Surrey Now Safer Than Vancouver

This morning I came across "The News Daily" and the cover story was what is below.  I am copying it from the cover and sharing the information onto you if you have not seen the article:
 
"You are more likely to be a victim of serious crime in Vancouver than you are in Surrey, according to new statistics that are supposed to provide a more accurate picture of criminal activity in Canadian cities.
  The results of the "Crime Severity Index" (CSI) generated from police reports by Statistics Canada represent a reversal from previous surveys that have shown Surrey with a higher crime rate than Vancouver every year since 2001.
   Under the new index, Vancouver has overall CSI of 156, slightly higher than the surrey figure of 153.
   The serious crime rate for Victoria was even higher at 200, about 20 per cent more than Surrey or Vancouver: New Westminster, nanaimo, Courtenay, Prince George, Mission and Terrace were also among the 21 B.C. communities with CSI rates higher than Surrey.
   Williams Lake had the worst serious crime rate index in B.C. at 324, more than double Surrey's.
  Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts hope the results will help to retire the city's unfortunate reputation as a crime hub, something she says is "at least 10 years out of date."
  At 121, the CSI average for all of B.C. is substantially above the Canadian average of 90."

  What a start to 2011
I was referred to the xtreme team by my mortgage broker. Having five kids at such an early age, we found it difficult to have time for anything else.  Khian made things easy and simple for us.  Not only did he find us our dream home, but he negotiated the very best price for us as our money for our family is most valued.  We'd like to send our sincerest thanks to the xtreme realtor team and congratulate them as professionals in guiding us through this very stressful period of our life.  This has been a dream come true and I have no problems endorsing your talents to my friends and family.

Sincerely,
Michael and Kristy
  Investors and Buyers alike!

As far back as we can remember, our family has invested in real estate. 2011 was the year that we decided it was time to get into the game ourselves! www.xtremrealtor.ca helped us find an investment property that fit our exact needs.  Not only did he negotiate a good price for us, but also set us up for success so that our investment actually earned a positive cashflow. All of our needs were taken care of and now we have a renter in our property making us money! We will not soon forget you!

  Time to move on

I absolutely love Khian! He was there for me in a time of my life that was very difficult. Not only had I experienced a death in the family, but I also needed to sell my home and move into something new. The xtreme team helped me keep things light and sold my home for top dollar! This is a very tough transition for anyone but for me it was extra difficult. We found my dream home and now I am in love! I am proud to say that Khian has become my friend as well as my number one realtor. It speaks volumes about his character and his values. Let's do coffee soon!

  Developers in need!

As a developer of high quality new homes, there is an immense amount of consideration when choosing a realtor. We choose Khian and the xtreme team and we were not disappointed.  He sold our product for top dollar getting us 98.8% of our list price.  Thanks for the coffee and doughnuts!
