After my experience last week at a few new-condo launches, I immediately came back to my office and put on an impromptu real estate seminar for those of my colleagues who were (un)lucky enough to be present.
I ranted and raved, and they sat and listened.
And then one of them played devil’s advocate and raised a very interesting way of looking at things…
I live at 230 King Street.
My buyer-clients live at 230 King Street.
The condo we were offering on is at 230 King Street.
Last night was quite an adventure. And apparently there was a hockey game on?
No, not a townhouse.
An actual town!
Last month, an entire town in the former Soviet Union was sold via auction for over $3 Million US.
What the heck would you do with a whole TOWN?
Okay, so it’s a bad play on words. And the picture quality is terrible, but I thought it would be cool to film in the dark under a street lamp…
And as I sat in the dark in my car last night and filmed this video blog, I was completely in the dark as to whether or not my clients would prevail in their multiple offer situation.
There are tougher jobs in the world than being a real estate agent, but it’s not easy to sit around and wait to hear your clients’ fate…
For any first time buyer, the idea of renting out the basement for $800 per month to help pay the mortgage sounds like a fantastic idea!
But when you rent to that long-haul truck driver who won’t pay his rent and won’t leave, then you’re in trouble.
The one thing that buyers never consider: the legal ramifications of the basement apartment…
That’s me. And that’s a bottle of 1998 Dom Perignon.
One of my readers who uses the moniker DaveyTheJ dropped this bottle off at my office last week as payment for a “bet” that we had made on the blog in 2008.
And this explains what my blog is all about…
At the risk of being black-listed by developers in the real estate industry, I’m going to tell you what I think about the “special broker’s preview” that took place on Tuesday at Sync Condos.
It was a freaking joke, and I can’t believe I expected anything different…
Egad! This makes no sense!
This condo down the street from me has been “FOR LEASE” now for a total of three full months and the seller/landlord has yet to reduce the asking price. The condo is vacant and he is losing money.
Sense. This situation makes none…
Let’s try this again.
Remember when I wrote about my attempts to purchase a condo at 2 Gladstone in the Queen West area?
Well Streetcar Developments will be launching Sync Condos this week and I’m bringing my cheque book, my patience, and a lot of elbow grease…
For the next seventeen days, I will be working from my home office, aka my couch.
Once every four years, we are treated to the greatest spectacle in all of sports: the Olympic Winter Games.
I truly believe that the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver will help Canada gain more worldwide notoriety than it has ever had before…
