First day on the blog

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Bamber Realty LTD.

Hello and Welcome to my Calgary real estate blog!  I decided to write a Calgary real estate related blog after following a excellent Calgary housing blog for many months "The Calgarian Contrarian".  In 10 years of being a Realtor I had never seen a website or blog that posted such pertinent information on the Calgary market.  The Contrarian wasn't hosted by a Realtor but the content was rich and very informative. He obviously followed the market closely and was able to convey accurate information to the public in a timely manner. After enjoying his blog for many months the author decide to discontinue writing due to a new addition in his family....  a baby girl.  There is no better reason to retire from the blogging world in my opinion.  Congrats Contrarian!! 

 My goal for this blog is somewhat similar to the Calgarian Contrarian's.  The blog along with my website http://www.nevinvannest.com/  (The Calgary Real Esate Resource Website) is to convey to the public true and accurate information on the Calgary real estate market prices and trends.  Over the coming weeks there will be many additions posted to the blog and website.  Don't hold back, if you have any questions, comments or suggestion on topics or information you would like to see posted, feel free to let me know.   After all... this blog is here for everyone to enjoy, experience and gain from. I look forward to seeing everyone's posts in the near future.

 

Thank you,

Hello Nevin,  catchy title.

I'm inviting you to join an active|rain group of your fellow Canadian REALTORS® , the Canada, eh group - http://activerain.com/groups/Canada.

And please include any of your posts with a Canadian angle by also posting them to the group.
(no properties for sale please, listings should be posted to Localism.com)

When I login to ActiveRain.com I always check the Canada, eh group first to read the Canadian posts because Canadian bloggers are so much easier to find on the group home page. I'm looking forward to reading your posts there.

Also, one of our Canadian members wrote an informative post on how to get started her on active|rain - http://activerain.com/blogsview/174164/A-Post-For-Tim 

And if you decide to join the Canadians - Welcome!

Larry, group founder and moderator
