What are they saying about DailyStats.ca? All these comments can be found on My Blog unless otherwise noted As a first time poster I just want to thank you Bob for an excellent blog and website. It's nice to have found a well-informed, balanced source of information about the Calgary RE market.
Just by running this blog you put yourself ahead of 99.99% of realtors in my books. it’s refreshing to hear a realtor advise his clients that now might not be the best time to buy(http://www.astonlau.com/) Guys like Truman, actually do a great job of informing people about various trends from a perspective that is very intimate with the trends in the housing market.(posted on the Alberta Bubble Blog, July 9, 2009) "I’m liking the abundance of interesting stats on the bobtruman website you linked."

You've given us a forum to vent, share, and make arm chair comments about everything that seems to be on ppl's minds these days. I appreciate the way you post the stats separate from the blog as it allows readers to draw their own conclusions and then read the commentary if they wish to do so. Very professional! Thanks! I read this blog religiously, every day, a couple times a day, and pass on the information to many of my friends, who now turn to me with questions about RE based on knowledge I have gained here. Bob especially, as well as the others on here that contribute on a regular basis, thanks for the effort. I need to hear the bad as much as the good, and that is why I come here. Easy, fast and accurate information, very important when trying to keep up with the Calgary real estate market. I want to thank Bob for the reliable information he continues to make accessible. It's become a part of my daily routine because currently it’s the only place to find accurate information on the state of Calgary's real estate market. This site tells it like it is. If I want to know exactly what's going on in the market, this is the place to look. Anyone that I've sent the website information to has become instantly addicted. Good work ! The information was once only available to Real Estate agents, but thanks to Bob, it is available to the general public. No serious real estate investor should make buying or selling decisions without consulting his site. Your site is refreshing; no spin here, but a snap shot of what really goes on in Calgary. Incredible info on here. Thanks for answering my questions. Bob...You sure are playing a HUGE part in the higher education of the next generation. I never thought about these things before finding your blog. Thanks Bob I'm very thankful that people like yourself have made the initiative to provide a forum for communicating about the current housing market. The stats on this site have proven invaluable to me and I greatly appreciate Bob's efforts. Thank you for helping me stay in touch with what's happening thousands of km's away from me. Your site is not only the best RE site in Calgary, but I haven't seen anything like it in Toronto either. according to BT's stat's which I like because their is no massaging of the stat's. What you see is what you get. (From the Alberta Bubble Blog)
Bob Truman, at First Place Realty, is one of the sole providers of real estate information and statistics in Calgary besides the CREB. I use a lot of Bob’s data in my graphs, so he deserves a big shout-out for making this information available to the public!(From the calgary Real Estate Market Blog)
A big thanks for all the stats. You take a lot flak from others because your point of view is not the same as theirs. If it was not for places such as your website, they would have no clue of what is going on in the market place. Again, a big thanks for your website, you go above and beyond.
How spoiled have I gotten in the past year- all that I had to do every morning is to open the “Bob Truman” bookmark with coffee and pajamas still on, and I would be set for the day (plus a quick read through the posts). It became a routine. From email: I just found your site and I have to say it is the best one. I think very few realtors will make that effort for their customer. You have my vote when I am ready to jump back into the market. Thank you VERY MUCH. I commend you on all the hard work you have done on both your blog and website to bring us the most up to date, valuable and truthful information without bias. I have followed the real estate market closely for several years now, and I greatly appreciate the service provided by realtors such as Bob (Truman) and Mike Fotiou. These are men of integrity and will have my business if or when we decide to buy into Calgary real estate. I don't know how many times I have been told by other realtors that "now is the time to buy", or that "it is a buyers market" or "real estate always go up" when that clearly is not (or was not) the case. Realtors really should be more careful that they do not insult the intelligence of their potential clients.
Thanks for giving us the best unbiased, truly honest, realtor website out there. No wonder your site is ranked in the tops in the world. Bob, thank you again for your service. I appreciate it more than words can say... Seriously, if there were more in your profession like you, our market, and our country, would be a much better place. |
