Please Stop Telling Me The Sky is Falling!

Please Stop Telling Me The Sky is Falling!

Would you believe the news these days?

The week before last, they were commenting about fuel prices.

Last week the news was preaching "doom and gloom at the markets" as if the world were finally coming to an end.

Today - would you believe it? - they have the gall to say ...

"Oh, sorry. It wasn't as big a deal as we thought ..."

Excuse me?

Do they even have the slightest notion that last week people were making life-and-death financial decisions based on their "predictions?"

And now they so casually say, "it's all better now?"

The truth is that most businesses today are doing just fine.

Sure, they have ups and downs, but they have far less to do with "the market" than with the company and how it operates.

But it's so easy for us to blame outside forces, isn't it?

I can get annoyed at the news media for being so reckless, but we CAN choose how we can react to their chicken-little ranting.

We can also choose to make our lives the best they can be - no matter what anyone else says "the real world" is experiencing.

The market is, and always will be, between your ears.

Will you join me?

It's all about getting back to basics, really ...

-- having ample mental and physical energy

-- taking the right intelligent actions to support your family and live your Soul Purpose

That's it.

My Mission Statement

How Am I Different?
I operate my business much differently than most real estate salespeople, who see their customers as a one-time transactional value only. They make no long-term commitment to their customer's well-being. They are after the quick sale, then on to the next...

On the other hand, by choosing to run my business almost entirely BY REFERRAL, I understand how very special you are to me. I prefer to spend 100% of my time and energy listening carefully to your goals, explaining your options and giving you first-class treatment all the way. You will be treated like a friend, with dignity and respect.

My vision is to provide so much value that you will feel proud to be part of my “Client Family”, and that you will trust me with the people you care about. Your delight with the entire experience, and your referrals, are the key to the future of my business.

You need not be referred, but will be treated so well that you will want to refer others. I want to be your “Real Estate Consultant For Life”.

Helping People On The Move

Cindy and David
Thank you so much for helping us to find our perfect house. We very much enjoyed working with you because you made the "daunting" house-search process painless! You were always available to answer our questions and help educate us on the ins and outs of the process. You showed us a range of homes including ones we didn't like to let us see contrast to the ones you knew we'd like. You understood us. We both recall sitting with you at Tim's and talking about Orangeville, no hard sell, just objective conversation. We couldn't have asked for better Realtor. Over & over, friends of ours said things like, "Our real estate agent didn't do that for us." We've come to realize that you are in a class all of your own, and we recognize the high standards you operate within. We are so lucky to have met you for our first foray into the housing market. It seemed so simple with you by our sides... thank you again!

Sue and Paul
“David provided excellent advice and made the sale of our home more than a sales transaction. “He handled everything with care and professionalism - everything with our experience was top notch. From dealings with other agents, the experience was truly unique. David sets a high standard for the rest of the real estate community. “We gave out business cards to all our neighbours!”

Sandy and Thomas
“To David– you provided us with undivided attention, and being new to the area, you gave us valuable directions which we use everyday. Your limousine service was stellar! “Everything was excellent, David followed up on everything and made sure we were informed about the whole process. Also when we were procrastinating you made sure we understood the importance of dealing with things ASAP! You are organized, thorough, friendly, knowledgeable and you listen and deliver! “Thank you for your time and patience! We love the home and will continue to tell our friends about your commitment, professionalism and your wonderful style.”

The Oliver Family
“Before I had decided to sell, I requested some information on the market in my area. I was very impressed with the detail of the information I was provided. From that point on, David was at the top of my Realtor list. David always had a very calm and soothing outlook on the process. He kept me relaxed and confident about my decisions. You are a hard working, down to earth couple who takes great pride in establishing personal connections with your clients.”

Mike and Anne
“Mike and I want to thank you so much for helping us find our perfect dream home and also for selling ours at record price – above asking! We are both thrilled! You exceeded our expectations with your personal service and attention – thank you again!”

Anne and Jim
“Your guide booklet helped us right until the closing day. All my questions were answered before I had to ask. I felt very comfortable with everything - keep up the great teamwork and positive attitude! “You have a lot of knowledge about real estate and you know exactly what to do. You made everything EASY as PIE! And a very exciting and enjoyable process!”

Jeremy
“Initially going through the whole process slowly step-by-step was very helpful. It was very educational and made us feel more comfortable. David was great, very kind and friendly and gave us some very good tips. He was very informative and available upon request. He worked late hours with us throughout the process to get things done. “Your next client should know that you are great for first-time home buyers -- very patient and knowledgeable. Thank you very much for your time and efforts!”

Katie and Dan
"I did research on the websites of various agents - yours spoke to me the most. I scheduled a time to meet with David and I knew that it was a great match as soon as he handed me the binder. I always felt like I was the only client (even though I knew I wasn't). "What I remember most was when I was at the point where I was deciding whether to put in an offer on a house... I told David I was "pretty sure", and he said, "We only do 100% sure." I thought this was a remarkable statement, truly caring about my decision and not just trying to push me into something. "You always exceeded my expectations with all of the personal attention, lots of contact & genuine interest to help me find a great home. I smile every time I receive mail from you, wondering what else you could possibly do for me. You are incredible agents and incredible people!"
