Homes and Gardens Real Estate Limited Revenue and Competitors

In the early 1900s, my great-grandfather, Corwin Ray Tufford, moved from Toronto with his new bride, Mary, to settle in Edmonton. The family flourished in their new surroundings. Mr. Tufford became a councillor for the town and two of his daughters, Eleanore and Rosemary became star players for the Jasper Place Rustlers, a women's hockey team coached by Mr. Tufford. In 1998, in recognition of his contributions to the city as a councillor for Jasper Place and as the coach of the Rustlers, Tufford Way in Terwillegar Towne was named for the Late C.R. Tufford who passed away in 1952. The Tufford's youngest daughter, my great-aunt Eleanore, was born in 1915 and shared much of her father's drive and ambition. In March 1953, she incorporated Homes & Gardens Real Estate Limited and operated the company from the family home in Jasper Place. I began my real estate career in February 2002 and acquired Homes & Gardens Real Estate Limited in August 2003. Although I have waited several years, I am very proud to announce that Homes & Gardens Real Estate Limited is still a family business, still an Edmonton based company and once again available to meet all of your real estate needs. Eleanore was a successful businesswoman and always had great marketing ideas. Fifty years ago, Eleanore published the first edition of About Homes & Gardens, a magazine for her many customers. The magazine featured The People's Market Place, a listing of local businesses owned and operated by people Eleanore knew personally some still operate today. It is my pleasure to include a reproduction of About Homes & Gardens for your perusal. I hope you enjoy it. Though the meaning has changed over time, Eleanore's motto, We Enjoy Giving Service, still applies at Homes & Gardens Real Estate Limited and we appreciate your business and welcome your referrals.
