A December to Remember
I don’t post a lot of personal stuff on our blog, or even very much daily business stuff, but we have had a lot going on over the past few months that I think we should share. Every year around December Sara and I spend a good deal of time on business planning. We look at the [...]
Live Blog: I love #yegdt (downtown Edmonton)
Actually today is a rare event where I’m tweeting (@edmontonsheldon) more than blogging! It’s not just about density it’s about how you do it says Ken Greenberg who kicked of the the conference today with a dynamic speech encouraging vision and partnerships. He shared his perceptions about stadium projects and that they can only be successful if the wealth is [...]
I love Yegdt: downtown x-posed
I frequently get asked what’s happening downtown, especially with the ARENA buzz. What will prices do? What areas will be most affected? I get asked this at industry functions outside of Edmonton on a regular basis as well. I get these questions at the Y in the change room, at Yoga, at Starbucks and so on. This level of buzz [...]

The Southwest Edmonton Farmers’ Market is [...]
Video Killed the Photo Star
Two years ago we blogged about doing wide angle, HD videos for our listings. Like the song “Video killed the radio star,” video is in the process of murdering the photo virtual tour in real estate. At a recent conference we attended a Senior Executive with Google indicated that You Tube is currently the second or third most popular search [...]
The Buzz Around Sustainability
In the 20 plus years I have been in real estate I have seen various buzz words come and go. VTB’s (Vendor Take Back Mortgage), energy efficient, R2000 (an energy efficiency rating), green and many more, and now the latest belle to the ball is “sustainable.”
If you listen closely you can hear it in the ads of some of the newer [...]
Pumped Up!
I just finished at The Bounce morning show with Ian and Liann. They had me on for an “ask the expert” segment on real estate. It was great. I got to dance while talking real estate – two of my favourite things (I’m much better at one then I am the other).
I really enjoyed watching radio magic [...]
Ice Flow in Edmonton’s River Valley
I was out for a bike ride yesterday and was mesmerized by the ice chunks flowing down the North Saskatchewan River. I shot this video on my iphone from the pedestrian bridge under the Anthony Henday near Cameron Heights. The pillars holding up the bridge sure take a beating!
