Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
Your next home could be simpler to find, right?
The Canadian Real Estate Association, CREA, has been talking a fair bit lately about how to make the whole real estate journey easier for everyone. They've been dropping episodes on their REAL TIME podcast, focusing on things that really matter for folks buying or selling in Saint John, and across the country.
* **Accessibility first:** Episode 72, featuring Jeffrey Kerr, specifically digs into making real estate more accessible. They're looking at what happens when clients face mobility, visual, or auditory barriers, and how real estate professionals can make accommodations. It’s a good step for ensuring folks in every neighbourhood, from the South End to Millidgeville, can navigate the market. * **The influencer question:** Katie Hession jumped on Episode 71 to chat about how social media, and a REALTOR®’s online presence, impacts their work. You see it right here in Saint John — local agents are all over Instagram and Facebook, showing off properties and their personality. * **New host coming:** CREA’s REAL TIME podcast is also shaking things up in 2025, bringing on actor and comedian Shaun Majumder as a new host. You know him from 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes', right? A good Newfoundlander, bringing that East Coast connection.
I'll tell you what, these conversations are important for us here on the Fundy shore. With Saint John seeing a steady influx of new residents, understanding how to make buying a home straightforward and inclusive is key to our growth. Keep an eye on how these ideas translate to local practice here.
