Kevin & Kerri-Ann Associates

I grew up in beautiful Oakville Ontario, just outside of Toronto. We haven’t looked back!

With collective 30 years experience, Kevin & Kerri-Ann Associates is a leading residential real estate team servicing the Southern Georgian Bay market & backed by the leading international real estate brand in the world, Sotheby’s International Realty. After high school and a 3 year detour to Banff Alberta to ski Lake Louise, I attended the University of Western Ontario and graduated in 1999. Aft

er meeting my wife and settling in Toronto’s Beaches area, I left an accomplished, award winning career in sales and sales management in order to provide myself and my family with more freedom of opportunities. A passion for all things real estate began after dipping my toes into property investment and renovating. From there I began a career in real estate and my reputation as a qualified realtor quickly rose. In 2013 our growing family purchased a chalet in the Collingwood area and we began spending our winter weekends making the trek from the city to the beautiful Blue Mountains area to spend time skiing with family. Winter weekends and holidays quickly turned into spending whatever free time we could in the area, taking advantage of all the amazing lifestyle offerings the Southern Georgian Bay area has to offer. It wasn’t long until our passion for this community and all of it’s incredible attributes turned towards conversations around how can we make this our permanent home? When I look back, what was inevitable turned to reality and our family made the decision to move to the Blue Mountains and become full time residents. I currently live in the Alta Road neighbourhood near the base of Alpine Ski Club with my wife and 2 young children. As a member of the Brind Group Real Estate team and backed by the leading international real estate brand in the world, Sotheby’s International Realty, we provide real estate services to the residential market in the Southern Georgian Bay and Toronto area with a focus on custom homes, unique homes and complex real estate transactions. We regularly collaborate with a group of trusted advisors to help deliver a comprehensive, real estate solution including architects, tax planners, urban planners, engineers, builders, digital marketers and more.

⁣Remembrance Day 🇨🇦⠀
⠀
This photo means a great deal to me. It shows my grandfather, Flying Officer Frederick McLoughlin of the Royal Canadian Air Force, meeting his son for the first time—my father—at four months old. The photo was published in The Globe & Mail during the war.⠀
After a short visit home, my grandfather returned to Europe to continue serving his country.⠀
Today, and every day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and devotion of those who served and continue to serve.⠀
Lest we forget. ❤🌺⠀

⁣The Spring market and the latest BofC rate announcement 📣 ⠀
⠀
What does it mean for sellers and buyers? ⠀
⠀
The recent momentum within the real estate market in Southern Georgian Bay has given us all cautious optimism. ⠀
⠀
This is especially true with the Bank of Canada’s announcement to hold rates again—the sixth consecutive rate hold. This will increase buyer confidence, especially since the announcement hinted at a possible rate CUT ✂ as early as June. (Link in bio to read more about the announcement)⠀
⠀
There is a lot of pent-up buyer energy out there. ⠀
⠀
The Spring market is a good time to sell. ⠀
⠀
People have lots of reasons for selling their homes: relocating for work, growing a family, a health issue, downsizing or upsizing, or maybe they need to be closer to work or recreational spaces.⠀
⠀
Or maybe it’s time to sell the family chalet or investment property. ⠀
⠀
Is now the right time?⠀
⠀
The short answer is YES. If you need to sell, now is the right time, especially if you plan on buying. Buying and selling in the same market is key!⠀
⠀
In this market, it’s imperative to have a strategy and, more importantly, to price your home at fair market value to attract the right buyers.⠀
⠀
This is not the time to test the market! We have more inventory than in Q1 and people have choices. And buyers are still exercising caution. ⠀
⠀
If you overprice your home in this market, you’ll end up chasing the market down, ultimately getting less for your home. You’ll have price adjustments and increased days on the market, eventually leading to “lowball” offers.⠀
⠀
If your home is listed and you’re not getting activity or offers representing your current price, reconsider your price. Take the advice of your real estate advisor.⠀
⠀
Are you ready to sell? 🪧 ⠀
⠀
If you are considering your next move and want to learn more about the current market or take advantage of a free home evaluation, send us a direct message or call.⠀
⠀
We have a proven strategy that works!⠀

