Hi {{contact.first_name}},

August might only be the second full month of Summer, but it's the start of the end of Summer. With weekends at the cottage or summer BBQs, summer is in full swing. Then, it's the start of the EX and then back to school. Boy, that was quick 😁

This September, I'll be participating in a two-day motorcycle ride in support of the Ontario Realtors Care Foundation. My goal is to raise $5,000 and I would greatly appreciate your support. You can find more information or donate at this link.

So how was your summer? Did you buy a new home? Here are some tips to help you with that. Does your new home have a pool? Do you have an existing pool? Here are some tips to give it some extra light. Do you have a cottage and often have guests staying over? Here are some tips to help you get ready.

Home upkeep every new homeowner should do in their first year

Congratulations on your new home! The first year of ownership is the ideal time to build a foundation of care that protects your investment and keeps everything running smoothly for years to come.

If you received a home inspection report before closing, pull it out now. Any flagged items – even minor ones – are worth addressing early before they become costly repairs. From there, these tasks will help you stay ahead of the seasons and get to know your home inside and out.

Lighting up your pool: Ideas for safer summer nights

There’s something magical about a pool at night. The right lighting transforms an ordinary backyard into an inviting retreat and extends the hours you get to enjoy it. But pool lighting isn’t only about ambiance. Done well, it also improves safety, helps you navigate the space after dark, and adds real visual appeal to your property.

How to make your cottage guest-ready for the season

Summer cottage season is here, and with it comes the annual ritual of opening the doors to friends and family. Whether you’re hosting for a long weekend or a full week, a little preparation goes a long way toward making your guests feel welcome and protecting your property at the same time. Here’s how to get your cottage guest-ready before the first car pulls into the driveway.
