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 Sheldon Johnston
“I have recently purchased a commercial condominium through Sheldon Johnston of Liv Real Estate. As this was a new development, there were some challenges with the closing of this property. Sheldon worked closely with me to ensure I understood all the challenges and help navigate through them.
In the end, the purchase closed as expected and without delay. Thank you Sheldon (and Team) for your professionalism, communication and prompt response.
I look forward to working with you again soon.”

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. ”

Good point Sarah. I find it amusing that so many people don’t know what to do with their time with no hockey. I don’t watch it, never have and don’t give a damn if they ever play again.
All hockey fans should do themselves a favor and read a book our learn something for a change.
Nothing against sports in general but a season of watching large men chase a frozen piece if rubber around really is a travesty of time wasted.
It might be something to kill time but it in no way makes you a better person.
Let the daggers fly! Not many like me in Edmonton but I am blessed with a few like minded friends!
I’m not much of a hockey fan but I’ll bite. Reading books doesn’t make someone a better person either. Hockey provides stories along with strategy and excitement just like a book. Television often gets looked down from book readers but I think there’s good television just like good books. Also television is more easily shared with a group.
Hockey gives people a commonality which can be used to get to know people and ease into conversations. It’s something that can be done alone but is far more fun with a group of people.
When you look back on life will you wish you had read more books or spent more time with friends?
But commenting on an internet blog is a much better use of time…
Yea Karl, sharing ideas through technology is another way of learning as far as I am concerned.
The reading a book comment was a jab I admit. Sure, share time with friends, learn something be it through the net, a book, or trying something new…maybe pay some attention to your wife before she starts to hate you. Discuss and debate ideas on the economy on a blog, volunteer, exercise, or take something from Sarahs list…whatever it may be.
I am more speaking of people who are LOST without the NHL of course, not the enjoyer of the occasional game. You know the types…with their basement man caves painted the colors of their team? Is that you Karl?
Just kidding around is all.
Much better to spend one’s time reading and commenting on Real Estate blog sites
Very interesting post..Thanks for sharing it.
Great info! I need to make a visit
