Lawyer that comes to your home!

I love, love, LOVE this!!! If you have young children and the thought of visiting a lawyer to get a will done (just an example) then you can have the lawyer come to you. Let's say you are getting on in age or your parents are getting older and it's too much stress to go to a lawyers office to get your affairs in order than this is the answer! Check out Nexera Law Group.  They have leading edge technology that will simplify your legal needs without leaving your house!. Visit nexeralaw.ca

Fabulous right?

April Real Estate Stats

Although April started with a bang, we have found that since the 16 new real estate rules were put in place by the Premier a small slowdown has taken place. Homes are not selling as quickly or over asking. This is just in the past week. We believe the largest shift has come from the 15% foreign buyer tax. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!
