What is Welcome Mat Detroit and How to Use it (2 minute video).
Can Welcome Mat Detroit help you?
"The information you shared blew [our professional class] away! There is nothing like stumbling upon a gold mine. Information is currency when you know how to use it. You gave them a “resource” to share with their clients; priceless. You also gave them an opportunity to become an international member of a global community ...... Social settings, having fun, and eating food with other cultures is the gateway to a better, purposeful and enriching life. People do not know how small their world is until they step across the borders and embrace culture differences. Only then can they appreciate America’s culture and begin to embrace, accept and respect others. Welcome Mat Detroit services are endless. I visited the site and had so much fun and joy anticipating how well receive the information will be to our real estate community." - a Detroit area realtor
"Thank God we have Welcome Mat to help [find services]!" - Macomb County educator
