Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #290
December 19th, 2008 This awkward shot violates one of my main no-nos in real estate photography, and that is to never shoot a bathroom without a wide angle lens. They’re just not big enough to capture anything useful with a regular lens. Here the REALTOR® has tried to use the mirror to capture more ofContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #290”
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.

Think Realtor.ca Sucks? It Will Get Better Soon
Since the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) replaced the much-loved MLS.ca with the (so far) much-maligned REALTOR.ca last month, they’ve had nothing but complaints from everyone who uses it (consumers) and everyone who benefits from it (REALTORS® in Canada). I can understand the domain name switch. Since its inception, MLS.ca has never been all thatContinue reading “Think Realtor.ca Sucks? It Will Get Better Soon”

Microsoft Surface: Imagine the Possibilities
I’ve been meaning to blog about Microsoft’s Surface technology for a while now, but a video from TechCrunch this morning (below) has reminded me how utterly cool this is. The concept was conceived in 2001 and the first prototype was in 2003, so it’s nothing new, but we have yet to see any sort ofContinue reading “Microsoft Surface: Imagine the Possibilities”
On Perks Of The Job

Victoria BC Real Estate Board MLS® Statistics – October 2007
I don’t think you’d find a real estate professional in the Victoria area who’d tell you they expected 2007 to outperform 2006. Everyone said the market was plateauing, that we should expect properties to sit on the market for months, and see price reductions left, right and center. The doomsday prophets predicted the credit problemsContinue reading “Victoria BC Real Estate Board MLS® Statistics – October 2007”
