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

Anyway, those are my short term goals. What are your goals for the New Year?
