My New Office Hours, Irrevocability Clauses, and the “Earliest Practical Opportunity”

May 6, 2022 By Brent Jones

As a lot of you are already aware, my wife and I welcomed our first daughter, Ellie, into the world on April 27, 2022.

As a direct result, I have adjusted my availability. Effective immediately, I am available to serve buyers and sellers as follows:

Sunday · OFF
Monday · OFF
Tuesday · 13:00 – 20:00
Wednesday · 13:00 – 20:00
Thursday · 13:00 – 20:00
Friday · 13:00 – 20:00
Saturday · 09:00 – 13:00

Outside of these hours, you are totally welcome to send me a text message, an email, or leave me a voicemail, and I will respond to you when I am available next.

But so long as we’re on the topic of office hours and availability:

I have a few thoughts I’d like to share on the irrevocability clause contained in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (Form 100), the definition of presenting offers at the earliest practical opportunity, and how both of these items impact work-life balance as a realtor in Ontario.

Because if you buy or sell Niagara real estate with me this fall, you will automatically be entered to win a $3,000 vacation package via Selloff Vacations.

A winner will be chosen at random and announced on January 14, 2022. The draw will be streamed live and publicly viewable on Facebook.

2021 So Far: 100% Club, Rookie of the Year, and Sales Achievement Award

May 17, 2021 By Brent Jones

At the end of last year, I published a year-in-review blog post, covering some of the many highlights of 2020.

Well, I am proud to announce that today — less than halfway through 2021 — I’ve got more to share.

Why?

Well, the results of certain annual awards in real estate often aren’t tabulated or announced until sometime the following year.

So without further ado, I’m proud to share the following:

2020 in Review: Awards, Recognition, and Eighteen Deals Closed

December 18, 2020 By Brent Jones

2020 was a difficult year, to say the least, and it’s no big secret that a lot of us are rooting for it to come to an end.

Nonetheless, a lot of amazing things happened this year while serving my clients and, if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to take a moment to share them with you.

The Three Ps of Getting Your Fort Erie Home Sold Fast

August 26, 2020 By Brent Jones

Market conditions are in a constant state of flux.

When there is an abundance of unsold inventory (high supply, low demand) on the market, buyers tend to have the upper hand in negotiations.
When there is a shortage of available inventory (low supply, high demand) on the market, conditions tend to be favorable for sellers.

Stirling’s Story: A Review of Dr. Jim Turpel and Upper Canada Animal Hospital

May 22, 2019 By Brent Jones

This is our dog, Stirling.

I know it’s probably not immediately obvious, but Stirling is a giant suck. He’ll be turning six on June 30, 2019, and you can find more photos and videos of him on Instagram.

After several months of intermittent limping (lameness), Stirling experienced a complete rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) in his hind right leg on May 3, 2019.
