Real Estate Porn
It’s no secret that sex sells, so it’s not surprising there’s a growing trend in the real estate industry to use it to sell properties. Below is a video from Fox News in Los Angeles.

Casulo – Apartment in a Box!
And you thought IKEA was innovative! It seems the Germans are giving the Swedes a run for their money on this one. Casulo, which is Portuguese for cocoon, describes perfectly this prototype product. The box transforms into an armoire, desk with drawers, desk chair, 2 more seats, six shelf bookcase, and a bed and mattress.Continue reading “Casulo – Apartment in a Box!”
The Big Rock Show – In Sooke!
Last Saturday night was a real treat for our town. I must admit, I was a little skeptical about a rock concert in our little community. But 70’s and 80’s Canadian rockers Prism put on an energetic show at the Sooke Community Hall.

Vancouver Timelapse
Not exactly Victoria-related, but kind of about real estate! Too cool not to post on my blog! This was taken from the filmmaker’s Yaletown Condo. Vancouver Real Estate is all about condos downtown – wonder how much the view from this place costs! –Tim Ayres
On Perks Of The Job
Every job has its perks, here’s one in real estate. One of the true joys in my working life is when I get to work with people I know. As REALTORS®, we are constantly promoting ourselves and our services, and are honoured to get the business of strangers who like what our marketing materials say.Continue reading “On Perks Of The Job”
This House Rocks!
Pardon the Pun: This is not a digital manipulation. It is an actual house in France called Maison dans les Roches (House Between the Rocks) de Plougrescant. I believe it is located in the Brittany region. Beyond that I wasn’t able to dig up a lot of information on it. Pretty fascinating, though. Tim Ayres
