Grateful that my dad is well taken care of at 97!I am so happy that my old dad is able to live in his own home in Vancouver, and he has good care and good caregivers.  Since I live on Maui, it's not so easy to just pop in and help out.  He used to spend a lot of time with us here on Maui, but now traveling isn't so easy.The health system in Canada has been great lately when he needed to be hospitalized for a whole month due to problems that are typical for an old man at this stage of his life.  I was up there the whole time and got a good look at the level of care and treatment, and can say I have no complaints.  He was in good hands the whole time, even during surgery.  The best part was... no crippling bill!  Shout out to Mt. St. Joseph Hospital which is part of St. Paul's Hospital - ... 11/20/2019

I'm on an extended trip to Canada which brings me to Thanksgiving which is just around the corner.  It feels like winter is also around the corner up here with the maple leaves falling to the ground and a chill at night.  There's already snow in some parts! I'm missing my warm Maui island and thinking back to harvest from my garden in other times.  They say it's still hot there and I should be thankful to be somewhere cool.  I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!Either way, I'm thankful for food on the table, a warm home, family and friends. HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM VANCOUVER CANADAThanks for reading my Maui blog...Buying or selling real estate on Maui?  That's what I do.  Let me help YOU.Georgie Hunter R(S) e-Pro, Hawai'i Life Real Estate Brokers26 Baldwin A... 10/12/2019

Now you see it, now you don't - hiding in plain sight.  I love how this "box" was camouflaged into the surroundings so it wouldn't have to look ugly.  Taken in Vancouver BC, which is a big city that knows how to put its best face forward.  Every season brings out beautiful colors and textures, and the changing landscape is wonderful to behold.  People in this city really love to garden and they take pride in the surroundings.  Maybe we could all learn something from a simple act such as this.Thanks for reading my Maui blog...Buying or selling real estate on Maui?  That's what I do.  Let me help YOU.Georgie Hunter R(S) e-Pro, Hawai'i Life Real Estate Brokers127 Hana Hwy. #G, Paia HI 96779E-mail or call/text: 808 283-0635 06/14/2018

The most important step in selling your house is preparing it and getting it "market ready." It should look like a show home when you are ready to put that "for sale" sign out front. Many people overlook this step and it can end up costing you thousands of dollars.  The first thing you want to do is de-personalize the home. Family pictures and heirlooms should come down and be stored. Most buyers can't see past the "clutter" and they will have a more pleasant experience and will be able to see themselves in the house the more plain and simple the home is decorated.  Next is to completely declutter the home. This is a perfect time to purge and get rid of things that you don't need and might not want to take with you to the next home. Those books on the shelf, take them down and either do... 01/18/2017

In my EKAN home inspection business areas of North Vancouver and West Vancouver, many of the pre-1970’s homes have had major renovations. Whenever I encounter a reno and especially an addition to or extension of the floor area, I always encourage my clients to visit the municipal offices and do some data mining. It’s important to know that the renovation was done in compliance to code requirements and with a competent contractor. The municipality will have on-file the following permits: building, electrical, plumbing, heating, drainage and sprinklers. In addition, there should be building plans available.  The knowledge gained from the above data review may not make-or-break any deal, but it can provide a buyer with risk considerations of future issues (such as latent defects or faults)... 10/11/2016

Have you ever wanted to buy an ‘off the grid’, cliff-side waterfront property, with spectacular views, live in it year-round and commute daily to the office? Well that’s exactly what a recent client of mine intends to do and needed a property inspection on Passage Island BC to assess the condition.  In this particular case, power is from solar cells, water is from rainwater catchment, effluent is handled by the septic system, fire protection is from an on-site, rain-filled plastic tank, heating is fuelled by both wood and propane. So for those of us who are up to the adventure, here are the top 3 issues.#1 Not Winterized. The recreational property may never have been built to be operational during the cold winter months. Typically the cottage owner goes through the annual winterizing ri... 07/28/2016

In a seller’s market, where offers are made with no ‘subject to’ conditions and with multiple bidders, where does a home inspection fit in?  For many buyers, it's just ommitted and forgotten as they see no way to include it and still make to deal. Since the buyer is in a competition for a property, caution is not easily exercised as getting into the market before valuations increase further is the prime motivation. However here are some tips for prudent buyers to consider.  Offers with no ‘subject to’ conditions.  First, partner with a home inspector, who will be available on short notice.  Second, the inspector accompanies you to the open house for a limited opinion. Third, the inspection and report is completed after possession.  Note that the home inspection industry is regulated by ... 06/29/2016
