Robert Swetz is going to be focusing on selling Commercial Properties from Huge Buildings, Commercial Land & Businesses.

I have found some one that will be working residential for me so I can put all my time into Commercial. The person that will be helping me is young, smart and very good with numbers, I will be sharing who this is later in the next few months.

I received a huge call from of all places (Alberta Canada) and they left me a message on my voice mail and I called him back as soon as I could, he mentioned he had found me on the web.

After talking with my new client for a while I asked him where he had found my name on the web and he said "Rain something" and I said your mean "Activerain" and he said yes.

Well I can't sell Real Estate in Alberta Canada but I can sure look for someone that might be interested in purchasing this mans Commercial Property.

I mentioned to him that I could find someone in Alberta Canada that might be interested in helping him, he asked if I could please ask around Las Vegas or check with some of my Investors.

This man has turned down offers of 4.5 million so (Vegas Bob) has some homework to do and some phone calls to make.

The photograph above was taken at MGM City Center 7-2009 by: Robert Swetz and I would love to sell a project like this, is it OK to dream?

This and that

Alberta still better off than others - "The state of the province’s economy one quarter into the 2009-10 fiscal year shows a sharper period of recession than expected, Evans said, but the province still expects a stronger recovery next year.

“It’s still a better news story in Alberta than anywhere else in the country,” she said.

The finance minister said interpreting the economic picture in “doom and gloom” terms would be “belittling the entrepreneurship of Albertans.”

So far, there is no sign of how the province plans to head off an economy that’s running red; the $6.9 billion deficit means the Sustainability Fund will be tapped, leaving it with a projected $9.3 billion by the end of the year."

The message is that Alberta needs to correct it's course and there really is no need to over-react. In the last 7 years Alberta spent $140 Billion on infrastructure and virtually wiped out provincial debt and there still is the Sustainability Fund to dip into if need be.

Environment Carbon Crapshoot - "This year, the Alberta and federal governments are setting aside billions of dollars for subsidies that will go to some of the nation’s largest energy companies. The money represents a down payment on a grand experiment. The idea is to collect carbon dioxide generated by industry before it goes up the stack into the atmosphere, and cloister it underground for eternity. It’s called carbon capture and storage (CCS). It’s fearfully expensive, and there’s no guarantee it will work. Yet work it must. Because Canada has no Plan B for reducing the impact of its energy industry on the Earth’s climate."

U.S State Department OKs Pipeline From Canada's Oilsands - The U.S. State Department has issued a permit for a multibillion-dollar pipeline to carry crude oil from Canadian oil sands to refineries south of the border, triggering a court challenge from environmental and native groups. The State Department issued a Presidential Permit to Enbridge Energy, Ltd. for the Alberta Clipper - a 1,000-mile/1,607-kilometer crude oil pipeline that will run between Hardisty, Alberta, and Superior, Wisconsin.

With supply of crude oil from Western Canada oil sands developments expected to grow by as much as 1.8 million barrels per day by 2015, the industry has asked for more ...

So how long do you think the deficit will last?

I forgot to tell you...

We went to Canada for two great weeks. It was Ronan's first international flight and he was fantastic. Slept the whole way there (hint to traveling new parents make sure you get the bassinet seat) on the way back it was a bit rougher and jet lag seems to have affected him more but overall we've got a little traveler here. We're excited to take him to Malaysia this winter.

Our family was ecstatic to see him and he was a hit all round. I totally relaxed as everyone wanted to hold him!

Edmonton is a fantastic city, it's certainly grown since the last time we've visited. Vancouver has become so chic. I don't know if it's changed for the coming 2010 Olympics or if it's just a huge gentrification but the city is outstanding ~ house prices and affordability reflect that too.

We also made a quick trip to look at Pender Island. What a paradise. We met some great realtors and stayed at a fantastic B&B.
