Open House this Sunday

Your Home YQR will be there 11-1pm and I will be there 1-3pm.

Come check out this stunning home, it won’t last long!

Seven Tips for showing your home​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1) Leave the home before showings

2) Open all the blinds and curtains

3) Turn on all the lights in the home

4) Light (or turn on) the fireplace if you have one

5) Place fresh flowers or lemons in the kitchen (make the home smell good)

6) Ensure all trash and recycling is taken care of

7) Ideally, any evidence of pets (and pet doors) should be hidden/removed during viewings.

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is beneficial because it helps you understand your budget. It also helps strengthen your negotiating position when you do find that perfect home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Contact me today and I will connect you with a mortgage professional that can assist you with your pre-approval.

Let's just say there is a lot more than 3 reasons why you should hire a realtor. I firmly believe in customized service. No house is the same, no client is the same, no situation is the same. I want to be able to help you achieve your goals whether you are buying, selling, investing or even building a new home.

There is so many factors that come into play when your determining property value. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Some of those include:

1) State of the current market
2) The size of the property
3) The property's condition
4) The Location/Neighbourhood
5) How Old the house is
6) Upgrades and Add-on's

Reach out with any questions you might have.

The Boutique Advantage 🗞 🔔

Did you know ⁉️

That using or working for a boutique brokerage isn’t just a personable and local experience. It has many advantages too! For agents and clients alike.

Here’s just a couple of the benefits a boutique has:

1️⃣ Less Fees!💸 Less fees for agents means higher potential for savings for clients! And less to some big corporate franchise conglomerate 👔🏢💰somewhere else in the country or in some cases out of country.

2️⃣ Freedom! 🇨🇦 More freedom and flexibility for agents to market properties and represent their clients resulting in extremely successful sales. There’s no “big real estate” here. Our policies are made here at home, not in high-rise headquarters in Vancouver or Toronto.

3️⃣ Innovation! 👨‍🔬 Boutique’s have the ability to be adaptable, creative and innovative when implementing new company strategies, processes and tools that help their agents and their clients without restricitve national brand policies, outdated tech and softwares that havent been updated since the 90’s. 💾👾🙊

Want to know more? Send us a message and we’d love to share more about what we do! 📞 📧.

Stay tuned for more from our segment “The Boutique Advantage” 🛎 🗞

Making your offer stand out in this market is so important ‼️ ​​​​​​​​
Each client is different, each deal is different so each negotiation strategy is different. 🤝​​​​​​​​
Being a buyer navigating through a sellers market can be stressful but as long as you and your agent are on the same page & have a plan in place you are set up for success. 🏡

Is anyone else over this deep freeze? 🥶
I, like many others are feeling the urge to jet off to somewhere warm.

In the meantime I am working hard to find the perfect houses for all my buyers out there. Inventory is so low that I am searching high and low for those perfect spaces, some not even on MLS quite yet.

If you are even considering selling or want to know what your home is worth please reach out. People are paying top dollar for homes in YOUR AREA today!

Hey Everyone,
I have a couple clients looking for Townhouse condo's (with garage) in the east end, if you have anyone that is even considering to sell, please reach out to me or give them my info!

Oh hey Monday 👋
A new week means so many new opportunities.
There is something about the first sip of coffee on a Monday that just hits different.

This is your Monday morning reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you.

I can not stress enough the importance of being pre-approved for a mortgage BEFORE you start house hunting.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily (lately) all my clients have come to me already pre-approved by a bank or mortgage broker. This gives my buyers the knowledge to know what they can afford, and what range we can look in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Always remember just because you are pre-approved for a certain amount doesn't mean you should spend that. It's important to budget and know just exactly where you are comfortable being.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you looking for a mortgage professional to work with? Please reach out I have some wonderful individuals that I would love to link you up with that with give you the best guidance when it comes to securing the best mortgage for your situation.

Happy Wednesday!

A year in review....

2021 Recap

Many people expected the pandemic would have slowed the housing market down in 2021.

However, that was not the case in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan recorded a total of 17,387 sales in 2021, a new record which surpassed the previous mark set in 2007 by 17 per cent.

Sales in 2021 were 24 per cent higher than 2020 levels, when 2020 was still considered as a good year for the real estate market.

