We were honoured to have Nick Hill and Daniel Foch join us from the #1 Real Estate podcast: The Canadian Real Estate Investors! I am a huge fan of their show and how they dive into the market data across Canada each week. Their insights into trends and predicting upcoming events is always a pleasure to listen to for me. Join us this week as we discuss investment opportunities, how people get it wrong when timing the market and new trends we think are the new disruptors

Join me as I chat with Jay Papernick of Assante Wealth Management. Early on in our friendship we recognized a synergy between our two businesses. Not only the way we take care of our clients but also how closely connected 'the purchase' is as well. Jay is back this week to discuss how certain and predictable the market is right now...and where he sees it going in the next 18 months. Plus some investment advice if you are thinking of buying in.

Join me as I talk to Joel Kadish from Kadish Law in this episode about how Buyers and Sellers have changed, pricing expectations & things to avoid in the current market.
