At Ethos we of course adhere to the Realtor Code and Realtor Code of Ethics. But ethics in real estate involves more than simply using the word.
An ethical approach requires putting into practice procedures and systems that actually deliver value for money. For us at Ethos, it also means ensuring our community is as strong as it can be by being actively involved in its many programs and organizations.
Another element of ethical practice in real estate is actively communicating to our clients and all our potential clients. That's why we've included the following forum - to hear your questions and concerns regarding buying, selling and owning a home in Manitoba.
As always, we look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Rising rates affect more than just consumers looking to purchase a home and take out a new mortgage. Current mortgage rates are still at historical lows, though this may not be the case for long. If you are part way through a fixed term, it may be worth considering doing a ‘blend and extend’. This is where financial institutions who offer this option will not charge you a pre-payment penalty to break your mortgage, but will allow you to blend your existing locked in rate with the current fixed term rate and lock into a new term of your choosing.
