Royal LePage Access Garage Sale Shelter FoundationMy, my, how the time flies! We can't believe we are celebrating five fantastic years at Royal LePage Access here in Salmon Arm.

And what better way to mark the occasion than with our fifth annual garage sale on Saturday as part of the amazing Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, a national program that helps raise funds in support of shelters for women who are abused and victims of violence.

The foundation is supported by Royal LePage brokers and agents across the country. To date the foundation has raised more than $24 million in support of more than 200 women's shelters and national partners.

Happy New Year often means happy new taxes and fees we all have to pay. Along with that comes the tax assessment notice from BC Assessment. Many homeowners in BC are seeing significant increases in the assessed value of their properties and getting worried about what that could mean at tax time.  

But wait….tax assessments are just that. It’s the estimated market value of your property as of July 1, 2016 with an adjustment for physical condition as of October 31, 2016. Will this result in a higher tax bill?

Every day, abused women along with their children are seeking refuge from an abusive relationship with their spouse. The need to keep facilities like the S.A.F.E Society financially viable has never been more important.

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is supported by communities, real estate agents and real estate brokerages across Canada. Here in Salmon Arm, we have two main fundraising avenues here at Royal LePage Access Real Estate.  

The first and more public event is the National Garage Sale for Shelter. This year marks the 8th year for…

View of waterfront cabinShuswap Lake, once a rugged area visited only by regular devotees, has rapidly evolved into a top seasonal getaway destination and is widely viewed as the pinnacle of out-of-city relaxation in style and comfort. Highly desirable, prime real estate is scattered bountifully throughout the region and a Shuswap cabin or cottage has become a hot commodity that signifies that elusive, idyllic and well-rounded British Columbian lifestyle.

In many remote places where this happens, we see an upsurge in lavish, extravagant properties that cater toward maximum indulgence and shift the atmosphere of the region to one of opulence and exclusivity that is virtually inaccessible. Strangely, Shuswap lakefront real estate has been decidedly resistant to such a radical…
