Success Stories:   
 
 
Our listing on Vidal St. sold this week.  It was previously listed with another realtor for almost 6 months before the owners listed it with the Harris Real Estate Group.  We sold it in under a month for close to asking.  In the mean time, our Surrey/White Rock Specialist Gary Foltyn also managed to find them a home.  Congratulations on the successful move!   Congratulations to the following people on their purchases:   Suzanne who worked with Grady Harris for a long time before settling on a one bedroom in Mount Pleasant with unobstructed mountain views for under $260,000.  A deal if there ever was one.  Mount Pleasant is an area that will see great growth as we lead up to the Olympics, email Grady for more information, (Oh, and congratulations to Grady and his pregnant wife Julie on their purchase in Mount Pleasant.  An agent who's puttin' his money where his mouth is: priceless!)    Tannis and Andrew who knew what they wanted and didn't hesitate to buy a great  2 bedroom apartment in Fairview.  Buyer Specialist Tom Van Enter from the Harris Real Estate Group lives in the neighbourhood and knows it cold.  If that's where you're looking, drop him a line...   Mademoiselle Isabelle, who after one month of looking ferociously found a beautiful one bedroom apartment on W. 11th.  Felicitation!   Jason, who will be taking possession of his brand new massive loft in Gastown this weekend.  Gastown is changing folks, and the people that are buying now will see dividends down the road. Enjoy your new digs Jason!   And of course, Romanda who picked up a one bedroom in Surrey's Quattro, scheduled for completion in 2 years.  Those of you who doubt the strength of the real estate market should have seen the line-up and felt the elbows jostling for some of the lower mainland's most affordable new construction. Phase 3 goes on sale next, if you're interested email me   Also: If you're in the market to sell your home, why not find out more about our proprietary marketing systems;  this newsletter is just a small part of our overall marketing plan that gets your home sold fast and for top dollar.  Click Here to request an over-the-net home evaluation, or send our listing coordinator an email requesting our pre listing package.
