Hire a real estate lawyer for $600-1000 to do the deal and sell it yourself. Ultimately that's who does the real work not the realtor. I sold my last house in 2002 in about 8 hrs. I had it evaluated by 3 realtors then took 3% off the price. Guess what? I ended up getting 5% more than I wanted. It was a good market though to sell in at the time. I don't know how many homes are available in Calgary right now but if it's anything like Edmontons market it may be tough to get top dollar right now without a lot of marketing. $20000 does goes a long way in doing your own advertising though.

This works great too. Best to wash it first. You just never know where it's been.......

Rockets. My kid hates them. What a deal.

Found it http://www.mwdaily.net/2007/10/andy-samberg-iran-so-far.html

Was part of the intent within modifying the royalty scheme to slow the economy down? I have heard reference to this from analysts but have yet to here that this was part of the governments intent. Anyone know?

There will probably be a need for an outhouse boy so your in....

I'm glad I posted this as it is a least a good dry run for the day when a potentially excellent deal arises and some members may want to invest. For curiousity, if this property was say $500,000 would there be 10 people out there willing to invest $50000 if it was within a couple of hours of Calgary and abide by a set of rules such as Castuserraticus has outlined?

Harps, The lake was stocked by the owner. He purchased the fish from Ackenberry Trout Farms. The Google image shows where the owner built a road through to the island then back to the opposite side. The entire lake as seen on the Google image is on the property. There is no public access to the lake. If I were to invest in a piece of land such as this I would do it under the guidelines that Sundancefisher has detailed. Your right about subdividing, that would be dumb.

The land is zoned AG. 3-5 lots could possibly be developed at one end of the lake according to the people I spoke to. With AG zoning I think you can do whatever you please with the lake. Farmers fill them in all the time. The guy did build a road across it to the island. Yes/No???

= ONE BIG HEADACHE

Latest I heard is Ralphie is going to join Sheila Copps as the new Herbal Magic spokesperson. Maybe he'll get his name on some aromatherapy candles and essentail oils.........

Yah but a guy would then have to learn a second language, maybe Spanish too.. This house looks nice. $444,000, about what mines worth in Edmonton. Makes me want to puke... and you can write your payments off in the States.. http://www.viprealtyinfo.com/featured-listings.php

Suncor is apparantly down 6% since the announcement. (54 minutes)

Well it all sounds like doom and gloom. Time to pack up and move to Texas.

I'm in...

30 acre lake, 30 ft deep, aerated, 2500 rainbows in 2005, 300 this year. I thought about it but just couldn't seem to come up with an extra 800 grand. I did talk to the owner. He built a road through to an island and across to the other side. He put culverts in so the fish could swim back and forth. There is camping on the island.

If you can see the stars 500 billion light years away with your naked eye in daytime and hear a pin drop on the moon then get the monster cables otherwise don't waste your money. By a Sage instead.

I was going to mention that but I didn't think it would be in good taste to insult any Calgarians.

Hey if this guy can run California I'm sure Colbert could easily run the world.

I feel for you Glenbow, it must be lonely being at the bottom! Now back to Rickr's self absorption...........

My apologies Wayner, I am deeply sorry about interrupting your thread on self-absorption. I will get this thread back on track for you. Again, my deepest apologies. Your skill as a hockey player is immeasurable. This is apparent by the fact you took out the women early in the event and then proceeded to thump the inebriated men later on. You obviously need not strive in life to reach your goals as they come naturally. You are the epitome of a man. I too, if I were you, would want to spend the rest of my life with myself. To know yourself, you must love yourself, for it is only when you are filled with love that you can share this gift with the world, which you have done so pleasantly within this thread. Your #1 Fan, Weedy

Me weaken? You've got to be kidding. Actually Phtobucket didn't "approve" of that image and zapped it. The image disappearing in no way had to do with the **kicking Edmonton received last night from Calgary. (Or BC since we're on the topic!) Don't you all just love "The City Of Champions".
