Members of the Chamber Ambassadors and the Young Professionals held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Blue Frog Realty to celebrate the opening of their new business.

Owner/Broker, Jen Dockter and realtor/owner, Tricia Seckerson, joined the chamber committee members in the ribbon cutting celebration.  This business is located at 406 1st Avenue North in Jamestown.  They shared their story about the company, and stated that they are an independent realty and as such have the flexibility to market their own way.

 

For example, they will be having a “name the frog” contest in the near future to help market their company.  They provide a multitude of realty services, and have several properties for sale currently.  Consider contacting them for any real estate needs you might have, and know that this time of year is a buyers’ market, so if you are interested in purchasing real estate, now is the time.  You can contact them at 701-952-5397 for more information or stop by their business to congratulate them and wish them success.

Businesses qualify for a ribbon-cutting ceremony if they open, move, remodel, are under new ownership or change their name.  For more information, contact Becky Thatcher-Keller by emailing: director@jamestownchamber.com or call the chamber at 701-252-4830.
