Chamber Chat: July 21

Spotlight team well established

Jamison Properties, 412 Third St., is this week's Chamber of Commerce Business Spotlight and they have been chamber members since they opened up for business five years ago. Terri Jamison, broker/owner, however, has been in the real estate business in Tehama County for over 21 years.

Besides Jamison, there are four other team members at Jamison Properties: Harry Finefrock, agent; Gary Lawson, agent; Rene Juarez, agent and Karen Stinson, assistant to Terri.

Terri and her team are hard working, knowledgeable and professional. They look forward to servicing all real estate needs - residential, land, ranch, commercial and industrial - whether buying or selling.

Terri and husband Juan Jamison have lived in Tehama County for the past 21 years. They have four grown children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Juan helps Terri with the business, and they both enjoy spending leisure time with friends and family or just working around the house.
