In 1920 Angus was organized as a police village. This took the management of local improvements from the Township Council and permitted the trustees to apply the funds to roadways and sidewalks as they saw fit. At the present time there is over a mile of concrete sidewalks in the village.

As you can see, real estate is a second career for me - and perhaps it is this added perspective that has shaped my attitude to be somewhat different. I try to operate less like the stereotypical salesperson and more like a business professional. My goal is to serve the needs of my clients in the best, most professional, and ethical manner possible. The only way that I "push" is by pushing myself to work harder and perform better. My clients tell me that I am never pushy or "salesy". I feel that this philosophy has paid off over the years - and the job is more fun to do as well!

Even other Real Estate agents value Hugh's experience and knowledge, such as the testimonial by John Price...."Over the 21 plus years that I have serviced the Kingston Military, there has always been one real estate agent in the Barrie region that has earn my highest respect for hard work and professional service to his Clients. If you are transferring the Barrie region, I urge you to call Hugh. You will be glad you did. Heck tell him John Price sent you."

Knowing the market is an important asset for any professional real estate agent and Hugh knows the Angus/Borden Real Estate market inside and out. While some agents have come and gone, changed brokers or changed careers, Hugh has been honing his skills and increasing his knowledge to be better able to service his clients needs.

Knowing the market is an important asset for any real estate agent and Hugh knows the Angus Real Estate market. While other agents have come and gone, changed companies or given up Hugh has been honing his skills and is able to use that knowledge to better your home selling experience.

Now in conclusion, let it be said that the writer shares the same thoughts of many people in the Village, that Angus is yet to see many prosperous years. And if the forces for good which have been commenced so recently are continued, this same little village which has such an interesting forestry background will continue to grow and prosper, and a new generation will see these same plains as their fathers once saw them, clothed with close growing trees, and knowing what the presence of such timber will mean to their community, be able to say in the words of Browning, "Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be."
