Canadian Real Estate Association reports that home sales rose year over year, a sign that

the housing market is on a “solid ooting”.

At Hammond International Properties, it is ull speed ahead. Now, more than ever, it is

imperative to be fexible, relentless, ecient, and inventive to conduct business. On behal
