A Perfect Journey

This journey couldn't have been more perfect from beginning to end.

First, we found their dream home off the market, then we listed their home just as the market was picking up speed. We had an overload of showings and sold the home for more than they ever could have expected.

Watching your happiness over the past few months has been the best thing ever. Your happy tears have filled my heart and I have loved every moment I have had with your family. All 4 of you are amazing and I am just so incredibly happy for you.

Why Do Rates Keep Going Up?

Why are the rates going up? Will they keep going up? When are they going to go down? Should you still buy a home? What do we know?

The government still wants to slow down spending, and they want to slow down the price of houses so they are trying to do that through the rates.... what we know... it isn't a rate issue, it is a supply and demand issue, so it may make some buyers hit pause on their buy but there are still the rest who need homes no matter what and it won't slow them down.

Any questions about rates? We have great lenders we can hook you up to chat about what might be best for you.

One Heck Of A Journey!

This smiling face is just the best thing ever. The journey we went through to get to this smiling face was one heck of a journey full of frustration and obstacles, but Kim pushed through, and she pushed hard making sure that she got exactly what she wanted.... and because of that, it turned out beyond perfect in every single way.

I am so so so happy for you and so thankful that I got to be a part of this journey with you.

Ready To Sell Or Buy? We’re Ready For You!

Raise your hand if you've seen a house hit the market, but by the time you open your phone to schedule a showing - it's pending.

Yes, Winnipeg. We’re still in a low inventory market. Why? ⁣Because many homeowners are locked in an astronomical interest rate and don’t want to sell and lose those 2 and 3% rates to get a new home with a 5% rate. Because we have more people coming into home ownership than leaving their homes.Curious about how to handle a low inventory market?

Here’s a quick rundown of what not to do as a seller or buyer.⁣

⁣If you’re looking to 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟:⁣

⁣▫️Don’t wait. With not many homes for sale, you won't have much competition. Translation? You can likely expect one or more top-dollar offers from eager buyers.⁣

▫️Don’t overprice. Even with low inventory, set your asking price at market value. Doing so means you’re likely to attract more buyers and possibly set off a lucrative bidding war.⁣

▫️Don’t worry. You're going to get a greater return on your investment. Rising prices mean that homes are also gaining value!⁣

⁣If you’re looking to 𝗕𝗨𝗬:⁣

⁣▫️Don’t wait to get the paperwork ready.

▫️Do everything you can NOW (gather down payment funds, get pre-approved, have your home ready to sell) so when you find your dream home you can move, and move fast!⁣

▫️Don’t make a clunky offer. Make a clean offer with as few conditions as possible.⁣

▫️Don’t let your emotions run awry.

▫️Trust your Realtor. ⁣We’ve been in this industry long enough to know and understand the market. Let us guide you and help you make the best offer to win a home.

⁣Ready to sell? Ready to buy? We’re ready for you! Send us a DM or text and we’ll set up a time to talk.

Raising Funds For The Shelter Foundation

What I would love more than anything is for you to donate here: https://bit.ly/givetoshelter⁠

⁠The funds we are raising during the trek do so much for the women and children who are needing a safe place. The moment when you finally get the courage to leave, have to escape and need a safe place to hide is incredibly dangerous. These shelters provide so much for those that need them. ⁠

Do You Remember Kindness?

Do you feel it as much as I do? It feels like so many people are operating on this higher level of tension. That smaller things are bothering people in bigger ways and there seems to be so much anger.

I think that it is always important to remember kindness every single day whether it is the real estate transaction that you are a part of, or "normal" life. Deep breaths, take a step back and let's all work together.

The Proper Gap For You Basement Reno

The gap!! This gap is so important when your basement is finished. When permits are pulled they make sure that this was done correctly, but some people like to do things without permits, so if you are one of those people make sure your contractors (or yourself) are doing this properly.

Congrats On Your New Adventures!

This amazing person is off on new big adventures and I am so so so excited for you. Winnipeg is going to miss you and your infectious happiness and although I didn't get to see you very often, I will miss you too. I will see you on social where we can connect about hiking adventures, travelling and so much more.

Thanks For Helping!

Can you believe this? The Royal LePage Realtors across the country do an amazing job at fundraising for the Shelter Foundation, and when we trek in November our crew should raise another 1.3 million! The work that we do fundraising helps so many people who are escaping domestic violence, and we couldn't do it without all of YOU, the people around us who also donate and help,

So, thank you to everyone for helping!

Think Of The Future When Renovating

If you are renovating your home and you are working on things bit by bit, make sure you think of the future. Today that home is yours, but one day down the line it will be someone else's, and while you can make your personal touches and make it your own, also think and prepare for that other person down the road.

When we renovated our upstairs bathrooms we bought a little extra piece of flooring for the downstairs bath, so that when we do it there will be consistency. We may not do that bath for another 5 years, but when we do it will match the upstairs ones as well.

Time To Celebrate!

Let's celebrate! This family is off on amazing new adventures that are taking them off to their dream life.

This family is full of generosity and every time we visited my tummy was filled with delicious homemade goodies. They worked so hard prepping the home for sale, meticulously taking care of every single detail and ensuring everything was perfect.

I couldn't be happier for you that you get to move on and live your dream life. Where you are headed next is exactly where you are meant to be and I hope it fills your heart and soul as you carry baskets of fresh camomile at your new property.
