Welcome to Real Estate Season! 

Spring has sprung, which means that home buyers, sellers and real estate professionals are currently gearing up for the busiest time of the year.  What can you do to ensure the greatest success in today's real estate market? 

Moving Condos in the Cold

We've almost made it through another frosty Canadian winter and even though we know spring weather is right around the corner, we also know that this month can just as easily dump a snowy surprise on us.  If you're planning to move this month, you'll first want to take a minute to read these hot moving tips. 

Household Tip: Spring Into Spring Cleaning

Once the warmer spring weather arrives, we often feel the urge to declutter and clean out homes.  While tackling the closets and regular cleaning jobs, don't forget to also pay attention to the following places. 

FYI to Those Who DIY! 

Whether you live in a big house or a tiny condo (or a small house or a huge condo), there will be time when you think, "I don't need a professional to fix that for me!  After all, how hard could it be to do it myself?"  Just a heads-up ... your DIY project could just end up costing more to undo and redo than it would have to get done properly the first time! 

Working At Home

Between using your home computer, taking care of household bills and correspondence, and the necessity for a quiet area where kids can do their homework, it's not hard to justify the need for some dedicated office space on your home.  The goal in establishing a home office is to create a space where you can be productive, that also looks and feels like a part of your home. 

Grow Your Curb Appeal

Whether or not you enjoy gardening, as a homeowner you'll want to capitalize on the opportunities your garden provides.  It could be for your own pride of ownership, or to create natural curb appeal for a quick sale, or to invest in your yard for future increased home value. 

Family First! 

Does the arrival of a baby bump mean you'll be bumped out of your condo lifestyle?  In the past it may have, but the time they are a'changing and today's parents are too; couples are recognizing the many benefits of the condo lifestyle even when they start to welcome children into the mix.
