Ron & Karen MacMillan with their Family!

FAMILY IS #1 – CHOOSING TO WORK ON PEI Ron MacMillan was born and raised here on PEI but like many Islanders, his work took him to Western Canada where he held various positions managing and implementing safety programs for international companies. This exciting career required many skills sets, including mediation, documentation and ensuring processes/systems are followed.

Although he loved his work, Ron’s passion for his family led him to make a career change. He wanted to work on PEI so he could enjoy more time with his growing family and make lots of special memories with his grandchildren. He wanted a new career where he could continue to use his skills while helping other families as they transition through the different stages of life. His wife, Karen MacMillan is a Top Producing realtor on PEI. Karen enjoys the challenge of working with a wide variety of clients but particularly enjoys her work with first time buyers; helping them through the process of achieving their goal to be new homeowners. Ron saw his wife’s passion and knew that teaming up in business was the natural choice. They love to work together and their individual talents complement one another well. Together they offer their clients excellent, personable service with a keen eye for detail as they help them realize their dreams of home ownership. They look forward to continue working with local, national and international clients. Understanding it’s important to give back to the community they sponsor Habitat for Humanity, Charlottetown Racetrack and Compassion Canada.

NEW LISTING

3015 DOCK ROAD, HARTSVILLE $149,900 MLS®201802888

Perfect starter home or future Hobby farm only 30 minutes from Charlottetown, 6.25 acre lot, 3 bedroom Mini home is 6 years old, Open concept kitchen with large pantry, generous master bedroom with ensuite, heat pump, two tier deck

T E S T I M O N IA L “Ron & Karen have changed my perception of real estate agents! I had a property on the market for two years before I met Ron and I was getting discouraged. We chatted about his marketing approach and he presented me with a plan which I thought was very sensible. Within a short period of time I had several offers and sold the property for full asking price. Needless to say I was very happy.

Ron & Karen get the job done in a very quiet controlled way. They do the research and paperwork very meticulously and are very aware of the market trends. In my opinion, Ron’s biggest and best asset is his ability to communicate, in person, by email, text, and phone at any time. If you have a question or concern he is available to answer or discuss. Also, they do what they say they will do... i.e. taking pictures with a drone, replacing signs, etc. I have never known them to be late for an appointment or showing.

If you require the services of a realtor, I would highly recommend Ron & Karen. They are hard working, knowledgeable, respectful, caring... great people to trust with your business.”

TESTIMONIAL The first time I called Jason he was very receptive and very easy to talk to. We listed our country home with

THE MACNEILL FAMILY

Jason and he was able to sell it within a very short time. He was great to explain every step of the process, very supportive and never pushy.

Two years later, when it came time for our family to make a change to a smaller home I called Jason.

It was like we had just spoken the day before. The listing online was great and suited our home to a tee. Jason and his team were awesome.

Our family would recommend Jason Mackay to anyone that asks. We have passed his name onto friends because of his friendly manner, his willingness to see that you get the true value for your home, his great way of communication, and making sure you as a client know that you are number 1 at that time.

“As a real estate agent, Melanie is very professional, experienced and kind. She has very good taste in home decoration. She helped us to do the staging and even went to shops together with us to pick items for the home staging. Melanie always gave us very prompt replies and feedback whenever we had any questions so that we always knew what was going on. When Melanie was our listing agent, we felt that she was our private real estate agent dedicated to our home sale, but she was actually the listing agent of some other clients at the same time.

We appreciate her effort, timing and help and would no doubt recommend her to my friends.”

“Melanie是一位非常有经验的和专业的地产经纪，待人处事非常友好和蔼。她积极帮助我们装饰房间，甚至陪同我们去 商店挑选房屋饰品。Melanie当时代理了很多房产销售，但总是能非常快速的回复我们的问题，让人感觉她当时就为我们 唯一一个客户服务。我们非常感谢她付出的努力和时间，我们也特别愿意推荐Melanie做我们朋友们的地产经纪。”

A LOOK AT RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE ON PEI

With Industry Expert Melanie Shaw

Melanie Shaw is a real estate agent with Royal LePage Prince Edward Realty.

She has been working full time in this industry for 28 years. Melanie’s passion for her work drives her to research, study and stay current on the marketing trends, patterns and effective industry tools. Melanie has earned many awards over the years including the “Lifetime Award of Excellence” for her many years of selling at a high level. Melanie works with a wide range of real estate clients but she specializes in high end “Luxury Homes”, using her design insight and staging skills to provide exceptional results for her clients.

PAGE 11

Training is very focused on offering “Full Service” and I offer my exclusive advice and suggestions on what Sellers can do to ensure that their home is Sold for a price that makes them very Happy!

Staging Homes For Sale is an area that I have extensive experience.

I recently took a listing that was on the market for many years but never sold. The Home owner of this property had a friend that had recently successfully Sold their home with my Real Estate Services and they suggested that they contact me. I met with the home owner and gave them Hands on Help preparing the home for Sale. We listed the property with great photos and video and then very quickly received more than one offer an obtained the price that made them very very Happy! Staging is very very important!

Can you describe what you actually do with the Sellers to prepare their homes For Sale?

