Tell me what you're looking for and I'll personally find 5–10 homes where I think a buyer may have an advantage right now: price reductions, stale listings, relists, vacant homes and builder inventory.
Buying in the next 90 days? I'll build your list.
That doesn't mean all 110 are deals. But it tells us where to start looking.

A $550K townhouse in Brantford can have roughly seventeen months of supply behind it. A $550K detached has under three. That changes how I'd approach the two listings.
The price alone doesn't tell you much about how to negotiate. I'm looking at things like previous price cuts, how long a home has really been sitting, whether it was cancelled and put back up under a new number, and whether it's vacant. That's the stuff I use when I build your list.
A few quick questions about your timing, budget and what you're looking for. I'll review it personally and send you the homes I think are worth a look.
Not pre-approved yet? No problem. If financing is your next step, I can connect you with Melissa Martin, the local mortgage agent I work with, so you can figure out your numbers before we start looking seriously.
None of these guarantees a better price. They're clues. The room to negotiate depends on the property and the seller, and I'll tell you straight which is which.
If anything looks interesting, we can spend 15 minutes talking through the options. No pressure to start looking immediately.
I was born and raised in Brantford and I've been a broker here since 2008 — through the crazy years, the slower years, and everything in between. I also run BrantfordHomes.com and publish the local numbers every month. I'm not going to tell you every house is a bargain. Some listings give you more room to negotiate than others, and I'll help you figure out which is which.

No. I wouldn't call a home a deal just because it's been sitting for a while or had a price cut. Some properties give you more room to negotiate on price, closing, conditions or included items. Others don't. I'll point out what I see and let you decide.
No, but it's a good idea, especially if you're hoping to buy soon. Melissa Martin, the Brantford mortgage agent I work with, offers a private half-hour “Can I Buy?” call with a straight answer inside a business day. If you're a first-time buyer, ask about the 30-year insured amortization and the Brantford-Brant $20,000 forgivable down-payment loan. Some buyers qualify, so we check rather than guess.
Tell me in the form. Buying when you have a home to sell takes a little more planning. I'll look at both sides with you so you know what needs to happen first, before you commit to anything.
There's no charge for me to build the list. If we decide to work together, I'll explain exactly how buyer representation and compensation work before you commit to anything.
No. The list is yours either way. If it's useful and you want help acting on it, that's your call to make — not something I'll push.
Mostly no, and I won't pretend otherwise. Most of the value is in homes already on the market whose listing history says more than the photos do. Once in a while I know about something before it's broadly marketed, and when it's relevant I'll include it.
I review every request myself. If you're ready to move soon, you'll usually hear from me the same business day.
Brantford, Paris, Brant County, St. George and the surrounding towns. If your search stretches beyond that, tell me in the form and I'll be straight about whether I'm the right person.
No. You'll get your list, my Wednesday opportunities email, and a follow-up from me. You can unsubscribe with one click anytime, and it actually works.
Tell me what you're looking for. I'll take a look and send you what I find.
