I'm Beyond Excited For This Seller!

7 offers, 6 of them UNCONDITIONAL and 1 fabulous accepted offer!

I love how the discussions started with "maybe I will sell, I don't know, thinking I might move" to foot fully on the gas peddle and pushing forward super fast! There was no stopping this lady once it started; she worked tirelessly to get her home ready!

I think my favourite moment was when she said @heatherstyleshomes said these boxes could stay.... and I looked at her and said "Nope, they gotta go!" that look, omg, you're serious, more work... but it got done and it looked amazing!

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, this couldn't have been more perfect!

What Does Top 1% Donor Mean?

At Royal LePage, we have the Shelter Foundation which helps women and children escape from domestic violence. I give as much as I can to this amazing foundation each year. I believe in this foundation and support it fully in the work that they do. Top 1% means that in the world of Royal LePage, I am among those who give incredibly generously.

I believe it is important for everyone to find somewhere that is important to them and to give, to help, to volunteer, to do whatever you can. If everyone does a little bit to help out we can make the world a better place bit by bit.

Congrats On The Sale!

SOLD!!

My goodness, what a wonderful moment after sooooooo much prep work! I remember when I walked in for the listing appointment, and there was hardly anywhere to stand never mind sit. There was drywall dust and paint all over as she was in full home-selling prep mode. With the house being vacant I said we should really consider staging, and it was soooooo worth it! Walking through that home once it was fully staged was amazing, it looked beyond fabulous and the buyers clearly thought so as well. From day 1 on the market, my phone started blowing up and showings were coming in like crazy.

On offer night I sat in the hallway of our hotel in Disney going through the offers we had and got to give this seller the amazing news that all conditions had been removed while I was standing in Diagon Alley with Gringots right behind me.

Congratulations on the sale of your home!! So incredibly proud of you for all the hard work you put into getting this house ready for the market.

Cash Buyers Ready To Purchase Your Home

It is quite frequent that I get a call from someone... "we got a letter, someone knocked on our door, and they want to buy our home cash!"

If you get a letter like this, it may be a fabulous opportunity for you, but it is most likely significantly less than your home is worth. Even once you factor in all the fees to sell the home I always see my clients get 10s of thousands of dollars more than the number given to them.

So, if you get a letter, reach out to us. Let's ensure that your home isn't being severely undervalued and that you aren't losing a significant amount of money.

Unlocking the Truth: Why 'It's All Good' Isn't Enough in Financing!

Don't Be Fooled!

Hearing 'It's all good' about financing without a pre-approval is risky business. Many pros and buyers throw around those words, but here's the reality: it's not 'all good' until you have a pre-approval in hand. Don't settle for uncertainty! Ensure your financing is rock solid with a lender-approved pre-approval. Don't gamble with your future!

Uncover The Secrets Of A Structured Wood Floor Basement!

What is a structured wood floor basement?

If you are selling it is a feature you will want to make sure you let future buyers know about, and it may take a little education.

Structured wood floor means that you have a wood floor in your basement instead of concrete, and you have a crawl space underneath it. It is an upgrade when building, and they have huge benefits.

Benefits include warmer floors that are not as hard to walk on, easy access to install new electrical or plumbing and... my favourite... dryness! This crawlspace means that if there is any seepage it stays in that area and doesn't come into your living space. The sump pump is often down there as well, so water is either absorbed into the ground or pumped back out.

I Am So Happy For You!

Yesterday was possession day for this super special person at an incredible character condo.

This building is so gorgeous, and the unit she scored is MASSIVE, and so perfectly suited to her. As a first-time buyer, it is the perfect place to start planting roots and begin home ownership in this sprawling space. There is so much room to add value or keep it just the way it is.

I hope to come back (during the golden hour) and see how you have perfectly decorated the space. How do you hang out on that screen porch all summer, and hear about how much you love the neighbourhood.

I am so happy for you, you deserve this amazing place.

Battle Of The Pipes: Pex Vs Poly B – Which Reigns Supreme?

Back in the 70s, Poly B plumbing was all the rage, promising a new era of convenience. But alas, time has revealed its flaws. Poly B pipes began to deteriorate, causing issues both within the pipes themselves and at their joints.

Fast forward to today, and Poly B has become a significant headache for homeowners. If you're in the market for a home, be wary of Poly B. Insurance companies typically require its replacement due to its unreliability. While I've only encountered Poly B in one Winnipeg home, its presence is more widespread than you might think.

For sellers, knowledge is power. Disclosing the existence of Poly B upfront can save you from hurdles during the sales process. Don't let Poly B put a damper on your real estate journey!

Thanks For The Referral!

Sabrina worked so hard with these clients who were referred to us. Their Realtor in BC brought us in to sell their Winnipeg properties, one step in the client’s retirement plans and bringing them up from the United States back into Canada.

We worked with multiple deadlines and between countries and provinces to make this all happen!

Accept That You Deserve A Nice Life

We saw this fabulous home and loved it so much, but we knew there would be steep competition as this home had been perfectly maintained for 20 years by the same owners. On offers date, we went "all in" and honestly didn't expect to hear good results.... but we got the call that that "all in" decision that we had made was what put us over the competition and we had won!! I think we were all in a bit of shock.

On the day that we were taking this pic, the buyer shared her horoscope "Accept that you deserve a nice life" and it made my heart so happy because this couple absolutely deserves this nice life in this fabulous home. Fate brought them to this home and helped them win and I am so so excited for you.

It was a pleasure getting to reconnect and know you, huge congratulations on your new home.

I Love This Sold Story So Much!!

We sat around the table on December 18th discussing the upcoming sale, I guess with it being so close to the holidays we were thinking we were a couple of weeks out.... but an idea came to me and I said "Can you be ready for photos and videos in 4 days?" I vividly remember the pause, them thinking, and then the slow nod and answer yes.

I said, let's be bold, be different, and hit the market in the middle of the lull when nothing else is hitting the market, I want to hit on boxing day. I am so thankful that they decided to go along with my wild idea.... because it worked PERFECTLY!

We hit the market with next to zero competition. Nothing new had hit the market and all those buyers were just sitting at home on their time off scrolling their phones... and there was our listing.

I had prepped them for high days on market, we strategized our price meticulously, and then because of our timing we sold the condo in only 2 days.

All of us couldn't be happier with how it all played out, and I am so beyond thankful you let me be risky and bold when it came to the strategy of when we hit the market.

Congratulations!
