iPhone 2G

Being a tech junkie, I have had a few phones over the years. I was one of the first Canadians to have an iPhone 2G, the original version. I unlocked it myself and used it on Fido. At that time the data rates in Canada, to say the least, were exorbitant. I never could utilize […]

Things I love about Windows on a Mac

Even the staunchest Mac fanatic will agree that Windows PCs are just better at certain things. Some are by design, for example Microsoft not releasing products for the Mac platform. Some are simply because such applications are not targeted for Mac users.

Just starting in real estate?

Then head over to my favourite Internet hangout - REW Forums and more specifically to this response to a post by an agent just starting out. This is the best advise for anyone starting out in this field.

Follow up to single listing/property sites

About two months ago I did a post on what I think to be the biggest sham some Realtors are pulling off when it comes to marketing their listings on the Internet - single property sites. Here is a link to that post:
Your house has it’s own web site fluff?

Blog being neglected

I realize that it has been a while since I have posted to this blog. It wasn’t due to a lack of effort, but rather due to time constraints. As the Fraser Valley real estate market heats up, I find that I don’t have as much time in my day.
