Those who know me, know I love my bikes. Now, while this is a decent start, I’d open concept the kitchen so one can more easily make a snack while the oil drains or blinker fluid tops up. I’d also move the bedrooms to the another floor or mezzanine and I don’t really see a point in a dining room. But if it’ll keep the wife happy, so be it. .... . . . . #exprealty #iridetowork #idealfloorplan #keepingitrealestate See more

*The reality of the real estate market* In lieu of what’s happening in Canada and Covid-19, there are countless people who are still needing homes. Although the current status is recommended quarantine, many people will find themselves homeless if they can’t make a purchase and soon! Therefore, realtors are continuing to provide clients with service. Being extremely cautious and proactive, we do things such as limited exposure by keeping our distance, bringing gloves and hand... sanitizers to view properties, using brand new feature sheets, along with digital contracts and appointments via zoom and other programs. This is the reality of the market, but we are spearheading this with a proactive approach and a positive outlook to best serve our clients and the general public. **UPDATE** The Perch is available for viewing by appointment ONLY, pending further notice.

INTEREST RATE ALERT I’ve said it many times over the years, though never in my career has this statement been truer. There’s never been a better time to buy Real Estate! ... While the stock market has taken a dive temporarily, tangible assets have not. Market fluctuations are your friend because they’ve scared off your competition. Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing. Warren Buffet on RE investing, Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it. When the herd is going one way, go the other. #eXp #EXIMUS #tangibleassets #HowCanIHelpYou

Many Real Estate boards have been calling for changes to the federally imposed mortgage stress test, since it was imposed, and for a 30-year amortization period for insured mortgages to be re-introduced, to give home buyers more flexibility and assist with affordability.
