Today I am doing a presentation for a couple who will be buying their first home. Without question, this is an exciting time for them. As anyone who now owns their home knows, their is a sense of fear of the unknown and anticipation of taking the next step in life.
This highlights the benefits of having a professional REALTOR help you through the home buying process. We can remove the fear of the unknown by educating you and providing all the information you need. The anticipation is one of life sweeter fruits and it is yours to enjoy. When you find the home that's right for you and you finally move in, your realtor can continue to help through the home owning process. If you want too do renovations or additions, landscaping or repairs, your realtor can recommend a professional that will do a great job at a competitive price.
When your needs change and you are ready for your second home, your realtor is there again to help you move up to the next step in life. Along the road with you, your realtor will always be there to help.

Looking forward to exceeding your expectations,
Damien.

Too COLD

Good morning!
So I walked one of my children to the bus this morning, and although the temp. was -15 deg C (not too bad for winter), the wind-chill made it around -25C. At this temp, any exposed skin is prone to frost bite within around 15 minutes.
When I knock on peoples doors, I like to have my coat open at the top to show my collar and tie, no hat - just ear warmes, and one of my gloves is often off to shack hands. So, as I value my face, neck and hand, I choose to not door knock today.
The Ottawa Real Estate Market is proving to be stable right now. Housing starts are down a little, housing prices on average are up 6% in 2008, and inventory in 2008 was at 2006 levels. Now, there is little doubt that thnigs will not be quite as good this year as last, and not even close to the record breaking 2007; however, I believe that the market correction hear will be much milder then in many places in North America.

For more details on the market and for some great home buying tips, see http://www.homeswithdamien.com/ , or email me at drobitaille@kwottawa.ca.

Hard work!

Hello all.

I just put the last stamp on a large mail-out that I printed and stuffed by hand. There has got to be a better way to do this. Many people have told me that being a single agent is the hardest job in real estate. There are 127 identified tasks that a single agent must accomplish every week (or is it day?).

By following the Millionaire Real Estate Agent (Gary Keller, Dave Jenks, Jay Papsan) guidelines I should move up to the next level and have an assistant by mid 2010. I may push that up a bit if I can afford it. For those of you not familiar with the book, it is the end result of an in depth study of top Realtors in USA. It is , in essence, a road map to fallow that will lead you to your own personal success. It gives you the mind-set, the tools, the systems and models to follow.

I am following this plan and will keep you all updated periodically on my successes as they come. The Real Estate market in Ottawa is stable and my enthusiasm is high. The course is set and I am seeing it through.




Thank You,

158 Acacia Open House



Well!


Today I hosted an awsome open house at 158 Acacia in Rockcliffe Park, a neighbourhood in Ottawa, ON. There was great turn-out as over 15 couples and famillies came through.
The house has been vacant for a while and I needed to clear snow off the walk, but the response was fantastic! Everyone was kind enough to fill out a survey so we got lots of great feedback.
During these troubled economic times it is suprising how resiliant the Ottawa Real Estate market has proven to be. In 2008 the everage price of resale homes went up 6.3%! In most areas of North America prices fell. Many atribute the stable Ottawa Market to the large public service population here. Ottawa is the capitol of Canada and is home to many federal employees.
