THEY are Our HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Here at FANNY LEE & TheTeam (fannylee.ca), we measure our performance by how satisfied / happy our customers are with our real estate services.  It is the only thing that we brag, if we ever do that.

When we debuted our regular full page ad on Ming Pao Property GoldPage ( 明報地產金頁 ), we ran a series of "HAPPY CUSTOMERS" ad paying tributes to our wonderful clients.

The copy (in Chinese) goes:-
他們... 雖然有不同的背景、際遇和崗位，但都不約而同地
                 揀選透過我們買、賣和投資物業；因為他們深知道   我們...

                 ...

                 ...

                 ...                

他們   全都是   我們 的 Happy Customers.

This would translate to

THEY...   have different backgrounds, experiences and roles but

                 they all choose us to buy, sell, invest in 

                 their properties because 

                 they know that                                                           WE...

                 ...

                 ...

                 ... 

THEY   all are   OUR Happy Customers.

Interested in learning what they say?  You could watch and read their testimonials on our YouTube channel or web page.

Ontario Top 31 Secondary Schools 2011-2012

When our clients search for their homes, they often take into consideration schools available in the area.  In addition to the word of mouth reputation, Fraser Institute's (F.I.) school performance report card is a common benchmarking reference.  As a realtor as well as a parent, I have keen interest in following their reports.

2011-2012 Ontario Secondary School Report Card was just released.  Here is the list of the top 31 high schools in Ontario.

We plotted these 31 schools in Google Maps.  At a quick glance, you can see that the majority are located in the Greater Toronto Area.  21 of them are GTA-based.

Zooming closer to the familiar territory, we find the distribution of these high performing schools as follows:-

Downtown: 3
Midtown: 1
North York: 3
Markham: 5
Richmond Hill: 3

Live & Grow @ 71 Daniel Reaman Cres, Thornhill Woods, Vaughan

A GTA home sells at an average of $510,580 (TREB Feb.'13).  Townhomes in the 905 area have steadily appreciated in price (+7.1% in last 12 months).  However, homes at $500k - 530k with convenient locations are in high demand.  If this is what you are looking for, we have just listed a house that may well be your future home.

71 Daniel Reaman Cres in the vibrant Thornhill Woods, near Dufferin & Hwy 7/ Hwy 407 offers great transportation access.  This 1,850 s.f. 3 bedroom townhome enjoys a 9 ft ceiling on the main floor and a walk-out basement providing plenty of space to live and grow.  

TREB Market Watch February 2013 Highlight

TREB released the resale numbers of February with Ann Hannah, TREB President's quote: 

"Stricter mortgage lending guidelines that precluded government backed mortgages on home sold for over one million dollars and the City of Toronto's addition upfront land transfer tax arguablu played a role in the slower pace of luxury detached home sales."


We marked up on the summary.

* Number of resales dropped 15% compared to last year (leap year).

* The average GTA home resale price this February is $510,580.

* In term of number of transactions, townhome is the most resilient segment

* Over the past 12 months, average sale prices of semi-detached and townhouse increased by 5.6% and 6.7%, respectively.
