It's finally out! The brand new REALTOR.ca app for iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile. I've been playing with it a bit today and it's a pretty slick program. I actually like it better than the traditional website - quick and easy interface. On the main page you can look for properties near where you are, new listings near where you are and even open houses near where you are (open ho ...
Yesterday I received a call from my wife's grandfather. He was pretty distraught and a little confused. He wanted to know how to wire $3500 to Toronto because his granddaughter (not my wife - the other one) was in a car accident. At this point I was a little confused myself because I was sure my sister-in-law was not in Toronto but rather here in good 'ol Chilliwack. All he knew was she ...
No I did not buy my wife a vacuum for Christmas - I prefer NOT to have my manhood fed to me through a straw this holiday season. However the Hislop family was in dire need of a new floor cleaning apparatus, thus the purchase.

They have time ...

What a great restaurant to have in our community. The re-design of the property from what used to be there is nothing short of spectacular. Talking with the General Manager Rocky Nenka, they ...
I wanted to chat a little about a great business I use all the time. Just my Style is a little store on Vedder Rd. just past Keith Wilson across from the old army base. All my client gift baskets come from these ladies - they do an awesome job every time. They also have a lot of home decor items. One side is more country - the other more dark woods and earth tones. Pretty much if you h ...
Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade - November was a pretty crappy month for real estate in Chilliwack if you were a home seller. Home sales were down 37% from this same month last year, which in reality is pretty normal because the last half of 2009 was really strong. However, seasonally adjusted Chilliwack was only down by 11%, which ended 3 months of consecutive increased sales. ...
