BUY IT. SELL IT. RENT IT.
Buying, selling or renting a home doesn’t have to be scary. Armed with helpful information and guidance from the right Realtor, the process can be a pleasant one, allowing you to focus on what matters most — the end result.
BUY
Buying a home is a big deal as it’s probably the most expensive purchase you’ll ever make. Here are tips to ensure a successful and (virtually) stress-free experience, and, most importantly, become an empowered buyer.
SELL
To make the selling process as pleasurable as possible, it’s important to start planning the sale of your home early. By following these simple steps, you’ll be well on your way to hanging a sold sign on your property.
RENT
Finding a rental property can be time-consuming, stressful and even off-putting in a big city like Toronto that has low vacancy rates. Learn the advantages of working with a licensed Realtor, so you can come out on top.

It's closing day, hooray! Super excited for my client who is moving into this Riverdale condo building that she has coveted for quite some time. An offer date was set when the property first hit the market but after reviewing sold data, I had a feeling the seller might receive an offer earlier (aka a pre-emptive or bully offer). And there was. Given the research I had done in advance, we were prepared to put in an offer ourselves AND beat out the competition. Now she can simply move into this turnkey unit and enjoy all of its splendour, including the forever views of the city skyline.

Want to know how many offers have been registered on a home in your neighbourhood? Sometime soon, as early as this summer in select Canadian markets, you will be able to track bids in real-time on Realtor.ca. 🙌🏻 The Canadian Real Estate Association is rolling out a pilot project on the real estate platform as a way to bring more transparency to property buyers and sellers. (Typically, this information is only privy to Realtors who share it with their clients when bidding on a home.)

Who's experiencing a midlife awakening? 🙋🏼♀️ Over the past several months, I have made what I would consider monumental changes fuelled by my desire to live the longest life in the best possible health. Six months ago, I would have said a resounding 'hell no' if someone had asked if I would ever consider giving up caffeine, gluten, dairy and processed sugar. But here I am, now starting my day with a glass of celery juice instead of a cup of coffee. And yes, I actually like it. (Though, admittedly, I miss my morning French vanilla.) Has change been easy? Nope, it has been slow, incremental and required a daily recommitment. I know I'm not the only one reevaluating life in their 40s, so I'm curious to know what has become important to others, especially the ladies, as we enter middle age. Share in the comments below👇🏻

If the weather allows, plant flowers in pots or right in the ground to pump up the curb appeal of your home. Inside, fresh flowers in vases add colour, life and the feeling that you, as the home seller, are putting your best foot forward. It may not matter to some buyers but others will appreciate this detail and take it as a sign that your home has been well cared for.

Most purchase agreements include access visits prior to closing. Even if you've visited the property once and everything was in good condition, you should still ideally schedule a final walk-through for the day before you take possession. This provides an opportunity to catch any problems before closing on your new home. Keep in mind that a final walk-through is not the same as a home inspection. You are only trying to determine whether the home has been still taken care of after the ink dried on the contract.
