- 11/15/12 03:56 AM
As a Realtor, I am often asked to help clients with the sale of property when a member of their family has passed on. Dealing with the death of a loved one is hard enough… but dealing with all of the legal, financial, and property matters on behalf of that person adds a level of stress that can only be fully understood by those who have gone through this difficult time. The subject of dying and what would happen if I or someone in my family died is something that I’ve avoided all my life. I remember my Mom trying to discuss matters … (12 comments)

- 12/30/09 10:36 AM
Why would I hire a Realtor? That's the question I asked myself back when I was seriously considering doing a "Fix & Flip" before I became a Realtor. I had the perfect little home in a great location near downtown Calgary picked out. I had been watching it for weeks. It had been rented out, and was in terrible shape... Perfect! I had everything planned. Landscaping, I planned to build a new fence, a new garage, plant a new hedge. I new exactly what the existing kitchen looked like, and how I would go about renovating it. Take down the 70's … (6 comments)
