Penny Bryce
Sales Representative
We used Penny as our real estate agent 11 years ago to buy our first home. When the time came to sell that home we didn't hesitate to call Penny as our agent. She is always helpful in explaining everything and making sure we understood. She would tell us her professional opinion but wouldn't push her ideas on us. Penny always kept us in the loop with what was happening and she answered all of our messages within the half hour. I would not hesitate to use Penny as an agent again or recommend our friends and family to her.

Customer Care Centre
(December 2021)
When you compare 2020 with 2021 appointments it is fascinating to see how 2 back-to-back years could be so divergent. The two years started with the same trajectory (JAN/FEB 2020 pre-COVID vs JAN/FEB 2021 mid-COVID). Things really changed with the spike in showings in March 2021 which lead to the strongest market in the history of real estate locally and the country as a whole. We saw the opposite occur in March 2020, where appointments began to plummet as COVID took hold. Once COVID safety protocols were adopted in Q2 of 2020, the market made a steady recovery throughout the summer, causing a record breaking fall/winter for sales.
This strong demand lead to a very robust Q1 and Q2 of 2021, where the summer trailed off, and the fall of 2021 proved to be a very stellar market. Now we are faced with very strong demand, lower inventory (which is building) coupled with a new surge in COVID which has lead to a decline in appointments in January 2022.
The good news is we have very rich data, history has a tendency to repeat itself, and trends can be easily identified. Therefore, as we come out of this latest lockdown, and we adjust to this latest variant, we will see a surge in appointments leading to a very robust spring/summer market.
