Make a Statement with Your Front Door

Make a Statement with Your Front Door

Your front door is one of the first things guests notice when visiting your home. In addition to providing security and protection, your front door can make a bold statement and reflect your personal style.

But whether or not your current front door matches your home’s interior and your taste, if you feel a draft, see any cracks or hear squeaky joints or scraping sounds, it may be time to replace it. Consider your options with some of the most common front door materials and features.

Remax and the Stollery Childrens Hospital

Remax and the Stollery Childrens Hospital

The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation is a proud member of Children’s Miracle Network. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children in local communities. It raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals, 14 of which are in Canada.
The Foundation’s relationship with Children’s Miracle Network brings with it many special partnerships with national corporate partners, who make a big difference in the lives of children each year through their fundraising efforts.
When you see the Children’s Miracle Network balloon symbol in Edmonton and northern Alberta, that event or activity is raising funds for the Stollery Children’s Hospital.  We hope you’ll support these programs and help us to send more children home each year.

Whether buying or selling your home, you have several decisions to make.

Should you work with a REALTOR®? Which real estate company will provide the best value? Which REALTOR® within that company will be best suited to help you through the process?

We reached out to the RE/MAX Influencers: A panel consisting of RE/MAX Sales Associates from throughout Canada. We asked them: Why should a consumer work with RE/MAX when he/she has so many options out there?

The Brand

Chances are, you would have a hard time finding someone who has never heard of “RE/MAX.” With 100,000 Sales Associates in nearly 100 countries worldwide, the RE/MAX name—along with the iconic balloon—represents a professional organization that has become an industry leader.

RE/MAX also advertises through many mediums, including: Television, print, online and physical signs such as NHL rink boards. This high level of exposure will go to work for you when listing your property. Many RE/MAX Sales Associates are also affiliated with the Children’s Miracle Network; therefore, the sale of a RE/MAX Miracle Home will help support your local children’s hospital. According to ComScore, RE/MAX Canada also leads other real estate brands with its significant traffic to remax.ca.

“In an uncertain market, consumers become less speculative. Instead, they rely on proven brands to reinforce their efforts to manage one of their most important investments. They rely on the experience and expertise that has made RE/MAX one of the most recognizable brands in the real estate world.”

“RE/MAX is often a collection of the top REALTORS® in any given marketplace. RE/MAX also has an international network: This type of network could be where the buyer of my client’s home comes from.”
