FANTASTIC TIME TO BUY

WHY USE DAN AS YOUR REALTOR?

It is without question a fantastic time to buy a home. Interest rates are at historical lows while housing prices have declined (in my opinion) about as low as they are going to go.

At these rare times, when low interest rates meet low prices, there is a small window of opportunity to make the most of your purchase. Typically, once the market starts to pick up, either the house prices or interest rates start to rise.

• Local Knowledge 32 years in the Cowichan Valley.

It is also a good time to sell IF you are planning to upgrade OR move to an area where housing prices are cheaper, your will save a larger percentage on your purchase.

In other words, you will save more on the “buy side” than you will lose on the “sell side”.

• Market Expertise Years of proven property and market evaluation.

• Highly Recommended 75% of Dan’s business comes directly from referrals and repeat clients.

• Honest & Dedicated Clients and Cowichan communities know . . . Dan puts his customers’ interests and needs first.

• Dan Doesn’t Do Gimmicks Most gimmicks have disclaimers and are just a way to lure people in. If your REALTOR® is worth what they’re getting paid they won’t need to BUY your loyalty!

The incentive should simply be that they are going to do a fantastic job for you, look out for YOUR best interests and help YOU get what YOU want! The results should speak for themselves!
