Testimonial — Dan is an awesome agent

“Over the past 20 years, Dan has helped us buy and sell four different homes. That’s the biggest endorsement we can give – we keep coming back to Dan because he is honest, hard working and provides excellent service. He has given us excellent advice in preparing each house to get the best possible sale price and we’ve been happy with the result every time. He is patient, answers all our questions and continues to provide great advice even when he’s not buying or selling a home for us. Dan is an awesome agent and we would recommend him to everyone.”

Testimonial — far exceeded our expectations

“We have nothing but the highest of praise for Dan Moloughney in the recent sale of our home. He had come highly recommended by our daughter and far exceeded our expectations. To sell a house in the disquieting times that we now face was a worrisome challenge. Right from the start, Dan put our concerns at ease, guiding us through the language and the process, asking the right questions to ensure we put forward the best “product”, and also ensuring a carefully planned promotion process (inspections, publicity, and coordination to meet the unexpectedly high interest) to make that sale a reality. Dan priced the house at what he felt was its correct market value, although we were a bit surprised as it was higher than what we had anticipated. The fact that we received five offers over asking, the winning bid $77,000 over asking, speaks for itself. It was a great pleasure working with Dan and we cannot recommend him highly enough. ”

Testimonial — Valuable Advice during Negotiations

“It has been a pleasure working with Dan through the process of selling my townhouse in the Ottawa west end. He marketed my house very actively and efficiently and I feel I was able to sell at a good price. Dan always communicated proactively with me albeit a six-hour time difference – I live in Europe now. In particular I appreciated his valuable advice during the negotiation phase when we evaluated incoming offers and decided on our next steps. If you are in the maarket for a good agent – look no further!”

OPINION: CMHC insurance has shifted from enabling homeownership to inflating prices

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) mortgage loan insurance program is a government-backed initiative that allows homebuyers to purchase properties with less than a 20 per cent down payment.

Initially designed to help Canadians without significant savings enter the housing market, CMHC insurance has since become the single greatest catalyst of real estate demand in the federal government’s arsenal.