I help all of my clients fully prepare their homes prior to placing it on the Multiple Listing Service. I go through the house “Room by Room” suggesting the necessary adjustments and changes to make for the home to show its absolute best! Preparing your home properly for the professional photography and videography takes a bit of work prior to placing the house on the market, but I truly love helping my clients with this process. I would consider this “The Key” to marketing your home at a very high level and attracting potential buyers from all parts of the world. Buyers will analyze each photo and the video over and over again and then book an appointment to see your home. Most Buyers typically know what they like and they use the internet to make a short list of homes they want to view. Preparing a home for successful marketing is not only a “Fine Art”; it is one of the most important parts of the detailed listing process. I offer this custom service as part of the marketing package that each one of my clients receives.

Do you have any predictions about the Market in 2018?

I just love “The Crystal Ball Question”.....There is really no way to know things for certain however all current indicators are showing that Prince Edward Island had shifted from a Buyers Market to a Balanced Market but now with the low level of inventory it has shifted again to a Sellers Market especially in specific areas like Stratford, Charlottetown and Cornwall. With the current level of immigration there is a huge housing demand for homes in the above specific areas and the housing prices have already increased. I predict that 2018 will be the strongest year for Prince Edward Island Real Estate Sales EVER!

YEARS IN REAL ESTATE: Melanie has been a Full Time Realtor for over “28” years (since 1989)

In years past, I noticed a lot more Real Estate ‘For sale signs” than I currently notice around Charlottetown/ Cornwall/Stratford, is the market different?

Can you tell me about the “Higher end” homes, I’ve heard about homes selling over $500,000..and even over $1M, is that true?

Yes the market is different and I call this a very “Tight” market in some ares of PEI. Tight meaning that there are not as many available Homes on the market but there is a solid demand from Buyers. The Supply and Demand theory shows that typically this will cause the prices to rise when there is a demand for a product that has a smaller supply.

The Market Statistics for All of Prince Edward Island show an increase in Sold prices from 2015 to 2016 of approximately 9% and prices went up another approximately 12% from 2016 to 2017. This shows a total increase in pricing of over 20% in the past 2 years. Across the Island back in 2015 only 48% of homes listed actually Sold plus there were many more listings at that time. The Statistics also show that in 2017 over 69% of homes listed were Sold which is a substantial increase.

An added bonus is that number of days on the market since 2015 has dropped by over 1 month. Several specific areas in PEI including Charlottetown, Stratford and Cornwall have shown even more drastic increases in the Sold pricing. I would be happy to provide more information on statistics for anyone that is interested.

YES!!!! Higher End Homes are selling for over $500,000 and a few even over $1million. This is most definitely happening here on Prince Edward Island. There are so many beautiful homes in PEI and many of the Luxury homes are very attractive to the New Comers and Islanders looking to upgrade.

BEFORE

Can’t believe the job Nathan and his crew did on our house. They arrived in the morning, made it look brand new and when they left you would not have known they were here. Anyone thinking of changing their siding should contact Spray-Net first.

Price was great, service was even better. These guys know their stuff.

SHE’S THE BOSS Property Management on PEI

especially if I was on the roads all day. Preparing reports for owners and marketing our business are daily priorities. Usually that involves discussions with Paul and Valicia, who is graduating from Marketing and Advertising Management at Holland College this year. She has great insight and has fresh ideas to help us stay current.

Do you assist any “newcomers to PEI” with their rental investments?

Stacey Wyand was raised in an entrepreneurial family in Cavendish.

Her great grandmother opened the first rental business in Cavendish and that passion has been in the family throughout the years. Stacey and her husband Paul started Emerald Isle Property Management in 2008. Stacey worked in the business mostly evenings and weekends but as the business continued to grow and expand, it has become her full time work. Stacey now manages over 100 units with tenant occupancy. Some of the owners of these properties are Islanders and some are from out of province. Emerald Isle Property Management is unique among management companies. Most offer a standard service in exchange for a percentage of the rent from the properties but Emerald Isle Property Management offers a full range of services and they are committed to customizing their work to suit the individual owners and to meet their specific needs. That focus means that Stacey’s job is always new and exciting. In addition to the day to day work of managing units, Stacey is currently overseeing a tear down and construction of a new 4 unit apartment building for an owner/ client. She enjoys working with owners and contractors to develop new rental units in Charlottetown and surrounding areas.

Stacey, can you describe your typical day as a Property Manager & Business Owner?

Yes, we have been lucky to work with many newcomers to PEI; managing their properties and helping them get established in the rental market.

It can be overwhelming, adjusting to life and business in Canada.

My goal for investors is to make them feel comfortable, to trust me, and to eliminate some of the worry. They can leave the management to me and this is one less thing for them.

Do you have any “interesting” tenant stories?

There are many good, bad and ugly stories but one sticks out. We took over a new building and there were some tenants moving out. They had a pet pot belly pig! Needless to say the whole apartment had to be completely redone because it smelled like a barn!

What is the current “rental” market like in Charlottetown/ PE? What opportunities exist for investors looking to make investment in rental properties?

The current rental market is hot right now. Housing is limited so it’s a great time for new construction and renovating older units.

Lots of people want to downsize or minimize so renting is ideal for that. Charlottetown rentals are popular, but there is also demand outside the city limits. Many communities are trying to attract business and rentals in smaller towns and communities.
