The importance of a terrific real estate agent

Wrote recently of the property in Grand Cayman with rental income. The location is not yet known, although I had thought it was in the east end of the island.

Adjusting to the weather in Canada, after leaving 85 degree weather, has been an interesting challenge, despite living in Canada for 39 years. Yesterday for example it was negative 25 degrees celcius, and before figuring out the thermostat, I had been sleeping with a scarf wrapped around my head.

It will all be worth it once I set out to the slopes north of Toronto. I tried once, but the wind seemed to blow right through me.

The reason I entitled this blog the way I did, is that thanks to my real estate agent Richard K.C. Ling at Harvey Calles, I found a property very quickly in an good area of Toronto. It helped that he has a very good sense of timing, has astute business skills, and can read people well. He certainly gave 100% of his time and his energy in helping me place an offer on December 30, 2007. The thorough inspection report that was arranged through my realtor - immediately - confirmed it is a solid investment.

Despite the cold, I feel incredibly warm inside !
