Congratulations to former councillor Ernie Daykin as he takes over from Gord Robson as Mayor of Maple Ridge. Our city awaits the new voice to be heard from city hall. Daykin seems to be a highly likeable, personable fellow, somehow less formidable & imposing than Robson. Only time will tell if Daykin's "man of the people" persona will prove effective or not.
The results were not even close, so obviously Maple Ridge is ready for a change.
A surprise to some was the as yet still unofficial win of Richard Stewart for the position of Mayor of Coquitlam. A hearty congratulations to Mr. Stewart as he enters his new position. A sincere thank you to outgoing mayor Maxine Wilson, for all her dedication, effort and hard work up to this point.
Elections with results as close as this were have the effect of leaving the population uneasy, the decision is not a clear one & only time will tell if the public will be happy with the results in the long run.
I was at (yet another) training session at my office yesterday - the topic "Open Houses". Great information was presented, but one fact came to light that rather shocked and dissapointed me.
It was recommended to us that we get our name/picture on our open house street directional signs to prevent other agents in our company from snatching them out of the grass & using them for their own open houses!!! (Not anyone in our own office of course we were told!)
Wheres the love? Where's the teamwork? I know it's a tough market, but how cheap do you have to be to stoop to something like that?
Has this ever happened to you? Did you ever catch another agent in the act?
On my way out now to get some customized Open House signs with my smiling face on them I guess!
Have a great day!
As one of the many charities supported by our office, we are a drop off point for the annual Blanket Drive.
Any warm items, articles of clothing (particularly childrens coats/mittens/etc) as well as sweaters, blankets and other items needed by those less fortunate will be collected at our office:
2185 Austin Avenue, Coquitlam, BC 604-939-6666 for office hours - Ask for "Doc" Livingston if you need more information or would like addresses of other drop off points.
Clean out those closets and bring in items not needed by you, but much needed by others. It is the small acts of kindness like these that can make a huge difference to others.
As a new realtor, I'm excited to be doing my first kiosk shift at the Metrotown Location in Burnaby and feel honored to represent my company on this most important day.
We are lucky enough to have a WW2 veteran in our family, my husband's grandfather - Mr. Herbert Reeves of Parksville, BC. A few years ago Grandpa gave my husband his war medals which we had beautifully framed - they hang in a place of prominence in our home as a daily reminder of those who paved the way for us to have a lifestyle of freedom and privilege.
Today, we will take a special moment with our children to reflect and remind them of their Great Grandfather's heroic efforts as well as that of countless others & hope that our children and their childrens children shall never have to witnes anything remotely like that.
I hope I get the opportunity today to speak to some of our veterans who might be hanging out at the mall on this rainy Remembrance Day & thank them for their service to our great country.
Lest we forget,
Angela Reeves - Royal LePage Coronation West

It is an honor for me to assist people in perhaps their most important finanical & emotional transactions - finding and selling their home. I pride myself on being not just a good listener, but a great one. My clients needs are my first priority, and I want each client to feel like a first class passenger on my airline. My business is built on personal referrals, I don't spend anything on flashy advertising or direct mailing, but rather chose to spend my time best serving the needs of my clients. Extraordinarily satisfied clients are the best form of advertising, and a convenient side benefit to a job extremely well done.
I feel I owe it to my clients to be up to date and prepared to meet the demands of todays market, and because of that fact I have undertaken additional training in the field of Home Staging & obtained my CCSP (Certified Canadian Staging Professional) designation. In todays highly competitive market, each listing must be shown to it's absolute best advantage in order to retain sellers hard earned equity and also to stand out amongst the crowd of listings to potential buyers. Visit the link below to find out more about staging and see some great before and after shots of staged properties http://www.canadianstagingprofessionals.com/pages/?cspid=1250
I feel environmental concerns are a huge issue with today's homeowners and am a member of the National Association of Green Agents and Brokers (NAGAB) & make a point of staying current with new environmentally sensitive products and services on behalf of my clients.
