Greetings,
What an exciting time in Vancouver as we are in the middle of hosting the 2010 Winter Olympic Games! Real estate activity has slowed down slightly, but still remains active, as we are fixed to our television cheering on our athletes but as the Games come to a close on February 28, the real estate market will be going full steam ahead.
As usual, I am here to help, and Spring is a great season to buy and sell. Please feel free to contact me this month for a complimentary appraisal of your home, free real estate advice, or to help you buy or sell your next home. Let your friends know, I would love to help them too.
Best regards,
Karel Palla
