The right place at the right time

Flower seller's cart, Granville and Georgia, Vancouver, BC (February 14, 2015)

If you are in the flower business, Valentine's Day is your Christmas. Along with Mother's Day they are probably the two biggest days for flower sellers. Dad gets a tie and a new coffee mug, Mom get breakfast in bed, flowers, and a meal out.

This flower cart was set up at the corner of Granville and Georgia in downtown Vancouver on Saturday, February 14, 2015, Valentine's Day.

One of the maxims in the real estate business is that the three most important factors when looking for a house are location, location, location. Many people also say the same thing about retail. But in this case it was not only the location that was right, but even more important the time was right.
