canadian real estate: Active Rain Batters Realtor while sleeping... film at 11 - 11/04/10 10:59 AM
Let's take a trip into my slumbering thoughts. After all, every human accomplishment starts with a dream, an idea, or an exercise in creative pondering; a long gaze at what might make our lives more interesting, more comfortable, more exciting, more manageable, or more tolerable.
After a long day of not eating properly, I was tempted by a late night delight that included a rich dessert, whipped cream, and an espresso. Being the health conscious individual that I profess... I deliberated before eventually succumbing.
I logged on to the Active Rain Real Estate Network, thinking that I might start a new … (17 comments)

canadian real estate: Friggin... eh! listen up Americans!!!... a Canadian wants to set the record straight. - 08/27/10 03:04 PM
In 2009, while phone interviewing Realtors for a buyer referral to Florida, I was confronted with a most upsetting agent, and was hurt by the conversation. Sara (not her real name) had the nerve to say that my buyers (and Canadians as a whole) were opportunists and poaching property due to the US economic situation.

 Remaining informed in order to share the market conditions with my clients.
Today is filled with optimism for the future of our economy and the real estate market. Reading between the lines of the commentary, and interpreting the indicators that some analyst supply is daunting. This little announcement supplied by one of my partners, is straight to the point. We're all having to settle down and be patient with the recovery. We will see swells and dips for the next little while but the bottom line is a healthy future. Be prudent with your buying and selling decisions and rely … (5 comments)

canadian real estate: Why is Canadian market sounder than in the USA? - 07/22/10 03:02 AM
My heartfelt admiration for all my Real Estate associates in the United States. It's been a long, hard journey over the past few years, with numerous changes to how our business is conducted. What we; Canadian Realtors, have experienced were just rain showers compared to the hail storms that our friends and neighbours to the south have had to endure. Hat's off to you all...
