Airdrie, AB

The GRAND OPENING of Genesis Place is happening this week. Phase TWO is now open to the public.

Check out the link and see what the place has to offer. The short video also gives you a great overview of the new facilities.

A local tradition in Airdrie, is REALTOR TOUR TUESDAYS. Our office organizes the tour, and emails the tour sheet to all the local offices in Airdrie.

Each New Listing that has been loaded onto the MLS is featured on tour. Its a nice way to see new listings to preview them for our potential buyers. I've actually found a few homes for my buyers this way, and sold them.

You can have up to 20 plus Real Estate Agents zip through a home on any given Tuesday. Its a great way to network, find out what is happening in our market place and see some wonderful homes.

Something I see the larger cities not doing anymore....maybe due to size or the time it takes. I think Airdrie has niche here, and offers sellers just one more bonus for selling their home.

Tuesday IS our Tour Day....

So I visited a new community in Airdrie yesterday. "Grand Opening Special"

1107 sq.ft. townhouse with laminate flooring, granite eating bar, washer/dryer, ceran top range, legal fees all for $211,900. June 2010 possession

1500 sq.ft. townhouse with nice upgrades for $289,900 - summer 2010 possession. This home has a double attached garage.

Nice thing about the area is the natural park reserve in the middle of the community. Many of the homes will boast walk out basements and views backing onto the waterway. "Watch the Ducks" Pathways and walking bridges, make family walks on a hot summer night a real treat.

You get a real sense of community. I like that, and feel this project will do well.

Thinking of a move to Airdrie, consider a New Home or a New Beginning.

The union representing Airdrie's Emergency Services insists their decision to join the International Association of Fire Fighters was not driven by a desire to become adversarial or confrontational with their employer, the City of Airdrie. Airdrie's Emergency Services is not looking for big wage increases or grievances, that's not been part their efforts to organize Airdrie firefighters. Firefighters have become have become a partner with the city. The International Association of Fire Fighters promotes the concept that labour relations are a partnership.

Airdrie's Emergency Services voted Nov. 4 to join the International Association of Fire Fighters and the motion passed with 79 per cent approval, with 56 of 57 eligible voters responding. Membership in the union will provide Airdrie's Emergency Services access to professional development and training as well as provide worldwide networking opportunities.

International Association of Fire Fighters is the largest professional organization representing firefighters, firefighter safety and the public safety with respect to fire protection and emergency based EMS. They provide the support and resources to help them succeed at the local level. To the Airdrie frontline firefighter, International Association of Fire Fighters provide Airdrie's Emergency Services a window into that network that's a fraternity of firefighters worldwide and a tight-knit family."

Having Airdrie's Emergency Services associated with the International Association of Fire Fighters can only mean better safety and service for Airdrie's Residence.

Speaking of safety and service, As a Realtor I can appreciate how joining a larger group such as the International Association of Fire Fighters can be of great assistance. Canadian Realtors have the their local Boards, Provincial Associations ,such as ; Alberta Real Estate Association and the Canadian Real Estate Council, to assist us with Training, government representation, operational guidelines and consumer protection. Making our industry one of the most regulated, to assure that we provide fairness, safety and educated members . I know I appreciate having such dedicated associations behind me giving my clients the assurance they are working with a true professional.
