SEASON 2: EPISODE 3 MIKE MARANO FROM WESTCHESTER MODULAR HOMES, INC. (WMH) Hello patient podcast subscribers! I really want to get these episodes out more often, but as many of you know, I have 2 small children, and they are demanding of my time! And super cute. Ask me to show a picture!  In this episode, I had a great time talking with Mike Marano at his Huntington office. First, you have to know WHM builds modular homes on Long Island and all over. Not just in Westchester. I walked in while he was with a client, and he let me sit-in and learn. Mike's got a great set-up there, including a nice set of golf clubs and his grandfather's Minnesota Fats pool cue. (Feel free to invite Mike to your country club to play a round.) As I said above, WMH does a lot of work on Long Island. Much of it out east. I learned what a "stick built" house is, and I got a clear education of what a modern modular home is compared to a "regular" home. Mike wants to work with LIBI members. After you listen to the episode, here's what you do: 1) Call/email me so I can lower your annual insurance costs. 2) Call/email Mike to learn how you can work with him on modular homes. Not necessarily in that order. :). Here's Mike's info: mmarano@westchestermodular.com Mike Marano: (631) 319-5022 My thanks to Mike and Westchester Modular Homes!  LIBI MEMBER SPOTLIGHT AFFILIATED INSURANCE INC. ----- I'm Steve Barker.
