How Much Is Your Home Worth?

A lot of people are sitting on massive amounts of equity, and they have no idea.💰 Home values have gone up significantly in the past 10-15 years, leaving you with potentially a lot of money in your pockets in the form of equity. This is money you can do a lot of things with if you choose to, you can upgrade, pull out for renovations, or just enjoy the knowledge of how much money you have building up.🙌 

DM me the word Value and I can help you figure out how much your home is worth and how much equity you have. 😀

What Secrets Hide In Your Basement?

Imperfections on your basement floor can be scary, 😱 and while some things are, some also just have a simple explanation...✅ especially in old homes. 

If a Winnipeg home has been there for over 100 years, there are a lot of stories to tell; that home has morphed and changed a lot over time.⏳ The way that the home once functioned is no longer, and in this case it is the heating system that has taken on a transformation. 

Once upon a time, there would have been a huge beast of a boiler in this space, probably 3 people wide and as tall as me,🙋‍♀️ delivering heat to this home. But somewhere along the line, someone removed it and put in a gas forced air furnace. When they took out the old best, you can see👀 where it once sat on the concrete. It is a story of what used to be, and nothing scary to be worried about. 😀

When It’s Right, It’s Right!

My goodness, this journey was fast! But when it is right... It's right!🙌 ⁠ ⁠

This offers night was interesting, there were 6 offers in total, and normally that would mean we go to a certain number in price, but for this one... that didn't feel right, it didn't make sense, and so we cut that number in half, and said... well.. if we get it we get it, but this is the most that makes sense for this house.😀 And with that number, where we all felt good, like we weren't overpaying, we managed to secure the home. ⁠ ⁠

I am proud of you for staying level-headed and logical, for sticking firm with the numbers, and making sure that it all makes sense.👈️ Good decisions were made, and future you will be thankful. 🎉⁠

What Do You Know About GFCIs?

GFCIs are a type of outlet that needs to be installed when you have electrical⚡outlets near water. They are designed to trip and keep you safe. Some older homes don't have them, which is allowed because it wasn't code at the time. It is something you may want to invest in, as upgrading any outlets🔌 near sinks can help keep your family safe. 😀

Top 5 Things I Look For When Showing Homes

Top 5 Things I Always Look For (Even Before the Inspector Gets In):👇

1. Cracks in the Foundation or Walls

Little hairlines might be cosmetic, but big ones or stair-step cracks? It could mean shifting or water issues. 👀

2. Signs of Water Damage or Past Leaks

Stains on ceilings, bubbled paint, swollen baseboards, or a musty smell in the basement are all red flags that something has been wet.

3. Condition of Windows & Doors

Are they foggy between the panes? Hard to open or close? Could point to broken seals, poor insulation, or shifting frames.

4. Electrical Panel & Exposed Wiring

I always peek at the panel. A messy setup, old knob-and-tube wiring, or burnt-looking connections = 🚩

5. Roof & Eavestrough Health

A newer roof is a huge win. Missing shingles, sagging gutters, or plants growing where they shouldn’t be? Time to dig deeper.

Teach Your Kids About Real Estate

Ugh, if we had $1 for every time we’ve heard, “I never learned anything about buying or selling a home when I was in school” we’d have enough for a down payment on a home 😱

We’re serious. This is something that fires us up because our next generation of adults (or those who are adults already) have no idea about the basics of real estate.

We’re not talking about investing and flipping and building and developing...

We’re talking the basics of how to buy, save, why it’s important, build equity, and understand the overall benefits of being a homeowner.

If you’re a parent or you’ll be a parent someday we cannot, cannot, cannot stress enough how critical it is to start educating your children, teens and young adults in real estate.

It’s their literal future.

It’s how they will build the MOST wealth in their lifetime (sure, stocks and savings and retirement savings are great, but 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 is the most beneficial).

We’re serious, if you aren’t well-versed in buying or selling homes please come to us. Please let us help you help your children.

It’s their future.

What An Amazing Sold Picture!

What a cute and amazing SOLD pic! 😍 This family worked so dang hard to get their home on the market and make sure it was the best version of itself to showcase it to future buyers. 🙌 It isn't easy to do all that when you have little ones, but they worked so hard and I appreciate it so much.

You're kind, patient, understanding and just simply amazing. I know how important this sale was for you, and I am so excited for the next step we get to take together in building your dream future. Congratulations! 🎉⁠

Big Changes Are Happening On Graham Avenue

Big changes are happening on Graham Avenue in #Winnipeg! 😀 The city has officially closed this stretch to vehicle traffic as part of a Pedestrian Placemaking Pilot Project.

This could completely change how we utilize our downtown area, and I’m here for it. Are you?🤩

The Right Number Of Boxes Were Checked Off

Clipboard and paper came along with us on showings and we made sure the right numbers of boxes were checked off with each home that we saw, and this one had all the right check marks. Cute as a button with nothing needed but turning a key and moving in.

We got to work with an inspection and writing a fabulous offer and clinched the first and only offer written! It is a beautiful thing when you don't have to write and face heartbreak so many times!

Congratulations on this amazing home, it is beyond perfect for you!

Portage And Main Is Finally Open

Portage & Main is OPEN to pedestrians for the first time in 46 years! 😁

It’s one of the most iconic (and controversial) intersections in Canada, and now, for the first time since 1979, you can actually walk🚶‍♀️across it.

Why was it closed for so long?🤷‍♀️ Why did reopening it cause such a stir? And what does this mean for downtown Winnipeg?🧐

In this video, I break down the history, the debate, and why I personally think this change was long overdue.✅

Watch now to learn what makes Portage and Main the heart of our city, and why this moment is a big deal for Winnipeg.

So Incredibly Happy For You!

What an incredible journey we got to have! There are so many stories of buyers going through so many tough times right now landing homes, but this one is not that story.

We looked at a lot of duds, homes with too many problems and needing too much work, but once they saw this one, they knew it was the one. We wrote out our first and only offer and managed to clinch this amazing home!

So incredibly happy for you. It is the perfect blend of doing a bit of work and projects that you want, along with being sold and in a fantastic neighbourhood! I wish you years and years of happiness in this home.

The Largest Transfer Of Wealth Is Happening Now

If you’re helping a parent or loved one❤️ move out of a long-time family home, you’re likely navigating a lot more than boxes and bubble wrap. You’re managing memories, legacy, and often… a whole lot of stuff.

We’re in the midst of the biggest generational transfer of wealth and belongings in history, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone.👈

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Take it one room at a time — the emotional weight can be just as heavy as the physical.

• Get clear on legal pieces like probate, wills, and powers of attorney — they can sneak up at the worst times.

• Give yourself (and your loved one) permission to feel all the feelings — grief, guilt, relief, gratitude, it’s all valid.

• Know that you don’t have to do this alone. Some professionals specialize in estate transitions, downsizing support, and senior move management.

This isn’t just about moving a person, it’s about honouring a lifetime. And if you need someone to talk to or help you make a plan, I’m always here.😊

💬 Drop a comment if you’ve been through this or are about to be — let’s support each other through one of life’s biggest (and most tender) transitions.
