Welcome home to this GORGEOUS 1/2 duplex 2 Storey situated within walking distance from shopping and public transportation. As you enter the front foyer, you’ll be in AWE of the OPEN and UNIQUE Floor Plan. From the 9 ft CEILINGS, and all the LED pot lights to the TRENDY LIGHT LAMINATE flooring, you’ll be planning where all YOUR furniture should go when you move in. The main floor boasts a BEAUTIFUL kitchen with GORGEOUS DARK cabinets, UPGRADED stainless steel appliances, HUGE CORNER PANTRY and GRANITE counter tops. Upstairs, you’ll enjoy the SPACIOUS BONUS ROOM, Laundry area, two generous sized kids rooms and a LARGE Master Bedroom with 4pc Ensuite. What makes this home even more unique is the large UPPER FLOOR PATIO, where you can enjoy the sunny outdoor weather in your very own private space. What more can you ask for? Well how about a DOUBLE ATTACHED GARAGE with a driveway long enough to fit two more vehicles on it. Act Quickly, as this GEM won’t last.
Below is a statement from RECA regarding real estate agent services as an essential service (issued March 28, 2020):
The Government of Alberta has deemed real estate agent services, and services that provide access to credit, stocks or other forms of liquidity or finance to individuals, groups or businesses to be essential services. This exempts licensed real estate and mortgage professionals from restrictions during the COVID-19 outbreak, as long as they follow all public health guidelines, including physical distancing measures.
This means brokerages will not need to shut down operations at this time. Albertans rely on these professional services, and brokerages are encouraged to remain open.
"RECA's mandate is first and foremost to protect the public, and it remains our highest priority," said Duane Monea, Administrator of the Real Estate Council of Alberta. "By being deemed an essential service, real estate and mortgage professionals have been given a great responsibility in assisting Albertans during this crisis. I am confident the industry will meet the challenge, and adapt their business practices in order to protect the health and safety of the public."
Firstly, professionals must ensure they explain to their clients the impacts of COVID-19 in their real estate or mortgage transaction, and discuss all options together with their advantages and disadvantages, so their clients can make informed decisions. Professionals can be a reliable source of information on minimizing any health risks involved in trading in real estate or dealing in mortgages at this time. Professionals should point clients to RECA's COVID-19 for Real Estate Consumers' website.
Secondly, professionals must also assess their own risk, and remain vigilant to their health, the health of their clients, and the health of their colleagues. They must take steps to minimize their health risks and stop the spread of COVID-19.
"Real estate and mortgage professionals must follow the direction and guidance of Alberta's Chief Medical Officer of Health to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19," continued Monea. "Professionals must have honest discussions with their clients about the risks during a real estate transaction or mortgage deal, and must explore alternatives to minimize that risk."
Review the industry-focused COVID-19 and Real Estate webpage for information on discussions with sellers and buyers, along with FAQs and specific information for mortgage brokers, on amending contracts, and for residential and commercial property managers.
"I also want to thank the various trade associations for the work they are doing to reduce risk, in particular the Alberta Real Estate Association in respect to the holding of open houses," said Monea. "Open houses pose an unreasonable risk to real estate professionals and the public."
RECA will continue to update all industry professionals and the public if any further directives from the government will impact the industry, and offer advice on how to continue offering the high level of service the Alberta public expects.
RECA will continue operations as the Government of Alberta has deemed all enforcement and regulatory services as essential.
