🌟 LIFE UPDATE 🌟

20 years ago, when I started working for my dad at our family scrap metal recycling business as a summer student, I never could have imagined today would come.

Today, I am excited to announce that I am completing the purchase of Trijan Industries from my dad and will now become the 4th generation of family to own and operate it!

Thank you, dad, for showing me what it takes to do this day in and day out and imparting your business and industry knowledge in me. Nobody deserves to “retire” after 50 years of working in the business more than YOU! HAPPY RETIREMENT!

Finally, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the guidance from both my dad and mom, the love and support of my wife and our family and friends... THANK YOU for being there for me throughout the process, it’s been a winding road to get here!

If you or someone you know needs to recycle some scrap metal.... call me!

Did you know that the top three reasons clients love hiring me is because of my laid back, no pressure approach to real estate, my friendly demeanour and my ability to communicate effectively?

I started Slipacoff Home’s because I’m passionate about Real Estate and wanted to find a way to help guide others on their own personal journeys to home ownership.

For me, it’s so much more than just buying and selling... I’m in it because I want to help you find your own special sanctuary to call home.

If you’re looking for a Realtor who can help you navigate the local market and won’t just tell you what you want to hear to get your business then make sure to reach out, I’d love to tell you more about the process of hiring me so you can feel confident in your decision in choosing the right Realtor !

Talk to you soon!

Before you ever see a property listed or promoted, there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes.

Seriously — whether you are buying or selling, numerous little details that go into each and every listing and transaction that mostly go unnoticed but make all the difference between a smooth sale or a bumpy one!

Even though this work doesn’t get as much glory, the extra attention I put into these details are important to me because it’s how I best serve and represent my clients.

By being thorough, knowledgeable, informed and accurate, I am prepared to show up for my clients in a meaningful way throughout the buying and selling process while also allowing me to put my special touches on each transaction!

Hi! We have some new faces around here so let me introduce myself!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm Christina - the wife and Interior Decorator of Slipacoff Homes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am (dare I say it...) 35 years old. I was born and raised in Toronto. I studied Genetics and Anatomy and Cell Biology at Western University in London and returned to Toronto to work in Communications and Marketing for the Ministry of Health. It was then when I met Doug and he somehow managed to whisk me away to Sarnia in 2014 …and I've been here ever since!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might know me from my job at the local public health unit or previously at a boutique marketing agency, or maybe from my other business ESSENTIALS by Lace + charm (). Anyone remember the Juicy Banana?! Feels like a lifetime ago I started a little juicery!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've basically spent my lifetime, so far, looking for that career that gives me those butterflies and makes my heart take an extra beat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when I think back, it's always been this. Since I can remember, I was always lost in thought… reimagining rooms and decorating them in my head. I would think “this chair should go here” or “this room needs to be softened up with some curtains.” I would always be thinking of ways to make the room I was in more functional and more beautiful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am so excited to finally be here and doing THIS. Transforming the houses of my client into the homes they've always dreamed of - ones that reflect who they are, how they live, and how they want to feel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's the je ne sais quoi about coming home to that feeling of home that I love so much and I can't wait to share that with you!

Stairs or no stairs... that is the question!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Depending on what type of home you're looking for should be factored into your budget! See below for the average sale price of each type last month!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Average Sale Price by Home Type in April 2023:
Bungalow................…$681,197
2 Storey.....................$566.052
1.5 Storey................…$407,874
Raised Ranch..........…$565,710
Side Split 4 Level...….$600,507

Who else loves a good transformation?!

If you’ve heard a bunch of real estate jargon before like buyer or sellers market and wondered what exactly does that mean … you’re likely not alone! Here are a few brief explanations of the different market conditions we can experience…
A buyers market occurs when supply exceeds demand. To put it another way, real estate inventory is high, and there are plenty of homes for sale, but there’s a shortage of interested home buyers.
A seller's market arises when demand exceeds supply. In other words, there are many interested buyers, but the real estate inventory is low. Since there are fewer homes available, sellers are at an advantage. In a seller's market, homes sell faster, and buyers must compete with each other in order to score a property.
A balanced market consists of supply meeting demand. In other words, the number of homes for sale is equal to the number of people trying to purchase properties.

Do this one thing to increase you sale price of your home!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Buyers want to imagine themselves in your home, which means the most neutral we can make your space look the better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Staged homes can sell for 1-5% more; on a million dollar house - that’s $10,000-50,000 more money!
