Happy Friday!! I’m sitting in a Starbucks in Burnaby – near my home which we’re putting on the market next week. The painter is there right now getting it looking fresh and clean again.

The appraiser has gone in and we’re getting it financed at the new value – which came in almost $100,000 higher than what we paid for it so we’re pretty happy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
This year is already kicking off to a tremendous start and I hope yours is too. We’ve been spending a lot of time chatting one on one with Rev N You readers to help them put plans in place to make 2011 their best year yet and it’s been a great experience. Both of us have had some wonderful conversations with people and we’ve definitely found some serious action takers that are ready to grab 2011 by ears and take it where they want to go. WE LOVE IT.
