Quotes

“Cambridge is a very self-contained area. There's lots of employment going on around here. They actually call Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo the technology hub of Canada.” - Walter Monteiro

“The growth is quite something. Our average sale price in the community here has just skyrocketed. But still, in comparison to what you can buy in Toronto, you can get pretty much twice the house for what you pay in the city.” - Walter Monteiro

“The thing about the real estate business is that it's something that pays very well. So, when you get people, especially those who are victims of downsizing or any kind of unemployment, you're getting a very talented pool of people who are suddenly coming into the real estate business as a second career.” - Walter Monteiro
