A Great Reference!

Joanne Nevison’s message is MY STYLE IS SOLD, and she means it!

I am thrilled to say, if you need a real estate agent, you should be working with Joanne Nevision of Johnston and Daniel Real Estate Services!

Joanne sold my home  for 110% of the asking price – a cool $37,000 extra for me. Plus, she did it in only five days.  Everything was better, smoother faster and more fun than I ever would have believed possible.  Joanne gave me excellent advice on how to show my place to best advantage, and was by my side through every step.

Next up, Joanne , after a careful analysis of my needs, took me right to my dream home.  She successfully negotiated the price and my offer and now I am moving within a month.   Her patience, professionalism and friendly manner made the entire buying and selling experience a joy.

I strongly recommend that if you are thinking of buying or selling, you get in touch with Joanne Nevison!  And tell your friends.  You will be happy to work with an agent who can proudly say: My Style is SOLD.

Yours truly,

Darlene Ursulak 

Halloween: Not Scary

It’s Time to Buy!

BOO!  Did I make you jump?  Halloween is meant to be a scary time: I’m just getting into the groove.

But what is really terrifying is seeing folks forking over cash for something that’s not their own.  Luckily, it’s a perfect, completely non scary, time to start putting your dollars into something that’s yours: time to buy a home!

Have you looked at mortgage rates lately?  They’re at a record all time low!  This is opportunity banging at your door with a sledgehammer! Check it out: there are a number of on-line calculators you can use like this one from TDCanada

Trust http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/mortgages/numbers.jsp . Borrowing $300,000 with a 5 year mortgage, 25 year amortization, the monthly payment is about  $1500 dollars. Clearly it’s time to take advantage of this cheap money and get into the real estate market.  If you’re thinking of moving up, the timing is excellent too!  You’re likely to do better, over the long haul, from investing in a home than say, cranking your cash into stocks and bonds. And you can’t live in a stock certificate!

The thrill of owning your own great home wins out over the thunk of handing over a rent cheque every month.  I am sure your landlord is just so cool. But he she or it can’t offer you pride of ownership, the thrill of knowing this is yours. Owning is sheer joy, it’s not scary at all AND it makes sense with today’s mortgage rates.
