So after posting my blog yesterday talking about how I had just created my own neighborhood Face book page, I go and forget to post the link. You can trust me when I say that it wasn't for suspense or 'hyping' purposes.
I guess in all my haste to post about my new creation I forgot the most important part. As of right now the page has 6 members, all of whom were personally invited by myself (friends and folks I know in the neighborhood). As time goes on I really hope to see the group grow so we can learn more about our neighbors and enhance the community as a whole.
So I guess without further suspense the link to the much anticipated Copperwood neighborhood Facebook group.
I took some time today to take some advice from a fellow Activerainer today and created a Facebook group for my community (Copperwood - Lethbridge). This is a very good idea in order to create a network of locals from the same community to discuss neighbourhood news and events, get to know our neighbours a bit more and perhaps even foster a few new leads in the process.
Facebook really is an amazing tool to not only network with friends, colleagues and former school-mates. It is becoming a habit for almost any daily user of the internet. The possibilities are endless. people can chat about safety issues, yard sales, home values and more. You could create a page for your book club or your bowling league -- the possibilities are endless!
Hopefully you will be able to use this information and create a group that applies to something of interest to you. Kind of like planting a seed and watching it grow.
If you happen to be a resident of Copperwood, by all means join the group and introduce yourself!!

Today I received an email out of the blue from a client that I helped with a mortgage in the early summer. The email was simply to thank me for the job that I did for her and her boyfriend when they purchased a home in order to relocate to a new city. It sure was a good feeling to know that I was still in mind almost half a year later. I will be adding this email to my testimonial section shortly.
It is situations like this that make the job that I do rewarding every single day. To be able to help folks achieve their home-ownership and financial dreams is not something that I take lightly. I hope all of my customers, past present and future know that I sincerely appreciate them allowing me to help them achieve their home ownership dreams and am always willing to help at any stage.
I love meeting with new individuals and being able to offer professional advice that may allow them to move into a better financial/personal situation than they were in prior to meeting.
My goal is to build lifelong relationships with all of my clients through premier service, integrity and product offering. It is too comman of an occurance in this hectic industry to simply sign paperwork and move on to the next lead.
I think we all can do ourselves a huge favor in taking the time to properly recognize each and every client, no matter situation/time of year etc. Obviously, if you do not do this, you may not be in the industry too long. Nevertheless, it's nice to be able to look back from time to time and know that there are people out there that are very appreciative when they receive extraordinary service.
Treat your clients like the rock stars that they are and the favor will likely be returned tenfold. I know this one simple email made me feel like a king and there is no better feeling in the world!!
Just wanted to take a few minutes to wish everyone a very safe, happy and prosperous new year! 2009 is going to be a great year! All the best gang!!
My resolution is to update my blog a lot more often this year!!
Cheers
Thoughts and prayers to friends and family members of the eight victims of the Avalanche near my hometown of Fernie B.C.. Due to the relatively small population of Fernie and Sparwood, these men were known throughout the valley. Several of my friends and their families have been directly affected by this tragedy.
I happened to know one of the victims personally, having played hockey with him throughout my teen years. It's been several years since I've seen him but I can say that he was a awesome guy and great team-mate. One of the fastest skaters around!
To everyone affected by this act of nature, try to remain strong and rely on your loved ones to help pull you through. It is truly a dark time.
Elk Valley residents unite to help these young families cope through this unimaginable sadness. May God be with you all!

I cannot say enough about Shaun and the service he's provided my husband and I. We were new to the city of Lethbridge, just starting out in our professional careers (and carrying the student loan debt to prove it!) and hoping to buy our first home. Greg (my husband) is self employed and other financial institutions wouldn't even consider helping us with a mortgage because Greg was considered a liability. Shaun met with us, took a look at our options and has helped us purchase our first home- we move in August 1. All I can say, with utmost sincerity, is thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have and will continue to tell all my friends about the great work Shaun has done for us and continues to do!

We refinanced our mortgage with Shaun and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering refinancing, or applying for a mortgage. He is very helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thanks Shaun!

I have nothing but Kudos for you Shaun, you took the time to sit and explain things in a language I understood.
Also you are always up for coming and answering our questions at any time or day. Without you we wouldn't have our beautfiul house!!! Thanks again
Jackie Geneau -- Coalhurst Alberta
Now that we've been in our new place for almost 2 months, that have passed in an absolute blur, I also wanted
to say thank you for the excellent mortgage you arranged for us. I was very pleased with the way you understood our situation and got us a mortgage that fit.
