Musical Show--my new entertainment!

I found a new hobby. I am enjoying the holidays by watching a live musical show. I always drive by Granville Street and like everyone, I'm always curious of what's showing at Stanley Theatre (Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage) on Granville/12th. One rainy night, I decided to buy a ticket and watch the musical show,"White Christmas"as my Christmas treat for myself. Wow! I had a blast and I think it's a good way to relax your mind and enjoy the live music instead of listening to cd or watch TV. The second night, I went to Granville Island and watched the Blood Brothers and the story was not Christmasy however, being at that theatre made me experienced and appreciated that I live in a beautiful Province and that we have such talented people who can sing and act. And no matter what's the story, it makes me forget my state of chaos mind and engulf myself by being in the moment.

Yes, I am happy to tell you especially for the new comers in Vancouver that we are bless to be in a beautiful city and that the city has so many things to offer even during the fall/winter season.

As a supporter of the Arts and for January 2012 promotion, I would like to share with you how wonderful it is to be at a live musical/theatre show by giving you a Complimentary Season Ticket Package when you buy or sell real estate with my service. Please mention this promotion when you contact me @ 778.837.3617 or email gracebrewster@telus.net .

Updates!

It's been awhile sinceI visited my blog page. I hope everybody is ready for the Holidays. In the past 6 months, there were so many good things that happened to me. The market was good for me and I expect to double or triple my business in 2012! I also became the VP of the local association which has 100's of members, family and friends who are enjoying the group (http://www.ciabc.org/). After finishing my Managing/Associate Broker Course, I am scheduled to write my Broker license very soon.


In addition, I also took some Commercial Real Estate professional development courses offered by the real estate board recently and combined with my other professional development credits, I am excited to expand my experience in commercial area. As an investor myself, I love knowing the jargons and all the investment numbers like feasilibility studies, single and multi-period analysis (not to mention it was also in the Broker Course). It will be a great asset to help others to invest from one unit to multi-family. I have all the patience to help my clients from start to finish. I used to give free first time buyers seminars, so why not expand it to multi-family or joint venture and work with investors. Effective January 2012, I will be a Candidate Member of the Commercial Division and in order for me to get the full membership, I need to complete a total of 10 qualifying Commercial transactions or $10M qualifying transactions.

I'm also thankful to meet a good CGA who can help us with the investment tax area. His info is Geoff Carter of Carter's Accounting Services 778-840-1741 email caraserv@shaw.ca

WHY DO YOU NEED A REALTOR?

New Sub-Areas Boundaries in False Creek

On Thursday, June 16, new sub-area boundaries were implemented for the False Creek area of downtown Vancouver. Specifically, the ‘False Creek North’ sub-area will be expanded and renamed ‘Yaletown,’ and the ‘False Creek’ sub-area will be expanded to include the area around Olympic Village.

These changes are the result of a series of consultations with Vancouver Westside Division members. They are intended to provide a more accurate representation of the boundaries of these neighbourhoods and a more current reference for the name of the Yaletown sub-area.
Anyone using automatic searches in these sub-areas on MLXchange will need to adjust their settings to continue to receive the search results that they are looking for.

The Board will also upload the authenticated tax rolls for 2011 into MLXchange on June 16. This update ensures that MLXchange is using the most current property assessment information available.
