Sidewalk Citizen Bakery
A self-taught baker selling bread via bike delivery, Aviv Fried, has become a bit of sourdough celebrity here in Calgary. He’s part of what makes this city great, not just because his bread is off the hook (I dare you not to buy the cheese sticks/scones/croissants/cakes/squares/ALL THE BAKED GOODS!), but because he’s become a leader, a champion, a heartfelt contributor ...
I met a new client last week. He's a smart guy. He has a good job. He has a university education. He's also young and never bought a home before.
He's been looking for a home for over a year without a Realtor. He's even made a few offers.
I gulped. He's so lucky he didn't make a massive mistake.
All week I've been wracking my brain to figure out when you shouldn't ...
You and your partner will argue while buying a home.
Every couple does, you're not unique.
People process large decisions differently. Your relationship probably works because you and your partner have different points of view. You balance each other out.
You also drive each other bonkers.
Let's talk about how to stay together, maybe even love each other more, while you buy a ...
These videos are amazing!
Yes, they're hilarious. There's also a lot of good information.
Buying a home is a complicated process. It's also fun. Let Elizabeth Banks break it down for you.
You don't have to take notes. Just watch.

Every day in the life of a REALTOR® is unique.

Heat savings over hardwood: Survey reveals shift in home buyers’ desires
The Canadian dream home has a new laundry list of “must haves”
Utility bills can cost a homeowner even more when they go to sell their property according to the CENTURY 21® Canadian Home Critics Survey. In the results, which expose purchasers' motivations and turn offs, Canadians overwhelmingly report ...
My good friend Kent has been talking about buying his first house for a while. His parents Lorne and Sandi Zentner were in town last week checking on the city wing of their family business, Silver Sage Beef. It only took a few nights of Sandi sharing her son’s bed and Lorne on an air mattress in the living room of Kent's tiny apartment for them to tell my wife (on her weekly visit to pick up ...
I have a love/hate relationship with statistics. I’ve always believed that statistics provide necessary insight, but they never uncover the entire picture. Making a choice based purely on statistics is a never a good idea.
If you don't care much about basketball, you'll probably want to skip to the end.
If you love basketball as much as I do, feel free to comment.

Are you thinking of moving this spring? "Spring" seems to be the most popular time of year for people to put their homes on the market. Everyone always seems to be "waiting for spring"!
Whatever the time of year, the most important thing any home seller can ever do is TIDY UP. In most cases, significant, or even insignificant, renovations aren't really necessary. And by "not necessary", ...
During the infamous 'boom' years of 2006-2007 I discovered that, instead of putting my newly acquired kinesiology degree to use, I could make twice as much money doing easy temp work for oil companies.
The first company that hired me was a small office, only about 15 employees; all them dynamic and knowledgable, all of them raking in big time money. The Vice President, Dean, took ...
Hello to all, and welcome to the spring market, which, as most of you know, is the most active time of the year for real estate!
With +3 degrees today, and -20 degrees last week, some may debate that spring has actually arrived, but from the perspective of the real estate market, spring has been here since early January!
The Calgary market is active to say the least. ...
Ah the benefits of living in a close Community!
Recently I was reminded of how wonderful living in a community that is connected can be. You see, my father recently suffered the tragic loss of sight. The impact of this has been immense, but so too has been the out-pouring of care and concern from their neighbours.
Do you remember the TV show The Simpsons, and the friendly do-gooder ...
realtor.ca is fat and slow. I know it sounds mean but it's true. I not saying you guys shouldn't hang out, you just need to know the truth before you two get close.
I got a call from a friend at noon on Tuesday. He was just browsing on realtor.ca; a newly renovated condo in a perfect location had just popped up. It had been on the market for two days - two fatally long days.
I booked ...
With the destruction and devastion that has occured in Calgary we will slowly start to rebuild.
If you're in the effected areas that were flooded please ensure that you find bonded and professional companies to do your repairs. There will now be some "fly by night" companies that will now start up to do repairs. If the company isn't available short term that is a good thing as that means ...
