One of the best things about living in Lanark County is the amount of trails and wilderness available at our doorstep. You can drive minutes to some of the most spectacular views! When you live locally, you don’t always play locally. We all know that we have had more time to explore what our beautiful area has to offer recently and we hope everyone will continue to safely enjoy these fantastic sources of exercise, family time, fresh air and exploring.
One of our favourite things to do with our kids is go for a walk and explore a trail. Being outside is so important to our metal health and is a great place for quiet reflection alone or great conversation with others. We have checked-out a few that I listed below and hope to explore many more in…

Hey there! I see that you're selling your home and wondering what the heck is going on when everyone else’s homes selling super-quick! Or maybe you are thinking of selling and want to avoid being the home that sits. Either way, keep on reading!
#1 Condition- If your home is in need of some repairs, that may be why Buyers are overlooking your home and offering on another. Buyers prefer to move right in and avoid having to do small (or big) repairs to a home. If you have neglected items on your maintenance list, this would be a great time to address them. Things like chipped paint, torn screens and over-grown landscaping can make a difference in how a Buyer will view your home. A listing appointment should include any specific items that would…

Congrats on your home purchase! This is a very exciting time and one you will hopefully look back on with fond memories! Now it’s time to take some pictures in front of the sold sign, pop open some champagne, line-up the trucks for moving day and order the pizza because you are OFFICIALLY a homeowner. Before you do, here are five things you should do first:
Get to know your house:
Review your home inspection to be prepared for immediate fixes that may need completed right away. If they are big jobs, you will need to line-up a contractor. If they are small, you can hit the hardware store to get you supplies ready for move-in/ repair day. Some people prefer or need to, t
o do the repairs BEFORE they move in and if it’s a busy season your…

Real estate seems like the perfect job. To me it is but I can tell you it has not always been that way. I wish I had more information when I started or at least where to go to get it. Tons of entrepreneurs decide to pursue a career in real estate every year and the Ottawa Real Estate Board alone had 267 new members in 2016. It seems like a dream job where you can make your own hours, take vacations whenever you want, look at beautiful homes, and make lots of money.
Although some of these may be true, many factors affect how this will happen. If you plan on making a solid living, there are a few things to consider when you become newly registered.
1- Make a plan. With all of your newly acquired knowledge, you will surely want to hit the…

We have all heard that the best time to list your home is in the spring. This is when houses show better, people want a change and you can be settled before the start of school. These are great reasons to sell your home in the spring, for sure. There are also a lot of downsides to list in the spring.
Here are 3 Reasons to NOT wait until everyone else:
A TON OF INVENTORY! Your house better be show ready because the competition is tight
LOTS OF LOOKY-LOOS! People are coming out of the winter and can be just curious on pricing their own home, or worse, just looking for decorating ideas
BUSY BUSY! More volume= more issues in a lot of cases. Most families are very busy during this time and it can be challenging to book showings and open…

This day in age it is very easy to do things online. Literally there is an app for everything, even a virtual assistant! I think this has led to some wonderful conveniences that I many enjoy every day, but I also feel that it has led us down a slippery slope to an industry where there is less and less personal contact – In a service business!! I know, right? This is leaving people to feel they should buy homes on their own.
When people are buying houses and are going at it alone, without the proper information, or guidance it can be a very costly mistake….in a lot of ways. Yes, I know there’s a TON off apps to see which properties are available for sale and this is fantastic- seriously. As a Realtor I love them too. These apps do not give you sold…
