Don’t Stress Yourself Out..Just Make Connections!

Are you stressing yourself out because the people your prospecting or clients that your working with aren’t booking appointments, aren’t interested in looking at houses, don’t want to meet you right now⁉️

Everything is going be ok…

that’s funny for me to say…

because every year I tell myself this and every year at this time I get a little nervous. It’s normal - it’s not just you…

We’re 6 days to Christmas…

of course people have been putting you off for the last 2-3 weeks…

and the likelihood of you booking more appointments between now and the of the year are getting slimmer and slimmer…

or once I really get my branding dialled in I’ll start sending out direct mail…

Are you stuck in a seasonal mindset?

Around this time of year, agents in our market start to talk about going on holiday and taking time off and the market coming to an end for the year…

Different markets are going to get different seasonal adjustments but in our market when it gets cold and we get dumped with snow that traditional agent starts taking time off...

In real estate today, do we really have that luxury or predictability of seasonal time off anymore?

Consumer behaviour changes and HAS changed! There’s no real seasonality for the consumer that just clicked ‘Book a Showing’ on your website or sent you a Realtor.ca inquiry or called you through the office…

The events that happen in people’s lives don’t work around seasonality…

Purchasing your first home is an exciting time, but it can also be intimidating. The high cost of real estate and living, in general, make this process more difficult than ever before with all that's going on around us-the pandemic recovery thing being one example (and yes I know we're not supposed to talk about those things). But don't let those worries get between you and the perfect place for yourself! Legal expenses, inspection fees, land transfer tax. These closing costs really do add up; making purchasing a new residence seem impossible at times when they should just feel like another step forward onto firm ground.

Here’s what you need to know about the First-Time Home Buyers Tax Credit.

Canadian taxpayers can claim the first-time…
