5 years ago I made the leap to finally hiring an assistant, after years and years of doing it all myself. I realized that there had to be a better way and even though it was a big jump for me, looking back I wonder why the hell I didn’t do this sooner.

Today was another major leap forward. Today, Dallas and I welcome a new member of our team: Devon Burnet. Devon is a very experienced Senior Underwriter who comes to us from of our favourite lenders. She’s smart, personable, and most important an amaaaazing human being.

Devon is going to let us be more efficient, get back to you faster, offer more options in the lending space, and have us deliver on our promise: To truly get you the best possible mortgage experience we can, bar none.

Say hello to Devon! And let’s keep 2021 rolling!

I am fortunate to be surrounded by two of the most incredible women I've met, and to watch them grow their business and bond into something truly remarkable. and are an inspiration to me and my son.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Professionally, I would not be here if it wasn't for , my superstar Associate and an incredibly good human. We've been together for 5 years now and it feels like it's only the beginning. We are growing and have hired a new Underwriter, who also happens to be a woman, and also happens to be an incredible human and we can't wait to announce that big news.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of you compliment me on my content on social media and it would not ever have happened if and I partnered up to give you the good. She's been incredibly creative, resourceful and most important, very patient LOL with me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And finally, I work with a LOT of who I truly love, and it just happens that a lot of them are also women! Cheers to you 🍻for all of your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. A lot of you have families, and relationships, that you put to the side to be your best in front of and because of your clients. Real Estate is a profession where I see a ton of incredible women grow and achieve success and I hope it translates to many other professions as we as a society have got to , keep fighting for equality, and breakthrough to a proper way of life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing I want to share is, having a son, it is my responsibility to drill this into his head as well. For all the men out there who influence young boys, do your part. It starts at home and it starts with us. We have a responsibility to teach, motivate, and inspire women around us, and if our young boys and men don't do the same, we have failed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy .

We’re already two months into 2021 and finally we’re seeing some increases in interest rates (fixed-rates). When I say “finally”, I don’t mean this that I’m happy about it. On the contrary! However let’s face it: Low rates were not going to be here forever, and here’s what I want to make sure you know: 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s that?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

5 years ago a person who made $65,000 got into the condo market, she bought a 500 sqft condo for $250,000 and it's doubled in price. Today that person can't buy her own condo at 5% down because she can't qualify for it. Whoa.

There's this little pocket in (pronounced Bah-Bee, not Bay-Bee) of semi-detached houses which were a perfect first-time buyer starting point for so many, and now it's absolutely blowing up.

In 2016 you could've bought a pretty good but maybe older condition semi here for $665,000. Do a bit of work to it, and sit on it and wait for the market to catch up?

Well, sure enough, it did. It's now 1.3M to get INTO this pocket.

I often get asked this question: "Should I go fixed or variable?", and it's impossible for me to answer. 𝗦𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
● What's the difference between the rates?
● How comfortable are you with rates going up?
● How long will you stay in this property?
● Are you okay with the penalty if you break early?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If there is a difference between variable and fixed, about three-quarters of a percent, almost always consider variable rate. BUT if the rates are where they are right now, which are VERY close to each other, we gotta plan this out before I can give you my suggestions.
