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.

Tell me in the comments: Are you for or against the reopening?⬇️

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.

Why Is My Driveway Cracking And Dropping?

All too often in Winnipeg, driveways are poured too early,🧐 and this leads to cracking and dropping. When a driveway starts to drop,⬇️ you will want to catch it early, as there is only so much lifting that can be done (yesterday I saw one that had dropped 4 inches, and that is most likely too far gone).😒

Lifting a driveway is super easy, quick, and decently affordable, so watch your driveway and sidewalk and don't be scared when purchasing a home if it has dropped a little bit. 🙂

🚨You Could Be On The Hook For More Than You Think🚨

1. Understand Probate ✅

If the home wasn’t jointly owned or doesn’t have a transfer-on-death designation, it’ll likely go through probate. That means the court needs to formally approve the sale. This can take time, so plan for delays and lean on your lawyer and REALTOR® to guide the process.

2. Know Who Has Legal Authority ✅

Only the executor or administrator of the estate can legally sell the home. If that’s you, make sure you have the proper documentation — like the Grant of Probate — before listing or negotiating anything.

3. Protect Yourself Financially ✅

There could be outstanding bills, liens, or mortgage balances that need to be dealt with before the home is sold. Don’t assume everything’s cleared — get a full financial picture to avoid surprises down the road.

4. Be Realistic About the Property Condition ✅

Many estate homes haven’t been updated in years. That’s okay — buyers will often understand. But be prepared for the reality of cleaning, clearing, and possibly staging. It’s not just about getting top dollar, it’s about honouring the home’s story, too.

5. Give Yourself Grace ✅

This is not a regular sale. This is emotional. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Ask for help when you need it. Surround yourself with professionals who know how to guide you through the legal, emotional, and financial pieces with compassion.

What An Incredible Picture!

This is the sale that nearly didn't happen.....This couple took a look at this place at the open house and told me they loved it, so we popped in for another quick showing and then begged to get an inspection done in the next 48 hours before the offers date. The house was perfect, the inspection passed and we were ready to write... and then I got the text "I am heading away on vacation, I am not going to offer on the house".... but I knew in my gut this was the one for them, I knew it was perfect, and I knew we could win it. So.... I pushed back... I let them know that this was so perfect for them and that even while on vacation, we could handle offer writing and everything else that would happen....they agreed and as expected... we WON!

We scored the most amazing duplex (and maybe you will see this posted for rent shortly), and this couple gets to live in one section of it and have huge savings on their living expenses while bringing in a tenant in the other half.

Thank you for trusting the process and allowing me to nudge you to this house. It is beyond perfect for you and I am so excited for you!

Would You Buy A Home Without Knowing About Its Past?

👀 Buying a home where the seller is acting as POA or it’s an estate sale? Here’s what you need to know:

In most of these cases, the seller hasn’t lived in the home,⛔ which means no disclosure statement, no detailed history, and very few answers to your questions. That can feel frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker.

This is where doing a thorough home inspection is critical.‼️ You’ll want to budget for potential unknowns, like older wiring, foundation work, or unpermitted renovations. And don’t expect the seller to fix much, “as-is” is the name of the game in most estate or POA sales.

Bottom line:👈 You’re not just buying a house, you’re buying a bit of mystery, too. But with the right advice and a sharp eye, it can still be a great investment.

Thinking of buying an estate property or one listed under POA? Drop your questions below or DM me, I’ll make sure you go in with eyes wide open.👁

I Am Beyond Privileged To Know You!

I feel incredibly lucky to have the privilege of knowing Sarah and the Cycling with Sarah group. This empowering group of Winnipeg women 55+ get active on bikes (and beyond) while building friendships and confidence.

Sarah invited me to speak at their annual registration kick-off and talk about my upcoming trek, and I told my story. They marked my cause as the one they would donate to this year and this group came together in a huge way, donating a total of $1935 to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation in support of my upcoming Cambodia Challenge for Shelter.

You have a magical personality and have gathered up the most incredible group of women. I am so proud of everything you and Rose have accomplished and beyond privileged to know you and your whole group.

Southwood Circle Is Breaking Ground

🌿 Big news, Winnipeg! 🌿

Southwood Circle is breaking ground on transforming the old Southwood Golf Course into a thriving “univerCity” just steps from U of M’s campus ✨

What to get excited about:

113 acres turning into homes, shops, offices, and parks—all within a 5-minute walk to classes, transit, hospital, innovation hubs, and IG Field!

20,000 residents in 11,000 units alongside 300k sq ft of retail, entertainment, and hospitality—built out in four phases over 20 years

21 acres of parkland (including 1 km of riverfront!), wildlife corridors, and preserved 5,000 mature trees—two planted for each one removed

10 km of paths & rapid transit, with car‑share and EV‑bike options making it car-lite living at its best

Leading sustainability & culture, featuring Indigenous‑inspired design, geothermal ideas, snow‑melt roads, and home to the future National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation

Why it matters:

This is Winnipeg’s largest infill dev ever—turning unused land into a walkable, mixed‑use community with a serious heart. ❤️

You’re Costing Yourself Thousands Of Dollars

Let’s talk about your curtains—and how keeping them closed all day might be costing you more than you think.

Especially for south-facing windows, when the sun beats down and the heat gets trapped between the glass and your curtains, it creates a mini greenhouse effect. That built-up heat can cause the seals in your windows to fail, leading to foggy glass, moisture issues, and a big hit to your home’s energy efficiency.

And here’s the kicker 👇

❌ Repairing broken seals isn’t always a quick fix

❌ Sometimes, you’ll have to replace the whole window

❌ Which can cost thousands sooner than expected

So what can you do to protect your windows (and your wallet)?

✅ Open your curtains during the day to let the heat escape

✅ Use sheer panels or heat-reflective film if privacy is a concern

✅ Keep an eye on signs of seal failure—like condensation between the panes

Small habits = big savings 💸
