It's Business As Usual ... It Just Looks A Little Different

For the signing of any legal documents, we will be moving forward with this new two step process:

  1. We will be using a video / audio conference platform called “Zoom”, which has been approved by the Law Society of Ontario. Please visit Zoom’s Frequently Asked Questions page for information on how this web-based service works.

  2. We will be sending the signing package and documents via courier prior to your call. The two couriers we will be using are Purolator and Zoom Service (different business from the above online platform). The package will be marked in all areas where you must sign. Please do not sign any documents prior to the Zoom call, as all signing must take place while on the Zoom video call for verification. During the Zoom call, we will review each page carefully and one at a time. Once we finish the call, we will arrange for the same courier to retrieve the documents from you and return them to our office for final processing of the file.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Mortgage Concerns?

Friday, March 20, 2020 at 2:00 pm Powerhouse Realty Group - Re/max Escarpment Realty Inc. will host a live Q&A Feed.

For any concerns or questions in regards to mortgage payments, we can confirm that most mortgage lenders have a program in place to address payment difficulties caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic. With requests to self-isolate, a pause to regular employment or other work-related matters resulting from COVID-19 that may impact you, lenders will look at your individual circumstances and try to come up with a tailored solution to fit your needs. This could potentially include a deferral of payments on mortgages for up to six months.

The Powerhouse Realty Group – Re/max Escarpment Realty Inc. will be hosting a LIVE Facebook and Instagram Feed tomorrow Friday, March 20, 2020 at 2:00 pm to answer any and all questions you may have.

Live Feed Panelists Include:

12 Days of Giving - Day 11

Emmanuel House Hospice was chosen by our Marketing Assistant, Stephanie Badour. During a difficult time for her and her family, her Nana stayed at Emmanuel House where she received excellent care and support. “I spend everyday and some nights at Emmanuel house for just over a month, and they treated us like family. No request was an annoyance, or too much. My Nana was treated with respect and compassion until her last breath. Nothing but appreciation and love for Emmanuel House Hospice. I also want to thank Carson Law for putting this incentive into place and having the staff feel so connected to something during the Holiday season.”

12 Days of Giving - Day 10

Our tenth day of giving is dedicated to Make-A-Wish Canada, chosen by our former Business Development and Marketing Assistant, Lisa Skipton. Lisa has seen the magic and difference that Make-A-Wish Canada can truly have. In high school, Make-A-Wish Canada helped her best friend’s wishes come true before she passed away, and Lisa can agree that this experience had helped her friend in fighting her disease for longer than doctors anticipated.

12 Days of Giving- Day 9

Our ninth day of giving was chosen by our Law Clerk, Joshua Goetz. He chose the Hamilton Foundation for Student Success by seeing first hand how too many children were going to school without lunches. With this program, no child has to feel embarrassed to ask for food or remain hungry. The Hamilton Foundation for Student Success provides lunches for these children in need. Any child going to school should have proper nutrition to aid in proper learning, and should never have a hungry belly. Thank you Joshua and thank you Hamilton Foundation for Student Success.

12 Days of Giving- Day 8

Our eighth day of giving has been chosen by our Business Development and Operations Manager, Chad Blundy. Unfortunately, cancer has been something that has impacted a number of Chad’s family members, in various ways. He has lost loved ones much too early as a result of this disease, and there are many important people in his life, both friends and family, who continue to fight. Recently, Chad’s aunt, Judy Kelly, was diagnosed with cancer and will require a full hysterectomy. Chad has selected Ovarian Cancer Canada since it supports the latest version of cancer to directly affect his family. “I am proud in knowing that my aunt will put up a strong fight, and I am also proud to work for a firm that will make a contribution to support her recovery … I encourage anyone and everyone to get to know all of the charities that the Carson Law staff have chosen and consider donating to whichever one they feel strongly about.”

*A donation to Ovarian Cancer Canada has been made in honour of Judy Kelly.*

12 Days of Giving - Day 7

These wonderful charities were chosen by two of our Law Clerks, Lisa Esposto and Rachel Melia, and our Administrative Assistant, Jan Christmas. All three of the lovely ladies have such passion for those who cannot care for themselves. From not wanting to see strays on the street, to adopting from these shelters themselves, they focus on those who give us unconditional love and who also need our support this time of year. “Love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man” - Charles Darwin

12 Days of Giving- Day 6

For our sixth day of giving, we will be donating to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society! This charity was chosen by our receptionist and brand ambassador, Kayla Wagstaff. She feels strongly about the work that CPAW does and hopes to preserve this country, that we are fortunate enough to call home, for future generations to cherish and enjoy. For over 50 years, CPAWS has been the only charity of its kind solely dedicated to protecting and preserving Canadian ecosystems and we hope they can continue on for many more years to come. Thank you Kayla and thank you CPAWS. “If you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven't spent the night with a mosquito.” – Dalai Lama

12 Days of Giving - Day 5

The Heart and Stroke's vision is a simple one... to see that Canadians live healthy lives, free of heart disease and stroke. Heart and Stroke’s selection as our Day 5 charity has been made by three of our caring staff; our real estate manager, Julie Saliba, our financial clerk, Joanne Stross, and our newest team member, our office administrator and client relations, Hilary Nixon. They all feel strongly about the work that Heart and Stroke does and have been personally affected by this life threatening disease. The hope is that one day there will be no more stroke victims.

For a limited time, one time donations to the heart and stroke will be matched by Manulife.

12 Days of Giving - Day 4

The Canadian Cancer Society has been chosen by one of our Lawyers, Erika Warren. Erika has chosen this charity because a number of her relatives, both recent and over the course of her life, have passed away from different forms of cancer. Erika hopes that by donating to the Canadian Cancer Society, it might help them in their research towards finding a cure.

12 Days of Giving - Day 3

Our third day of giving is dedicated to The Canadian Mental Health Association, chosen by our Real Estate Clerk, Crystal Liberty. This charity resonates with Crystal as being someone with a history of mental health struggles. “There is still a lot of stigma plaguing mental health. It took me a while to get to where I am today and I want others to know that they are not alone and they can achieve whatever they want. They do have support, no door is closed, no back is turned. All you need to do is ask for help. Yes, that may be hard at first, but worth it in the long run.”

12 Days of Giving - Day 2

Our second day of giving is dedicated to Kidney Cancer Canada. This charity was chosen by our Real Estate Clerk, Courtney Holland. Courtney’s mother was recently diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. Kidney Cancer Canada was able to help Courtney and her family in a time of unknowns with information and avenues for support. We thank Kidney Cancer Cancer for their caring and support to thousands of Canadians and thank you Courtney for bringing this charity into our lives.

12 Days of Giving - Day 1

Our first day of giving was chosen by one of our law clerks, Denise Crockford. Denise loves all things horses so no surprise that this is her second year choosing this charity. Big Red is why Denise is so fond of this rescue. She was able to see first hand the care for him, the dedication of the volunteers, and how a rescue can be transformed into a confident animal within a short period of time. Thank you Denise and thank you Whispering Hearts Horse Rescue for all your hard work and dedication!
