TOP BRASS REALTY

RENTED‼️

📍18B Offenbach Lane, Centrepointe

Tenants secured for my landlord client within 3 days of listing at full market rate. Thank you for your trust.

Looks like quite a busy rental market currently. Wouldn’t be a bad time to buy an investment property, with the sellers market being a bit more relaxed and lots of quality tenants looking to rent for top dollar.

“If you ever wanna chat about anything, including real estate, reach out…”

Couple of great days golfing for charity!

Yesterday, September 29th, was the 1st Annual Construction Fights Mental Health Golf Tournament at The Meadows. Top Brass Realty and Royal Lepage Team Realty were proud sponsors and the guys killed it, organizing an awesome day and surpassing their goal of over $10k that will be donated to The Royal. Over 160 participants and I’m willing to bet every one of us finished our day excited to be back next year. Great work lads 👏

The day before I was with my Royal Lepage Team Realty fam out in Mont-Cascades for our Fall Classic, raising money for our company’s charity, the Shelter Foundation, supporting Canadian women’s shelters and domestic violence prevention programs. I was lucky enough to have on my team so of course it was a time.

SOLD‼️

📍58 Arnold Drive, Ottawa

Sometimes selling real estate is a simple transaction of a house, an investment, quick trade, etc.
But more often than not, there’s a story (of many stories) behind it, there’s emotions behind it, and you’re handling the transaction of a home that has hosted many memories.

58 Arnold Drive was once home to a young couple, who moved to Canada for a new life from Holland in 1957, 65 years ago, when the home was first built by a family member. Over the last 65 years, this home has seen many changes, including changes to the home and to the people as well. This young couple, now in their 90s, not only raised their family in this home, but later hosted grandchildren in this home, and even met great-grandchildren in this home. Many birthday parties, Christmas parties, dinners and holidays… this is a forever home.

What an honour it’s been to represent this family in this sale. 8 days listed, 7 of those days spent back and forth negotiating. Thank you to my sellers for your trust, so glad we could not only sell this home for a great price, but also be able to pass it along to the next young family, looking to make this their forever home.

Time for the next stories to begin.

COMING SOON/EXCLUSIVE LISTING‼️

📍58 Arnold Drive, Ottawa

You’ve stumbled upon a good one - such a rare find! Arbeatha Park properties don’t come up often as it is, but how about this beauty.. Where else within city limits can you get a massive 104’x190’ lot, featuring black walnut trees and no rear neighbours, backing onto a park, a short walk to several km of forested NCC trails, have city water and sewer, all while still being able to walk down the road for errands? This open, natural light-filled, 4-bedroom, 3 full bathroom home has been loved by only one family since it was built and is finally ready to be loved by the next. Originally a bungalow built in 1957, this home has seen its share of renovations throughout the years, including the addition of the double-garage (2-car deep) and upper floor, and then an addition to the depth of the home, when the home was fully gutted and renovated by a professional designer. Just a couple touch-ups away from this being your forever home, or even an easy flip.
24hr irrevocable, as per form 244.

💲949,900

⚠️WARNING: SPRING IS CLOSER THAN IT APPEARS ⚠️

Now, what does this mean? Warmer weather, snow melting away, greener grass coming back, hopefully some patio drinks, and in real estate, usually a busy time of year.

This year, you might’ve heard that the “spring market is here early”, but the fact is, the spring DEMAND is here early, but the SUPPLY is not. As we turned our calendars to 2022, many buyers have come out on the hunt trying to beat the spring craziness, as we saw last year, which has caused prices to increase significantly once again.

What now? Where do we go from here?

Sellers - looks like many of you might still be holding off on listing your homes. This might be due to the general perception that spring is the best time to sell, you don’t have the right Realtor looking for you to buy so you think it’s too tough right now, or perhaps you were concerned about the covid scares. If you’re considering selling anytime soon, I’d suggest getting the process started as soon as possible, before buyer fatigue starts to play a bigger role and before you have to compete with your neighbours. Also, keep in mind it’s rare that a home is sale-ready immediately.

Buyers - I know many of you are still sitting back and waiting until the market “cools off”, but the fact is, numbers will still be on the rise, so you’re going to need to find a way to squeeze in sooner rather than later. That being said, we’re starting to see buyers find the gaps and squeeze in. The problem is, you can only find those gaps if you’re pre-approved, working with a Realtor, and ready to fire. If you wait until you hear it on the news that it’s getting better for buyers, well, chances are the sellers are already adapting (if they’re working with a good Realtor who’s on top of things 😉) and the best deals have already come and gone.

Hope this was helpful, cheers to sunnier days ahead.

YOU GUYS make this life as a Realtor a million times better!

PURCHASED‼️

So happy for my awesome buyer clients securing this clean Kanata stacked townhouse BEFORE it hit market in the midst of these crazy times.

Yes, these times in our market are CRAZY, especially for first-time buyers. And unfortunately, holding off until the market “cools off” will most likely be more detrimental than beneficial, as for most people your budget won’t keep up with the increase in home values.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial to have a good realtor on your side, looking out for you and guiding you through your purchase with STRATEGY. This all starts with something as simple as a DM.

Thank you again to my clients for the trust through this process and having me play a small role in this next step in your lives!
