Wow... December 1st! Officially the time of year when it’s acceptable to have Baileys and coffee at 9am!! I’ve been waiting all year for you!

SOLD 163 - 3500 Burke Promenade Congrats to my clients J & K on purchasing their brand new townhouse by @polygonhomes Kentwell in Coquitlam. I couldn’t be more excited for you both. ... I met J & K over a year ago and the only thing they were sure about was their budget, everything else was up in the air. I showed them many home options, different ages of homes and in many different areas. They finally decided that living in Burke Mountain was something they really wanted, especially with the new Burke Village site just steps from their new home. I was able to negotiate for them a decorating allowance and for the washer & dryer to be included in the sale price too. 2,325 sq ft 4 bed/ 4 bath Looking over the green belt Decorating allowance Washer & Dryer included I can’t wait to pass over the keys next Spring and to see how you use that extra decorating allowance! Thank you for your loyalty and for trusting me to help you find a home that you will love for years to come. Looking to purchase your dream property or to upgrade your current one? Let’s connect!

Today we take a moment to remember those Veterans that sacrificed their lives in trade of our freedom, not only Canadian soldiers but all soldiers across the world. We are forever grateful and we will not forget the ultimate sacrifice they have made. #todayweremember #lestweforget #remeberanceday
