Internet Killed The Real Estate Star - 10:55 PM
Is the Internet, IDX and Syndication a help or a hassle?
You put your listings in the MLS and every agent has "easy" access to all the listing details. The MLS also has a public site that allows consumers to search for and get much of the information that in prior years consumers had to rely on you for.
You Opt-In for IDX and allow your listings to be displayed on other Brokerages sites in exchange for having their listings on your site. Now they all have to say "Courtesy of..." on them but that information tends to be buried as … (0 comments)

Inspecting older homes can be like stepping into a time machine. This I find to be especially true when it's a one owner home. How about this for longevity of ownership, eighty (that's eight zero) years. That's the story I was told during a recent inspection.
Often when a home has been owned for a very long time by one owner I will find curiosities from years ago during the course of the inspection. I found an oddity recently that I would not have expected to find in a home, a trash incinerator.
This was not just a trash incinerator; this … (16 comments)

Finding the Perfect Home in Regina Can be Magical - 07:53 AM
As a real estate agent, I really enjoy helping others find the perfect home. It's so exciting when I'm showing a home and the new buyer "sees" their new home for the 1st time. It's a contagiously good feeling when they see something in a certain home that lights up their eyes or makes them do the double take. The chemistry between Regina residents and their homes can be magical. 
To me, selling Regina real estate is so much more than just earning a living from selling homes. I get a real satisfaction out of the whole process. For me, there's … (0 comments)
