July 2021 Real Estate Market Update
After months of near insanity in the Toronto market, all signs point to a return to seasonal real estate conditions. But is the pandemic housing craze over?
READ MORE →
Buying a newly renovated home can be very appealing as it's move-in ready, BUT it also comes with risk. In today's hot housing market, some DIY remodellers looking for a quick fix will use low-quality materials that could be problematic for the future homeowner. Then there are contractors who are buying homes to flip and cutting corners to make the most profit. To protect yourself, make sure all renovations were completed by a professional contractor using quality materials that are meant to last. Ask the current homeowner for the contractor's name so you can do your due diligence. Also, check for permits by contacting the local building department.

Two weeks ago I quit drinking coffee … for my skin. In June, I had a massive rosacea flare-up. We're talking stinging, itching, hot and RED, like it looked like I got a severe sunburn on my face. Skincare products I've used for years further aggravated it, along with prescribed topical creams. What caused it? 🤷🏼♀️ The past two months have been full of new beginnings — I "basified" my skincare routine, pitched out products and omitted some of my favourite foods and drink (bye-bye wine, too) from my diet to minimize symptoms and try to figure out potential triggers. The results, well, I haven't really seen a change. (Granted, I'm not a doctor and I have no idea how long it will take to see real improvement). Tomorrow, I finally meet with a new dermatologist (long story) and hopefully glean some answers and determine next steps 🤞🏻 The hardest part is trying to figure out how to manage this skin condition. There's no cure, it's chronic and what might work for one person may not for another. But I'm hopeful.

My client's move from Kitchener to Toronto wasn't only big because of the location change — he moved in with his girlfriend, too! ❤️ Incredibly happy for this couple as they embark on the next chapter of their life together. I have no doubt they're going to love living in this newly built condo that's nestled among Toronto's most prestigious neighbourhoods. Plus, it's so close to her work, which is literally a 20 minute walk away. 🙌🏻

Whose couch is pilling? Mine was where the kids sit, so I took a razor to it. I used a brand-new razor without the moisture strip and gently shaved in strokes along the direction of the fibres. You'll need to tap the razor frequently onto a paper towel to keep the razor clear. Once finished, use a vacuum with the upholstery brush attachment to remove all the loose fibres. It's really that simple!
