Radon Asbestos & DNA

Home owners are availing themselves of lab science due to factors such as increased awareness of Radon, the leading cause of lung Cancer in non-smoking Canadians, according to the Canadian Cancer Society. As well asbestos encountered during renovations from Drywall, Drywall mud, textured ceilings, heat duct tape, ceiling tiles and older square stick on floor tiles to name a few have home owners looking for cost effective solutions to avoid exposure. Add to that increased advances in DNA research which can be used to determine areas where a person may be predisposed to certain health conditions and through supervised protocols improve health, it is not a stretch to assume an increase in demand for these tests.

When is the Best Time of Year to List a Home for Sale on the Market?

I often get asked "when is the best time to list a property, should I wait until the Spring?" The answer beyond a pat, "it depends" is really, "the best time of the year to list your home is when you want to." I'll give you the pros and cons of doing it at different times of the year, namely Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer. I'll also cover the three aspects to listing a home that don't change no matter the time of year.

Listing in the Fall/Winter means there is less competition from other listings and the fewer buyers out there are motivated and ready for the most part. Of course it is colder and some of the buyers are looking for the "off peak market deal". With Spring/Summer…

Why Calling the Sign Might Cost You – Edmonton REALTOR® Advice

You're driving through an Edmonton neighborhood when you see it—a beautiful house for sale. You call the number on the sign, hoping to get a good deal. But here’s what most buyers don’t realize: that call could cost you.

Who Does the Listing Agent Work For?

The agent on the sign is legally and ethically committed to the seller. Their job? Get the seller the highest price and best terms—not to represent or protect your interests.

What You Risk Without Your Own REALTOR®

When you approach a listing without your own representation, you’re on your own—legally and strategically. The seller’s agent has one job: to protect the seller’s interests, not yours.

Hey everyone. Just thought I should share something with you that could make your day a real crappy one if you dont keep up on this little thing.

So needless to say I checked the rest of the hot water shut offs and two of the three bathrooms also continued to allow the flow of water. Good thing I didn't start taking he taps apart first. Well it was a simple fix. I…
