What to look for when buying a condo

This blog post provides some extremely important information to consider when buying a condo. It discusses the pros and cons and provides some helpful advice on everything to look for to make sure you are making the right decision!

The Pros Of Owning a Condo

Condos can offer a convenient, low maintenance lifestyle.  Many people looking to downsize or simplify their lives are tired of constant property maintenance, whether that’s landscaping, snow removal or ongoing upkeep of the exterior itself. In a condo, these items are almost always taken care of by the condominium property management company.  This allows the flexibility to lock the door and forget about it while you focus on more important things!

Key steps to a Successful Home Sale

Resist Rushing to Market

When I first spoke with my client earlier this year, we had a decision to make.  He had a tenant who was currently living in the property but had given her notice to leave. We could have listed his home immediately and rushed to market. Instead, we decided to wait for the tenant to vacate the property so we could give it the attention it deserved to maximize the potential value. 

The tenant was by no means unclean, but it was clear belongings had accumulated in her time there (like they do for most of us!).  There were shelves and pictures all over the wall and a small, cute but slightly smelly cat who greeted me at the door.  A small space felt even smaller.  We needed a blank…

Mortgage Renewals - How to deal with high interest rates

I’m not sure about you, but to me everything at the moment seems unreasonably expensive. The deodorant I like was on “sale” for $6.50 and I started to wonder if I’d really smell that bad without it. The other thing that stinks at the moment is the cost of borrowing money.  In twelve short months, the bank of Canada has raised interest rates from 4.79% to 7.09%.  While these aren’t the highest rates in history, the pain being felt is because of how low they’ve been in recent memory.  

The sticker shock of today’s rate environment has a lot of people dreading mortgage renewal time. We spoke to a mortgage specialist recently.  People walking into his office are terrified of making ends meet when…

11 Glencairn Lane | A Brian MacKay-Lyons Masterpiece

As a Realtor, I see a lot of homes.  I see small homes, big homes, new homes and old homes.  I get to see luxury condos, heritage conversions and waterfront cottages. For all the homes I see, there are only a handful of occasions where I find myself saying, “Wow!"

The Kutcher House at 11 Glencairn Lane provides exactly that reaction.  I’m not even creating hyperbole here.  From the moment I drove up the private lane to see it for the first time, I was legitimately excited to get inside.  It has a special air about it.  An imposing presence from the first moment you lay eyes on it.  As I stepped through the steel gates to the courtyard, I found a structure hovering over a massive boulder. When…
