Sudbury Opens Its Doors to A New Way Home
SUDBURY, ON, March 15, 2022 - Sudbury is one of the most affordable cities in Ontario for first-time home buyers and with the recent launch of modern real estate brokerage FairSquare Group Realty in the Greater Sudbury area, dedicated REALTORS® and real estate professionals are excited to be part of this growing community, helping the people of Sudbury find their perfect home and providing services that will bring ease and comfort to the real estate process.
“Affordability is a key factor when it comes to real estate, but we know the journey involves more than looking for the cheapest price,” says Pascal Laflamme, President at FairSquare Group Realty. “That’s why we pair our clients with the right person at each stage of their real estate journey to ensure a customized approach while saving sellers thousands in commission and offering buyers cash back.”
FairSquare’s modern and practical alternative to real estate has seen tremendous success, currently operating in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba. 2021 stats show:
- FairSquare Group Realty sold 1 home every 3 hours last year1
- FairSquare Group Realty saved Canadian home sellers an average of $13,500 in commission last year2
- FairSquare Group Realty gave Canadian home buyers $1.72 million in cash back last year3
Saving money is key while collaborative approach gains momentum
A recent survey4 commissioned by FairSquare found 63% of Ontarians believe saving money is the most important aspect of a real estate transaction.
The survey also showed over one-third (38%) of Ontarians are interested in working with a brokerage that offers many experts throughout the real estate process versus working with one agent.
“Though there has been a rise in real estate prices across the country during the pandemic, the price of homes in Sudbury is below the provincial average, making this city much more affordable than other markets in Ontario,” says Chris Ladouceur, Executive Vice President and General Manager at FairSquare Group Realty. “With the opportunity to save our clients' money while providing support from dedicated real estate professionals, we know our modern, customer-centric approach to real estate will profoundly support the housing market in Sudbury.”
Desjardins Group, Canada's leading financial cooperative, acquired FairSquare in 2020.
"Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions that consumers will make in their lives,” says Josée Préseault, Regional Vice-President, Sudbury and Northern Ontario at Desjardins Ontario Credit Union. “Through our partnership with FairSquare, we will continue to support Sudburians in their real estate journey, saving them money while offering cutting-edge technology and exceptional services.”
