Edward Jones investment representative Stephen Pate of Westbrook will host a free one-hour satellite broadcast titled “Real Estate…Real Investment?” at 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 13 at 861 Main St. in Westbrook.

While home values across the U.S. skyrocket, some believe a real estate bubble is nearing. Should investors be investing now in real estate or the stock market?

Presenters also will discuss the risk of overloading one’s portfolio with real estate, why unrealistic expectations are feeding the frenzy, and how to invest in real estate without loans or a mortgage.

This interactive event is presented at select Edward Jones branch offices nationwide via the firm’s private video network. To reserve a seat or for more information about the Sept. 13 program, call Pate at 207-856-0175. If you are unable to attend, additional viewing opportunities are available.
