WE SAID YOU SHOULD TOO! Heck Yes,
HECK YES! We were so thrilled with Sarah Heck! We were about to leave town on a 2 week vacation and got orders to move from my husband’s job. Panicked doesn’t even begin to describe our state of mind! Sarah took care of everything. We literally handed her the keys to our home and got on a plane. I know she worked tirelessly (photos, open houses, private showings, answering a million questions), and somehow she managed to make it look effortless with a smile that I could feel through the phone. In one week we accepted a full price offer and were in escrow! She even made it easy for us to do paperwork from across the country. Inspections, appraisals, you name it, it was done by the time we arrived home. Thanks to Sarah we were able to simply come home and move out! We’ll never forget our experience and future agents we use will have a tough time filling her shoes.
- Lynn C.Sarah was recommended by a friend and she responded quickly with a marketing plan that we thought was very workable. She suggested movers, painters and others who were essential to making the place ready for sale. She worked through all of the large and small details to ensure all took place in a timely manner. We received a very credible offer within days of the first open house. Her attentiveness and efficiency ensured that all aspects of the sale moved in a timely manner. We were very pleased with her professional services.
- James L.Sarah Heck helped us find our first home and we couldn’t have asked for a more caring, trustworthy, respectful, professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable REALTOR ® . This is a REALTOR ® that doesn’t back down from no one or anything. She’s persistent and positive regardless of the circumstances. Not to mention that we commend her in being so receptive and consistent when it came to our particularity. Anybody can be a REALTOR ® and show people homes, but not everyone can be a good REALTOR ® and not all good REALTORS ® can be a “Heck” of a REALTOR ® like Sarah! My wife and I learned so much from Sarah. She is the aficionado of realty! We entrusted Sarah with our first home and she couldn’t have done better by providing us with the highest level of service and care. We’re so thankful and blessed we were able to find her from all of the REALTORS ® out there.

Is the hyperloop making inroads? With a new entrant in the race for high-speed, underground travel and a newly formed joint venture among seven hyperloop companies, it may be closer than ever.
Toronto-based TransPod recently introduced The FluxJet, its fully electric “hybrid between an aircraft and a train,” and announced the formation of The Hyperloop Association. The partnership includes Hardt, Hyperloop One, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Nevomo, Swisspod Technologies, and Zeleros.
The Brussels-based association will work closely with the European Commission, the European Parliament, and Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking. The European Commission will “initiate the work on the hyperloop regulatory framework, a significant milestone for the industry, not just in Europe but worldwide,” said Ben Paczek, inaugural president of The Hyperloop Association. “In the upcoming months, we expect major developments in the hyperloop space.”
TransPod unveiled the FluxJet in a scaled-down version in Toronto last summer, complete with a live demonstration of a take-off and landing. Ryan Janzen, co-founder and CTO of TransPod, called it a “milestone” and a “major leap forward,” noting that, “The FluxJet is at a nexus of scientific research, industrial development, and massive infrastructure to address passengers’ needs and reduce our dependence on fossil-fuel-heavy jets and highways.”
TransPod expects to eventually release pods every

two minutes. They’ll have an initial capacity of 54 passengers or 10 tons of cargo, with the ability to scale up by “virtual coupling.” This will allow “multiple vehicles to be dispatched simultaneously in a train-like configuration, connected through a virtual system similar to adaptive autopilot,” they said.
The FluxJet will rely on technological advancements and innovations in propulsion, clean energy, and “contactless power transmission,” so it can pull power from the existing electric grid through magnetic fields.
That means the ability to travel at more than 620 miles per hour — faster than a jet and three times what a high-speed train can do — while emitting zero emissions.
According to a feasibility study, TransPod’s ultra-high-speed transportation system will also create as many as 140,000 jobs while adding $19.2B to the GDP. The cost for passengers to travel on the FluxJet is expected to be 44% less than the cost of a plane ticket, and the system would also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 636,000 tons per year once it’s finished.
Preliminary construction has begun on the TransPod Line, which will initially connect the Canadian cities of Calgary and Edmonton. The 175-mile trip will take just 45 minutes. TransPod’s $550 million infusion from Broughton Capital Group in cooperation with China-East Resources Import & Export Co. will help fund the test track and further research and development.
Elon Musk’s The Boring Company and Hyperloop One are the two most notable names in the hyperloop world, but so far, the talk has outpaced the results. That only adds to the excitement for TransPod.
“All the hard work over the past few years has led to this milestone moment where talk is becoming a reality,” said Sebastien Gendron, co-founder and CEO of TransPod. “The technology is proven, and we have the confidence of investors, governments, and partners to continue pushing forward to redefine transportation effectively.”
