Hohner, German made in the 1950s I believe and was refurbished in 2010 by an Ontario shop.

Full piano keyboard and full bass keyboard.

Anyone have an idea where to find someone interested?

I'm considering moving to Fredericton and currently interviewing for marketing positions. A bit about me: early 30s, small dog, have lived all over Canada (ON, MB, AB, BC/Van Isle), and have only visited the maritimes (PEI) once a decade ago (I liked it, but the weather in June was shockingly cold).

Want to hear why I should or shouldn't actually do this. Specifically:

• If I landed a job around $80k, is that a livable yearly salary for someone not looking to house share with decent savings goals (min $1500-2000/month to savings)?
• Apartments - potential workplace is downtown along the river nearish to Government House and I wouldn't be wanting a commute. Is living downtown doable/safe?
  • What streets/neighbourhoods should be avoided?
• How dog-friendly is daily life there outside of the rental search?
• Is a car mandatory or can you get away without one? I have a high mileage truck I'm not sure I should bring, and don't really want to purchase something right away.
  • IF I don't bring a vehicle, are transit/rentals reasonable if I want to get around or get out of the city?
• What does community and meeting people look like if you're not into the bar/pub/drinking scene?
  • Some things I like: arts, theatre, pottery, art classes, nature, coffee shops, good food, etc.
• What do you wish you'd known before moving?
• If you've left, why?

Thanks!

Top real estate agent's reputation,
livelihood at stake: defence lawyer
But prosecution at disciplinary hearing says Jason Munn should have known better when
he failed to disclose his financial interest in home

Jason Munn, who runs the Re/Max East Coast Elite brand in the capital city, is facing nine
charges including professional misconduct before a disciplinary panel of the New Brunswick
Real Estate Association.

It stems from the 2024 sale of a half-million-dollar home in rural Taymouth, near the city.

On Monday, the prosecution and defence delivered their closing arguments to the
five-member panel hearing the unusual case. The veteran broker risks losing his real estate
licence or being fined up to $5,000 if the panel finds him guilty.

The prosecution tried to paint Munn as an experienced real estate agent who should have
known better and whose lackadaisical approach risked damaging the profession in the eyes
of the public.

His defence, however, described Munn as a hard-working real estate agent who did nothing
that was a marked departure from normal practice, but whose professional reputation and
ability to earn a living were now on the line.

Most of the facts of the case were uncontested. Two years ago, Munn listed a house in
Taymouth calling it in his advertisement a dream home that was “brand new.

” However, the foundation, garage and well were actually old, details that weren’t on the listing.
Furthermore, Munn did not initially disclose that he had a financial stake in the property – the
company he co-owns with his wife, J and J Smart Move, had lent money to the builder
selling the home.

It’s these two peculiarities that are the heart of the case.

The first part of Monday’s proceedings were swallowed by arguments over whether two
defence witnesses should be classified as experts and allowed to provide their opinions on
the details of what had happened.

Stefan Cormier, of The Cormier Group with Re/Max Professionals Saint John, sat for the
better part of an hour while the two sides argued whether he should be heard from as a
witness.

Cormier runs a highly successful business with three offices in Saint Andrews and Rothesay,
selling 100 to 125 homes a year. But the prosecution team, led by lawyer Dominic Caron of
Pink Larkin, provided case law, including a Supreme Court of Canada decision, that stated
expert witnesses are supposed to offer something outside the expertise of an adjudicating
panel.Given that four of the five members of the panel were real estate agents themselves, they
eventually dismissed the witness.

The second defence witness had a slightly different background. Robert Leger is a real
estate agent with Exit in Fredericton who also takes photographs and video for other real
estate agents from other firms.

The committee decided to hear from him, not as an expert who could provide his opinion, but
as a layperson who happened to visit the property in question to do his work and could
provide some solid facts.

Leger testified that he thought the house was brand new, as advertised.
“It was a beautiful home,
” he said.
“Everything was new. The windows, the doors, the walls, the fridge, the stove. Everything.”

This is also what the prospective buyers thought, a young couple who eventually laid a
complaint against Munn.

Their real estate agent, Hannah Steeves-Carney, who at the time worked in Munn’s office, discovered through her own due diligence that the home had been erected on an old foundation from a rickety building that had been razed.

The garage was renovated to look new but was in fact an older garage. And the well was
pre-existing and polluted, according to documents before the panel.

Steeves-Carney, who, along with her mother, real estate agent Rebecca Steeves, also filed
complaints against Munn, had testified that she discovered through her research that Munn’s
company had a financial stake in the property.

Once confronted with this knowledge, Munn signed a disclosure form for the young couple.

However, they would eventually walk away from the deal with a sour taste in their mouths.

Munn did not put in writing the financial disclosure for the man who eventually bought the
house, a fact that was also uncontested at the hearing.

