After years of being a devoted mother to her children, Liza Kaufman decided, on a whim, to accompany her friend to a real estate course.

"My kids had graduated, so I thought why not take the course, it would help me in my own real estate investments," Kaufman said. "But I never imagined getting to where I am today."

She quickly excelled in the program and has since become an internationally recognized expert in marketing luxury…

Desirable Dorval retreat – Waterside Two-storey house retains its Victorian-era opulence

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 at 1:30pm. 1410 Views, 0 Comments.

The arrival of the railroad to Dorval in 1855 was the catalyst that turned a sparsely populated rural area into a summer playground for many of Montreal's wealthy families, mostly English-speaking.

At that time, to have a country residence in the West Island was a status symbol, available only to a handful of Montrealers rich enough to afford one. The well-off were attracted to the idyllic country setting along the shores of LacSt. Louisasasummer retreat, a refreshing escape from the stifling conditions of 19th-century Montreal. Although many of these former cottage residences have disappeared or have become encased by modern development, losing that spacious feeling, many still retain their Victorian splendour.

One such example is the former summer…

Connell, Michibata entering hall of fame

Real estate just as profitable as tennis was for Connell

Grant Connell was a media darling, or as big a media darling as you can be in the small pond that is Canadian tennis.

The former world No. 1 in doubles and three-time Wimbledon doubles runner-up had the mischievous self-assurance and bashfulness to charm women, while brimming with the kind of irreverence and jock humour that appealed to men.

Now 44, and 13 years after leaving the game, the married Vancouver father of five has become as successful in business as he was in tennis, something of a feat among former professional athletes.

“Ecstatic,” Connell says, regarding his career as an agent for Sotheby’s International Realty Canada in Vancouver. “I’m lucky to have found…
