Went through the Canadian real estate site today. This is an excellent site www.mls.ca which lists all the properties for sale in Canada. You just select the location and price range and see all properties currently on the market.
In the UK we don’t have anything like this as you have to visit lots of real estate agents, or estate agents as we call them to find a property. Agents will only show you a property if it is advertised by them. In Canada you find an agent and they show you any property that you are interested in. Excellent.
Saw lots of houses that look the sort of thing we want. When we visit in April we will be meeting up with our realtor and visit some. You get much more for your money in Canada than here in the UK. Cannot wait for the trip, it will make Canada seem that little bit closer.
Not that I am counting!!
We have now booked the hotel at Toronto airport, the Sheraton Gateway actually on site which will be good as we are landing in the evening, staying overnight at the hotel and then picking our hire car up the following morning from the airport. So won’t have to leave the terminal.
We have booked the hotel in London too. The Marriott Residence Inn. We stayed here last year and it is very good as you get a suite with living room, dining area, office area with wireless high speed internet and full kitchen, so you can cook your own stuff and save some money not eating out all the time. Of course there is also a king bedroom and bathroom.
Can’t wait. Will spend the next few weeks researching where we will visit, who we will see, when etc so that we can hopefully sort out all the things we need to whilst we are there.
Hopefully we won’t need to go back again before we land for good!
