  • Which Milton neighbourhoods are considered family-friendly?

    First a property is listed with the Real Estate Board (the system that Sales Representatives use to find properties for their clients). Then, the Sales Representatives will likely erect a sign. It can be as long as a week before that property shows up on realtor.ca. By then, it could be sold. To make matters worse, the sale of the property may not be reported to realtor.ca for as much as another week to a month. If you are depending on realtor.ca, lawn signs or newspaper ads to find a new home, you are most definitely going to be disappointed time and again.
