PASSION FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP
SPARKS GROWTH IN A CHALLENGING ECONOMY
Carlos Rosado is passionate about making people look good and making them feel good about themselves and he is a passionate entrepreneur!
During of the height of our current economic doldrums Carlos decided to open a new business and create a job for him and three others. He opened Luxury Cuts Barber Shop on February 4, 2010 in Parkhill Plaza in Fitchburg. Carlos is a Master Barber with a passion for cutting hair. His drive to attain the highest level of professionalism in his craft made him an instant success.
Carlos continues to see a lot of potential in the area for barbering services and is opening a second location at Johnny Appleseed Plaza on Central Street in Leominster on March 1st.
The new location will immediately create four new positions in his two-year old company and Carlos anticipates that number will grow to seven by the end of this spring. Joining the staff at Luxury Cuts Barber Shop in Leominster will be Matthew Poudrette, one of the best barbers in the area specializing in men’s styling and beard trims. ‘Willo’, who specializes in fades and hot-towel straight-blade shaves, will also join the Leominster staff. Also, Vicente Huertas will be a great addition after graduating from Alexander Academy Barber/Stylist School, states Carlos.
Carlos notes that Luxury Cuts Barber Shop takes appointments and also accommodates walk-ins. They are open 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. He further states that Senior Citizens Discounts are available every day!
Carlos is the first alumni of Alexander Academy to open a multiple-location business. He receives much gratification from creating jobs that support other area families. and speaking of family; Carlos stresses that his shop is very family oriented.
Carlos worked with Ray Belanger at Twin Cities Community Development Corporation to create a comprehensive business plan to launch the initial business and again to expand to the second location. Funding for the Fitchburg location was provided through the City of Fitchburg Micro-Loan Fund Program and the Leominster location has been funded by the North Central Massachusetts Development Corporation Micro-Loan Program.

Ron’s Antiques

Filed under Spotlight Business
Leominster’s own “New England Picker”
Throughout much of society, the antique business has become increasingly popular as a means to obtain unique pieces of history. Over the years there has also been an influx of antique/collectible television shows focusing on the discovery of hidden gems. Ron Cormier, the owner of Ron’s Antiques, considers himself to be the original “New England picker.” Since 1975 Ron has developed a solid reputation in the community. He discovered his passion for the antique business when he looked at getting rid of his own collection of items. Upon visiting a flea market to sell his goods he became intrigued with the items he saw and the rest is history! Ron began his career working for some of the biggest dealers in the country as a way to learn the business from the bottom up. For the past 37 years Ron has become a reputable antique buyer and seller, buying and selling a wide variety of items and working with restaurants, local and national customers.
Ron is especially interested in items that have been used in households and businesses. Some of his favorite finds include 50’s malt shop signs, vintage gumball machines, cigar cutters from local general stores, canvas covered canoes used for fishing on local lakes, hand egg beaters, lobster pots and bowls used for generations of cooking, farming items, apple orchards, wooden picking ladders, fishing materials and anchors.
For many years Ron owned a few of his own antique shops but eventually decided that he preferred conducting business in the antiques road shows. Ron attends about ten road shows a year and covers shows from Maine down to the Carolinas. By attending these events, he has created a solid network of business and customer connections, which enable him to offer a wide range of antique expertise and knowledge to his customers.
Ron admits there are many challenges to the business. The rising cost of fuel and the down economy account for consumers not willing to spend. He also faces a lot of competition both at the local level (consignment shops and other road show dealers) and the national level (giant retailers). He believes that many customers prefer to purchase a unique piece rather than buying from giant retailers. With this competitive advantage, Ron embraces his competition and diligently keeps up with researching antique business trends as a means to set himself apart from his competition.
Ron’s charismatic nature really brings life to the antique business. He loves his job and has a thirst for digging in and discovering the unique story behind each of his antiques. Ron plans to continue to steadily grow his business by means of road shows and is fully committed to providing his customers with quality antiques.

