"In the past 15 years my wife and I have sold 12 houses, using a different Realtor each sale. We have never had any one work as hard or as proffesionaly as we have with Grant Wiebe and His real estate team. They always got back to us in a timely maner after an interest was taken through our house. They advertised far beyond any previous company. It had to be the most pleasent transaction we have ever ...

For those who think that the Kelowna Rockets are the only game in town, it's time you check out some great old-time junior hockey and follow the Kelowna Chiefs through their playoff run.

Are you letting yourself be influenced by real estate statistics that don't really tell the story of your local market? BC provincial average real estate stats are overwhelming dominated by the Vancouver real estate market, since more than half of BC's population lives in the Metro Vancouver area.

Do you think REALTORS® should be available to personally answer questions about the properties they represent? I do. Do you think real estate agents should leave that responsibility to unlicensed assistants who have never visited these properties? I don't.

In the fall, many people who really want to sell their homes decide to take their properties of the market in hopes that the "springtime effect" will bring them more buyers and a higher price come spring. Unfortunately, this hope has not come true in the last few years, as spring has brought a flood of inventory to market that the demand is not capable of absorbing. The last few spring ...
