Canada is currently our new post and my husband's assignment is working at the Embassy...Anyhow, I couldn't help but giggle when I read your blog concerning the Happy Realtor... The Embassy set up an appointment for us so that we can look at couple of units for rentals at 700 Sussex...Not knowing what to expect , we were greeted by Cindy S. who was close to a hour late.. Immediately, my husband was sooooooo offended by her behavious and manners.One can tell immediately that she revels in flaunting her nouveau-rich status lifestyle and making people feel small or something... btw, what' s the deal with her name dropping...she mentioned so many times about how the mayor lives in the building..as if we care less. anyways, long story short, she also grabbed me by the arm and took me down to the Turkish shop as well. I found that strange and peculiar at the time, but kind of shrugged it off. We decided to live there due to the location being so close to the Embassy, but we refused to go through her or her family...)Cindy's sister-in-law, Dominique is even more obnoxious!!) We managed to get in touch with the actual owner of the unit, so that was a lifesaver. I have to say that our our unit looks much different with the pics you took above... I guess there are many blueprints and different material make-ups depending on the rooms. My husband and I actually moved from abroad to Ottawa in December 2007.

Something about the real estate agent saying Nortel’s CTO was a great catch. Anyway, I’d just like to extend a warm welcome to the visiting Nortelians.

I work in the building next door, and we've watched the condos being built from the ground up (literally - when they were blasting for the basement, it would shake the pens off my desk!) and I've always been curious about them. 'Course, I wouldn't ever want to actually buy one... you couldn't pay me enough to live in the Market. Ooo, thanks for the peek inside.

About the privacy act - I hope the Happy Realtor isn't Unhappy about this post. Glen, good question - I never thought of asking. But I bet if it was someone famous, she would have said so.
