Upon recommendation, we used Graham as our realtor for the recent sale of our home.


We had a fair amount of time to plan the sale.  Graham worked with us during the whole process ensuring that we were informed and understood the whole process.  He is knowledgeable and has an excellent talent to convey the important issues and facts related to planning for the sale.  As well, he took great care to understand our needs and wants and used these as part of the overall plan.

I would have to say that I appreciated the way you didn't pressure me to buy any particular house, nor buy at a particular time. You encouraged me to find that perfect home that is just right for me. I nearly settled for second best and now that I'm in a home I love I'm glad you had the patience to let me find that. I also appreciate the way you allowed me to go through my own process of picking out a home rather than heavily direct the process.

Lately, media has talked a lot about the "Alberta real estate market" and has presented it in a negative light. In reality, real estate markets are much more local than that.  Not only will it vary by city within the province, but even within a city by property type, purchase price, and neighborhood.  While we have seen economic pressures take a toll on some real estate markets around the province, Edmonton's market remains stable overall.

“When my wife and I decided to sell our house, we met with Graham to discuss the possibilities.  Graham was able to provide us with a realistic idea of the price to expect for our property.  He also helped us plan how to prep the property for sale. With his help, we were able to sell our house quickly and for more than we were expecting.

 

When searching for our next house, Graham was just as amazing to deal with. He was able to provide a lot of good insight on the houses that...

Today’s Bank of Canada rate hold announcement marks almost four straight years that the key benchmark rate has remained unchanged, since September 8, 2010. Great news if you have a variable-rate mortgage or home equity line of credit; the prime rate stays at 3%.

 

The announcement noted that “the risks to the outlook for inflation remain roughly balanced, while the risks associated with household imbalances have not diminished.” With these considerations, the Bank is maintaining its monetary policy stimulus, and remains neutral with respect to the timing and direction of the next change.

 

The next rate-setting day is October 22nd.
