With the interest rates at an all time low and prices on the decline, properties continue to sell in the Greater Vancouver Area.  My client was lucky enough to find a really funky loft conversion downtown on Beatty St.  right near Gastown.  The building has 57 units in total and has some really unique and cool features.   The units have exposed concrete floors, high ceilings and the building has maintained alot of it’s character.   There are three units left.  If you are interested in more information, please visit 540beatty.com

My brother, my sister and I were featured in this week’s Burnaby Newsleader Newspaper.  They found our Sun Run challenge interesting enough to do a full article with a great picture.  Click here for the article.  If you would like to donate, please send me an email at wesleybehan@gmail.com

Let me know what you think in the comments, be ye Star Wars fans or not.

As some of you may know, the annual Vancouver Sun Run is fast approaching.  It takes place April 19th this year and a large turnout is expected once again.

My older brother and younger sister (yes I’m in the middle) have challenged me to a race.  Seeing as they easily completed last year’s Vancouver half marathon (26km) it likely won’t be much of a “challenge” (to them anyway).  I think the “challenge” was for me to actually show up, compete and finish the race.  So far, it’s been really good for me.  I have been taking my training seriously and I am looking forward to the run.

I wish I could say that I expect to finish 3rd place in my family, but I’m pretty sure that my mom who is taking part in the sun run for the 18th straight year is likely to whoop me too.

With my “large” (no pun intended) disadvantage, we decided to make things more interesting.  Each of my siblings and I have chosen respective charities to raise pledges for leading up to the event, as a challenge to see which of us could raise the most pledges for a great cause.  This “challenge”, I may have a chance at, but I need your help.   I have chosen “B.C. Children’s Hospital” and “The Children’s Miracle Network”.  RE/MAX has raised over $85 million dollars for this charity over the years, so it was an easy choice.

If you are participating in the Sun Run as well, and you would like to help in raising some pledges, let me know and I will get you a pledge form asap.

If you are intersted in making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network and making my day, you can mail a cheque directly to my office :

c/0 B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation

Mail to – RE/MAX Central (attention Wesley) #1-5050 Kingsway Burnaby, B.C. V5H 4C2 – A tax receipt will be provided.

Thank you for your support.  If you can not afford to make a pledge, you can always come out to the run on the 19th and give us your support.  I will need all the help I can get starting around the half way mark=P

This past weekend at the RE/MAX Awards conference in Victoria, my name was selected as the winner of golf passes to the wicked new golf course at Tobiano in Kamploops B.C., thanks to Dick Pemberton of RE/MAX in Kamploops.   Earlier this past summer, my boys from guys on golf payed a visit to Tobiano, so I’m really looking forward to finally having a chance to play there.  As if this didn’t make me happy enough, my partner Heiner then gave me the passes he won to ‘The Golf Club at The Rise” in Vernon B.C. A course designed by Freddie Couples (one of my golf heroes).  Sounds like a great weekend of golf to me.
