Dear Reader,

When we walk outside our doors this time of year, it’s not uncommon to be spooked by the haunted sights and sounds around our neighbourhood. While that’s all in good fun, other spooky sights and sounds around your home might not be. For example, maybe you are spooked by a toilet that has suddenly started making strange noises, or you hear a dripping sound from a faucet in the middle of the night that sends shivers up your spine. You may need a plumber if any of those spooky sounds haunt you. If that’s the case, I want you to know you don’t have to be in the dark looking for a plumber or any other contractor you may need. I have a full list of reputable contractors I can recommend for whatever spooky sounds or sights you may discover around…

Edmonton

Moving to a new city is a big deal, and deciding where to pick can be tricky. A Redditor asked Edmontonians that chose the city over Calgary for their reasons why and people didn't hold back.

The Reddit post asked people to share why they preferred Edmonton over Calgary as a person that had visited both cities didn't see much of a difference.

"Calgary downtown is nicer, but otherwise, both cities are very similar," the post said. "I feel more at home in Edmonton because it’s not trying to be Toronto."

People on Reddit were pretty vocal about their decision to move to Alberta's capital, Edmonton, over Calgary, and the debate got heated.

For many people, moving to Edmonton over Calgary was mainly a financial decision as housing in the city…

Stucco repairs

I think agents should do more than just open doors.  Be able to explain the home, from the shingles to the foundation.  To do more than just show where to sign a purchase contract.

 Part of job should be helping clients, and a big part of home ownership, is maintenance and repair.  In this short video, I'll show how easy stucco is to repair.

Stucco is:

  1. durable
  2. fire resistant
  3. paintable, and
  4. easily repaired

With only a few materials and tools, you can repair 20 years of hail damage, instead of having to replace the entire exterior.

Credit: Secrets to Unlock the Bank's Vault

 

As an agent, I have helped MANY clients purchase their first home, and have learned what the banks want. If you think you have ANY issues getting approved to purchase your next home, watching this credit video (and my other videos) will help tremendously towards your future purchase. When your normal banks won't grant you credit, I suggest:

  1. A SECURED card: https://www.capitalone.ca/credit-cards/guaranteed-mastercard/  or https://www.hometrust.ca/credit-cards/secured-visa-card/ 
  2. After this, I suggest cards from a variety of retailers. Retailers are keen to help you shop in THEIR stores; store specific cards are generally easier to get than "main stream" cards. Many retailers offer co-branded…

 Clients have asked me if I've seen an uptick in people wanting to move to rural, small town Alberta. It might make sense for some people, either as they've realized they might not NEEDED at their desk, are worried about Covid, want a slower pace of life, or simply the savings that come with leaving the big city.

 I explore the various options, how I'd choose which towns to live in, and what you could get buy for a LOT less than your current home is likely worth.
