Langley Real Estate Review March 4 by Black Press Digital

real estate

review Superior quality 1 and 2 bedroom homes from $687/month* We are home owners. Home ownership wasn’t something we’d considered until Cornerstone came along. One look at the showhome (nice) and a conversation with their mortgage-savvy sales team, and we were sold. We walked in on a whim, thinking, “There’s no way we can afford this”, and walked out on top of the world. Our folks agree — Cornerstone is a smart decision. Marcon has a great reputation; they’ve been around as long as we’ve been alive. And the best part is we can still afford to go on vacation!

Fully-loaded from $188,900 New mortgage rules take effect March 18th.
