Although I'm not ready to pull the trigger in Edmonton,  I like the buildings around Jasper and my second choice is Whyte (82nd) - Old Strathcona area.

I left on the 3rd day with 3 houses lined up to offer on if the first choice didnt work out. 

For now, I've told him that I guess we have no choice but to see what the trend is over the next few months and see how it goes. 

Flipping houses is a good choice with apartments being a close second but are different.  

I don't know if it's much help but as far as an agent goes, I'll be trying some out as I move houses now, and paying attention to our relationship for later choice of agent.

@Isaiah WilliamsAs @Jana Cain said, you'll want to make different choices based on what you want to do.

Pre-qualify the OfferHas anyone heard of running prospective buyers through a seller's choice of a pre-determined bank to get a solid review of their credit?

If you can't handle $100,503 and it must be $100,500 in order for you to not delay your clients closings then perhaps what you really need to do is re-evaluate either your math, software, business model and/or career choice.

There's a similar choice for the buyer. 

@Albert Ng@Joe Stretch is a also a great choice!
