Otherwise known as the Light Rail Transit system.  Edmonton was one of the first to have cutting edge on this transportation.  And the last few years Edmonton has taken on plans and approved expansion - this great way of transportation allows Edmontonians to travel quickly and for less money and better on our environment.

Cars - nope not the movie... though my kids love that movie.  My ranting today is about cars.  Buyer beware when you purchase a new car, what does this have to do with real estate you ask?  A car loan is the biggest red flag I've come across when a client is looking to get preapproved for a mortgage.  Car loans are not looked upon very highly and can really do a number on your debt ratios.   So when you consider purchasing a car, I'd highly recommend saving up (which I know seems like a foreign ...

Because it is a buyers market there - your house needs to stand out.  And it makes a BIG difference hiring a professional stager to stage your home versus yourself or someone's opinion who likes design.  Not only can you demand more (disclaimer: however a well staged home will still not sell a overpriced home!) ...

With all the media hype about the Sovereign Debt crisis and words like "contagion", the PIGS countries, etc what does all that mean? Where're do you invest? Houses, gold, agriculture? This morning I was apart of an educational event put on by my office and one of the featured speakers was Ben Chan from Scarborough, ON with ScotiaMcLeod.
