There are several neat features in this system.... Here is a look at one of those features.
Here are some of the most common questions Home-Buyers have:
Q: Whats the best way to FIND a house in Winnipeg? Go to Open Houses? Looking thru real estate magazines? Search individual agents websites?
A: Magazines are often published once a month, or perhaps once a week. By the time a listing makes it into print, it's most often already sold or accepting offers. Open Houses can be very hectic, and you end up 'rubbing elbows' with lots of other visitors. The Best Way? Work with one REALTOR® who can show you ALL the listings. Someone like, say, me for example. Watch this video.
Q: Why should I work with a REALTOR®. I can find the houses on my own!
A: FINDING them is just a small part of what real estate agents can do for you. Once you find a nice house, I can... Tuesday, March 9, 2010 Advance Notice: New Condo listing coming to St.Vital/RiverParkSouthby Bo Kauffmann on Tue, Mar, 9, 2010 06:26 PM Hi everyone:

Winnipeg REALTORS® have just released their official MLS® sales statistics for the sales during the month of February 2010. Sales and dollar-volumes are up, kept in check only by the lack of 'inventory' on the market.
For dollar volume, for example, this February saw the highest sales-amount for ANY February on record. The $150 million dollars sold surpasses the previous February Record, set in 2008, by a whopping 9%.
Furthermore, 44% of homes sold for "Above List Price", while coincidentally another 44% sold for less than list. (Call me anytime for a one-on-one personal explanation to this statistic). While the number of homes sold in February (712) is lower than past years, this is attributed to the fact that there are not as many listings available. Adding a personal observation, I know several clients who are just in the process of 'fixing' their homes and getting them ready, and I feel that this 'lack of inventory' is coming to an end fairly soon.
The average days on... Friday, February 26, 2010 New property listed in Fort Rouge/Crescentwood/Riverview South West Winnipeg Winnipeg Winnipeg and Area Manitoba $435,000 2920806by Bo Kauffmann on Fri, Feb, 26, 2010 04:29 PM

Sunday, February 21, 2010 Winnipeg Home Buyers: 8 Things you should know when buying a home!by Bo Kauffmann on Sun, Feb, 21, 2010 07:31 AM 8 Things You Must Know When Buying a Home
Winnipeg's Real Estate Market is a hot one, and has been so for the past few years. And whether you’re on the lookout for your first home or you want to buy real estate as an investment option, there are a few ground rules that you must obey if you don’t want to end up being on the losing side of the transaction. While some of them are obvious, there are others that are not so, and this is why people end up with mortgages that are too expensive and/or homes that are completely unsuitable for them. So before you buy a home, here are eight things you should consider:
- Don’t buy the biggest or most expensive house in the neighbourhood, or buy a home and renovate it to become the best looking and most expensive piece of property in the area. If you do, you’re going to have trouble maintaining and/or selling it if the need arises.
- Beware of white elephants like swimming pools, entertainment rooms and wet bars – they may seem like status symbols and co...

Sunday, February 21, 2010 Vlog 15: RIGHT NOW is a great time to sellby Bo Kauffmann on Sun, Feb, 21, 2010 07:10 AM
Hi Everyone:
It's the start of the spring market in 2010 and home-owners are well advised to begin looking at 'listing' their home. Buyers are looking, and there are NOT a lot of homes on the market right now.
For example, in the Meadowood area of St Vital, which has 1784 houses, there are currently only 2 homes for sale. Which is why, RIGHT NOW is an excellent time to put your home on the market.
