Welcome to the month of April. By the time you are reading this, you will be deep into it. That means I can't play any April Fool jokes on you. Never been a fan of those anyway.

One BIG deal in April is TAX day! Yep! Deadlines for filing those personal income tax returns. I don't think most people mind paying taxes as long as they are being put to good use. I think it's the waste that bothers most us citizens.

Both days I mention above are for sure conversation starters, one full of funny stories, the other maybe not so much, but there are few days more memorable than the day you buy your dream home. That day is supposed to be fun, exciting and great feeling of accomplishment.

Therefore, we offer guarantees and assurances to our clients. We call this Our Risk Removal System. Like our Guaranteed Sale Program: Your Home Sold at a Price Agreeable to You or We'll Buy It*. And our VIP Buyer Satisfaction Guarantee: If You Are Not Happy With Your Home, We Will Buy It Back!* In fact, our Exclusive Seller Agreements Offer 10 Unprecedented Guarantees. In my experience, these guarantees elevate our service and our clients experience.

And by now, four paragraphs into this month's Homeward Bound, you are wondering how the headline ties into any of this. If you are receiving Homeward Bound for the first time, you will notice we give back to those in our community who need help the most. Like our neighbours at the CMHA!

Your Referrals Help Continue the Life Changing Work by CMHA!

The reason for the headline is because 30 seconds is about all it takes to think about who you know that may be considering buying or selling the place they call home and to give us a call. If it is you, then awesome! If it's a friend or family member, that's great too!

CMHA serves over 21,500 clients annually through a variety of programs including case management, crisis services, brief counseling, addiction medicine clinics, and criminal justice services. Everyone has ups and downs in their everyday life, but if your mental health is affecting your daily life or getting in the way of your work or relationships, CMHA can help. If you are worried about a friend or family member's mental health or substance use, CMHA can help!

Who do you know considering buying or selling a home you could refer to our real estate sales team? Not only will they benefit from our award-winning real estate service, a very worthy cause will benefit as well. I want to make it easy to refer your friends, neighbours, associates or family members considering making a move, so here are your options: You can call me direct at 647-834-9928 or pass on my number.

If you are receiving this issue of Homeward Bound by mail, you can complete the Referral Response Card enclosed or pass along one of my business cards. Over the last two decades of helping thousands of families sell their homes and/or buy another, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you! So your referrals, those you know considering a move, that we help- you can rest assured that not only will they get the award-winning service we are known for and the guarantee to back it up, but that a solid portion of the income we receive from the transaction will go toward a very worthy cause.

With all my appreciation!
