Erica's Testimonial

My name is Erica Campbell and I would like to express my gratitude to David Weir for the Real Estate skills he displayed with me when I bought my first home. It can be very scary to buy your first home, especially when you don’t know enough about the industry. David Weir was referred by a co-worker and once we had our first meeting, David took me under his wing and made the purchase a lot more comfortable. He didn’t just show me homes.  He explained the pros and cons of each home and it was obvious that he wasn’t putting the sale before my needs.  He was genuinely interested in assisting me in this big decision and was supportive from the beginning through to the end.  I asked a lot of questions and he gave me the answers I needed, but didn’t steer me in the wrong direction. I knew after I purchased my home that he would be the one I would want by my side when it was time to sell!!

When I received an unexpected transfer within my job, David was the first person I contacted and I knew that it would be a challenge to sell during the winter. David gave me all the right directions to get my home on the market and assisted with getting my home ready to sell. It was a good feeling to have David by my side during this stressful time and he made it easy to stay positive. Even though my home didn’t sell instantly and I had to move across the country to my new place of work, I knew I was in good hands. David still gave it his all to show my home during the winter and shortly after I transferred, it sold!!!! I am so grateful to have had such knowledgeable and experienced realtor working for me in my absence. There are other realtors out there but my second purchase for a home wasn’t the same because David has a way of doing things that doesn’t only take drive to get the job done, but to do it in a personal way for each of his clients. If you're ever looking for a professional real estate agent that will be honest and work hard for you, it's David Weir.

Thank you David for all you’ve done.

Federal Budget Impact on DND

In reading the following article, it doesn't appear that the recently-released federal budget will negatively impact CFB Trenton.  Rumour has it that the Canadian Forces will get rid of its air defence equipment, shut down military housing in Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg and cut back on army training.  See David Pugliese's National Post article here.
