Realtor.ca Now Sucks Even Less!
I had posted about a month or so ago about how the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) had listened to consumers and REALTORS® nationwide and made some much needed improvements to its much-maligned REALTOR.ca experience. Last Thursday, additional improvements were rolled out to REALTOR.ca which should improve the user experience even more. A new GalleryContinue reading “Realtor.ca Now Sucks Even Less!”
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]”
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”
Are Sooke’s Seaview Trailer Park Residents Still In Peril?
Since I first posted about the plight of the residents of the Seaview Mobile Home Park in Sooke, I’ve had quite the response from residents of the park and observers of the situation. I even had a comment the other day that was so defamatory that I was afraid to post it and I deletedContinue reading “Are Sooke’s Seaview Trailer Park Residents Still In Peril?”
It’s Official: October Sucked. Victoria BC MLS Real Estate Statistics October 2008
The stock markets crashed. Billions were pulled out of mutual funds. Banks were bailed out. We were all subjected to hearing Sarah Palin speak. And now this reminder of the worst month in history, ever ™. The monthly real estate statistics from the Victoria Real Estate Board were (mercifully) delayed by a few days dueContinue reading “It’s Official: October Sucked.

Moral Dilemma
I missed a Horrible MLS Photo yesterday. I had a bit of thinking to do on the future of this part of my blog. On Friday, I had a call from a member of our real estate board who had noticed one of his pictures on the blog last week. He wasn’t upset about theContinue reading “Moral Dilemma”
5 Things Meme
Since Raul was so “upset” (wink-wink nudge-nudge) that I didn’t mention him in yesterday’s W-5 post, I thought I’d steal a meme I came across on his blog (see, I DO read you). For the uninitiated, a meme is like the blog equivalent of a chain letter, except it just asks simple questions, and notContinue reading “5 Things Meme”
Happy Blogoversary!
It’s my blogoversary! One year ago I registered my very first WordPress.com blog. VictoriaBCRealEstateBlog.com [which is now imported and viewable in the archives of this blog] was originally intended to be a resource for REALTORS® about technology and web 2.0 stuff that I thought they’d like to know. However, I soon realised that not manyContinue reading “Happy Blogoversary!”

As many of you know, I’m engaged to a beautiful woman from Newfoundland; we’re gettin’ hitched next August. Well this August, it’s her sister’s turn to walk down the aisle, and we’re going from this here rock to that there rock to attend the wedding.
