Pop the Question: Lisa Clement
CREB® Now took the time to chat with Lisa Clement, family services manager for Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta about the PEAK Home Ownership Program administered by Habitat. PEAK is aimed at helping hard-working, middle-income Calgarians who need a hand qualifying for a mortgage. As well as sharing some insights on Calgary's housing scene, Clement — who moved to Calgary 10 years ago from Ottawa — also shared her thoughts on Calgary's strengths and why the kitchen is her favourite room in the house.
