We’re back with ‘Spilling The Tea,’ a real estate podcast with two of Royal LePage Wolstencroft’s agents, Kristy Masaro & Shelagh Machek, aaaannnnddddd this time my good friend, Jeremy Pue from White Cloud Productions.
As always, it’s a fun podcast, with two interviewers, an ‘expert’ (in this case, yours truly), and a member of the public (Jeremy), having a story-packed discussion on a variety of topics – this one focusing on media production and some of the amusing stories we’ve had over the years with seller’s ‘knick knacks.’
Below you’ll find the links to the episode, ‘Knick Knack Attack’:
Just yesterday was the season opener of Vancouver Football Club, our local soccer team that play at the Langley Events Centre in the Canadian Premier League.

Well, you can see from the above that I wasn’t always a savvy real estate professional. Before I was in the industry I was making all kinds of real estate mistakes, including purchasing our first home when we’d only planned to buy a loaf of bread (true story).
One of my other mistakes was thinking that attending the Annual General Meeting for our townhome complex strata was a “*YAWN*”. Now that I’ve been in the industry for as long as I have been I’ve learned just how important these meetings can be.
Every week we’re reading strata documents and reminding ourselves and our clients why these meetings can be so important.
– Want an opinion on strata fees? AGM.
– Wondering about any upcoming special levies? AGM.
– Deciding upon a depreciation report? AGM.
– Changing the bylaws? AGM.
Annual General (and Special General) Meetings are incredibly important if you’re a strata property owner. Don’t make the mistake I did by treating them as a bore fest, get involved and active in protecting a huge element of your home and investment.
If you have any questions about your strata property, never hesitate to reach out!
Last year was a very interesting one for us as we saw the number of our clients seeking out condos double, which was primarily reflective of the lower prices providing an opportunity for first-time buyers to get into the market. That’s one of the reasons we have our upcoming seminar on March 12th, there seems to be high demand there right now and as usual a complete absence of education on the topic.
We’ve loved helping first-time buyers over the years, and Kelsey was one of them, hear what she had to say:
“We had such a great experience buying our first home with David. The whole process was new to us, and David helped us to feel confident in the process. He was able to use a great strategy to secure a place that ticked off all of our boxes. We would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a great realtor!” – Kelsey M.
Short, simple, and to the point – thanks, Kelsey! If you’re a home buyer looking to secure a home that ticks your boxes don’t hesitate to reach out!
One of the privileges of having been in the industry for so long now is that I get to sell the homes that our buyers originally fell in love with. There are certain touches in certain homes that just scream ‘buy me!’ and our latest listing in Abbotsford had a number of them. The one that stood out though was this beautiful wooden crossbeam, every time I’ve thought of this home it’s what I think about.
As we approach the sale of this home, we’re trusting that it will grip the home’s next occupants as much as it did our clients. If you’d like to discuss what you can do to your home to add that extra draw, never hesitate to reach out.
