Before I introduce myself to all of you I wanted to first say a big thank-you to Paul and Sandra taking the time to get my wife and I ready for this next project. I’m hoping that since Paul and his wife are still together after doing this website for 3 years it will not lead to any marital challenges.
I must say that seeing how Paul and Sandra run the back end of this site and how they’ve created spreadsheets for the data, I felt and still feel, a bit apprehensive about taking on such a large challenge. I can tell you that the amount of work they put in over the last three years on a DAILY basis has been massive!! Luckily Paul has promised he won’t desert me too soon.
To all of you who appreciate the site, and all the work they’ve put in, I wanted to let you all know that Paul and I have worked out a referral arrangement for all of you who will either buy or sell in the future and were looking forward to working with Paul. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.
When Paul approached me about taking over his business and we got to talking about the site and his clients we knew it was going to be a good fit. We both have similar philosophies on real estate and how to go about helping people make informed decisions on what is “usually” your life’s biggest purchase. We have many similarities in that both our wives are accountants, we both have kids(me two, Paul almost two) and both believe in always giving straightforward no nonsense advice. I know that many of you use this site as an indicator of where the markets are going and I look forward to keeping the site up to date to help all you with whatever you plan to do down the road.
I’ve been in real estate for 4 years and it that time have earned the MLS Medallion award for 2007 for being in the top 10% of all GVRD realtors. I’ve also won the Prudential Sussex Presidents Circle award for being on the top 5% of all 15,000 Prudential North America agents and on two separate occasions I’ve won the Leading Edge Society award for being in the top 8%. I’m a very hands on realtor with a strong belief that your best interests are served when armed with all the current information possible.
That’s it for me. I could go on longer(just ask my wife) but I wont bore you. I look forward to chatting with many of you by email or the phone or even in person. The site will continue and Paul has encouraged me to make it even better which I plan to do….eventually. I’m still working out the kinks and am no computer wizard but I will do my best to live up to Paul’s high standards.
Cheers
Gavin