⁣What sets us apart? ⠀
⠀
Read on 👇⠀
⠀
A strong marketing strategy! ⠀
⠀
We always get asked about our marketing strategy. It’s the number one thing our clients ask about (other than price, of course). They want to know what makes us stand out from the crowd. And, how we will get the most qualified exposure for their listing. ⠀
⠀
The truth is there isn’t one standardized answer. Nothing we do at Kevin & Kerri-Ann Associates is one size fits all. ⠀
⠀
Every property receives a customized marketing plan on top of our extensive Sotheby’s marketing package. We provide the most exposure of any brokerage, locally, nationally and internationally. ⠀
⠀
We offer a variety of “out of the box” marketing campaigns for clients. These include: ⠀
⠀
♦ seeking PR for the property⠀
♦ features in print & online national publications⠀
♦ working with online publications & local magazines for property highlight pieces ⠀
♦ running ads within publications for special interest groups. ⠀
♦ hosting Realtor community events for our Properties of Distinction⠀
♦ running specific targeted social media ads ⠀
♦ collaborating with real estate influencers ⠀
♦ and so much more ⠀
⠀
What do these all have in common? They are the backbone of what we do. Getting the most exposure for your property, so we can get it sold in the least amount of time for the MOST amount of money 💰💰! ⠀
⠀
It not enough in this market to simply put a home on MLS. You need reach and exposure to stand out. ⠀
⠀
We are always finding new and innovative ways to get our listings the exposure they deserve. ⠀

⁣Clauses, Conditions & Notifications⠀
⠀
⠀
3 very common terms used in real estate. ⠀
⠀
⠀
And, worthy of a post because we've encountered some really interesting "errors" on some recent transactions. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Did you know any of the above with one word wrong or missing a word could put your purchaseor sale in jeopardy? ⠀
⠀
⠀
Too often we see conditions missing the waiver line or assigning the waiver to the wrong party. Or missing a single word or date that could end a deal. And you would have no recourse. What's in an offer and how it's worded MATTERS.⠀
⠀
⠀
It can be as simple as the word, "the" or "these" that can change the context and responsibility of the buyer or seller. Putting the onus on the wrong party. Or deadlines that don't align with dates.⠀
⠀
⠀
Or, a clause that wasn't included that protects in some way on closing. I've seen a number of deals lately with no Chattels clause. ⠀
⠀
⠀
In this market there is no room for error. Even an innocent mistake of overlooking something. Back when the market was unstoppable we saw some pretty dangerous mistakes in offers. But, people seemingly didn't care because the competition was so fierce that getting the house was all that mattered. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Well, this is a drastically different market and these mistakes continue to happen. ⠀
⠀
⠀
We can't stress enough how important experience is in this market. Reviewing your offers in detail. Ensuring the right clauses, conditions and notifications are in your contract MATTERS. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Selling or buying a home is a legally binding contact. What's in it or isn't in it can affect your outcome. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Going through an offer in extreme detail is part of our job. Not glancing over it! ⠀
⠀
⠀
Seek the best guidance you can from a qualified Realtor with experience in complex transactions and markets. ⠀

⁣What is to come with the Bank of Canada (BOC) raising interest rates?📈⠀
⠀
The BOC decided to hike interest rates, once again causing concerns for variable rate mortgage holders. ⠀
⠀
Recent strong data, including an uptick in CPI inflation and job growth influenced the Bank’s decision. ⠀
⠀
Analysts are also predicting another 25 bp hike in July if the data remains firm. ⠀
⠀
⠀
The Bank of Canada is worried about declining productivity and a tight labour market. The good news is that inflation is expected to come down to around 3% during the summer.⠀
⠀
Mortgage borrowers with adjusted rates will see their monthly payments rise. ⠀
⠀
Those with static payment variable rates will experience an extended amortization period. ⠀
⠀
Shorter term mortgages are an option that are rising in popularity now. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Over the past 15 months, the Bank of Canada has rapidly increased its policy rate from 0.25% in March 2022 to its current level of 4.75%, bringing higher prime rates and higher variable and adjustable mortgage rates. This has been in response to a high inflation rate, reaching a 30-year high of 8.1% in June 2022, which brought about one of the most aggressive interest rate hikes in Canadian history. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Inflation has cooled since June and reached 4.4% in April 2023. The path to lower inflation will include discomfort for debtholders.⠀
⠀

We partner with some talented and creative mortgage providers. DM to coordinate an introduction.💵🏠 ⠀
