Holistic Marketing

The world is changing. We are in an age of asymmetric advantages and efficiencies. The internet itself is one of these efficiencies. Those who don’t take advantage of it are at a severe disadvantage. Within online marketing, there are necessary efficiencies that have to be in place in order to compete. One of the reasons for this is that much of the advertising world online is based on an auction environment and things get bid up to the point where only those companies with everything in place can compete.

One company that focuses on a holistic approach to marketing is Boston-based FireRock Marketing.

Residential Solar Panel Choices

Today, there are a wide variety of choices with residential solar panels for your home. The solar market is booming and bringing many choices to consumers. There are three common types of panels in use. These are monocrystaline, polycrystalline and thin film solar which is also called amorphous.

Monocrystalline solar panels have the highest efficiency rates. This is because they are made out of the highest-grade silicon.

Polycrystalline solar panels are less efficient than monocrystalline and have lower space efficiencies requiring greater surface areas. These also have a lower heat tolerance than the monocrystalline.

Ask the experts at Summit Solar Energy.

Generally solar panels come with a 20 year warranties and sometimes state that at least 80% of the rated power will still be generated at that time.

Thin film are used because they are cheaper to manufacture and can be flexible. The big disadvantage is the need for a lot of space since they are less efficient.

Some things to consider when choosing a manufacturer and installer:

  • Find someone who has been in the business for years.
  • Take a look at online reviews in Google and Yelp.
  • The installer should be knowledgeable about different brands.
  • Ask about the performance warranties.

A Long Road Well Traveled: All About Dana Michael Chiles

Who Is Dana Chiles?
By Sophia McMaster

To be honest, we interviewed and researched Dana Chiles with the expectation of an entirely different result and opinion.   However, who he is was entirely unexpected and previously unknown to us.  What we found was an entrepreneur who is a real estate investment enthusiast with a deeply seated passion for giving everyone the opportunity to live in decent and beautiful premises regardless of race, wealth, social standing or any affiliations that divide us.  The things we discovered about his personal characteristics and interests were vast and as well very much unknown to most.  We believe for the most part, by design.

To turn this passion to a viable reality, he has invested his time, money and resources to study and invest in real estate laws, regulations, policies and market trends to enable him to spot the opportunities available and to make a difference in people’s lives.

Dana seems to thrive on watching his actions changing people’s’ lives for the better. He says that he “always look forward to the next opportunity that I get in putting a decent roof over someone’s family of business”.

The Start and his Mark

Dana’s journey in real estate dates back when he was 20 years old. He had bought an income producing property for $47,000 in the City of Brockton MA and most people thought he had made a big mistake. However, he understood the market in-depth, and this turned out to be a great business decision and he hasn’t looked back since then.

Since then he has transacted 100s of millions of dollars in commercial and residential real estate ventures, land development and home construction. Additionally, he has revitalized and rehabilitated 100s of properties and residential housing units in and beyond Massachusetts.  This combined several many large scale residential properties and hundreds of redevelopment ventures.

Dana explained to us that he needed a platform to create through which he could directly influence the transformation of not only depressed neighborhoods but also clients’ ideas into realities in all real estate matters. By coordinating architects, construction managers, structural engineers, quantity surveyors he could simplify the real estate processes of construction, renovation and valuation.

Dana has visible footprints in the Greater Boston and most communities of Southeastern Massachusetts.

 

Business Facts and Awards:

One of the things that has made Daisher-Chiles Companies Ltd unique and popular is the experienced team behind the operations. His excellent team ensures that all ventures are served with professionalism. Their services are customized for different needs and budgets, and they say that they have “everything for everyone.” Moreover, their knowledge of real estate requirements and the market enables them to give their clients the best opportunities.

Startup and established Real Estate Development firms should invest in human and capital resources adequately before everything else. In doing so, they will not divert their focus to chasing after money which can compromise service delivery. Instead, they will be directing their skills and competencies towards carrying out feasibility studies, sourcing for the best material and expertise. This systematic sequence of operations will lead to good client experiences, reputation growth and eventually financial gain. Dana recognizes that none of his success came alone.  It is the result of amazing people of whom he has and still aligns with that have made the vision a success.  He said to us, “I don’t want to be the smartest person in the room.  I just want to be the hardest worker in the room every single time!”

His areas of expertise are; real estate markets analysis, regulations laws, property development, construction management, property rehabilitation, and real estate investment.  He enjoys working the most, as well as exercise, combat arts training and any precious free time with family and friends.  There certainly have been sacrifices at his own choice.  Having not been married or having children yet inspire him to seek balance he knows and looks forward that will come.

