LONGER WINTER OR AN EARLY SPRING?
For those of you who enjoy this time of the year, there are still a few more weeks to enjoy our exciting community and its amenities. I hope you are taking the time to get outside and ski, snowboard, ice skate, snowshoe and ... even try new adventures like dog sledding or ice cave exploration.
For those of us who prefer a warmer climate, Wiarton Willie, our local weather prognosticating groundhog from the town of Wiarton in South Bruce Peninsula, predicted it will be an early spring!... so we can start savouring margaritas and visualizing ourselves swimming, paddleboarding, boating on Georgian Bay or simply sunbathing in our backyards.
Either way we are fortunate to live in a place that provides many opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors all year round. You may love the place where you live but if needs change and you’re looking to fall in love with a new primary residence or vacation home, let me connect you with your perfect match.... wherever that may be.
You deserve to Love Your Home!
With all my appreciation.
Max

A REAL ESTATE COMPANY THAT GIVES BACK
|
|
|
There are two organizations near and dear to our hearts, Special Olympics and the Georgian Triangle Humane Society (GTHS).
We proudly donate a portion of our income from real estate sales to both organizations.
As you probably know, Special Olympics has impacted the lives of its athletes in profound ways, most notably in building self confidence, friendships and self-esteem.
In 2019 The GTHS rescued 1,500 animals, performed 850 surgeries and saw 1,300 animals find new and loving forever homes
.
|
|
And remember… Your Referrals Help Continue the Life Changing Work by Special Olympics and The GTHS! We are on a quest to raise $25,000 for these organizations!
This is where you come in… If you or anyone you know is considering making a move, we would like to offer them a FREE No Obligation to Sell Consultation to discuss just how they can make their move, get what they want and do it with the least hassle.
Simply call me direct at 705-441-5800 or forward my number on.
