What will the Liberals’ win mean for homebuyers? Page 8.
NOVEMBER 2015
Everything a realtor should be. As a lifelong resident of Crescent Beach, I know our community. Ask around, I have delivered RESULTS since 1990. I tell it like it is, and GET YOU WHAT YOU WANT, all while HAVING YOUR BACK. In today’s diverse market, you need a TEAM who can help prepare your home and reach these BUYERS. We think “out of the box” and will SELL your property. In the past year, I have helped over 45 families buy or sell their home. How can I help you?