Some National and International real estate bodies have recognized Mr. Chiles for his efforts. Some of the recognition awarded are;

  • Prudential Real Estate Affiliates in Easton MA, where he served as a director and was a Nationwide Chairman’s Circle Award at 22 years of age.
  • The Leading Edge Award.
  • The International Blade Fighters Guild Award.

 

Bumps in the Road

To point out an important fact, he has been tried and tested and proven to be worthy of operating this real estate ventures from the thousands of success stories from elated customers, clients and business partners. He has taken on the most challenging urban areas and revitalized neighborhoods at a time when others would not dare.  In fact, he started his career recognizing these conditions, needs and providing solutions with the risk of his own capital and wealth.  We learned from others of the hundreds of men and women his operations have employed and the thousands of vendors, suppliers and subcontractors he has provided opportunity for.  Never do you hear of him talk about these facts.  He remains humble in his accomplishments.

There have been some minor and a couple more significant setbacks and challenges.  Some that were easily fixable and others that regrettable affected Dana himself and others as well.  This bothers Mr. Chiles still to this day but he realizes and accepts that after so many successful relationships, clients, and transactions in his life spanned throughout his young career, that those people are his most appreciative but silent supporters.  He also realizes that the unhappy minority speak the loudest and the perils of a failed venture or two, has a long lasting effect on many.   With great risk and great gain, not everyone can or will be happy.   It is not for this reason but for many other personal ones that he has always worked hard to correct his mistakes, learn and be even better.  One is reinventing business models and at the same time making existing ones better.  Another is learning from those mistakes. Also, learning from the people and his audience, and taking none of his successes or mistakes for granted while still working hard to give back. Dana tries to learn from all of his experiences from the past and forgetting no one deserving for the future.  This has been his mission during the most successful and the most difficult times.  He may be very much misunderstood in this regard by those who not close enough to truly know or witness is incredibly hard work.

It is difficult for a person to truly understand the life of a person like this if they have never or will never walk a day in their shoes.  If for not for these types of individuals, many of us would not be working for businesses and would not have opportunity.  Risk takers and business leaders don’t deserve a pat on the back.  This is their choice for good or for bad results.  They do deserve respect.  Respect for the choices that others will not make.

We found that Mr Chiles is an entrepreneur, business leader, risk taker and opportunity provider.  He works harder today at that mission than ever while still making all the same personal and professional sacrifices to lead by example.  Seeking growth that can only come for tremendous commitment and faith.  This is something we all can learn from

It has not been an easy road for Mr Chiles just as it is not been for any entrepreneur or business investor.  It is just a long tough road traveled!

I asked Mr. Chiles to address what he would like to say to clients in general.  Here is what he said, “First, I feel honored by your commitment and goodwill of all those who support and trust me or allow me to make a difference in your lives. Second, I would like you to know that it is you who have been giving me the energy to go on and the wisdom to improve and be better. Third, I would like to extend an olive branch to any and all who feel that their experience with our group has been less than excellent. Our goal is to make what is wrong, right and what is right, even better. These are my opportunities for growth and ones that i am thankful to learn from. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all our clients speak so highly of what we do or have done for them and remain supportive always most often times silently. For that we are heartily grateful.

Dana Chiles is a fascinating man with vast business and real estate accomplishments born from years of personal sacrifice. We are honored to have met him and hope this article has given you an insight just in part as to him and as well his enterprises.  We wish him the very best of luck.

Using Pest Control Services

Pest infestation can be a nuisance and downright irritating. No one wants to enter their home only to be greeted by the ugly sight of houseflies, spiders, several roaches and rodents scampering to safety.

The problem becomes worse if those rodents and insects have invaded your business. Not only are you likely to lose valuable clients, but you may also find yourself on the wrong side of the law for not adhering to local business regulations.

If you are experiencing this problem, you could try solving it on your own. However, in cases where the problem is recurrent, it would be advisable to look for professional help. Using pest control services will almost always guarantee complete eradication of those little bastards. However, that is not the only advantage.

Other benefits of using professional pest control services include:

Improved Health

Professionals will sort out your pest infestation problem once and for all. Mosquitoes and other insects that bite will be eliminated. Your house will also be free from flies and other pests that could cause diseases. Overall, your family’s health will improve, and there will be fewer visits to the doctor.

Lower Risk of Contamination

Attempting to eradicate pests on your own could be risky. Some over the counter remedies may not be entirely safe if misused. Hiring a professional who knows how to handle these chemicals will keep you from risking your health.

Proper Use of Chemicals

Improper use of pesticides may be harmful. Professional exterminators know the right amount of chemicals to use depending on the degree and type of pest invasion. Doing this will get rid of pests and still keep your home safe from toxic chemicals.

