Bully offers are happening with increasing frequency.  Let&#8217;s examine why&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit it: I love this show.
Million Dollar Listing is on HGTV and I can&#8217;t get enough of it.
I don&#8217;t watch reality television, and in actual fact, I really only watch sports and news, unless a show is available on DVD.  But I&#8217;ll admit that after tearing this show apart on my blog last year, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s advocate and raised a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s me.  And that&#8217;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 &#8220;bet&#8221; that we had made on the blog in 2008.
And this explains what my blog is all about&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of being black-listed by developers in the real estate industry, I&#8217;m going to tell you what I think about the &#8220;special broker&#8217;s preview&#8221; that took place on Tuesday at Sync Condos.
It was a freaking joke, and I can&#8217;t believe I expected anything different&#8230;

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&#8217;m bringing my cheque book, my patience, and a lot of elbow grease&#8230;

Once every four years, we are treated to the greatest spectacle in all of sports: the Olympic Winter Games.

		<description><![CDATA[Everybody and their mothers are going to give you advice when you let it be known that you&#8217;re buying real estate.
So who do you listen to?
Call me naive, but my answer is obviously, &#8220;Just listen to your real estate agent.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[I recently completed a sale where the seller and his agent put forth a rather interesting strategy.
It wasn&#8217;t anything new; it was just new to the area and the type of property.
In the end, the result was so-so, as the seller did sell his condo, but not at the price he was looking for&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been asking this question for three years, and prices have continued to rise.
I feel like it&#8217;s a joke that everybody understands but me, and yet I continue to say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get it.&#8221;
Why does this building cost more than any other building in the area?
