The Latest News and Information from Murray Scotton

Issue #26 June 2011

Greetings!

As Summer Solstice has now come and gone it means the days will now start to get shorter...someday we'll have more than 3 days in a row of sunshine!

As everyone starts to get ready for summer vacation plans we have not seen the market in Calgary start to slow down yet. The increase in activity we've seen in the last couple of weeks will hopefully continue into the summer.

In the next 2 weeks you may know of someone who is looking to sell or buy a home. I'd really appreciate it if you would tell them about your experience working with me as I'd love to help them, too.

Have a great day!

Testimonial

It is hard to put in to words, but we would like to attempt it here.

We wonder if you are aware of the outstanding service we have received from your number one sales associate, Murray Scotton.

This associate is not only friendly, humorous and professional, but accommodating and someone we will truly miss!

Now, we are a little disappointed that Murray helped us find the most awesome home we have ever lived in and at a great price, too! It made us want to retire here in Calgary. And almost equally disappointing was when he sold this home two years later, we will never find it's match. We were a little concerned our home was over priced but Murray knowing the market, assured us it would be sold within a month and it was. Rats, our plans are foiled we will have to move to Ottawa. So again your number one Sales associate has proved invaluable, the first time with the purchase of our home and now with our relocation to Ottawa. Not only selling our home here, but also recommending an equally excellent rep for us in Ottawa to buy our next home.

It was kind of him to stay in touch with us over the last two years, and made us feel like he was part of the family. We would highly recommend this agent for selling or buying - either way your clients will be pleased!