Peaceful Nights

Everyone loves a good night’s sleep. However, those bedbugs and mosquitoes may not let you enjoy this pleasure. Using pest control services will eradicate this problem, and you can go ahead and enjoy a peaceful night.

Time Savings

You do not need to take the whole day off trying to manage the problem on your own. Professionals can still come while you are at work. For business premises, they could do so at night or during the weekend depending on your preferences.

Step by Step Approach

Most pest control services first conduct an inspection, eradicate the pests and later make follow-up visits. Follow-ups ensure that pest infestations do not recur. You will also make monetary savings as you do not need to keep spending money on expensive pesticides.

Bottom Line

If you are experiencing a pest problem, do not hesitate to seek the help of professional pest control service providers. It may be a little expensive, but the pest problem will be eradicated in its entirety.

Why Tully’s Cleaning

Why Tully’s Cleaning?

Over last few years, I have changed eight different cleaning companies and said no to even more. Not only you have to look at how reliable the cleaning company’s crew is but also if they know their work. And obviously, I love cleaning companies that have all the latest equipment. More capable machines do their work more efficiently and effectively.

Whenever I interview a cleaning company’s rep, I always ask them a few questions. The last cleaning company that I was using stopped upgrading their equipment while there were frequent changes in the staff. I wasn’t sure if I could continue letting them in the house.

About the questions that I ask, they really help me choose the right cleaning company. If you are looking for a good cleaning company, make sure you too ask your potential service provider the following questions:

How established is the company?

I don’t weigh this a lot but the status of a company still helps. It allows you to track a company if something goes wrong. An established company is also better at giving you the cost and quality guarantees.

What services do they offer?

If a company doesn’t offer the entire range of services that you are after, then there’s no need to hire it.

How trained is the staff?

You may not be able to know this until you see a demonstration but you can take an assurance from the cleaning company about how trained their crew is. Before contracting, find out if the cleaning company trains their staff.

Do they any certifications?

For this, I usually go on a cleaning company’s website and check if they have any certifications. Once you do that, make sure to visit the cleaning company’s office and double check if they actually have the certifications.

Are they offering green cleaning?

If you care about the environment and prefer green cleaning, then ask the cleaning company if they have environment-friendly cleaning practices. Remember that green cleaning isn’t just good for nature but also your health. A recent study suggests that house cleaning with cleaner is just as bad as smoking.

Do they have good referrals?

I take referrals with the grain of salt but I still don’t mind looking at them because it’s very convenient for companies to lie about their clients.

How accommodating is the cleaning company?

Don’t expect a cleaning company to cut down their prices or offer extra services. Just see if they are cooperative.

With their 35 years of experience in the residential and commercial cleaning, they are the best in Rockland without a doubt.

Advantages of Solar Panels for Your Home

The many advantages of solar panels for your home

We all know that solar panels have long-term benefits not just for the environment but also for you in terms of savings but what many forget to iterate is that there are short-term advantages of using solar panels for your home. It’s, in fact, a win-win for you and for nature. Obviously, you have to do the math before making an investment in solar panels and for that, it’s highly recommended to get in contact with a licensed and qualified solar professional. But all that can be sorted once you have decided to go with solar panels for your home.

Your electricity bills go down considerably

If you live in a sunny state with lots of sunlight to shine on your home’s roof for the most part of the year, you could save tons. Furthermore, if you have set your house for net metering, the excess energy can be supplied to the power grid, sold as a utility. According to North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center, it costs significantly less to get energy from a fully-financed solar PV system than local utility. The study concludes that this holds true for 42 out of 50 largest cities of the United States.

Areas that are closer to the equator generally have a higher potential for producing solar energy as compared to those that are frequently overcast. When it comes to the United States, much of the area is suitable for solar energy. Some States like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, California, Nevada, Colorado, and Utah are super suitable for solar energy.

Less Pollution

When you are meeting your energy needs through solar energy, you are generating less demand for energy from coal power plants. This, in effect, leads to less pollution. Considering how direly our environment needs a fix for pollution, solar energy comes in as a relief for the environment.

Quieter, so less noise pollution

Solar panels hardly make any noise because there are no moving parts unless you are using a PV array that with a rotational axis. But even then, the noise is so minimal that it’s unnoticeable. Even other renewable energy sources like wind turbines make significant noise as there are moving parts that make more noise as winds pick up. One reason why wind turbines are usually installed in remote locations like farms, etc.

Accessible in remote areas

People living in remote areas with no access to electricity the traditional way or areas that are off the grid can benefit from solar energy.

Although there’s an upfront cost involved with the installation of solar energy panels, the savings made in electricity bills are considerable. And if there’s enough sunlight, there’s a chance to sell the energy back. Not to forget the amount of damage that fossil fuels are doing to the environment.
