Shared Home Ownership Meet & Greet Saturday, July 18 | 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Upstairs in the small meeting room at Quality Foods 27 Helmcken Road Are you looking for a more realistic way to enter the real estate market, build equity and establish greater housing security? Join Judy and me for a relaxed Meet & Greet with other like-minded people who are interested in buying and owning a home together. Come for coffee, tea or lunch—and please remind me that I said I would buy the coffee! 😉 This gathering is about more than simply looking at properties. It is an opportunity for us to learn more about you and help you take your next practical step. We’ll talk about: - Why you joined the community and what you hope to accomplish - Your housing needs, wants and deal-breakers - Whether you have completed your matchmaking profile - Participating in a small-group discussion, either in person or online - A realistic property example and how the numbers might work - Whether you would be open to an introduction to a compatible potential partner Co-ownership may still feel unfamiliar, but many housing models that are common today were once considered new. For the right people, shared home ownership can offer more flexibility and personal choice than a conventional strata arrangement. Depending on the property and the agreement you create together, you may be able to: - Choose the person who will share the property with you - Agree on whether dogs or other pets are welcome - Enjoy a barbecue, garden or private outdoor space - Establish your own smoking and lifestyle expectations - Create practical house rules that reflect the people who actually live there - Maintain separate, private living spaces while sharing the cost of ownership You don’t need to have everything figured out before attending. Tell us what you need, what concerns you and what kind of future you would like to create. There is a big, beautiful world of possibilities out there. Take a step forward, tell us what you are hoping for, and we will do our best to help you find a path toward it.

What’s on the menu tonight? Let’s talk about a few real-life housing opportunities and creative ideas that may be worth exploring: 🏡 Homes in the $400,000–$500,000 range Homes with their own yards, where you can have a BBQ, a garden, a fenced space for kids or a dog or two, plus parking for an extra car, boat, or even a motorhome. 🏘️ Townhomes with buyer incentives Some projects are offering $10,000–$20,000 bonuses to the salesperson — which in this case would be me — and I’m open to discussing how some or all of that could potentially help with your purchase. 📉 Buying down your interest rate Learn how some incentives can be used to reduce your interest rate and potentially make the monthly payment more manageable. 🚲 Thinking about giving up the car? We’ll also talk about a friend’s walkable condo/townhouse project coming soon near the Hillside Mall area — a location that could be ideal for people thinking about biking, walking, transit, or eventually going car-free. ❓ Have questions? Want answers? Come join the conversation. Tonight — Thursday, July 9th at 7:00 PM Join here: https://www.skool.com/live/WmS8vHZ28b5 See you there, David
