David Aferiat/Avid Vines

Avid Vines puts French & European clean, sustainably crafted wine within walking distance of desire. AVID Vines was started to solve the problems experienced the next day after celebrating – which is why their selections are characterized by lower alcohol, fewer sulfites, and the highest quality and classification of juice. They temperature control their shipments from vineyard to destination to reinforce this approach. In fact, they call it an OCEAN of difference (TM) compared to the industrial production of the widely marketed brands which stands for Organic methods, Chilled on import, Exceptionally reviewed, Artisanal, with #NoRegrets.

Mac Cregger/Angel Oak Home Loans

Angel Oak Home Loans has had the pleasure of helping a significant number of homebuyers become proud homeowners. This is because they offer traditional loans along with a portfolio suite of products for those who fall outside of conventional guidelines. Every client is different and they recognize that through their innovative offerings for people with diverse loan circumstances. Not every lender has the options to help and that is what sets them apart in the mortgage industry. Angel Oak’s licensed mortgage advisors are experts at guiding homebuyers to the right product and getting to the closing table as quickly as possible. They understand that busy lives do not come to a halt during a home purchase and the MyHomeLoan mobile app allows their clients to view their mortgage on the go.

Their most popular programs include Bank Statement, which is ideal for self-employed borrowers, with no tax returns required; Jumbo, which helps those purchasing homes outside the conforming limit; Non-Prime, for those with lower credit scores; Investor Cash Flow, which allows investors to grow their portfolios; and Foreign National, with non-US credit accepted, no tax returns or Social Security number required.

Glade Johnson/Advantage Protective Services

Glade Johnson is a former FBI Agent who worked for two national companies before buying Advantage Protective Services in 2004. Glade focuses on customer service and relationships, as well as taking care of his employees so they feel good about working for his company. This reduces turnover. He also provides them with an excellent benefit package. In addition, they offer advances to employees when they need it. He doesn’t know of any other companies in any industry that does that. Several clients have been with Advantage Protection Services 10 to 14 years. They try to build lasting relationships with their clients.
