The MREBlog Welcomes Sonia and her Montreal Food Reviews

Sonia Samji

Did you know that in Montreal we have more restaurants per capita than most North American cities? With the only exception of New York. At one point, I started a restaurants reviews section called Eatery. In all honesty, as much as I wanted to continue to write about food, my attention got always re-directed to Real Estate Advice. So that was it for the restaurant posts. Lucky me, I … [Read more...]

Pssst: Did you get my flyer?

DeyaBautista-flyer2011.png

It is now thursday, and if my calculations are right and you live in (one of ) the areas where I advertise, you should have received my flyer on your mailbox. If you are wandering what it is, the one side looks like this... The other side will change monthly, with a different message. I've never been much of a flyer advertiser, but this time I've decided to concentrate on the areas … [Read more...]

Services you can’t do without

201110112140.jpg

(Chez Bobette on Rue Duluth, just east of Rue St Hubert) This laundromat saved my life. Ok, maybe it didn’t go as far as saving my life. But I have to share with you this wonderful service, specially if you live in the plateau and you’re too busy to take care of your own clothes. Yes, one can be that busy. Back in the day when I had just started in real estate, I had another job (yes, two!) … [Read more...]

Friday Fun: On toilets and Flower Arches

For the record, this is not a decoration tip, neither we are trying to set a new trend. I found the bathroom already decorated with (fake) flowers on (what it looks like) a wedding arch, in a gas station on the way to New York. Whose idea was it? We don't know. But we do know that whoever came up with it must have been a bit bitter about marriage. Either that or he/she has an inclination for … [Read more...]

Friday Fun: Buy a Trailer, or don’t. We don’t care.

Last tuesday, CTV published and interesting article "Trailer parks a sweet spot in real estate". It made me think, if there's a boom with the trailer park market, then all we need is more trailer owners. Right? With the average home price rising each year, it's becoming less and less affordable to buy your dream home outright, and it seems, the only hope to ever own our own place will be … [Read more...]

Video: The Manhattan Bridge Shows Some Moves.

I've seen this video twice over the weekend and it still creeps me out a little. You can see the movement on the bridge each time the subway passes through. These types of bridges are supposed to be flexible, but to see it in action, it just a little freaky. I enjoy road trips to New York- about twice a year- Believe me when I tell you: next time I'm crossing this bridge, I'll be thinking about … [Read more...]
