So Many Newmarket Realtors: Choose Harry Naghavi

Why choose Harry Naghavi?

There are so many Realtors in Newmarket, so many Realtors in Aurora, Realtors in Richmond Hill, everywhere! How should you choose? How do you know what the best choice is?

1. First of all, make sure you do have a Realtor to represent you when you sell and when you buy. Real Estate is complex and mistakes can have huge, costly consequences. Get professional help. This is no place for DIY. Harry is an experienced and knowledgeable professional.
2. Think about what success means to you. I'm not a pushy Realtor whose success is the result of making fast deals. Some people are out for fast money, the fancy car. That's not what success means to me. My success is in getting the best deals for my clients, giving them the best service, not turning houses around for my profit. If you're in a hurry, we can sell your house fast, but fast is not always best. I have represented clients in fast-and-fierce bidding wars in Toronto, and I've spent years with families holding on to investment properties, waiting for the right buyer with the right price.  I'm not a rich Realtor. Happy clients define success to me. Harry Naghavi is a successful Realtor. 
3. Selling your home with a local Realtor is a good idea. I would make sure my neighbour's house sold well, darn sure. A sale in my neighbourhood affects the value of my home, so I'd have a personal interest in that sale, beyond a paycheque. Harry is your best choice for a Newmarket Realtor or a York Region Realtor.
4. Buying your home with a local Realtor is also a good idea. A Newmarket Realtor can tell you all about Newmarket. That being said, your Realtor is a professional who will research an area for you. I have bought and sold homes and businesses far from my home all over Ontario. Whether I'm working in my backyard or far afield, I do a thorough job to get the best deal for my clients. Harry is hard-working, and does a thorough job.
5. Work with someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. This is probably the biggest and most important purchase of your life. Make sure you're comfortable and don't feel pushed or bullied. You need someone honest and friendly on your side. Sure, Real Estate can get tough and stressful, but it's your Realtor's job to get tough on your behalf and deal with the stress for you, not to be tough with you and give you stress! Harry is "Your Friendly Realtor". 
6. Work with someone who understands you, takes the time to get to know you, and puts you first. You are the most important factor, not the property and not the paycheque. I will get to know you so I can help you best. Let me help you. Harry is not #1. You are #1!

 

Choose Newmarket for your Family and Business

If you’re considering moving to Newmarket, good thinking!

I moved up here from Toronto in 1996 and I love it. It’s been a perfect place to raise a family, to do business, and to enjoy life.

Take a look at the Wikipedia page for Newmarket. There is a ton of good information about our town, and lots of great reasons to make it your home. You can follow this link. 

Here are some simple facts from that page:

“According to the 2011 census, the town's population was 79,978. The York Region Planning Department projects a population of 98,000 by 2026. Newmarket's population density is just over 2000 inhabitants per square kilometer, ranking it third in Ontario and 33rd in Canada. 

English is the mother tongue of 77.4% of Newmarket residents, according to the 2011 Census. Italian is the mother tongue for 1.8% of the population, followed by French at 1.4%, and Russian and Spanish, each at 1.3%.

In 2005, the average household income in Newmarket was $96,680.00, far exceeding the provincial average for the same year of $77,967.00”

Check out that bottom line!

If you’re thinking of starting a business, start it here. Newmarket is not only a perfect place to raise a family, but also a great place to do business. People from all over the region come to Newmarket to shop at the Upper Canada Mall, along Yonge Street, on Historic Main Street and all around town. Highway 404 conveniently brings people up into town at Mulock, Davis Drive and Green Lane. 

Although many Newmarket residents commute to jobs in Toronto, something I did for a number of years as well, there are lots of jobs right here. And, the town is growing and improving constantly.  

Here’s what Wikipedia says about our economy:

“Newmarket features a diverse and growing economy based largely in the business services and knowledge industries, and the administrative, manufacturing and retail sectors.

The following are some of the Town's major public sector employers:

• Southlake Regional Health Centre

• Regional Municipality of York

• Town of Newmarket

• York Regional Police

• Royal Canadian Mounted Police Headquarters

• Ontario Court of Justice

• York Region District School Board

• York Catholic District School Board

• Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority

• The following are some of the town's major private sector employers:

• Allied International Credit

• Flextronics

• TS Tech Canada Inc.

• Effem Foods

• CeDe Candy

• Exco Technologies

• Magna International

• Snap-On Tools

• Cintas

Notwithstanding these major employers, a large percentage of Newmarket's population commutes to Toronto for employment.”

TGIF! Time to get away from it all -right here in Newmarket

Another Friday, and the 400 is a parking lot. Tons of people are all heading north from Toronto to get away from it all. Heading to a lake, to the woods, to a cottage, a cabin, a trailer, a tent, they just want to have some space and fresh air away from the city.

Another bunch of people are at home in Newmarket, enjoying a big backyard, maybe a pool, maybe a walk in the park. They're going to the lake tomorrow, fishing, or to the beach for a couple of hours after going to the Saturday Farmer's Market in the morning. Lake Simcoe is just up the street. And, maybe tomorrow night, they'll go to a game in Toronto, or meet with some friends. It's not that far.

A weekend at home can be as good as a holiday.

Thinking about getting away from it all in Newmarket?

Give me a call. I'll help you find a home that gives you a weekend getaway every weekend, without the traffic. 

You can afford to buy a house. Do it.

Not to be outdone by my wife, I’m going to quote Mark Twain.

Renate blogged today about singing and dancing. That Mark Twain quote could have been a Shania Twain quote.

Here’s one that has teeth:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I like this one because it includes fishing. I like the image of taking to the water to explore and dream.

It also appeals to me because I’m getting to the point in my life where I’m starting to look back and evaluate things. I think about these things when I’m on a lake or in the woods. When I get back to “reality” I feel inspired to make a change, to go ahead and shake things up a bit.

Just do it! Nike got to the point.

I like to quote Newton’s first law of motion too: A body at rest tends to stay at rest. This appeals to me because it’s simple physics but it means so much more.

If you’re satisfied with who you are, what you’re doing, where you live, your weight, your hairstyle, then don’t make any changes. If you don’t change anything, chances are things will tend to stay the same- your weight, your income. Ok, your hair might grow.

But, get out of your routine and you’ll see some changes, improvement. Leave the safe harbour behind.

Almost twenty years ago, Renate and I made some big decisions, took some risks and sailed off to Newmarket.  We scraped together a down payment for a house, went over-budget, and bought our first house near Main Street and Davis Drive. That was the best thing we ever did! We could not have done it in Toronto. If we had stayed, we’d still be renting. We didn’t even dare dream of a house like the one we now own!

Take the first step today. Call me or email me and ask me about getting into a house in Newmarket. We could get you into something in Bradford or Keswick too. You can get a lot of house for your money up here.

Do it.
