I just finished uploading this House, 4260 W 10th Ave, Vancouver BC

It is wonderful to find a home that preserves the original character of the period while incorporating some modern updates. The very rare hand-steamed cedar shake roof helps to make the street appeal of this home second to none. A classic front foyer and cross-hall dining room/living room with wood burning fireplace are ideal for entertaining. Stained glass, french doors, rounded archways and extensively detailed inlaid hardwood floors are just a few of the many highlights. Upstairs you will find three spacious bedrooms and downstairs has a fully renovated two bedroom mortgage.

A Home's Most Valuable Item

Since we are expecting our second child this January 11th (a boy), I've found myself reflecting on our first child and how much has changed in the two and a half years that we have had her.

To be honest, I don't think anything is ever the same again once you have your child.  I am aware that I was told hundreds of times that this would be so but, until you experience it, you just don't believe it, do you?

Case in point, if you haven't figured it out, I'm a realtor.  I'm a fairly busy realtor.  As busy as I want to be, anyhow.  But before Capri came along, we had just purchased our first home.  From previous posts you might

Your Karma/ My Dogma

YOUR KARMA RAN OVER MY DOGMA

I couldn't resist that 'subject' heading. One of my favourite bumper stickers of all time. Anyhow, this story should remind everyone of the simple fact that what comes around, goes around. You reap what you sow. Good things happen to good people and vica versa. O.k., here goes. I had a co-listing with another realtor in my office of a rather large, new home. It was even a total fluke that I got the house to list in the first place.  I just happened to leave the area where our Monday morning meeting was taking place and I bumped into a developer who had just strolled into the building.  I said, 'can I help you' and

Rain, Man!

I'll never forget this day for as long as I live. I had been practising real estate for approximately 9 months. It was one of those days. I mean, really, really, one of those days. I had bought my clients lunch for probably the 8th Saturday in a row. I hadn't had a sale in months and I was debating my future as a real estate superstar in a big way. None of my 'Get Rich In Real Estate' courses had ever told me about this kind of a day, I can tell you that. As I was driving home, I wallowed in pity as deep as the puddles by the side of the curb. The water was pouring down both my windshield and my cheeks. I had had about all I could take. Suddenly, a loud pop shattered

Think Pink Palace

I am forever amazed at how many people always tell me they would love to go into some of the more expensive ($1,000,000.00 plus) homes and have a look. First of all, a million bucks ain't what it used to be, especially in a city like Vancouver, we'll have to increase the price to, let's say, $2 million.  Secondly, like any career, I can tell you that it gets awfully boring after a while, the long hallways, the thousands of stairs, always trying to fit paintings in my jacket the whole time.  Honestly, it's often no different than working at a pizza parlour and eating pizza.  The thrill is sometimes not what it used to be though I have to admit that
