Monday, April 1, 2013 - Ralph Klein

I beleive its important to note the passing of our former mayor of Calgary and premier, Ralph Klein on Good Friday. I was always impressed that he spoke his mind and said out loud what many people were thinking. And the fact he took AB from a $23 Billion deficit to balancing the books was pretty impressive too. We will miss Ralph.

I recently did a transaction with a lovely couple. It was not a perfect ride from beginning to end, but we found our way and they did end up with the perfect home for them. I was so pleased as they did have their first deal crumble. As the saying goes, sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs. That said, there was some confusion after moving in about property taxes. We knew how much they were and that the seller is responsible for them until the possession day, that the lawyer makes those ...

Not every year and only if the provincial budget allows for it, but it looks like 2011 may be one of those years.
