Light The Bridge
by Sara MacLennan on 14. May, 2013 in Around Edmonton
I absolutely love the idea of lighting up the High Level bridge. I am certain there are some who will disagree with me, but I love that this is going to be paid for by donations not tax dollars. There are some big corporate sponsors like ATB and EPCOR, but if this project is going to go ahead, most of [...]

Property Tax Adjustments
by Stan Galbraith on 25. Apr, 2013 in Real Estate Law, Tips for Home Buyers, Tips for Home Owners
Property tax adjustments are one of the least understood aspects of the typical real estate closing. Clients ask questions such as: “What do you mean I have to pay property taxes? They are included as part of my mortgage payment.” or “How come I am paying any taxes as they are not due until June 30?” or ”You [...]

Client Testimonial for Mira Wannous
“After a great experience buying my house through Mira, I also hired her to sell my house. She is incredibly warm, friendly, honest and professional. While strong in her wise opinions, she has always been entirely respectful of my wishes as client.
I received numerous offers on my house within the first 48 hours of it going on the market. Despite the fact that I was out of the country at that time, which certainly added to the challenge of our communicating clearly and quickly, Mira was immediately responsive to all my choices and decisions; she handled a very awkward situation with incredible grace and professionalism.
If ever buying or selling again in Edmonton (or wherever she is), I would never consider any agent other than Mira.”

Client Testimonial for Nathan Mol
“Nathan worked with us to purchase a house near University area. I contacted him through Liv Real website and then he showed me about 40 houses before we made the decision to buy one.
He was very knowledgable in housing style, structure and value evaluation. One time we mentioned a potential plumbing problem even before we noticed that for a house. He would no hesitate to give honest suggestions on the quality and the value of the house. In terms of price negotiation, he helped us to get the price which was stated as firm lower down by a large amount.
Nathan was professional and personally very polite and considerate. We would strongly recommend him and contact him again if we are going to buy/sell our house.”

Client Testimonial for Travis Dochuk
“If you are buying a property use Travis Dochuk. He is a great guy, and easy to work with. Lots of other brokers in Edmonton are always in a rush, Travis will make sure that every question is answered, and not talk something up. This was very helpful, because I just bought my first house, and Travis made sure we got a good buy in a great area. The whole process was stress free. I do not know what else to say, I think it is very clear. Use Travis Dochuk. Other then that have a good day.
Joe”

Client Testimonial for Tracy Vipond
“Tracy understood my needs and the time pressure associated with the purchase of my new home. She took time out of her personal life to assist and guide me through the purchase and advised me professionally of all critical aspects of the purchase. Additionally because of my work schedule (out of town often) she offered her time to participate on my home inspection when I couldn't be there.
Tracy's understanding and working relationships with the other various businesses within our community that are involved with purchasing/selling a home definitely worked to my advantage. The bank, law group, mortgage broker and home inspector were all recommended by Tracy and I couldn't have had a better experience with all those parties.
Tracy is sincere, hardworking and understands the client's needs. Highly recommended. ”