Local Realtor Receives National Health Care Recognition

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Local Realtor® Receives National Health Care Recognition
Lana Kopsala of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage recognized for excellence in service to area medical professionals
Leominster, MA (February 1, 2012) – According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are approximately 700,000 physicians in the United States who work in excess of 60 hours per week. While their earning potential is the highest among any profession in the US, a blizzard of government regulations and a host of clinical and economic issues leave little time for a doctor to manage their professional and personal lives.
In response, an elite group of professionals is emerging as specialists to the medical community. In recognition of her work with area health care executives and physicians, Lana Kopsala of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has been named an MD Preferred Real Estate Agent. Each year, US Medical Specialties, Inc., a national medical consulting firm, recognizes excellence in service to the medical community in a number of disciplines including real estate, insurance, accounting, banking, financial and legal services. The goals of the MD Preferred Program for Real Estate include identifying, acknowledging and promoting agents who provide service excellence to the medical community.
The program provides medical professionals with an online resource center where they can find profiles and contact information of “doctor friendly” professionals who are committed to providing a quality service experience. “Doctors are very busy professionals,” observed Michael O’Malley, Project Manager of MD Preferred Services. “When it comes to finding a real estate/relocation agent that specializes in serving physicians, they appreciate an organization that has done the research for them and has pulled a team together to make their lives easier. Our online resource center is the place where their search can begin and end.”
Every MD Preferred real estate agent is selected for their commitment to serving the healthcare industry. They often work in close concert with other community based MD Preferred professionals helping area medical providers attract and retain talented physicians.
MD Preferred agents are uniquely qualified to act as recruiting partners to area practice managers and hospital administrators. As partners they can tell the community story while the medical recruiter tells the clinical story. Their knowledge of the area and understanding of the special needs of physicians and their families saves everyone time and resources.
“We are proud of the recognition we have received. In an environment of critical physician shortage, we understand that most physicians considering a career in our community will make their decision based primarily on life style issues,” Ms Kopsala observed. “The last thing we want to have happen is for that prospective physician to go elsewhere because the local support services he or she needed were either not available, were unreliable or did not meet the expectations of the physician. We are always ready to meet with area physician groups to demonstrate how high net worth, high income professionals can access incredibly attractive financing and take advantage of once in a life time values.”
ABOUT LANA KOPSALA
Lana Kopsala is an Accredited Real Estate Professional and Relocation Specialist, and is a recipient of the Coldwell Banker International Diamond and Vice President of Sales Awards. “My background as a Paralegal in a real estate focused law firm has been an invaluable asset in this ever-changing industry” states Kopsala. “As a Certified Negotiation Specialist, my clients can be assured they are receiving the highest quality representation”. Lana serves on the Professional Standards Committee of the North Central Massachusetts Board of Realtors and has received their Top Producer Award. For additional information contact Ms. Kopsala at 978-855-9112 or visit https://www.facebook.com/LanaSellsHomes . Lana is associated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage located at 4 Monument Square, Leominster, MA 01453.
About MD Preferred physician Services
Each year the MD Preferred designation recognizes a diverse group of ‘doctor friendly’ professional service providers. MD Preferred providers can be found at an online resource center, www.MDPreferredServices.com. Access is available at no cost to the medical community. MD Preferred also manages one of the industry’s largest medical job boards, publishes a daily medical blog and distributes a monthly E-Newsletter to every residency and fellowship program in the country. For additional information contact Mike O’Malley at 800-260-8366.

Looking Forward to Spring
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
FEBRUARY 2011
There are many reasons to look forward to spring. Thoughts of spring flowers and April showers can be a real respite from the bitter ice and cold that many are experiencing in the northeastern half of the U.S. For those of us in real estate, the spring selling season is literally just around the corner and there is much to prepare for in advance.
The spring season is historically the busiest time of year in real estate so if you are thinking of putting your home on the market for this coming selling season, now is really the perfect time to meet with a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sales professional to discuss your options. There is much a homeowner needs to prepare for and a sales professional can help you prioritize and map-out your plan.
The spring market is a prime opportunity for sellers to capture motivated buyers, and sellers need to ensure their property stands out from the competition. To do so, price positioning and home presentation are critical factors in attracting a buyer’s attention.
Your Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sales professional will provide you with a competitive market analysis and review current market conditions with you. You can also look to the attached graph to gauge what is currently happening in your marketplace. Your sales professional will use this information along with a review of current inventory, recent comparable sales prices and other data to advise you. In addition, your sales professional will know which competitive properties currently on the market will impact you and can guide you on the optimal listing price to sell your home.
They will also direct you on how to prepare your home for maximum appeal. With spring only a few months away you have just enough time to remove the clutter, repaint, repair and refurbish those areas of your home that need it.
If your home is currently on the market, it is still a great time to review your current marketing plan and prepare to make the adjustments necessary to remain competitive during the high-selling season.
Regardless of the amount of snow on the ground right now, the reality is spring isn’t too far away. Be prepared and call your Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage real estate professional today.
