Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day to all my family, friends, clients and neighbours! I hope everyone is enjoying a safe and happy holiday, and gearing up for some fun fireworks tonight. As a real estate agent, I’m actively involved in my community, and of course I take great pride in being a Canadian. It’s wonderful to have opportunities like these to relax a little, but also be reminded of how lucky we are to live in this great, peaceful country of ours. Cheers!

Mother’s Day Open House in Beautiful CBS
Happy Mother’s Day, one and all! This is a celebratory day for many families, including mine – because with great moms, there’s so much to celebrate. So I hope all our moms out there are able to truly indulge this weekend, and that they know how loved they are every day of the year.
Of course, being a real estate agent, you might say I have a one track mind. So I think there’s no better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with an Open House! Especially when it’s a beautiful family home in a great neighbourhood in CBS – I’m sure there are lots of moms and dad out there who would appreciate it – so I hope I’ll see you there tomorrow.

Open House in Great St. John’s Neighbourhood, with Apartment!
Once again, I’m excited to share another beautiful home in St. John’s, where I’ll be hosting an open house tomorrow.

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, one and all. I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend, and able to celebrate today with family, friends, and perhaps a visit from the Easter Bunny. I know he’ll be visiting my house this year, and I suspect we’ll be left with more than enough chocolates and treats to feed a small army.
I don’t host my regular Sunday Open Houses on holidays – because I want you to enjoy time with loved ones as I know I will be. But if you have any questions about real estate or finding your dream home in Newfoundland, please don’t hesitate to get in touch anytime, any day, at 682-0744 or mark@markglynnhomes.com.
