Their success has come through building strong personal connections with their customers, and identifying a personalized plan to help accomplish their objectives. “Often business owners either have misconceptions about what they can achieve financially, or they are completely focused on growing their company.” says R ick. “T hey don’t h ave t he time to focus on their personal finances or the risks around them.” “We don’t use ‘cookie cutter’ solutions,” says Rob. “Every business is different, each business owner’s needs are unique, and we tailor our approach to fit their specific situation.”
ICTORIA – Despite the turbulence around Canada’s current fiscal clim ate, Victor i a’s rea l estate market has been experiencing growth and interest from buyers across North America. The recent rate reduction by the Bank of Canada, and the value of
the Canadian dollar has created a buyer-friendly environment, which has been keeping realtor Terry Stockus of Century 21 Queenswood Realty, very busy. “We’ve been a little terrified that we’re never going to get a day off,” she laughs. “There has been interest from all-over. I have
clients from Ontario who are just tired of dealing with the intense winters, and now they have access to low interest capital and they’re taking advantage. “There has been a lot of traction with Vancouver homeowners who want to cash-out of the craziness that’s going on over
there. The lower dollar has also brought in a lot of attention from the United States. It’s a pretty attractive investment for a lot of people who enjoy the west coast lifestyle.” Stockus knows first hand just SEE STOCKUS TO SUCCESS | PAGE 30
