Real Estate Agent - Royal LePage Foothills
As a Realtor, I blog about the Calgary real estate market, focusing on condos, communities, relocations, MLS listings and specific condominium buildings such as the Xenex on 12th, the Emerald Stone, Residences of Mount Royal, The Sasso, Luna, Vantage Pointe and the Newbury.
