realtor: Wills and Power of Attorney; Stan Gelman
- 02/23/10 06:25 AM
One of my favorite people and I shared lunch today and the topic came around to procrastination. Stan told me about a presentation that he had done recently in the condo building where he resides. A few of the local residents had asked him to prepare a few words about wills, estates, probate and Power of Attorney. Our conversation focused on the fact that so many people put these issues off until it is left in someone else's bailiwick to deal with. One should have Powers of Attorney and a Will so that you can have your assets and health care … (0 comments)

realtor: Buy the Civic Center in Etobicoke?
- 01/29/10 11:26 PM
It was my pleasure to interview the past Mayor of Etobicoke, currently sitting Toronto Councillor Doug Holyday. This distinguished gentleman has served a long term in the public sector. In attending the offices at the Etobicoke Civic Center, my consideration was what a fabulous location on and off the highway that would better serve as high rise high density mixed use being a combination of retail commercial with residential above. [Hard not to be a realtor] This became one of our conversational points. If the City moved its west offices to one of the subway hubs, either Kipling or Islington, and … (2 comments)

- 01/25/10 07:37 AM
So everyone wants to give you a free market evaluation. You found an online evaluation site that you clicked. You completed the sign in data on a "squeeze Page" and expected something to arrive in your email inbox of your home's value.

They are selling your name and your phone phone number to the highest bidder. This has no bearing on the skill or experience of the person who will return … (0 comments)

Welcome to the Toronto Real Estate Boards stats for mid January 2k10. We have entered into a very unusual market. We are starting this year firmly as a seller’s market. With an absorption rate in excess of 50%, on a monthly basis, multiple offers will continue on the most demanded products namely starter entry level homes and smaller condos. The real story continues to be the reduced number of homes for sale coupled with a continued demand from nervous buyers looking for that first great starter home. Currently there are 11K homes for sale. That inventory level is thousands of units … (0 comments)

realtor: Naughty words in Ads and Banned Advertisers
- 12/01/09 11:28 PM
This caught my eye recently about a Realtor's plight in being banned from a number of local publications and boards for his "creative and descriptive" use of the English language.
Jules Bending of the Real Ralph Bending, an estate agent in Glastonbury, has been banned from advertising in a local paper and taken down from property websites Rightmove and Primelocation.comfor an unconventional approach to marketing properties.
