Chestermere, AB

This Saturday there will be free baloon rides for any one that makes a $5.00 donation to the Chestermere food bank. The rides will be tethered and will go up 80 feet so you can get an idea of what a real hot air balloon ride would be like. This will be if the weather cooperates and we have a calm day. If it is too windy they cannot go up.

The Lions Club Food Bank in Chestermere is getting low on supplies and could use your contribution. If you can help donations of non-perishable food items can be made at Safeway, the community centre or the library.

Last night Doug and I attended the Calgary Real Estate Board Annual awards banquet. Out of 5.550 realtors with the board a total of 202 received awards or approximately 5%. To qualify you had to have points that added up to $1,000,000. Doug acheived this by selling properties in Chestermere and area, with only two qualifying sales in Calgary. Doug had lakefront sales, golf course sales, condominium, small farms and acreage sales. He sold property in every area of Chestermere.

When hiring a realtor. you want to know that they are successful, but you also want to that confirm they are successful in selling property in the area you are interested in buying or selling in.

If you are thinking of buying or selling in Chestermere you can count on your home town realtor, Doug McKay. He is in the top 5% of the Calgary Real Estate board and dedicated to the Chestermere market.

We would both like to send out a warm thank you to all of the clients who have supported us throghout the 16 years we have specialized in the Chestermere Area.
