Everybody has a reason for listing their property. Do you remember what yours was? This reason fuels your motivation and drive to keep at it, even if your property doesn’t sell the first time.

Welcome to this week's episode of Hamre Real Estate Insights

Have you heard the saying...

There are over 3500 real estate agents in Ottawa, how do you know you have chosen the right one?

My clients just secured a beautiful home in Convent Glen, which is in the east end of the city. I initially connected with these clients of mine back in April of 2022

We're in New York City learning about the business to better our business.

The client calls me up and says: "Hey Steve, can you find me a property for $400,000 or less?

Time is one of the greatest assets that we have as humans.

Whether you're a first time home buyer, upsize, downsize, retiree, when you get a call that your offer was accepted, it is nothing short of exciting!

How does a seller prepare for the home inspection?

Not only were we able to help our fantastic clients sell their home in three days after being enlisted, but help them buy a property under asking in competing offers.

Not enough people are talking about this and buyers, you have an opportunity to save some money!

If you’re thinking about buying a new home and aren’t going to pay cash, then you probably need a mortgage.
