In Flanders Field-By John McCrae

Posted under Other Stuff, Seasonal

poppy1In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Should I Get A Home Inspection

Edmonton Real Estate – Property Values

Posted under Just Say Hmmmmm!?, Other Stuff

In todays tough, yet ever changing, economic times everyone is unsure of what corner to turn to determine what the value of their Alberta Real Estate investments. My clients often ask me how exactly they can determine the value of  thier properties. I as a seasoned Edmonton Real Estate Agent respond by asking them what they need to know  the value for.

  • If it is to list and sell we must look carefully at the comparables and the condition of the property. In a sale situation though the value ultimately comes down to what a seller will take for it and what a buyer is willing to pay, when both parties agree we have a value.
  • If it is to refinance then the value is based on what the bank is willing to say it is worth. (This may be done with or with out an appraiser…banks discretion).
  • Is it for your tax assesment.

I recieved an email from a client/friend that I thought explained this age old question very clearly. I did try to trace back the origional source of the email to get thier permission to publish but was unsuccesful. So, as you go through this information please understand that the origional Creator/Author is unknown.  Though they did ask that people continue to share this information by forwarding the email onto others that you know.

Edmonton Real Estate – What Do You Expect From Your Real Estate Agent?

Posted under Alberta Realtors, Other Stuff, Tips for Buyers, Tips for Sellers

Ok Before you start reading this some of you may decide that I am venting? And I may even have to admit to it (a bit).

I service the Edmonton Real Estate Market along with the surrounding area’s. I was originally licensed as an Alberta Real Estate Agent in 1989 and believe that I have worked very hard to build a business based on loyalty and working very hard for my clients. I give them my word and my loyalty. And, I definitely work very hard to achieve and surpass my clients goals whether they are buying or selling! I demand the same of anyone working with me.

 

My first job (when I was a teenager) was at McDonalds, my second was on my father’s construction sites…I was taught to work hard and I was raised to care. I enjoy my work. I do hope that my clients see this when working with myself and the remainder of  the Property Fusion Real Estate Team.

 

So, I am flabbergasted by the behaviour of some of my colleagues. And, I am astonished that clients would accept this level of service! But, maybe I am wrong? You tell me what level of service a buyer should expect when they are working with a Real Estate Agent.  Read the rest of this entry »

Counting Our Blessings!

Posted under Other Stuff, Seasonal

As we get ready to close one year and enter the next, it is no small thing to us that we are blessed beyond measure because we have people like you in our lives.

Sometimes what starts as a business relationship opens a window to people you will know and cherish for the rest of your life. There is an easy give and take—an understanding that whatever you need, whenever you need it, there is a friend right there ready to help.

We are blessed to know you and to have the opportunity to do what we do. Helping people find their dream home and create a financial foundation is an incredible feeling.

Thank you for all that you do and all that you are. From our homes to yours,  we wish you the happiest of holidays!
