Another fabulous event Cindy.  It’s wonderful that you make this such a successful event every year.  I know it’s a tremendous amount of work but your efforts are much appreciated.

I just saw your community garage sale, and first of all I just want to say that I went to many community garage sales that was organized by a realtor but have not yet seen one Craigslist ad as organized as yours, so well done.

A big thanks to Walker Real Estate for organizing the garage sales in South Surrey. We had lots of traffic and did sell some of our “stuff”.

Thanks, Meryl and Doug

This week, several of Canada’s financial institutions are now able to open FTHB tax-free savings accounts. This account will give First Time Home-Buyers the ability to save up to $40,000. Here are a few of the advantages this will provide your clients:

• Much like an RRSP, contributions to the FTHB tax-free account are tax deductible
• The plan has an $8,000/yr contribution limit
• Unused contributions can be carried forward to subsequent years, as long as the lifetime limit of $40,000 is not exceeded.
• A Home buyer has up to 15 years from their first contribution, or their 71st birthday, whichever comes first, to use the funds for a home purchase
