Contrary to popular belief, Realtor services are not primarily about Real Estate. They are about the people who own or are buying Real Estate - the clients. This is a fact not lost on us here with the HodgesLodges team. We continuously work on improving our abillity to better serve you and your needs and desires. If you are well served, our needs will take care of themselves.

Many Realtors offer differences in their service relative to their competitors. But sorting out which diffferences are simply different, or primarily benefit the interest of the service provider, from those that are meaningful differences for your benefit can be truly challenging and elusive.

At HodgesLodges.ca we continuously search for ways to distinguish ourselves for the greater benefit of our clients. Our most recent change has truly accomplished our goal of offering a level of service setting a benchmark standard for all others to compare themselves. 

By joining the reknowned brokerage of Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, as local Realtors for Northumberland, East Durham and South Peterborough, the HodgesLodges team of Christine and Stephen Hodge have positioned themselves as providers of all the strengths offered by several local real estate boards.

ALL of our listings, big or small, are posted both to the local Northumberland Hills Association of Realtors and the GTA encompassing Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) at a minimum. Each offers significant advantages over the other - advantages we can pick and choose from, offering you - the client - the best of both. No more having to choose between which is best or where your buyer may come from - from now on everyone can have both all the time.

And that's further to all the work we have done personally to create a marketing system - centred around our award winning web site HodgesLodges.ca - that has garnered high-levels of traffic locally and from around the world.

So without further ado - here are the advantages of working with us in a convenient point form list. If you aren't certain of what any of these numbers mean to your next move, call us. We're happy to explain the thinking behind all of them!
