JEFF MICHIE | Associate Partner/Broker “We tried to sell our home last year through a different agent and went through a bit of a 3 month nightmare. From the first time Jeff came to our home we felt more comfortable with him. He was honest with us, great with communicating and made our whole experience much less stressful…. We sold our home and found the home of our dreams within days after waiting over a year for it all to happen. A HUGE thank you to your entire team especially Jeff. We have told a lot of people and will continue to so and recommend your team. Thank you again!” D & M CHARETTE - ST CLEMENTS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2016 VOLUME 7 EDITION 44 mcna 2015 Best All Around Newspaper of the Year SERVING SELKIRK, LOCKPORT, ST. ANDREWS, ST.
