When buying a strata property, a document review delivers far more than peace of mind about the building’s condition. It hands you clear, dollar-based leverage to negotiate a stronger offer. Findings such as upcoming special levies, major repairs flagged in depreciation reports, low contingency reserves, or undisclosed litigation turn potential risks into concrete reasons to revisit the price.

In our post-review survey, only about 12% of buyers tried to renegotiate using review insights—yet nearly half (46.8%) of those who did succeeded in securing a lower price. Don’t leave that opportunity on the table. As your Realtor, I’ll help you turn every finding into real savings and get you the best possible deal.

Strata review in hand? Turn those red flags into green savings before someone else does!

In today’s competitive real estate market, where buyers have more choices, the homes that sell fastest and for the best prices are the ones that feel clean, spacious, and move-in ready from the first glance. As your trusted REALTOR®, I’ve seen time and again how proper preparation helps buyers picture their life in your home—often resulting in stronger offers and smoother transactions.

Start with decluttering main living areas and giving high-impact spaces like kitchens and bathrooms a deep clean so they shine and feel organized. Boost curb appeal by tidying the yard, mowing the lawn, and pruning landscaping. Major renovations are rarely necessary—focus on making what you have look its best. Let me guide you with personalized advice to maximize your home’s appeal and value.

A sparkling, clutter-free home sells itself—don’t let dust and disorganization cost you thousands! Contact me today with any questions or real estate topics on your mind.

Should be finding efficiency and value for utilizing taxpayer's money.
Tax more and wasting more are not going to make anything better.

Find the rootcause, fix it and then things will turn around

Let's go Steve!

With mortgage renewals peaking across Canada in 2026, about 60% of borrowers will face higher monthly payments as they transition off ultra-low rates from a few years ago. The average increase is projected around 6% compared to late 2024 levels, with many five-year fixed mortgages seeing even larger jumps. Automatically accepting your current lender’s renewal offer often means missing out on better rates, terms, and flexibility available in today’s market.

Smart homeowners start reviewing options up to 120 days early. They shop around, compare fixed versus variable rates, adjust payment frequency or amortization strategically, and consider switching lenders for meaningful savings. As your Realtor, I help clients align their mortgage with long-term homeownership goals—whether staying put, renovating, or preparing to sell—turning renewal season into a strategic advantage rather than a financial surprise.

Renewing blindly is like signing a lease without reading the fine print—smart homeowners negotiate instead. Have questions about your mortgage, renewal timing, or any real estate topic? Reach out anytime—I’m here to help!
