Andrew gave us an update on what is happening in the real estate markets across Canada with some highlights about the market in the Greater Vancouver area. He explained the system of Realtors’ testing and exams and the recent withdrawal of Professional Status of realtors for neglect in self-regulation and member discipline. He also explained the issues of market pressures due to large influx of “Foreign Buyers”, that is those who do not have residency status for Income Tax purposes. This has led to the implementation of a new tax on those buyers. He also discussed some agencies who indulged in Flipping of not just the properties, but the sales agreements to multiple tiers of buyers without the additional gain to sellers, with increased profiteering by Sales Agents. Firdosh summarized the talk and offered a Vote of Thanks to Andrew as a token of our appreciation. Refreshments were served to all of Tea/Coffee, Pop, Samosas, Jalaybees & assorted fruits.

Topic: Important Financial and Life Lessons learned from “The Richest Man In Babylon” Taking some of the valuable lessons from this best-selling book “The Richest Man In Babylon” by George S. Clason, Rob explained how the right knowledge, guidance and actions along with personal determination, can help you develop sound financial plans for your business, yourself and your family. He stressed on what the book promoted as the discipline of SAVING and then making wise investments with those savings. Rob did this by explaining the importance of systematic savings, asset accumulation, access to capital, minimizing taxation, protecting what you have, and leaving a legacy for your family and causes that were dear to you. He guides his clients towards successful financial decisions. Rob also introduced and briefly reviewed his new book titled, “PAY CHEQUES & PLAY CHEQUES: RETIREMENT INCOME SOLUTIONS FOR CANADIANS.” He proceeded to give that book to Homi as appreciation for introducing him to WZCC.
