Carol Bulman, President and CEO of Jack Conway Realtor, spoke with members this morning about the current status of the real estate market on the South Shore. Carol was cautiously optimistic and said it’s not a typical booming spring season, but things are still moving…just a little slower than normal. She and her team have adjusted nicely to the new format of “open showings” and have navigated a lot of her industry’s supply chain slowdowns and changes. She spoke to the commercial real estate market and felt there is more buyer/renter hesitation while we are all trying to figure out what workplaces of the future may look like.

Members of our chamber had the opportunity to meet and welcome Envision Bank’s new CEO, Bill Parent, in a virtual meeting. Bill, formerly of Blue Hills Bank, became Envision Bank’s new CEO just a couple weeks ago on April 1, 2020. He spoke to the Chamber about what it was like to start his new role at Envision Bank in the middle of the initially pandemic shut-down and the SBA loan processing.

He closed with how he’s no stranger to the South Shore and he knows its relationships that matters and not transactions. He was very appreciative of the warm welcome given to him by the Chamber and its members.
