						<p>This 2-storey Canyon Springs home offers ample space and comfort. The many updates over the years, inside and out, speak of the owner's dedication to maintaining and improving the space. The quiet, family oriented neighbourhood contrasts its proximity to virtually every amenity, all within walking distance: schools, parks/trails, Coquitlam Centre, library, transit, and aquatic centre among others. While the kitchen, carpets and mouldings have recently been updated inside, distinctive landscaping and a luxurious arboured deck enhances the use and enjoyment of the outside. The upstairs features 3 beds, 2 full baths, open living-dining area with vaulted ceilings and modern kitchen and appliances. The downstairs includes one bed, large rec room, full bath, laundry and double garage.</p>]]></description>

<span lang="EN-US">As in&nbsp;other professions, realtors are answerable to the Canadian Real Estate Council for infractions<span> </span>and there is a definite code of conduct to follow.<span>&nbsp; </span>However, although realtors work under umbrella organizations such as Sutton or Remax, they are&nbsp;basically free agents&nbsp;as they are self employed.<span>&nbsp; </span></span></h2>
<h2><span lang="EN-US"><span>&nbsp;</span>What then does professionalism consist of?</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In my opinion, it means holding yourself<span>&nbsp; </span>to high standards &ndash; for honesty, ethics, knowledge and guidance.<span>&nbsp; </span>Being honest means you give all the information to a buyer which could affect his buying decision. It means<span>&nbsp; </span>educating and digging for information, particularly in the area of stratas. It means encouraging sellers to disclose defects in their properties so the buyers cannot have a comeback later.<span>&nbsp; </span>Remind sellers that they will be buyers too. It also means telling the seller the truth regarding how much their home is really worth. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Ethics means that you cooperate with your fellow agents especially when you have an offer on your own listing or are buying a property for yourself. It means treating senior clients or the disabled with extra care and, where appropriate,&nbsp;involving their children or guardians in the decision-making process. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Knowledge means continuously educating yourself on new issues in the evolving market. It means educating yourself and in turn your client<span> </span>about market conditions in a particular locale. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Guidance means learning<span>&nbsp;</span>about<span> </span>and listening to the client's needs and wants. Helping them stay on budget. Helping them manage their emotions! Educating them about the whole process and particularly the total costs involved in buying and selling. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Finally a professional person must never relentlessly pursue people and gracefully accept&nbsp;when someone chooses not to work with you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
