Speechless Sunday - retro ambulance in Vancouver BCAlong with the nostalgia theme of my last post, how about this charmer of an old ambulance?  Was it on display or was it ready to jump into action on Canada Day?  I wonder if there are seat belts?Thanks for reading my Maui blog...Buying or selling real estate on Maui?  That's what I do.  Let me help YOU.Georgie Hunter R(S) e-Pro, Hawai'i Life Real Estate Brokers127 Hana Hwy. #G, Paia HI 96779E-mail or call/text: 808 283-0635

Now you see it, now you don't - hiding in plain sight.  I love how this "box" was camouflaged into the surroundings so it wouldn't have to look ugly.  Taken in Vancouver BC, which is a big city that knows how to put its best face forward.  Every season brings out beautiful colors and textures, and the changing landscape is wonderful to behold.  People in this city really love to garden and they take pride in the surroundings.  Maybe we could all learn something from a simple act such as this.Thanks for reading my Maui blog...Buying or selling real estate on Maui?  That's what I do.  Let me help YOU.Georgie Hunter R(S) e-Pro, Hawai'i Life Real Estate Brokers127 Hana Hwy. #G, Paia HI 96779E-mail or call/text: 808 283-0635

I Received a Referral from LA- Thanks to Active Rain! What would you do if you received a phone call from the Real Estate Staging Association's Stager of the Year, asking if you could help out one of her family members?   Well, I'll tell you what I did.  I nearly plum well fainted! "Hello Sally, this is Annie Pinsker-Brown calling". "Sally?  Sally?...are you there?". "Oh, hi, Annie", I replied weakly (remember, I'd just fainted)!  Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating just a teensy weensy little bit, but you get the idea. Turns out Annie had a family member living in British Columbia, who wanted to sell her downtown Vancouver property, and Annie thought of me.  I first "met" Annie online, here at Active Rain.  I love the work she posts here, and can relate to her west coast style.  Eventually, I m...

What a great weekend we just had - beautiful weather - a bike ride with my dad - and to top it off, a great building inspection that resulted in a firmed up sale! Congratulations to my very happy buyers! You guys are gonna love it!! The West End was good to me this weekend, that's for sure!! For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of visiting Vancouver (yet!) - let me tell you about our West End. Located on the downtown pinisula, it's bordered by our downtown area on one side, Stanley Park on the other, and surrounded by water on the other sides. I love it here! It's filled with low rise buildings (many that are 100+ years old), big trees, and a feeling of calm that one doesn't usually find in a big city. The West End is a short walk to Robson Street (GREAT SHOPPING) - Davie Stree...

Fifteen years ago i received a phone call from an owner of a condo West of Denman inquiring about the value. Although I have talked to him many times on the phone and more recently by email, we had not met until last Fall and when he emailed me a couple of days ago to meet again I guessed he was ready to sell his condo. It's a bright and spacious 733sf l bedroom & den s.w. corner with insuite laundry and gas fireplace. Rentals permitted, 1 pet ok, and second one with permission.  Engineered walnut floors. Features 2 balconies, s/s appliances, tiled entrance and backsplash. Parking and locker. Nothing to do but come home to your new Stanley Park condo.  Original owner. Chilco park is a very well managed strata building. $438,000 read the rest of this post
