In Defense of Buyer Agency

My business is heavily buyer focussed.  This was not by design but rather a result of where I stand in my career.  When I started in real estate I was new to the city and did not know very many people.  Some may think being new to a city would be a difficult obstacle to […]

Listing Volume Continues Up

But not enough to really matter, it seems. The Board is so busy that they’re working overtime putting in numbers today so I haven’t updated the weekly stats but a thought occurred to me as another stat to look at.
Everywhere you drive it seems there’s another for sale sign or direction arrow and that […]

Northwest Route Chosen for Evergreen Line

The very sensitive and controversial decision on which route to take for the new Evergreen Line connecting Lougheed Town Centre with Coquitlam Centre has been made.  It was a close battle between the Northwest route down Clarke through Port Moody and the Southeast route along Lougheed up past Riverview.  In the end the Northwest route […]

A Walk through Gastown
