Welcome to ReGroup! Business & Personal Solutions!

Remarkable Events

Our sister business is What a Great Event!, which developed naturally from our clients' needs for project management, fund-raising and marketing.  What a Great Event! produces our own events as well as those for our clients, and includes trade shows, non-profit resource fairs, open houses, staff retreats, product roll-outs, and even themed weddings (we produced our own very cool pirate-themed wedding, which people are still talking about!).

Among our own events coming up in 2013 are:

May 09-10: The Greater Androscoggin Landlords & Real Estate Investors Conference and Trade Show at the Ramada Inn & Conference Center.

June 08-09: The Androscoggin Pet Expo at the Lewiston Armory on Central Avenue.

September: The Greater Bangor Landlords & Real Estate Investors Conference and Trade Show.

October 05-06: The Greater Bangor Area Pet Expo at the new Cross Insurance Arena.

November: The Southern Maine Landlords & Real Estate Investors Conference and Trade Show.

If you're a non-profit or business looking to raise money or awareness for your organization, call us soon!  A well-planned project takes time & care, and should not be rushed.

Real Estate

Marketing & Back Office Operations.

Does your real estate or property investment business need someone to handle your back office operations, business plan writing, project management, tightening up finances or marketing?  ReGroup! has the experience to handle it all for you.  And if you need a property manager to manage your tenant headaches, we will gladly refer you to a professional property management firm - On the Spot Rentals - owned and operated by John Snyder, A.S.  You can check out his website at www.onthespotrentals.com.

Conferences & Trade Shows.

We are producing the Greater Androscoggin Landlords & Real Estate Investors Conference and Trade Show on May 9-10 at the Ramada Inn & Conference Center, 490 Pleasant Street in Lewiston.  You can find more information on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/AndroRealEstateLandlordExpo/ or on LinkedIn under Maine Real Estate Investors Group.

Two more landlords & real estate investors conferences are being planned for later in 2013.

Maine Real Estate Investors Group - presently mothballed (in "regroup" mode...)

A blend of trade association and chamber of commerce in design, the Maine Real Estate Investors Group (MREIG) offers chapter meetings, brown bag lunches, on-site tours, fee-based workshop, a job matching service... and more.

MREIG is a regional (and perhaps soon to be statewide) organization; with the initial goal of 9 chapters from Saco to Bangor, each meeting monthly (except July). 

The chapter meetings consist of networking, good food, a guest speaker with Q & A session, and when possible, member roundtables for problem-solving or trouble-shooting a pressing concern.

Everyone involved in the real estate arena is invited to join: new and experienced investors/landlords/owners, bankers, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, appraisers, builders, building inspectors, and anyone else with a serious interest in real estate.

We also welcome vendors and ancillary service providers.  Why not sponsor a meeting or two?

Resource Enhancement & Risk Evaluation

Resource Enhancement means ensuring you have access to the best workforce and bottom line we can help you develop.  After all, your employees are among your organization's most important resources, right?

Services include: 

• physical plant analysis (office, retail, multi-unit, warehouse, and manufacturing up to 1 million square feet or more),
• assessing (or writing) policies & procedures to assure consistency, safety and buy-in from the staff
• helping you write a business plan or grant-application 
• scheduling and presenting staff training & workshops
• developing strategic plans & succession plans
• designing quality employee orientations

and helping any organization looking to cut costs or tighten up its finances.

The red ink bleeds throughout - employee, vendor, customer, physical plant, utilities, you name it - are identified and specific recommendations made.

Done on a consultant basis.

Our Risk Evaluation services are of a practical nature. 

We look at your day-to-day operations and help you identify the typical scenarios with the greatest potential risk that are most likely to happen to your particular organization.  We are not going to advise you to spend excessive amounts of money preparing for an unlikely event.  We will, however, point out the daily risks that all organizations face and offer inexpensive preventative measures.

Connect & OutSource!

Connect.

Handling your social media needs... You know you have to be on Facebook and LinkedIn at the very minimum, and maybe you've done that.  But do you know how to use them for great results?  And if you do, do you have the time (or interest) in being on social media when other work is demanding your attention?

Board Training and Mentor/Board Member Connections... Every entrepreneur needs an advisor - whether she knows it or not, and whether she believes it or not - no matter what stage of the business cycle her company is in. 

We can match you to a mentor, or interview and screen people for your advisory or governing board.
