cares about his business and his customers. Pete will go the extra mile to make sure the client is satisfied. Great job Pete!  Mike Grenier, President, Mr. Costsaver

For: George Holevas, Remax Realtor I want to thank you so very much for coming out on Sunday,and everything that you have done to highlight the benefits of the property on the behalf of your sellers!  You really did your duty to them in promptly responding to my interest.They should be happy to have you as their representative agent. Michelle Hogan - Client was represented by another Realtor

Thank you for helping us through this,it was an experience I will say that much. I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season and enjoy the NEW YEAR.  I hope that all goes well with you and that you DO a booming business in 2007!!!!  When spring time comes I would like to have you and if you would like to bring someone along, over for a cookout.  Hopefully we will have somethings done to the house by then.  We have some ideas on things we want to change, but like everything else it takes money.   Robyn Bishop - Buyer

On August 15, 2008 we listed our house for sale with Remax (George Holevas).  Even with the economy the way it is currently, our house sold in less than two months due to George's advanced internet website housing search.  We also found our new home using George's housing search engine as well.  The entire process was smooth and hastle free.  Thanks for your hard work George, we are extremely happy in our new home.
Aron & Lindsey Hoffman - Buyer & Seller

As our seller agent, George scheduled multiple showings according to our unusual schedule. His advice and reassurance at various times during this period was invaluable and without which, we undoubtedly would have settled for less. We used him also as our buyer agent several months later. He listened to our needs and lined up a variety of homes in our price range/location and space needs without wasting our time. When we couldn’t decide between two, he sat down with us and helped us determine which one would suit us the best. It was amazing how quickly and smoothly he managed to pull together the deal despite difficult sellers. The house was immaculate and all minor repairs taken care of before we moved in. He even managed to negotiate a break on price. I can’t say enough about George’s attentiveness, regular communication and regard for our needs. He even went above and beyond his obligation to us by locating a truck and helping with the move. What real estate agent does THAT?  Linda Rogers, Lindro Advertising Art & Design

For: Laura Lee Lukunich, QuickBooks Pro Advisor

Several months ago, I took the time to sit down with Laura Lee to go over Quickbooks to help manage my business. She did a great job with the presentation and was very thorough in reviewing my needs and answering all my questions. I decided, after the meeting, to buy the software and start entering data. About a month after I purchased the software, I sat down with Laura, who went over my actual transactions and made my life so much better. Of course, I had done some things that were not right and she corrected them, but she also thought me how to use all of the applications related to my business. I would strongly recommend Laura Lee Lukunich to everyone who is thinking about getting Quickbooks and to everyone who has purchased Quickbooks and needs support. She is great at what she does, is the expert, and takes time to coach and support her clients. Mike Grenier, President, Mr. Costsaver (back to top)

For Scott McClure, Ansome Computers

Scott McClure provides the most excellent IT support in town! I’ve utilized Scott’s services in two capacities, one for my businesses and two for my clients’ businesses. For my businesses, Scott has provided everything from middle-of-the-night remote support for a failed computer to consulting to assure we select proper hardware. For my clients, Scott provides all hardware and POS implementation services. I count on Scott to be there whenever and wherever needed, and he never fails to leave me – and my clients – completely satisfied.

For Jack Panas, Jack Panas Insurance, Inc. When Jack joined our group, my husband and I thought we’d give his company an opportunity to look at all our coverages – homes, water craft, vehicles, business liability, and umbrella – to see if he could suggest improvements over what we had and to see if he could save us some money. Boy am I glad wedid because not only does Panas Insurance save us hundreds of dollars in a single year but that savings includes increased lines of coverage with some of the policies. Laura Lee Lukunich, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Preferred Business Services Provider, and Joe Radle, Owner, Radle Electric (back to top)

For Bob Pease, Pease Insurance, Inc. We were at a point where we wanted to add benefits to our company so called on Bob Pease to get quotes. Working with Bob was easy as he walked us through each step of the process. Everything from his suggestions to his presentations were professional. And we don’t have to spend a lot of time keeping tabs on our benefits for we are confident that Bob will pro-actively manage our account while we attend to business. Laura Lee Lukunich and Joe Radle, Owners, Radle Electric (back to top)

For Linda Rogers, Lindro Advertising Art & Design If you need graphics work of any kind, you must talk to this award-winning graphics artist! We cannot begin to express our level of complete satisfaction for Linda’s work and “wow-pricing”. Linda has accommodated all our marketing needs, from postcards for our direct mail campaign, to various ads for miscellaneous print advertising, to a new website. Laura Lee Lukunich and Joe Radle, Owners, Radle Electric (back to top)

For Jim Olshefski, Complete Inspection Agency I am always looking for ways to save money, so when Jim joined our group, I asked him to give me a bid on a pest control maintenance program for my home and rental properties. Soon thereafter, I switched to Jim’s Complete Inspection Agency to the tune of more than $100 a year savings. Not only am I saving money, but “the big boys” do not come close to the customer service that Jim provides with his ongoing educational tidbits and little extras regularly thrown in.