The association added that a decrease in inventory and strong demand ensured the market leaned towards sellers for much of 2021.

Improved affordability, lower mortgage rates and more time spent at home are some of the factors behind the growth in sales.

Winter Maintenance Ideas for Safe and Warm Homes 🏡

1. Keep your house warm and prevent costly heat loss

The first thing is to ensure that your building’s heat source is in working order. Ideally, your heating system should be serviced annually by a qualified professional. Replace furnace air filters at the beginning of the winter season.

Make sure caulking around windows and doors are in good shape and replace damaged glass panes on windows and doors.

2. Avoid Frozen Pipes

Never turn the heat off completely during the winter. Maintain adequate temperatures and air circulation throughout the house or building. If you are leaving for a prolonged period, make sure a family member or friend can check that all is in working order.

3. Watch out for snow accumulation

It is very easy to lose control of your property if the snow is not removed quickly after a storm. This applies to the front of the building, all air intakes, exhaust vents and any electrical appliance located outside. Also large amounts of heavy snow should be removed from the roof regularly.

4. Keep fire safety in mind

Home fires tend to increase in the winter months. The main reasons are a malfunction of the heating system or a fireplace that is left unattended. Fireplaces and chimneys need regular cleanings to remain safe and effective.

5. Maintain smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

It is very important to regularly test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and check their batteries. This is especially important in the winter, when we keep the windows shut and typically use wood stoves and fireplaces more often.

FAQ 🙋🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have heard so many people say “Well I don’t need a agent to buy a home do I?” Well technically you don’t but why wouldn’t you want expert representation for no cost? Someone working in your corner to make sure you get full disclosure on the property you are buying and to make sure you get the best deal possible. Don’t go through this process alone. Reach out if you have any questions!

On Wednesdays I wear PINK 🌸
Well not only on Wednesdays but I just had to throw in that Mean Girls quote. (If you know, you know)

Well 2022 is fully underway and after what was called the busiest December we have had in a long time it seems January isn't slowing down either.

We start off the year in a sellers market with very low inventory and options for buyers out there...so if you are even thinking of selling please let me know.

Also if you are a buyer and looking for something specific on the market you don't see, please let me know so I can see if I can find you something not yet on the market.

I have yet to make my 2022 goals yet, something I have plans to do before the end of January but I have a lot of new things coming to my business, stay tuned!

Have a wonderful day everyone. ✨

Happy New Year! & Welcome to 2022!!! ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years with those who mean the most to you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now let’s hit the ground running…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so excited for all that’s to come this year.

Tips for selling in the Winter ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
via HGTV ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Let There Be Light⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Retract blinds, and widen curtains, so there’s minimal window coverage. The windows will look bigger, and it’ll encourage daylight to flow into your space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Spend Time on Basic Home Maintenance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check window seals and doors for drafts. A drafty window is most noticeable on a cold day, so take extra efforts to weather seal and insulate around windows and doors.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have the furnace or boiler maintained prior to putting your house on the market On a cold day, buyers will make sure the systems are in good shape.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Deep Clean: A Few Places You Might Forget About⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clean inside the cabinet beneath your sink. It’s likely they’ll glance at the plumbing, and they'll notice if the plumbing and inside of the cabinet are dirty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4) Paint? Maybe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A light-colored interior will reflect more light than a dark one, and that may make all the difference on a gloomy, cool day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If the walls look dingy or dated, refresh the look of a room with a $25 can of satin or eggshell.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5) Be Sensitive to Seasonal Decor⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both in your listing photos and in real life during showings, keep the seasonal decor at bay while you’re trying to sell. No one expects a home to completely lack holiday decorations during these months, but simplicity is appealing.

Ok confession…I LOVE Starbucks. Although you will often find me supporting lots of amazing local coffee shops around our great city I still find myself driving to a Starbucks drive thru to order those complicated drinks you see going viral. I also have always found Starbucks customer service to be top notch. My husband often bugs me because I plan our weekend errands to include a stop by the closest Starbucks. If you love Starbucks as much as I do then let me⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
know what your fav drink is to order, I am always looking for new ones to add to the mix.

Don't wake up with the regret of what you couldn't accomplish yesterday. Wake up while thinking about⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what will be able to achieve today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
