Apply now to find out if I can help you save on what you already own to put towards those goals, to pull equity to fund those goals, or to find out what you need to do to acheive the goal of home ownership.
Any goals I can't help plan for, I'm more than happy to refer to someone who can. And if I can't help directly with your goals, ask about my referral program so that in your referring me to someone I'm more immediately able to help, I'm able to do more to help you.

My Marketing... It's You.
Marketing is one of the biggest questions in commission referral businesses. What do you do? Advertise on the radio? TV? Mailers? Magazines?Maybe you do sponsored content on facebook or are real cutting edge and have an advertisement running on YouTube.
Ive considered the radio but Im the only person I know who listens to it and it is a bit out of my early career price range. TV has similar problems only I dont even watch that.
Ive done a few mailers. Theyre comparably affordable and great for getting to a lot of houses but I expect all those houses are like myself, and any non mail goes straight to the recycling. I dont want to contribute to that much garbage.
Ive done some facebook because of affordability and immediacy as I can track whos actually clicked, and I know people are on facebook.
What inspired this post though, was hearing about magazine adverts. To be in a certain real estate magazine, a realtor I know spends $15,000 for a one page advertisement once a year.... $15k... For paper...
As a realtor, he only needs a referral or two from the advertisement to have it pay for itself, and he believes it has been worthwhile. As a broker my numbers arent quite that good, and even if I had it $15k seems absurd to me to spend on a single local advertisement. I can think of WAY better ways of spending $15k.
So I did.
Summer 2018 will have the first annual Carson Park Football Scholarship. Depending on how business goes this, my 2nd year in the industry, will dictate how much Im able to give to how many graduates looking to play university level football.
So knowthat your referrals to me not only result in a kick back to your pocket, but directly provide an opportunity to someone who otherwise may not have had it.
I thank you for your referrals, and so do future recipients.
Apply Nowand let me see how I can help you either plan for your first home, or save money on what you currently own.
Who are the working women in Canada's top 1%?
Even though working women are now more educated than working men, they are still outnumbered in top income groups, accounting for one in five workers in the top 1% in 2015.
Research shows that characteristics such as education, work experience and occupation continue to leave a substantial portion of the overall gender earnings gap unexplained. Some analysts point to the underrepresentation of women in top earnings groups as a further factor contributing to the overall gap. This study provides the first gender-based analysis of workers in the top 1% in Canadathose employed with a total income of $270,900 or more, based on the 2016 Census of Population, and provides new information on the socio-economic characteristics of women who have broken through the glass ceiling. The results of this study will be updated as new information becomes available.
Working women in the top 1% are younger and more educated than their male counterparts
Working women in the top 1% in 2015 were relatively younger than their male counterparts, and had higher levels of education. Specifically, 74.2% of women had obtained a bachelors degree or more, compared with 70.0% of their male counterparts. Further, women were more likely than their male counterparts to have studied in fields such as health or related fields, social and behavioural sciences and law.
Conversely, women in the top 1% were less likely than men to have studied architecture, engineering and related technologies and business, management and public administration.
Bank of Canada maintains overnight rate target at 1 ¾ per cent
The Bank of Canada today maintained its target for the overnight rate at 1 per cent.
The Bank Rate is correspondingly 2 per cent and the deposit rate is 1 per cent. The global economic expansion continues to moderate, with growth forecast to slow to 3.4 per cent in 2019 from 3.7 per cent in 2018. In particular, growth in the United States remains solid but is expected to slow to a more sustainable pace through 2019. However, there are increasing signs that the US-China trade conflict is weighing on global demand and commodity prices.
Global benchmark prices for oil have been about 25 per cent lower than assumed in the October Monetary Policy Report (MPR). The lower prices primarily reflect sustained increases in US oil supply and, more recently, increased worries about global demand. These worries among market participants have also been reflected in bond and equity markets.
The drop in global oil prices has a material impact on the Canadian outlook, resulting in lower terms of trade and national income. As well, transportation constraints and rising production have combined to push up oil inventories in the west and exert even more downward pressure on Canadian benchmark prices. While price differentials have narrowed in recent weeks following announced mandatory production cuts in Alberta, investment in Canadas oil sector is projected to weaken further.
