real estate agent: A bump on the head, a stubbed toe, …. and a new pair of shoes!

Yesterday I had one of those days. You know the ones where everything goes a little haywire. It started out that way just after I got out of bed. I usually hit the ground running during the weekdays, off to the office, bury my head in paperwork, meet with my partner, Bill, show a few houses, but yesterday was different. Perhaps karma kicking in like My Name is Earl, telling me to slow down or something. I was getting the paperwork together so I could bring my tax return to my accountant (yes the Tax-man Cometh to Canada too). I had … (12 comments)
real estate agent: Touchy Feely or Arms Length?

No matter how urgent the need for housing, if the weather … (9 comments)
real estate agent: I Am Canadian, eh...

After the last blast of snow I had some time to check out the Canadian contingent on the Active Rain site. Looks like a good percentage of us post and comment frequently so how about a blog for us folks. It appears that a lot of Realtors in the States have groups that band together nicely, like the New England Association of Realtors, and the North Carolina Association of Realtors, both groups a fun bunch by the way. My partner, Bill and I attend some of the National Association of Realtors Conferences south of the border and their associations are tight … (35 comments)
