The HGTV Effect
Wednesday, 27 April 2016
It's not a new phenomenon, I've been talking to my Seller clients about this for years now! Today's buyers have extremely high expectations! The first impression online needs to be good enough to get them to even consider seeing it in person & then it has to live up to the hype when they get there! And if they don't see perfection then the thinking often turns to "can I get a deal?" Now the state of the market right now (HOT!) can bridge some of the gaps but you won't know how much that untapped potential will affect your bottom line until it's too late.
Builders have been dialed into this for years with their model homes which are all upgraded to the nines but now it's the new-normal in the re-sale market as well...WHY?
Heritage Homes - Own A Piece Of Local History!
Saturday, 14 November 2015
I have a wonderful Heritage Home listed for sale right now, built in 1885 & full of beautiful original details. I admired the house from afar long before I met the family who has lived there for over 40yrs.
One of the most common comments I hear when people find out that it's a designated heritage property is "oh, so you can't make any changes to it"... and that's just not true.
In this particular home there is a list of features which are protected under the designation, and those features

Radon Gas & Your Home
Monday, 9 November 2015
I was watching the news last week when a segment came on about Radon Gas & the latest awareness campaign around it when it comes to our homes.
I must admit that I didn't know that much about it & I was curious as to why it was suddenly in the media again. In my line of work it's important to keep up-to-date on issues affecting the homes in our area. Being able to direct my clients to resources & professionals in various fields so that they can make the most informed decisions possible is key to protecting their interests.
What is Radon?
Radon is a colourless, odourless gas that can seep up from the ground into your basement if you live in an area with a high concentration of uranium. Uranium is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, soil & water.
The Canadian Cancer Society calls it a silent killer
