Brad Hanks on Social Networking in Kelowna

Shannon and I have been on 4 courses over the last 2 days on Social Networking. Brad Hanks has been brought in by REMAX Kelowna and he's put on seminars on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and Blogging. It can seem a bit overwhelming, but we have both learned a tremendous amount. We've been blogging for quite a while now, but of course there's always room for improvement. We also are using Twitter and Linkedin more and more. It's good to learn ways to help our website continue to rank well when searching Kelowna Real Estate. We'd love to hear from you with your thoughts and experience with these different social media tools. And as always, if we can help you with real estate in Kelowna, just let us know.

Thanks to our Amazing Clients!

We had our annual Client Christmas Cheer party last night and had a great turnout (even though Canada Post didn't deliver over half of the invites we mailed out). It's always really nice to catch up with people and our generous clients and friends made some incredible donations for the silent auction. We raised a good chunk of money for the Children's Miracle Network which is an important cause to both Shannon and I.

Thank you to everyone who attended or donated and we look forward to doing it again!

If you or anyone you know have any real estate questions we can help with, or if you'd like a list of the best buys in Kelowna real estate, just let us know!

Bruce Stone Says The Market is Shifting

I had lunch today with our Dad, Bruce Stone, who sold Real Estate in Kelowna from 1978 through to 1999 (now he's in the factoring business as well as giving his daughters advice). We were discussing the number of offers we have had on our listings lately and that several of our sellers have not accepted the offers. Dad said that tends to be the first indicator of a market that is improving. It may be that sellers are thinking (and I would agree) that things have hit bottom and that Spring should see an increase in activity (and perhaps an upward trend on prices?)
Of course only time will tell, but it's always good to hear the opinion of someone with such experience.

If we can help you with any real estate needs or questions, please give us a call or email.

Prime Ministers Wife in Kelowna


We were fortunate enough to attend a recent event in Kelowna called Canada's Leading Ladies. Jean Pare the author of the Company's Coming Cookbooks spoke and so did Laureen Harper. Mrs. Harper in particular was very warm and approachable - she shared some funny stories with us that helped show who she is as a women: coming from a small town in Alberta and now the wife of Canada's Prime Minister

The money raised went towards two valuable groups: The Women's Enterprise Centre and the Kelowna Women's Shelter.

It was a wonderful event to have in Kelowna.
