Random Thoughts for the Day: 1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer's history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you  realize you're wrong. 3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was  ...

We've all had those listings.  Cluttered, abandoned car in the driveway etc.  In times like these I use Photoshop to help clean up the pic before I publish it on my website.  My clients have always appreciated how great their homes look after a few minutes under the knife.  Now if you are wonderi...

  Does anyone have any case studies done about the benefit of a capital gains deferral in their town?    My government relations committee is looking for some examples to take to government and I'm just wondering if some other boards have done any work on this.  I know Victoria had done a case st...

  Ouch...I am still sore!  We had our 1st annual softball tourney with all the other real estate offices, the RCMP, and the Chilliwack Firefighters.  It was a great event to raise some money for charity, and spend some time with those who are involved in the city.  The RCMP team won the trophy, t...

  Is anyone else tired of all the Federal elections we are having in Canada?  The Liberals, even though the current polls are not in their favour, are wanting to push another election.  Jack Layton has so much crap coming out of his mouth I feel the need to grab him a handful of toilet paper ever...

  On July 1, 2010 British Columbia will be having to deal with the HST.  When reading this you may feel I'm totally against the HST, but I'm not.  However there needs to be some more concessions when it comes to Real Estate or there may be some poor consequences.  Below I will show how much of a ...
