Saturday, March 24, 2012 - Marketing and the Seller

How can I help my clients reach their goal? I often ask myself this question, and I look at each customer in a "CUSTOM"er sense. Wether I am helping them SELL or BUY, I always strategize each situation. I always pair it back to a simplistic perspective and move forward from there. As with every puzzle, if there is a piece missing, it just does not look right, when it comes to marketing, make sure all the pieces are in place and the puzzle creates its own solution and becomes complete. I have a ... Full Article...

Tuesday, February 1, 2011 - New Mortgage Rules Starting March 18

Higher interest rates will raise homeownership costs. We expect the Bank of Canada will resume its rate hiking campaign by the second quarter of 2011, which will eventually have a more sustained upward effect on mortgage rates. In our view, higher mortgage rates will be the dominant factor raising homeownership costs over the medium term. As a home buyer, the new rate changes WILL affect affordability to the tune of around $25,000. Assuming you can afford a 400k home, your affordability will de ... Full Article...
