Keller Williams often describes itself as a training and consulting company, thinly disguised as a real estate brokerage. We’re always bringing expert educators and speakers to keep our training current, and our knowledge of where Ottawa is headed as a city, as up-to-date as possible. I recently had a chance to attend a superb information […]

New regulations and rising interest rates have some homeowners wondering if we have seen the last of these price gains.
