Although at O’Neill Real Estate we have now over five years experience doing video blogs, we are certainly not pro videographers. When you engage us to market your property, we hire professional videographers and and graphic designers to prepare and publish on-line video tours that put your property in its best light. For our own video blogs, we do shoot and prepare them ourselves, so they are raw, real-time, un-edited and give you a real sense what we are like in person. Warts and all. Life is too short to work with people you do not respect and get along with.

Young marijuana plants at a medical marijuana growing operation.

Several readers have asked whether you can evict a tenant who is smoking marijuana for medicinal purposes, or if you can refuse to rent to someone who tells you that they have a license to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes.

A few B.C. court cases in B.C. shed some light on the issue. The short answer is that it depends. Bill Spelcham owned a condo which he rented to Ryan Buchanan who had a license to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes… Read More

Paul Ford, who agreed to have solar panel put on the roof of his house, poses for a photo at his home in Mississsauga, Ontario, Canada.

When Mississauga resident Paul Ford opened the door to a salesman in the spring of 2010, he had never considered putting solar panels on his roof. He was surprised when the pitchman told him that not only would the panels not cost him a dime, but the roof would make him money.

“I said, ‘You’re kidding,’ and the conversation just went from there,” Mr. Ford says… Read More

Many Torontonians were aghast when Loblaws announced it would transform Maple Leaf Gardens into a supermarket. Turns out it was one of the best things to happen to this part of town in decades. The Star's Christopher Hume explains. Video by Randy Risling

Maple Leaf Gardens never looked so good, nor smelled so sweet. With the NHL out and Loblaws in, the old Carlton Street Cavern has been reborn as downtown’s newest supermarket.

Right on cue, the line-up assembled Tuesday night in anticipation of Wednesday morning’s grand opening. By the time the waiting ended, Loblaws was already an urban fixture. That’s how long it took… Read More

Like a great many apartment and condo dwellers, James has a noisy neighbour.

Q: The condo owners above me are constantly making loud noises. They drag things across the floor, play very loud music and there’s often thumping noises. I have called the office and complained to the manager but nothing has changed. I have even called security. What can I do to gain back some peace and quiet, besides selling my condo?

A: The Condominium Act of Ontario requires the corporation’s board of directors to enforce noise rules and bylaws. Doing nothing is not an option. Start keeping a log of the times and dates you are bothered by significant noise… Read More

OTTAWA — Canadian homeowners are doing a good job of paying off their mortgages early, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., which released its third-quarter results Tuesday.

While mortgage repayments can be spread out over 30 years, the CMHC reports that the average amortization period for mortgages insured by the national housing agency is under 25 years, and the loan-to-value ratio of those homes was 80% or less. As of Sept. 30, the outstanding loan amount per household for all homeowner loans was $159,740, slightly above the figure for the previous year… Read More
