I have recently been introduced to Freedom Networking of Maine.  There is a new startup chapter in the Portland, Maine market that will be meeting on Wednesday mornings at 7am.  We meet downtown and take advantage of the free on street parking available before 9am.

The Portland chapter will be the second Freedom Networking of Maine group in the area.  The original, South Portland chapter, has 16 members currently. 

If you are interested in learning more about this networking opportunity please follow the link to the website:  www.freedomnetworkingofmaine.com

The group will allow only one member from each profession, similar to a BNI group.  There is not a realtor in the Portland chapter at this time. 

A mortgage consultation is always free and without obligation.  The information provided is always valuable.