For MaureenRoyer, Media Buyer, Moxie

"Maureen's media planning and buying expertise has played a very significant role in the success of Smith Village. She always moves quickly and efficiently to meet deadlines, while negotiating the best rates to stretch our advertising budgets. I would rate Maureen and Moxie up there with the best." ~Colleen Schaffner, Director of Advertising, Smith Village Home Furnishings

My partner and I hired Mike Grenier and his company Mr. Cost Saver to install a Power Factor Correction device at our car wash several months ago. The business at our car wash has increased by anywhere from 50% to 100% over the same time period last year, and since this device was installed our electric bills have shown virtually no increase when compared to the same periods. This device literally paid for itself in a month or two due to our reduced costs. Further, Mike and his company installed the device in a timely, courteous and professional manner. I highly recommend Mike and his company to anyone who wants to reduce their costs.My partner and I hired Mike Grenier and his company Mr. Cost Saver to install a Power Factor Correction device at our car wash several months ago.

For Curtis Smith, WHP 580 Talk Radio Our company successfully participated in WHP’s online auction, and Curtis was thorough and thoughtful in walking us through that process with everything from how best to place our ad to the making of a creative radio ad, all seemingly easily leading to an expanded customer base. Thank you, Curtis! Laura Lee Lukunich and Joe Radle, Owners, Radle Electric (back to top)

For Lisa Kavish, Mary Kay Lisa loves what she does, and that translates into you receiving beyond-excellent customer service! Each time I have referred Lisa to a new customer, each customer in turn has contacted me – multiple times – to say what a thrill it is to know Lisa and how much money she has saved them. Laura Lee Lukunich, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Preferred Business Services Provider (back to top)

For Elaine Davis, E. Davis Consulting, LLC Elaine Davis exemplifies the epidimy of professional outsourced human resource services. On top of every aspect of her profession, she also brings a lot of heart to the job. That means that she cares, and that means that you will reap rewards from your association. To say that Elaine goes above and beyond sounds trite but in this instance it is meant literally!

For Kristen Wilson, Aflac Insurance Kristen is a dynamo and is passionate about providing you or your company with the right Aflac insurance. After spending some time to get to know Kristen, I can tell you that it was a joy for me to introduce her to a handful of my clients. I am confident that in Kristen’s hands, any of my clients needs will be satisfied. I mean, it doesn’t get any better than with Kristen and Aflac whereby the employer gets to beef-up their benefits package…without any cost to the employer! Laura Lee Lukunich, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Preferred Business Services Provider (back to top)

For Nevin Beyer, Velocity Financial Services After getting to know Nevin through our association at CPNG, I felt compelled to introduce him and his business to a realtor friend. Since that introduction, that realtor has told me numerous times about how delighted she is with their association. From everything I see and hear, Nevin is your go-to person for getting your home loan done! Laura Lee Lukunich, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Preferred Business Services Provider

My family and I have used Velocity a number of times in the past few years to finance three homes. Nevin's invaluable coaching helped clear up credit problems in order to qualify for the best fixed rates available. I've found Nevin to be personable and extraordinarily honest. He takes the time to educate his clients. He doesn't sell superfluous financial products and lets his clients know ALL the costs of the product they choose -- current and future. This is protection not offered by most mortgage brokers, whose main goal is their own profit and you never hear from them after the sale. We appreciate his follow-ups on the state of the mortgage market and how it will effect homeowners. We also get money saving advice from Velocity when interest rates dip, when something is happening on the financial front, or when our personal credit ratings improve and make it worthwhile to refinance at a lower rate. He's never recommended to us the types of mortgages that balloon after a few years-- the type of mortgage that has proven hazardous to many homeowners. He's on top of his game and puts the interest of his clients first. Lots of repeat business says he's the best in the area.  Linda Rogers, Lindro Advertising Design (back to top)

For Brian Etter, B. Etter Flooring and Remodeling Prompt and best-pricing are two words illustrating what you will experience when you hire or work with Brian Etter. When we first discovered a leak in one section of our roof, we though “ugh!” and shuddered at the thought of a costly replacement and expected long wait to get the work done. But not so – Brian squeezed us into his schedule and worked late into the night to get the leak fixed at a cost considerably less than expected. Brian is also a great go-to person for contractors. Certain that our customers will appreciate our recommendation, we have been able to refer Brian to many customers and in some instances to work side-by-side with Brian on residential remodels. Laura Lee Lukunich, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Preferred Business Services Provider, and Joe Radle, Owner, Radle Electric (back to top)

For Kreitzer Automotive:  I took my car to Jim’s garage to have new tires installed and get the brakes redone. Jim worked around my schedule to accommodate me and gave me a loaner car to use to accommodate me while my car was bring worked on. Jim and his team did a great job. Not only does my car ride better and smoother than when I first purchased it, but his price was less than the competitors. I was a little concerned about taking my car all the way across town, but it was well worth the drive and the time! Great job Jim and your team! Mike Grenier • Mr. Costsaver
