Is housing in Fort Erie affordable for the average family?

January 7, 2020 By Brent Jones

When I promote a new listing on Facebook, I often receive comments from local users like…

Housing prices in Fort Erie have gone crazy. I’ve lived and worked here all my life but I won’t be able to afford to retire here.

Or…

How are young families ever supposed to be able to buy their first house?

Or…

I’m barely getting by as it is. I’ll never be able to buy a home of my own.

You get the idea.

While concerns about affordable housing are perfectly valid — and I will touch on this later — I thought I’d take a moment to dive into what the average household (or family) can realistically afford in this area.

A Look Back at 2019 Fort Erie Community Events

I’ve often said that a good realtor should be a good community ambassador.

So, starting last July, I made it my mission to get involved in my local community — and I’ve had a blast doing it! Here are some photos from various events this past year.

Meet the 2019 Winners of My Monthly Gift Card Giveaway

December 17, 2019 By Brent Jones

Starting last summer, I have been giving away a gift card to redeem at a local business each month.

Typically, the gift card (or gift certificate) has a value of $50 and is redeemable at a local restaurant.

Why host a monthly gift card giveaway, you ask? Well, it…

…supports local businesses.
…highlights some of what makes Fort Erie great.
…rewards my followers.
…allows me to connect with local residents by email.

[Brent did] a great job walking me through the entire process of selling our house and buying another house. He sent me multiple video messages to keep me on the loop. He even volunteered to take my dog out when I couldn’t…who does anything like that? Only Brent! He’s an amazing real estate agent!

Food Drive at Sobeys in Support of COPE

November 9, 2019 By Brent Jones

Today, my wife and I collected four carts full of donations (plus $140 in gift cards) for Community Outreach Program Erie (COPE) by hosting a food drive at the entrance of Sobeys in Fort Erie.

Anyone who made a donation was offered a free The Fort Erie Podcast tee shirt while supplies lasted.

Brent is the kind of agent you want when looking for a house. He asks the right questions to know exactly what you are looking for and…he has good advice to offer if you want advice and never pushy.
