Pink Shirt Day 2018 is here, and at the Bryce Hansen Team Office we take bullying very serious. There is no room for bullying in an office environment, or any other place.

It's amazing how a simple act of kindness can make a difference in the day of a co-worker.  Imagine that you are working at your desk, and suddenly your co-worker announces that she is going to see her favorite barista for a hard earned cup of Joe. Your co-worker takes an extra minute to ensure that everyone working in the office is included when being asked if they would like a coffee. Yes, it is good manners, but it also keeps everyone feeling like they are part of the same team.  It would be terrible if the same 2 co-workers brought coffee for everyone but excluded another.  For…

Embarrassing moments or a conversation item - no matter how you look at it streaked dirty windows are a nuisance. Here are a few tips on how to keep those interior windows sparkling clean:

  • Clean dirty window tracks with a vacuum attachment. If that does not remove all debris, an old toothbrush will work for most jobs.

Spring is just around the corner,bringing the promise of new blossoms, warmer days and longer hours of daylight.  Happy times are ahead for cyclists, runners, gardeners and those who simply enjoy the great outdoors. This is also a great time to clean up your yard and attend to ongoing exterior maintenance of your home. 

Yard Clean Up 

  • Remove Litter and Dead Materials.  During the stormy winter months, debris from trees including old leaves and fallen branches, dog feces and litter from adjacent properties can create an unkempt appearance on an otherwise well groomed yard.  Take advantage of the great weather, get outside for some fresh air and tackle that cleanup.  Before long, new growth and greenery will be appearing and it will make life…

Effective March 15, 2018, the BC Superintendent of Real Estate will be taking away your right to choose your own representation. So how does this impact you, the consumer?   

Mr. Michael Noseworthy, the Superintendent of Real Estate has given directions to the Real Estate Council of B.C. [RECBC] to implement changes that are supposedly for the protection of buyers and sellers. These changes are to be effective on March 15th, 2018.

However, one of the major concerns to realtors is the new rule with respect to what is called "double recusal". Recuse means "to remove oneself from participation to avoid a conflict of interest." Here is an example of how "double recusal" could apply if you are going to sell your house.
