• d. Send a five hundred (500) word (or more) essay to Parker Realty Ltd. describing why Parker Realty Ltd. is the best real estate agency in Prince Edward Island (the “Essay”) and send it, along with your first name, last name, email address, mailing address, telephone number and age (the “Essay Entry”). 

 
Email essay to inquiries@parkerrealty.pe.ca.

The withdrawal of a listing prior to the end of the Contest Entry Period shall result in the removal of the vendor’s ballot from the Contest.

An agreement to take a listing is at the sole discretion of Parker Realty Ltd.

There is a limit of one (1) Entry per property listing, property purchase or property number permitted, and a limit of one Essay Entry per household (civic address), during the Contest Entry Period. For greater certainty, persons purchasing or selling a property together will not receive one Entry each, but rather will receive one Entry between or among them. One Entry per listing and not per Property Identification Number (“PID”); therefore, if multiple PIDs are listed together as one listing for sale, the sale will result in one (1) Entry.
