I am excited about Re/Max Curbside Marketing

For almost a year now (I keep telling you we're ahead of the curve), the office of RE/MAX a-b Realty ltd and its agents have been working with Quick Response Codes.  Many of us have implemented these codes into our marketing program, using them on our business cards for profile/contact information, or inserting them into feature sheets or onto lawn signs for quick access to information.



With the launch of Curbside Marketing, RE/MAX has made it absolutely simple to implement an advanced information system as a key part of marketing your listings.

For my listing clients, I am now including a custom sign rider (I'm sure you've seen these before) that doesn't simply have a URL on it (www.whateveraddress.com) as it has in the past.  The sign rider will now contain TWO methods of gathering information; the first is a "Short Code" that you may text on your phone (free of charge, of course), and receive INSTANT information on the listing you're sitting in front of! (Photos, description, property description and details, as well as video!).  The second is the trusty QR Code, which, for the more savvy Smartphone users, can be scanned by your phone's camera, and bring up the listing information without keying a single digit/letter into your phone!

Cool eh?


Watch this space for more, as I roll out this amazing service for my selling clients.

RBC drops fixed interest rates

From Corey Cunningham, RBC Mortgage Specialist

With all the news lately about mortgage rates on the verge of climbing, I am very happy to report that rates have dropped for most of our fixed rate terms.

Variable closed remains very popular amongst most clients at PRIME (2.25%).

Our most attractive fixed rate term I suggest would be the 3 year at 3.85% which will line up nicely with the next presidential election. And if history repeats itself, like it usually does, that's always a time for lower interest rates.

Please email Corey @ corey.cunningham@rbc.com for more details and to discuss your mortgage!
