CALGARY & AREA REALTOR® LPT REALTY

Drawn by my son a couple of years ago, to honour those who gave everything for our freedom. 🌺 Thank you to the fallen, to those who still serve, to everyone who supports our Armed Forces, and to the teachers who make sure our kids never forget. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #Calgary #YYC #CanadianArmedForces

Today, a complete stranger offered to take my dog’s poop bag. And somehow, it made my week. 😂 I took Sam for a longer than usual walk today along the south side of the Glenmore Reservoir. Probably about 6 km, although I didn’t have a step tracker. It’s amazing how far you can walk when you’re actually taking it all in. First, a shoutout to the City of Calgary. The improvements along this stretch are genuinely impressive. What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon. But back to the poop. I had just finished bagging up Sam’s second contribution to the trail when a woman approached me and asked if she could take the bag. My first thought was, “What the…?” I politely declined, but she showed me another bag she was already carrying and explained that she was heading toward a disposal bin anyway. Here’s the thing. She didn’t even have a dog! Who does that?! I eventually handed it over, thanked her, and continued on my way with a pretty big smile. Carrying that bag wouldn’t have ruined my walk. It’s part of being a dog owner. But this complete stranger went out of her way to do something thoughtful for someone she didn’t know, and it genuinely caught me off guard. We hear plenty about what’s wrong with the world. It’s easy to overlook the little things that remind us what’s right with it. Random acts of kindness matter. They lift people up, restore a little faith in humanity, and sometimes make someone’s entire week. To the woman on the trail today, thank you. You made mine. ❤️ #GlenmoreReservoir #YYC #CalgaryLife #RandomActsOfKindness #DogWalking ExploreCalgary CalgaryParks KindnessMatters

When you walk through a renovated house, the new finishes get your attention first. New counters, new lighting, new floors. They're also the part that tells you the least about the work that was done. In a Calgary listing, "renovated" can mean fresh paint or a house rebuilt from the studs out. Picture two kitchens. One got new cabinets and counters, with everything in the same place. The other had the sink moved and new wiring added. Once the backsplash is up, they can look exactly the same. But only the second one typically needs permits. That doesn't make one good and the other bad. A permit doesn't guarantee good work, and no permit doesn't mean the work was done wrong. It just means there are good questions to ask before you fall for the countertops. I wrote about what "renovated" can really mean, what's worth paying attention to, and three houses with very different stories behind the surface. https://www.woohoo.ca/blog/every-house-has-a-story-buying-a-renovated-home-in-calgary If you're looking at a home and want to talk through what you're seeing, I'm happy to help.

Every Thanksgiving is a good test of a house. The dining table that’s one chair short, the kitchen that fits exactly two cooks, the fridge that can’t hold one more casserole. You find out fast what your home does well and what you’ve been working around. Hope yours holds everyone comfortably today. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.

Asked my son to help me with my real estate campaign. It’s a time consuming activity, but thought it could be something we could do together. I told him I would pay him. I asked how much he wanted, he told me $50/hr. I responded by saying that he should go on piece work, incorporate, get a GST #, and invoice me. He reduced his rate… :)

🏡 Valley Ridge Homeowners, We May Have Already Met Over the past several weeks, I've been out in Valley Ridge knocking on doors and speaking with homeowners about a buyer searching for a bungalow backing onto a green space. The search has now expanded to include 2 storey homes backing onto a green space as well. If your home fits what they're looking for, there may be an opportunity to sell without ever listing your home publicly. That means: ✅ No open houses ✅ No endless showings ✅ No need to make repairs or renovations ✅ No need to have your home looking like a showhome ✅ Flexible possession to fit your timeline These are serious, well qualified buyers who understand that every home has its own character. Minor cosmetic updates aren't a deal breaker. If you've been thinking about selling, or you're simply curious about what your home could be worth in today's market, reach out for a confidential conversation. It may be worth exploring your options before making any decisions. Send a message or call anytime.
