*************************
StreetCity Realty Inc. officially launched its new branch office in Sault Ste Marie Thursday, hosting a hospitality event for the community.

StreetCity is a leading real estate brokerage headquartered in London Ont., with branches in Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto, Port Dover and Simcoe, Kingston, St. Thomas, Forest, Hamilton and Burlington, Glencoe and Sarnia, Ont. StreetCity is Ontario’s fastest growing real estate brokerage, with new branches opening in communities across the province.

At the ribbon cutting was StreetCity Co-founders, Mary Johnson and Costa Poulopoulos, who has been a director of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA).

Mr. Poulopoulos, who is a 30-year veteran of the realty business, noted, “StreetCity Realty Inc. is truly on a roll and we could not be more pleased to be opening in Sault Ste. Marie, and we could not have found a better community and business leader than Jean Morrison to manage our newest location. Jean’s professionalism, her commitment to customer service and her strong leadership skills are a perfect fit with our client-focused, highly experienced executive team.”

Morrison stated, “The Sault real estate market continues to be healthy, with inventory being a little tighter in the first-time buyer range. If marketed and priced right, properties tend to move quickly. The great fall weather continues to get the buyers out and has definitely been beneficial for our market.”

Lending a hand to mark the opening, was Sault Ste. Marie Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Ross Romano. “I want to congratulate StreetCity Realty on the opening of their new office on Queen Street East. Their corporate philosophy with its roots in strong family values, combined with their level of professionalism and focus on community involvement will be a fantastic addition to the Sault.”

Also attending the open house was City Councilor for Ward 3, Matthew Shoemaker.

StreetCity is independent, Canadian-owned real estate brokerage and is not a franchise. StreetCity is a partner of Peerage Realty Partners Inc. of Toronto, which provides financial backing and expert resources for its partner companies.

Don Kottick, executive vice president of Peerage Realty and also a director of CREA said, “Peerage Realty is so pleased to be part of such a dynamic partnership with StreetCity Realty. Across the province they are attracting top real estate professionals as their mission is to conduct business with a difference in residential and commercial real estate space. And having been born in the Sault, it is personally and professionally gratifying for me to see StreetCity and Peerage investing and operating in this thriving city.”

StreetCity is known for focusing on superior customer service and professionalism, supported by the latest technology and social media marketing. Its distinctive, contemporary orange and gray for sale signs are popular with sellers wanting to attract buyer attention to their properties.
