An Epson rep sent me an email a few weeks back asking me if I would like to have a free printer in exchange of a review. Not a bad deal, I thought, I get to test drive (and keep) one of their latest model and write about it at the same time. Which it kinda takes care of two things at once, since: My other printer is about 3 years old. - Still good, just a little *on the slow side*, due to old … [Read more...]
Video Blog: Episode One
July 18, 2011 By 7 Comments
Hi everyone! Last week we were quietly preparing the videos for the next few updates, so there were no articles published. I'm sure you understand. I was busy trying to figure out the video editing thingy... And finally, here it is. This is the first one I shot exclusively for the blog readers, and, there is another one (soon to be published here) I did for McGill Real Estate, you know? That … [Read more...]
Where did your email message go?
September 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
August was a slow month for emails, I thought. Usually we'll get a good amount of message from the blog. Our readers like to keep in touch, whether it is to ask questions, to follow up with their comments on a post I've written or simply to say hello. I noticed a big drop in messages lately, and at first I thought it was because people were on vacation and away from computers, or not too … [Read more...]
New Zoocasa Application for Yahoo! Canada
September 6, 2010 By 1 Comment
It has been two years since we last wrote about Zoocasa. Back then, they were just starting out and I do believe they were still on Beta. A lot has changed since then. It turns out that Zoocasa, owned by Rogers Communications, developed iPhone app (home search on your phone? great!) AND now Yahoo! Canada has teamed up with Zoocasa as their Real Estate Home Search. They have just launched a … [Read more...]
Google Maps the Next Real Estate Search Engine?
January 15, 2010 By 7 Comments
I guess it was just a matter of time before Google decided to monetize on the home search queries. A lot of real estate related websites are now using google maps (in the form of a plugin) as part of their listings, and so far is working out just fine. I've noticed more and more properties appearing on google maps - or Google Real Estate 2.0 as they are calling it- since this last summer, and … [Read more...]
Now you can add a video comment!

In addition to text comments, you can now find a new comments feature on the Montreal Real Estate Blog. Over the last couple of days I've tested the new plugin and it seems to work fine. The only drawback is that the audio can be a little off sync. Maybe it's my computer. I'm not sure. The video comments is powered by Seesmic. If you have an account with them, it will link to your profile or … [Read more...]
This Blog is Getting International Recognition
March 24, 2009 By 7 Comments
I wanted to share a little something with you... Last Saturday I had the opportunity to talk about the blog and the use of social media with a radio station in Venezuela. Some of you may know, I was born and raised there (that would explain a lot all my grammar errors, eh?), so many of my contacts online are also from down south. It was through a blogger-friend (thank you Croncho!) that I got … [Read more...]
