Sherwood Park & Edmonton Real Estate Blog

One of the most rewarding parts of the experience with Shelter Canada is that you are introduced to the families who are receiving the home you helped build.⁠
⁠
Life is about relationships and human connection and this truly impacts and changes everyone's life involved. Together, we build hope and build houses and bring a new sense of community to those in El Salvador. 

To learn more about the families that you support and even connect with, join my Shelter Nexus team, which gives you the opportunity to build hope online!

You may not be able to travel to El Salvador, but you can still experience the difference that a new home makes in the life of a family when you connect virtually!

Shout out to my amazing clients - it was GREAT connecting with those of you who attended my Sundaes on Sunday event last weekend. Building relationships with those I serve is so important to me.

Congratulations to the other Associates & Top Teams who ranked in RE/MAX of Western Canada’s Top 100 for July 2021! Cheers to a great rest of the year!

Sundaes on Sunday was a success!

Just want to take a moment and say thank you to everyone who drove by, said hello & picked up a DQ sundae. It's important for me to show my appreciation to those of you I have the pleasure of serving as your Realtor.

Your smiling faces brought a lot of joy and again, THANK YOU for continuing to put your trust in me with your real estate needs!⁠ ⁠

If you attended, submit your photos of you enjoying your sundae by tagging me @craigfinnmanrealestate & emailing them to craig@craigfinnman.ca! ⁠ ⁠

Have you ever noticed how the strongest communicators are also the best listeners?

To effectively communicate with somebody, you must be able to hear them out and meet them where they’re at.

If you aren’t actively listening, you could be missing a big part of that person’s experience. The tips below offer a few strategies for active listening that will level up your communication in any situation.

Try them out next time you find yourself in a serious conversation with a friend or colleague, and check out how it shifts the dynamic.

Canada wasn't hit as hard as the US during the housing crisis in 2008, yet people worry whether today's hot market will lead to a similar crash?

Economists don't think so. They see the activity as evidence of a boom -not a path to a bust. Here are a few factors that make this market unique?

What do you need today?

These are unusual times for all of us. Whether you’re navigating working from home, a recent layoff, or the pressure of working in an essential service, none of us could have predicted these events a few months ago. If you live in Edmonton or Sherwood Park and you need help, please let me know. We can solve many problems by coming together as a community.

We will get through this together.

In the meantime:

· Meditate

· Exercise

· Get as much fresh air as you can while physical distancing

· Reach out virtually to friends and family

· Be kind

· Learn something new

· Support local businesses

COVID-19 and Real Estate

There is no question that COVID-19 has changed the real estate landscape here in the Edmonton area. Many buyers and sellers will wait to join the market, but some sellers are keen to sell and some buyers are taking advantage of low interest rates. REALTORS® are doing their best to ensure physical distancing and other health measures are taken to keep everyone safe.

You may be feeling uncertain about entering the market at the moment. Now is the best time to get advice. If you don’t need to buy or sell right away, you don’t have to, but you can move forward with the information you need to make those big decisions.

Having accurate, up-to-date information at your fingertips, especially in uncertain times, is the key to a smooth real estate transaction.

FREE CONSULTATION

Let’s talk about your needs. We can set up a time to chat that works for you. I’m always happy to discuss the Edmonton and Sherwood Park real estate market and I love meeting new people. Making meaningful connections and forging relationships built on trust are the keys to my success in real estate.

Why not use this time to get my free, no obligation advice?

FREE COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS

The best time to get a free Comparative Market Analysis of your home is when you don’t need to list. You can get my FREE professional estimate of what your home is worth today based on sales of similar properties in your area, and then make a decision about whether now is the right time to list.

If you do need to sell your home today, rest assured, you will be my top priority. During my listing presentation, I will explain why hiring an experienced, top-selling REALTOR® will benefit you enormously in the current market. I will make recommendations on how to price your home and outline my marketing plan.
