<p>Here is a video I did about the keynote that Gary Vaynerchuk did at this years Re/Max Kickstart rally in downtown Toronto. Gary was full of energy and provided us with some great information about how to best use social media for our business.</p>
<p>I came away with that all you need to do to be successful with social media is to be yourself and don&#8217;t market to people. People will find you when they need you if you provide them value. You need to be patient!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Be sure to checkout Gary&#8217;s new book, &#8220;The Thank You Economy&#8221;. <a href="http://thankyoueconomybook.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://thankyoueconomybook.com/</a></p>
<p>Thank you GaryVee!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Warren McNeil,</p>
<p>I am a little apprehensive saying this because as soon as I say it, we will be hit with a big snowstorm. I hope Spring is here? I love Spring for a few reasons.  I always know when Spring is here because I get to go to the Elmira Maple Syrup festival. Who doesn&#8217;t love Sapfest! I can picture those pancakes now.. Yummmmmy!! The second thing is I get to open my fish pond. Hopefully my fish are OK this year. There were a couple of really cold nights. We have had really good luck over the past 5 years so I am expecting this year to be the same.</p>
<p>The other way we can tell Spring is here is the Kitchener Waterloo Real Estate market heats up. I can tell this year is going to be hot. Buyers are &#8220;chomping at the bit&#8221; to get out house hunting. Some already are.. The biggest issue though is the lack of inventory. There are lots of multiple offers going on and buyers are paying more money for houses. Sellers are getting top dollar for their houses. The is great for sellers but not so great for buyers. With that said, interest rates are still low. I think the key thing buyers should consider is the money they are saving in interest from the bank is offset by the prices  they are paying for the houses.  Move-up buyers will get more money for their houses but they will also pay more money for the house they plan to buy.  </p>
<p>What does this all mean? To me it means that it is still  a good time to buy despite the higher prices. Not all areas are effected. So you can still get good deals if you look for them. Research is important before making decision.</p>
<p>It is important to get out and see everything that is available and act fast when you find the house you like.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
