How i get started in real estate?
25 April 2025

Hey dad, how did you get started in real estate? Well, it's an interesting story and I think you'll appreciate this.I well I wanted to work in real estate right out of high school but my dad says no, you've got to go to university first and I said okay fine You said the same thing to me yeah yeah and So I went to university for one year and then ended up getting a corporate job where I was kind of moving up the ladder and I figured well I'll be better off staying in this corporate environment and moving up as opposed to continuing with university. Unfortunately I got kind of in that trap of being in that company then I wanted to get into real estate but I couldn't afford it that was the problem

because at that time and still today you have to have a a good amount of money saved up to invest in yourself, in your business, in your clients to really be successful and so that was kind of where it was just kind of left and until one day my mom called me and just to go for lunch and we got talking and she said well if you want to get into real estate I'll help you out and I said well amazing and that was literally like probably like a little over 25 years ago now. What did she do to help you out. Two things and this is going back to I guess what we do now for agents coming in is provide them with business right away. So, a person just starting out typically you know how you see on day 1 you're going to start calling people you know and saying hey you know can I buy or sell your house you know anybody wants to buy or sell a house  but if you're working in a team day one you can kinda get somebody to work with and be mentored by somebody so and that's what happened  with working with my mom and is that you know kind of on day one like day one I remember picking up my lockbox key to go show houses and I had a client who was able to sell a house in my first week which also helps with kind of getting rolling and being successful having those early successes and not being stressed by not making any money  yeah so that that was how I started real estate. I love that and now you're carrying on your mom's legacy Judy Lindsay Team. That's right yeah with my daughter here working with me. Yes, yes Maybe one day I'll carry it on for you.

Winnipeg Market Update September 2025

11 September 2025
Don't do this if you're thinking of selling this Fall or Winter but first, what happened in the Winnipeg Real Estate Market in August. In August, in Winnipeg, we saw sales down 11% but prices increase 4.7% In condos we saw sales down 24% and a small increase in price of .003% Exactly as we thought, August turned out to be a great month. Strong sales, increase in pricing and we expect the same thing to happen going into the Fall however, even though September and October can be great months to sell in it can turn quickly depending on the weather which means don't wait to have pictures taken of your yard. Right now everything looks wonderful but come the Fall and come Winter buyers won't know how wonderful it is. That's why we will send out a professional photographer for FREE right now to get those pictures taken so when it does come time to sell you'll have access to these pictures and your home will absolutely show its best getting you more money and selling more quickly. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900

I'm Upset

28 August 2025
Ryan? Can you come here for a sec？Hey, what's up？OK, come have a seat. I'm really upset with you. I'm upset, because you didn't give anyone else a chance for employee of the month. Everyone here in the office voted, not only for sales, but also for helping out everybody in the office, they voted you employee of the month so I've got to give you this and I'm also going to give you the parking stall closest to the office as well but I also wanted to say that I appreciate you're doing, not only for our clients but also for the staff inside the office and keep up the good work!Hey thanks! www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900

Winnipeg Market Update August 2025

12 August 2025
If you're buying a house in Winnipeg right now or thinking of buying a house I'm going to give you a great tip that's going to literally save you tens of thousands of dollars but first let me tell you what's going on in the Winnipeg real estate market. In July in Winnipeg we saw house sales fall 6.2% but prices increase 4% In condos we saw sales decline 23% but prices increase 7.4% As expected the market continues to be very strong in Winnipeg. How are you going to save tens of thousands of dollars if you're thinking of buying a house right now or in the near future? Well, pay attention to the market in August. Every August it's the exact same thing. We see houses come to market and for one reason or another they get missed, maybe it has to do with kids going back to school, life just being busy at the end of August but certain houses get missed. We just had a client last week they probably got this house for $20,000 under what they would have paid for it if they'd bought it in April or May but right now pay attention to these houses they're going to come to market and not sell and you just have to be on them and you can get really good buys right now. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900

Winnipeg Market Update July 2025

3 July 2025
As a Realtor the No. 1 thing I would never do when selling my house in the Summer. But first, what happened in the Winnipeg Real Estate Market in June? In June in Winnipeg we saw the average price of a single family detached house go up 12.5% over last year. We saw sales however, decrease 3.4% In condos we saw the average price increase 6.3% and sales were down 24.6% As you can see, the market in Winnipeg continues to be really strong. We're still seeing lots of bidding wars, increase in pricing and increase in sales. Now, the one thing I would never do if I was selling in the Summer, I wouldn't underprice my house. The reason is even though in July and August we still see lots of sales we don't see the same kind of intense demand that we see in March, April, May and June which means that if you underprice your house you may not get the same expectation of a high bidding war that you would have seen early in the year just due to the lack of demand because there's a lot more inventory on the market. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900

One of the Biggest Red Flags I See When Hiring an Agent

19 June 2025
One of the biggest red flags I see when hiring an agent is agents that are very quick to reduce their commission. If they're quick to reduce the commission in front of you to make the deal what do you think that's going to happen when it comes time to negotiate the price on your house? Out there in the market right now there's 3% Realty, 2% Realty, 1% Realty or even do it free and post it online but it is really just a race to the bottom and what you really want to be looking at is what kind of value is the agent going to be bringing to make sure I net the most out of my sale. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900
