One of the best things about moving to Sooke is the excellent system of parks and trails our district enjoys. From Ed MacGregor Park and the waterfront boardwalk to the Galloping Goose Trail, there’s always something to do in some beautiful park in Sooke. Today when I went to grab the best cappuccino on theContinue reading “Sooke Parks and Trails Master Plan Open House Nov 26th”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #262
November 21st, 2008 Dunno about you, but I don’t think I’d be bringing my buyers through this one unless they really really wanted to go. Nearly every picture on the listing was like this – junk, dirt and grime everywhere. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your commentsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #262”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #261
November 20th, 2008 Use that preview function! This could have been re-shot so it was straight and that would have solved most of the problem. Standing a little further back or investing in a wide-angle lens would have also helped. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your commentsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #261”
Just Saying Hi On My Way To Westshore MLS Tour [VIDEO]
It’s been a while since I was on video! I went to the West Shore MLS tour in Colwood and Langford today and just thought I’d say hi to you through the video. I had one of my listings on the tour this week and got to see 10 other really nice places in LangfordContinue reading “Just Saying Hi On My Way To Westshore MLS Tour [VIDEO]”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #260
November 19th, 2008 Obviously something has gone horrible wrong with this photo. Perhaps the REALTOR® cropped the photo and it got stretched by the MLS system? Whatever the case, it’s an odd way of stretching the truth about the place. OK, sorry for that. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke RealContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #260”
Sooke Events: Sooke Traditional Christmas Fine Arts and Crafts Exhibition 2008
Only in a small, friendly community like Sooke would you find such a unique offering for a Christmas craft fair. Held every year at a private residence, this outstanding exhibition takes over the entire house for three great days of unique shopping opportunities. With (at latest count) 42 different artists and crafters represented, there areContinue reading “Sooke Events: Sooke Traditional Christmas Fine Arts and Crafts Exhibition 2008”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #259
November 18th, 2008 A couple of steps to the right would have avoided the distracting post/lantern in the foreground and given us a better view of the room. Also, the exposure is thrown off by the closeness and whiteness of the post in the foreground, rendering it really bright, and the room quite dark. SeeContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #259”
Sooke 2008 Municipal Election Results
First of all, thanks to all Sooke voters who came out to vote this past Saturday, and at advance polls earlier this month. This important vote for your civic leaders should have the highest turnout of all levels of government, but usually doesn’t. According to CivicInfoBC, 43.71% of eligible voters turned out to vote, butContinue reading “Sooke 2008 Municipal Election Results”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #258
November 17th, 2008 I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again – KIDS DON’T BELONG IN REAL ESTATE PHOTOS! I’m sure even my critics can agree with me there. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! Just use the form or linkContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #258”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #257
November 16th, 2008 At least they capture most of this kitchen in the shot, which is good. But it would have looked better if the REALTOR® used a simple image editor to crop the photo to remove from the frame the walls on the sides and straighten out the picture. See all the usual suspectsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #257”
