CPH Real Estate Blog

Just before I went on holidays in August I had the pleasure of working with new couple for the first time.  These people have reached the point in their lives when they recognize it’s probably time for a change, the kids are gone, retirement has happened, the yard seems to get bigger every year and living in the country doesn’t have the same appeal it had 20 years ago.

There is no question that there are people and businesses that are suffering right now.

However, there are also people and businesses that are holding their own, some even prospering.

January has been much more hectic than I expected.  Much warmer than the weather !!

ChomzTV has gotten attention from all over North America !! Mostly from people in the industry, but it’s very uplifting (because I have no idea what I’m doing)

If you visited the site, you may have noticed the Twitter Updates on the right side below the intro video. Twitter is a means of micro-blogging – you can post brief (140 character) notes and updates (tweets) and they will be sent out to people who have asked to “follow” you. It’s immediate and very brief. The people who know (who ever they are ) say that Twitter will be the most used and important means of communicating on the web in the next 12 months.

So remember .. you heard it here !!!

It may be worth checking out. You can see my Twitter page here:
