Monday had its moments.

Yesterday involved some final touches to the kitchen of 214-5500 Andrews Road in Steveston. Under the guidance of home stager, Joanne MacKay of Ocean Breeze Staging with Mark Herbert of Brothers Cabinetry Design Inc., new cupboard doors and drawer fronts were installed with new hardware, some new ceiling lights were installed, the hood fan was replaced, the ceilings and walls in the living, dining, and den were painted, and the carpets cleaned. Today, Joanne spends the a few hours waving her magic want to stage the home for this weekend's open house. 

Spoke to T after he and his parents had spoke to Michael Friedman about various financing methods towards T buying a home for him and S, who is expecting their second child in a few months, and their two large dogs. 

Emailed copies of the contract of purchase and sale to the buyers I met with last Friday.  They and the sellers wanted me to merely prepare the contract under their direction and not act as real estate agent for either party.  When I asked the sellers why not go to a lawyer, they said we don't trust anyone else but (me).  Flattering but still, for legal advice, a lawyer is worth the investment. 

My office is going under the knife.  The renovations will hopefully be finished this week and the facelift will be complete. 

My connection with the Real Estate Group (a Linkedin group) displayed a new set of listings in Cedar Cottage.  3 New Towhomes reclaimed from an original heritage house called 'La Tessa'.  I plan to do a drive by today. 1260 East 19th Avenue, 1262 E 19th Ave., 1268 E 19th Avenue.
