Come talk to our exhibitors for FREE!
The Greater Androscoggin Real Estate, Housing and Land Use Conference is tomorrow – Friday, November 8 – at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center in Lewiston.
Along with the conference, which offers CEUs for real estate agents and land use engineers, as well as workshops for landlords, will be a small vendor fair with some very cool exhibitors.
To get into the conference – which includes a hot buffet lunch with keynote speaker speaker Jim Bennett, sponsored by Bathfitter, and a presentation by our Designated Non-Profit, John F Murphy Homes, Inc – there’s an $89 fee.
However, we’ve just decided to open the mini vendor fair up to the public – for free – because we want to give our exhibitors the opportunity to talk to as many interested people as we can bring in for them.
So come on over to the Ramada between 9:30-12:00, or 1:15-3:30, and pick the brains of these great businesses. We’ll also give you a copy of the Conference Program to take home with you. (And of course, if you decide you want to take the workshops, we’ll gladly accommodate you, for that $89 fee – or even a pro-rated portion.)
Our Keynote Speaker Sponsor. Jeff will be glad to talk to you about your bathroom renovations.
John F Murphy Homes, Inc is our Designated Non Profit. They offer comprehensive supports for people with intellectual disabilities. Leslie would love to tell you about them.

How often do you get to pick a lawyer’s brain for free? Well, you won’t be able to here, either, but Attorney Matthew will be offering a workshop for anyone who signs up for the conference… at $89 for the entire day, including picking his brain, you’ll spend less money than you ordinarily would for half an hour of most attorney’s time.
Medical marijuana…. marijuana for personal use (in Portland, anyway). Dangerous dog breeds. Insurance companies are struggling with these issues and the answers aren’t easy. Matt will fill you in.
In the morning, John will be busy teaching his “So You Want to Be a Landlord” class, but after that, he’ll be available to talk about property management, engineering issues, or even two of his passions: fostering dogs through local rescues, and playing keyboards.
Celeste makes the most beautiful housewarming and other gift baskets in town. No time to shop? She’ll take care of it for you.
Bruce teaches our 8 CEU courses for real estate agents and engineers – and keeps people entertained while he’s doing them.
