Should I stay or should I go? Deciding whether to relocate or remodel

Deciding whether to stay in your current home or look for a new one is tough. So tough, in fact, that there is a reality TV show about it! If you’re struggling to make that decision, here are some tips that can help:

• Find out the current market value of your home. This will give you a clear idea of how much your property is likely to sell for in today’s market.
• Find out how much you can afford to invest in a new home. This is calculated, in part, by how much of a mortgage you qualify to receive.
• Determine whether your current home still suits your needs. Do you need to move up to a larger place? Downsize to a smaller property?
• Figure out whether this is the right time to move to a neighbourhood that you’ve always dreamed of living in.
• Assess whether your neighbourhood has changed in a way that you don’t like.
• Decide whether you are still happy where you live. Is it time for a change?

A good REALTOR® can help you answer these questions and provide the information you need to make the right decision. Call me today so see what your best strategy is for getting the most amount of money for your much loved home.

Take care,

Barrels to Belize: Special Delivery!



We were able to ship 11 barrels to Belize containing clothes & shoes for children and adults. The contents were distributed to the very needy in various villages. We have put some pictures together so you can see for yourself the difference you make.

We are once again starting to fill barrels, and are hoping to send them Oct 23rd. We appreciate your continued support to help the less fortunate.
If you are able to round up kids/youth shoes, sandals, bedsheets , pillow cases, pillows, socks , kitchen stuff such as cutlery, pots and pans etc., school supplies and school bags.( lightly used is perfect) no used undergarments please.

My husband and I will be going to Belize in January to help and mentor youths that we are currently supporting. Its through these youths that we have come to know the need of the poorest people. You can drop off any items you want to donate to your prospective offices. We greatly appreciate it.
