Follow up on The Causeway garbage issue August 14/2017

This weekend we had two amazing people go out and pick up garbage on the causeway. This was their comments on the thread about their efforts:

Fishnkings ON 

I'm glad we were able to do something about it. The causeway looks a little better now I'm proposing making it an annual thing to keep it looking great thanks for sharing my post an glad I was able to help

Here is an article by Lance Anderson about the clean up efforts:

4 hours of two men and 13 bags of trash later I thought I would go out and have a peek to see how everything looked. Once again I was utterly dismayed. These men took their Saturday morning to clean up and within 48 hours the Causeway was a mess again.

I am putting this on my blog as I wanted to show you all pictures. Pictures replace 1000 words. Each picture is a different place. Take a look at what I saw this morning. (August 14/2017)

 If you zoom in you can see on this sign the "No Fishing" is for certain dates

Signs need to be replaced

This is the treacherous path some take to get to their fishing area. Someone is going to get seriously hurt here. Who is liable when it happens?

 Yep throw the garbage in the culvert

Peterborough and the Kawartha's real estate market update as of July 18/2017

 Hello friends,

I was reading an article today stating the real estate market has turned into a Buyers market in Ontario. If that is truly the case, Peterborough and the Kawarthas are the exception to the rule. January through April was a complete gong show for multiable offers and crazy prices. This leveled out in May when a flood of listings hit our market. That said Buyers still bought the new inventory up just not in 10 to 12 multiable offer situations. This caught Sellers off guard and Realtors® alike. A large number of properties were holding offers and receiving none on offer date. They would always get an offer or two the next few days but not like it was before.

Now July is going to be the tell tale month for the balance of the year. Obviously, the numbers are not out as the month is not over but watching I am seeing less inventory hit the market and multible offers building steam again. It will be interesting to see.

The shocking truth about Flat Rate Realty

Flat Rate Realty, how the system works and more importantly how will this system save you money and not cost you end sales dollars!

I have been with Flat Rate Realty for over a year now. Before Flat Rate Realty I spent 10 years working under one of the "franchise" Brokerages. I can tell you there is only one change in my full MLS® service from the time I worked at a "franchise" Brokerage and now. That change is I can now offer you Full Service for 3.75%. You loose nothing more on marketing, service and exposure with Flat Rate Realty but what you win is up to 1.25% in savings. For a house valued at $350,000 that is over $4300 back in your pocket. Why would you give that away? Same service (or better) same marketing (or better) and same exposure (or better) with  $4300 back in your pocket! (if your house is valued at $350000)

Hey! Even though you read this statement I know what you are asking yourself.

1. Will my property be on MLS®? Absolutely, your house will be on MLS®. Your listing will also be on my website and many many others.
2. Do I really get full service for 3.75%? For sure! You get all the services you expect, like full market analysis of your home and market. You will also receive full professional negotiation, offer processing and much more. Nothing in my services have changed since leaving the "franchise" Brokerage. It is the same or even better!
3. Will I loose the "franchise" Brokerage network to get a better price on my house? This network was very important in the 1980s but lets face it it is 2017 and a neat thing called the internet which is the network! You will not get less because you are listing with me, you will just pay less!

Give your "franchise" Brokerage a call and have them out to your house. Just make sure I come to your house too for a second opinion and show you how I can save you money.