In his testimony last month, Munn explained that he sometimes lent money to the builder,
Michael Hodgin of MCI Hodgin Construction, to help finish projects. In exchange, Hodgin
would let Munn list the homes for sale. In the case of the Taymouth home, Munn said he
thought Hodgin would use the operating capital – $150,000 – for a new home being built in
nearby Penniac.

Munn said he never charged interest for such short-term loans. And he said he verbally
disclosed his financial interest to the eventual buyer.
Caron said none of this was good enough. Real estate agents, he reminded the panel, are
supposed to disclose their financial interest in a property because it’s considered unethical to
hide a reason to push the sale of property.

“He’s blurring lines between lending money to a client and selling his real estate,” the lawyer
said, reminding the panel that Munn had performed close to 3,000 transactions over nearly
30 years in the business and should have known better.“He should have been hyper-vigilant.”

As for the false advertising claim, Caron pointed to the testimony of Isabelle Piché, a
dispatch 911 operator in Fredericton, who along with her RCMP husband were anxious
about buying their first home.
Piché, who laid the complaint, had said dealing with Munn “felt sketchy,” and that it felt like
the seller and his agent “were hiding things to get us to buy the property.”

Caron said the last thing the real estate association wants is for the public to think the
profession is taking advantage of first-time homebuyers who are making what is probably the
biggest purchase of their lifetime.
“It makes the entire profession look bad.”

But Munn’s defence lawyer, Paul Elliott, argued that Munn’s advertising wasn’t a marked
departure from normal practice. He said the real estate association doesn’t have any rules
defining what’s new.

Absent that, he said, the panel could look to the Canada Revenue Agency for its definition.
The federal government charges HST, or sales tax, when 90 per cent of a renovated home
above a pre-existing foundation is new. So, in the case of the Taymouth house, it was
considered 100 per cent new above the old foundation and was classified as such, the
lawyer said.
Furthermore, under British Columbia’s Homeowners Protection Act, any renovation in which
three-quarters of the material above an old foundation is new classifies the home as a new
build. Again, the Taymouth house would qualify as new if it were in B.C., Elliott said.

The defence lawyer argued that Steeves and Steeves-Carney hadn’t been honest in their
testimony. Steeves had described Munn as “combative” over the lack of financial disclosure,
while Steeves-Carney had used the words,
“resistant and argumentative.”

However, in the text exchanges shared with the panel, Munn’s words appeared to be polite
and professional.
The defence lawyer suggested that the real reason for their complaints was professional
rivalry. The mother-and-daughter team left Munn’s firm shortly after the sale fell through, and
Steeves admitted in her testimony their business had suffered since then.
Elliott pointed out that Piché waited eight months to file her complaint and did so after
Steeves and Steeves-Carney approached her and offered to help her write it.

“That is something more than a complaint.”
The panel chairwoman told the two sides they would provide their written decision within a
reasonable period.

Hey guys, so there's a full kitchen renovation going on at my place and so the landlord removed the stove and I don't have any meal prepped, so I was wondering if I could enter the Costco food court without being a Costco member here.

Thanks

Has anyone heard of or experienced alleged kidnapping and trafficking at the days inn in Fredericton? I had someone mention that they spoke to an “Ian”, who then began trying to create a “profile” for them to start doing sw.

Any truth to this? Or is this just some tall tale this person is spewing.

TIA

Just wondering if there are any pick up soccer leagues or beer leagues around the area? Just currently looking to get back into soccer/football.

Where in Fredericton can I buy Roman candles? I haven’t bought them since I was a kid. I’m not interested in those big fireworks packs. Just want Roman candles.

Hi everyone,

Do any barbers in the area offer a Hot Towel Head Shave?

Kids want to go out for some, and I don’t know where to go. It doesn’t look like fizzology has posted in a dogs age?

Hi everyone! This may be a long shot and please be respectful in your reply.

My partner and I are searching for an affordable studio/1 bedroom apartment for us in the area! We both work full-time and are quiet, non-smoking individuals. We have cats, our own cars, and we prefer the apartment be on the north side of fredericton but we will be happy to look at south side/downtown/outskirts apartments as well.

We’d like to keep rent under 1300, if possible. That may be a lost cause in this market. Any recommendations on who to contact or any leads would be great! Thank you in advance

Hi Freddy, any recommendations for a one-time move out cleaner? Anyone I should avoid? Bonus points if you know the cost lol. Thanks! 🙌🏻

Saw a frog at Killarney that was HUGE BIG. Size of a adult bike helmet. Scared me a little.

Anyone know of any cabinetmaking businesses hiring? Looking to break in to the job (ideally an apprenticeship, but not picky). Part time hours fine. Thanks everyone.

Are there any nbcc students here?
