Apple Self Storage is pleased to announce that David Allan has purchased a 25% ownership stake in the company and has assumed the role of Vice President of Development.

AURORA, Ontario (PRWEB) April 05, 2018

David Allan, the son of founder Phil Allan and nephew of founders Jeff and Scott Allan, is thrilled to have the opportunity to be the second generation of Allan's in the business. He looks forward to continuing to build on the company’s excellent reputation as the best managed self storage facilities in Canada and continue to grow the company’s footprint.

After David graduated from Western University in 2006 with degrees in psychology and philosophy, he pursued a career in sales at Xerox. Following several years of success, David left to try his hand at entrepreneurship and started a series of small businesses in the insurance service and catastrophic loss reduction industry. In 2012, he joined Apple Self Storage in a business development role where he was directly responsible for growing the portfolio from 13 facilities to 31 owned and managed facilities in only 4 years.

“Apple Self Storage is a company where family matters” says David Allan. "It’s a company where we all feel like family and it’s that attitude that has helped us attract and retain some of the best employees in all of self storage. I’m thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to become a partner in what I consider to be the best self storage company in Canada.”

Apple Self Storage plans to continue a controlled growth pattern as well as focusing on developing its already strong third party management business. “Apple Self Storage is probably the best self storage manager in Canada right now. We provide high value to owners who see the benefit of long term ownership in their properties. We’re pretty happy to be able to have David join us for the long haul and continue to add value to what we’re doing,” says David’s father Phil. “David cares about what he does and he’s going to be a great asset for making sure this company stays strong for the coming decades. It’s really exciting stuff”. Third Party Management continues to generate attention and popularity in Canada as the value of professional management continues to be recognized by owners and lenders alike.

RE/MAX Realtor Bobbi Boldon Educates Homeowners on Denver Metro Market

Denver Realtor Bobbi Boldon, of RE/MAX Professionals, illustrates the top four phases regarding the current state of the Mile High City real estate market.

DENVER (PRWEB) April 06, 2018

“The market can’t sustain these prices.” “Prices have to come down, I’m going to wait.” “I can’t sell my house now, the replacement will be too expensive.” Real Estate Agents hear these concerns all the time.

“The interesting thing about being in the real estate business for 40 years, however, is that the numbers always change, but the words never do,” said Bobbi Boldon, broker associate at RE/MAX Professionals. These are the same concerns people have voiced when the average price of a home was $60,000.

To educate homeowners about the current state of the Denver metro real estate market, Boldon, who is also an author and national speaker in the sales and real estate field, examines the following four phases:

Phase 1: Recovery. Currently, there is declining vacancy and little new construction. Buyers are anxious to buy again, but builder’s don’t have sufficient workers or lots to build on. “From the time the real estate developer buys the land, gets it through the planning commission, plans it, installs water and sewer and finds a buyer, it takes from three to seven years,” noted Boldon. “Consequently, as the market begins to heat up, builders can’t keep up.”

Phase 2: Expansion. There is not sufficient inventory or new construction in the Denver metro market today. “Statistics say that Denver is bringing in about 50,000 people a year, but we are only building about 20,000 houses,” added Boldon. “The prices are rising as a result of supply and demand. We are expected to continue to bring jobs to the area, which brings more people, which in turn tightens the real estate market even more. Prices will continue to go up for now and are expected to continue for the next 8 to 10 years.

Phase 3: Hypersupply. When there is too much inventory for the demand, prices go down. “At some point the builders will overbuild, and the market loses steam,” noted Boldon. “People begin to sell, but buyers are reluctant to buy. Buyers often won’t buy because they will wait for prices to go lower.”

Phase 4: Recession. The economy changes, people begin to lose jobs, interest rates rise substantially, buyers stop buying and foreclosures reduce prices even further. The catalyst for the downturn is usually the economy. People don’t buy when they are worried about losing a job. High interest rates and the subprime loans of the past were reasons for the last downturn in the market. Today, those loans are out, people have to have an actual job and the ability to pay the mortgage. Interest rates are at an almost unheard of low.

“We are in the expansion phase now, Phase 1. It is predicted to stay that way for about 9 or 10 more years. This is the time to make your move before the prices get even higher. It would be foolish to lose the next decade of price increases and lose money on rent,” concluded Boldon. “However, it’s like flying an airplane in the dark over the ocean in a storm – best if the pilot is experienced. Find someone that can ensure you don’t lose the house you want or overpay. Getting a good deal is still possible, but it takes work. To sell in this market is not hard to to, getting it right so that you find a replacement without becoming homeless is where experience comes in.”

PreveCeutical Medical Inc (CSE:PREV, OTCQB:PRVCF) is set to raise up to C$4mln for its research and development (R&D) programs and for general working capital.
