Brent Jones, Real Estate Sales Representative – RE/MAX Niagara Realty Ltd., Brokerage – Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada
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.
Brent is an excellent realtor. He is very knowledgeable in both selling and purchasing. He made the whole process stress-free and easy. Everything that came up he dealt with immediately. He was always available to answer questions before, during, and even after we sold and purchased our new home. He is also very active in the community, doing anything he can to help the community. Thank you, Brent, for all of your hard work.

Yesterday, I organized a bottle drive that spanned Fort Erie, Ridgeway, and Stevensville, in support of frontline healthcare workers.
Between 10 am and 4 pm this Monday, June 8, 2020, I will be collecting empty beer, wine, and liquor containers to donate to frontline healthcare workers at Douglas Memorial Hospital via The Beer Store.
Here is how to participate:
Last fall, my wife and I organized a food drive at Sobeys for COPE. In exchange for donating food items, we gave away free The Fort Erie Podcast tee shirts.
In light of the COVID-19 health crisis, I have decided to do something similar.
Make an online donation to Fort Erie Meals on Wheels and receive a free The Fort Erie Podcast tee shirt (while supplies last).
Here’s how it works:
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.
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…
I’ll be the first to admit that, with more than 1,000 active realtors in Niagara Region, you could throw a rock in just about any direction and hit one of us.
So, if you’re thinking of selling your home, why should you choose me, Brent Jones, to list it?
If you’ll indulge me, I’d like to answer that very question for you:
When you’re new in town, it usually doesn’t take long to start picking favorites. And by favorites, of course, I’m referring to where to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even a few drinks in between.
Since moving to town in 2014, my wife and I have tried eating (and drinking) just about everywhere we can. In part, because we love to support local businesses, but mostly because we really like to eat (and drink).
If you happen to enjoy a particular restaurant or bar and it doesn’t appear on this list, it might be because I either…
In all likelihood, however, I simply forgot to include it. What can I say? For a small town, Fort Erie has a lot of options to choose from.
Here are my top picks (in no particular order).
