THE NEXT CHAPTER

Some of you will remember when we first launched this blog several years ago.  What started out as a one page PDF report has matured into detailed neighbourhood sales and statistics reports – and today (on our 262nd blog!) we’re launching a brand new platform to access the sold information!

We realized years ago when we started the sales reports that, as a consumer, you were only getting half the picture.  You could access limited information on active listings – the moment the sold sign went up, the listing disappeared, and that was it.  You didn’t have access to sales data unless you had a Realtor as a family member or close friend, or were able to convince an agent that you were about to list your home for sale.  

As a broker of record and a 35 year veteran of this industry, I’ve always believed that an educated client was the best client to work with.  I would take the time to show and educate my clients about neighbourhood differences, how school areas could affect pricing, and most importantly, what homes in their areas were actually selling for.  Providing “insider” information about sale prices meant that we were able to give our clients an accurate view of the market, help them set realistic goals in tune with the local market, and ultimately, guide them through fruitful real estate transactions.

Today, we’re doing a soft launch to our new Home Sales Website, soldinguelph.ca.   This interactive platform will allow our subscribers to view all of the sales data you’re used to seeing, with the addition of detailed property information & photos, options to search sold properties, and more.

In order for us to provide this information, we are obligated by the rules of the MLS® system to have users create password-protected accounts on this new platform. The process takes just one minute, and you’ll find the instructions below, as well as a video tutorial walking you through step-by-step. Once you have created your account, you’ll be able to view the updated reports and search sold listings in the region anytime, night or day.

The catch?

Really there isn’t one.  You won’t receive any spam or additional emails from this new website, and you will continue to receive this email every Friday afternoon, with links to the blog and this new platform for the weekly sales reports.

We’re being thorough in our transition to this new platform, and so the PDF reports that you’re used to will still be available until we’re completely confident the new site is functioning as intended. And as always, our team is here to support you – in your real estate needs, and with technical support – so feel free to reach out if you require assistance. We appreciate you taking the time to sign up for this new platform, and we encourage you tell us what you think, and if there’s any features you think we’re missing.

Over the past several years, many of our blog subscribers have reached out to our team to help you with your real estate needs.  We appreciate your support, and in turn, we are committed to providing our subscribers an accurate understanding of our local market. If you are considering a purchase or sale, and in the beginning stages of interviewing Realtors, please reach out to us. We would love the opportunity to connect you with one of our knowledgeable & dedicated team members, and let them show you how we’re doing real estate differently.
