Maria Mak. Burnaby Realtor - It's time ...

It's time to pick up my suitcase and be a vagabond...

So close yet so far,

Out of focus,

Estrayed,

Lost in the clouds of my high nine,

Attainable 

Or unattainable,

Disturbed,

Or unInterrupted,

Getting foggier and foggier,

Fading away in the waves of our foolish dreams.

I will marry you in the favonian wind .

Let the albatross be our wedding pastor ,

And all the sea turtles be our ocean guests.

Witnessing the true love of a century of miss Piggy and mr Froggy.

Congrats!

Maria Mak. Burnaby Realtor - How a New Home Warranty check can save you (or cost you) lots

Attn: Strata Councils, Property Managers & Realtors

It's come to our attention that many folks are generally unaware of their upcoming Home Warranty Expiry Dates.

For example: Many strata corporations in the lower mainland are nearing their 15 month or 5-year (building envelope) New Home Warranty expiration date and don't even realize it. They will need to take immediate action to ensure all required repairs are adequately documented to all the authorities before the builder's obligation expires. If they delay, they will have to pay to repair construction defects out of their own pockets... To learn more please read this article:

Maria Mak. Burnaby Realtor - New oil tank removal regulations

Underground oil tanks are still a significant concern in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland because of the risk of environmental contamination, but also the legal liability to homeowners and Realtors®.

Did you know that as of May 1, 2014, the City of Vancouver has released new regulations for all underground tank removals: 

1. Soil sampling is now mandatory,
2. A new report template must be used, and
3. A qualified environmental professional must now sign off.

These are crucial steps in properly evaluating the environmental conditions of a property during the tank removal and in preparing a report for certifying the property for environmental compliance.
