QUOTE (DaveRhydderch @ Oct 3 2010, 02:07 PM) I, as a Realtor, am actually excited for these changes. I find myself ranting more and more against some of the bigger name Realtors. They simply don`t do that good of a job to justify what they make. More importantly, they don`t do their job well...

The exeption to the real estate act that relates to a person trading in real estate does not apply to a person who disposes of real estate owned by that person or in which that person has a substantial interest in (i.e. JV). In my particular case, as a REALTOR I do have the right to sell my...

QUOTE (JimWhitelaw @ Sep 18 2010, 02:42 PM) Hi David, give me a call if you like. I`d be happy to meet you for a coffee and walk you through the RTO process to help you understand how to structure your deal. Thanks Jim. I will call you tomorrow.

Thank you for that great advice. I guess what I am really looking for is someone experienced in RTO that will partner with me to structure the deal. My alternative is structuring this deal myself but RTO is not my speciality. I`m not sure if this is typical but any help from the community would...

I have two properties in Fort Saskatchewan that are currently being rented. Both tenants have requested that they would like to rent to own. Can the REIN community please recommend a RTO company that I can partner up with? I would prefer that they are from Edmonton and have atleast 3-5 years...

I had a similar problem with my house. After countless phone calls, we got fed up and threaten to report this to Global trouble shooter and the BBB. They came the next day and fixed it.

Thank you for all your advices. I will investigate further and refer to the bylaws.

I have a side by side duplex which I`ve been receiving several noise complaints from my new tenant about his neighbor`s music playing too loud during the day. I`ve tried to rectify the problem by requesting the other tenant to keep the volume low which he has agreed to. It has been two months...

QUOTE (jodijackson @ Jul 5 2010, 09:59 AM) Hi all, for my first purchase as a REIN member I bought a really bad house in Ritchie. It was painted up nice but I was talked out of the inspection at the height of the boom and due to my inexperience/excitement I went ahead with the deal. I have put...
