Meinhardt Fine Foods Combines with Averbach Mortgages on a Co-marketing Campaign

February 22nd, 2008

Meinhardts

Averbach

The Averbach Mortgages Team is please to announce a marketing collaboration with Meinhardt Fine Foods, South Granville's favorite grocery store. "We are thrilled with the opportunity for the chance to put our name alongside a long standing and well recognized brand," says Mike Averbach, owner of TMG The Mortgage Group – Averbach Mortgages Ltd.

Averbach Mortgages will begin a major admail campaign distribution to nearly 12,000 door steps in the South Granville area starting March 3rd, 2008. If you live in between Burrard and Oak Street and West 33rd and False Creek, you will receive our double-sided 12 x 3.5 inch postcard with a perforation to detach a coupon for redemption at Meinhardt Fine Foods (a new one every month!). On the other side, there is the contact info for Averbach Mortgages mortgage manager, Justin Blacklock.

Meinhardt Fine Foods will have an in-store display with the selected item for that month and the ad piece/coupon readily available. They will also be putting flyers in bags so when you visit Meinhardt's next you can take advantage of the offer. "This is huge exposure for the Averbach Mortgages brand!" Mike adds, "We are certainly piggy-backing off of the strong Meinhardt name. We wanted to do something very different, something that no broker firm or individual has done before. What better way to do it than within my own community!"

The admail campaign is expected to go on indefinitely though the co-marketing with Meinhardt is only expected to run through the end of Spring but possibly longer.

The BC Government has amended the First Time Home Buyers requirements.

February 20th, 2008

The qualifications for the exemption have changed. A first time home buyer can now qualify for a full exemption with a purchase price of less than $425,000.00 (previously $375,000.00).

A partial exemption is available if the purchase price is more than $425,000.00 but less than $450,000.00.

Also, there is no longer a requirement to finance at least 70% of the purchase price or a restriction on making lump sum payments during the first year.
