Century 21 Tri-Valley

A R Home Loans Direct, Inc.
“My name is Adam A. Ruiz and I am the owner of A R Home Loans Direct, Inc., and a proud member of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. I started my business in May of 2005 and joined the chamber in December of 2005.

I have been doing real estate loans since January of 2000. I love helping people achieve financial goals and dreams, purchase a new and sometimes their first home, save money, and helping them gain access to money that allows them to start investing, save for college, and planning their retirement. Every loan is different, and I enjoy the challenges that go along with customizing the loan to each individual or families needs!

Being an Ambassador has allowed me to meet many individuals, and to give back to a wonderful chamber. I remember meeting the ambassadors when I first joined and immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of that special team! Interacting with other business owners and community exposure has done wonders for my referral base. I would highly recommend becoming an Ambassador!”

Republic Mortgage
“Ok I just want to say to viewers and other members that for the once a year fee that we pay to be members it is well worth the investment. A past client that I had written a home loan for over two years ago had lost my contact information. He went to the Chamber of Commerce, not knowing I am a member and found me through the chamber website. The Chamber has the givers gain philosophy. If you get involved and try to give back to the Chamber and get involved with at least one Committee you will be recognized as well as rewarded. The other advantage is Chamber discounts as well as professional service from any Chamber member. When Consumers know you are associated with The Chamber Of Commerce of Temecula they expect a certain level of Service , As far as I have seen that holds true with any business I have been involved in our community.”

Blood Bank of San Bernardino and Riverside County
“Serving as an Ambassador for the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce has put me on a fast track for gaining an even higher profile for the Blood Bank of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in this vital area within Riverside County,” Effinger said. “A very welcome benefit to service as Ambassador is the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, both from the Chamber staff and among our business and civic leaders.”

“My life is all about serving the community and there is no better compliment to my service to the blood bank than being involved in the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce as Ambassador and as a member of several event committees,” added Effinger, who is a resident of Temecula.”

Promotional Experience
Being an Ambassador for The Temecula Chamber of Commerce has been a tremendous help to my business. It allows me to have an active roll in the chamber and volunteer my time to a very worthy cause. The people I have met through the chamber have made a huge impact on my business and my life. The support system is been tremendous for a new business. 40% of my sales in 2007 came directly from the contacts I have made through the chamber. Another 20% of my annual sales came from referrals from chamber members. I don’t know why any local business would not join this tremendous organization.

Temecula Valley Golf School
I started Temecula Valley Golf School in January 2002 and immediately joined the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. I was well aware that to maximize this investment it was necessary to participate in Chamber activities and functions. It was amazing how quickly I became acquainted with so many other business people in the community. After a while, I couldn’t go anywhere without running into someone I knew. As my involvement in the chamber increased, so did my visibility in the community. My business has doubled and re-doubled, and it attracts golf students from all over the world.”

Temecula Valley Custom Pools, Inc.
“…the TVCC Networking Breakfast really worked for me…I passed one of my cards to one of the presenters for that month who was there for his boss. He told me that his boss was new in the area and was thinking about a pool. One month later I received a phone call from him. He told me that his family wanted to have a pool built and they know the value of a builder that is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce. At our first meeting he concluded by saying because of my chamber membership involvement that he had all the trust he needed to hire me as his contractor…This was one of the most enjoyable projects I have had the privilege to build.”

Apples & Jack Rabbits, Inc.
Apples & Jack Rabbits, Inc, has been a member of the Chamber for just over a year. It takes about a year for people to get to know you better, but once they do, you will build lasting relationships and great business partnerships. I am an ambassador for the Chamber and am on the membership & Business Development Resource committees. I really enjoy working with both of these groups to plan events and help the business community. As a chamber member, some great benefits are: referrals via e-mail to let us know that the chamber referred us to a business, we give two baskets for drawings from our company at each event. The chamber can help you build your leadership skills, and overcome the fear of public speaking. You get out of your chamber what you put into it. I firmly believe that networking within the chamber is a great help to my business!
