"Also; more money is made in real estate investments than in any other investment." Mr. Hockin spoke to the Rotary Club of Bowmanville at their noon meeting on May 2 held at the Flying Dutchman Hotel. Mr. Hockin Hockin was pinch-hitting for the programmed speaker, who was unable to attend. He was presenting his classification classification talk - a speech which Rotarians give to their fellow-members fellow-members about the business business or profession in which they are employed. Brad Hockin joined the Rotary Club in November of last year. His speech, entitled "Real Estate: What is it," was informative informative and it updated the state of the real estate market market in the present climate of recession. "The present market, is down about 20% to 30%," he said. But, he added that although although there is not much confidence in the market right now, "we are moving back into a stable market;" Mr. Hockin cited the falling falling mortgage rate as one factor factor in getting the real estate market back on its feet. He explained the three phases which go into the selling of a property: the listing, the marketing, and the presentation presentation of the offer. There are many venues open to the real estate salesperson salesperson today in which to advertise advertise a listed property - newspapers, magazines, radio radio ana television. Also a great boon to marketing property today is the computer computer network of homes which shows prospective buyers color pictures of homes listed in their price range. "When we list a property, we rely upon comparison properties which are similar to the subject property in size, construction and location. location. Then, we arrive at a price which the vendor believes believes is fair and the agent believes he can realistically sell the property for. Then we market the property in the various media and hope for an offer we can present," he said. Mr. Hockin stressed that honest representation of their clients is what makes a real estate company successful. successful. Mr. Hockin also stated that the commission which the agent receives is negotiable, negotiable, but that without the offer and a completed sale, there is no payment for any work performed. To boost their incomes, agents can command a referral referral fee from other agents who have clients who are looking for properties outside outside their areas. For example, example, if a resident of London, Ontario, was looking to relocate relocate to this area, an agent in London could contact a local agent with the pertinent information information about the size and price the client was willing to pay for a property and have the local agent prepare some properties for the client to see. This saves a lot of time' and frustration for the purchaser. Mr. Hockin said that mid-range properties, properties, those in the $150,000 to $200,000 range are moving now that there is a quickening quickening market, but those homes under $100,000 are scarce. "The first-time purchasers have made some good deals in this market, but now, the second-time buyers are lo- looking at homes in the midprice midprice range." So what's not moving in today's market? "There are lots of homes in the $250,000 to $300,000 range with no buyers," he said. "I'm glad that I chose real estate as my profession," Mr. Hockin summed up. "You get to meet and help people with that biggest purchase purchase of their lives and that makes me a very happy man." Guests of Rotary were: Barry Shackelton, of Thunder Thunder Bay, Ed llyzer, of .Oshawa, Doug Dempsey, District Governor from Wil- lowdale, Manny Kapur and Bruce Madge, of Peterborough. Peterborough. Bob Stevens was serenaded serenaded with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to You. Bob and Mary Jane Po- cock celebrated their anniversary. anniversary. The Rotary Beef Dinner is coming up on June 15. Tickets are available now. Bob Stevens introduced Mr. Hockin and Garnet Rickard thanked him. President Bill Whyte closed the meeting with this thought: Growing old gracefully gracefully is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

The meeting began with an upbeat upbeat devotional led by Glenda Glenda Hull and the School's chamber ensemble. The first agenda item was a series of reports from a number of board committees committees and from Ellen Brum- well, Student Council President. President. There was a farewell to retiring board members, with thanks for the many hours of hard work, all done on a volunteer basis. A major major agenda item was the adoption of the budget. Given Given the tough financial times, the budget was trimmed as far as possible without hindering hindering the quality of education education offered. For many parents, parents, the money needea to run Durham is a real difficult difficult commitment, and tough times are not making it any easier. The fact that Ontario lags far behind western provinces in recognizing everyone's everyone's right to educate their children in the framework framework of their faith, makes it frustrating as well. A second important item, was the issue of credit for the school Bible courses. The Education Ministry has informed informed the school that it should no longer allow credit for these courses. This is a very great source of frustration frustration to DCHS and all other Christian High Schools in Ontario, especially since Roman Roman Catholic Schools are allowed allowed 2 credits for religious studies. A number of options had been offered from various various sides, including renam ing these courses to History or Guidance, but that was felt to be less than honest. This issue was addressed both by Gwendy Gesch, who reported from the Ontario Association for Alternate and independent Schools, and by principal Ren Sieben- ga. The meeting was well attended attended and was closed with another brief devotional led by Glenda Hull. eel van Prospective Purchasers look to Edvan Realty because of our proven record of success.
