Should you get a haircut before you go on a date? Should you

renovate before you sell? Because I have a background in home

design and renovation, I frequently get the question when my

clients are thinking of selling: “What should I do to my home to

get the most offers?” I like to compare it to dating. Depending

on what you’re willing to do to get that “hot date” with a buyer, renovating

and design can make your home more attractive to the largest pool of

buyers and can help you get the price you deserve. I think most people

would at least put a little effort into their appearance before a date – and

your home is no different. Even though the market is hot right now, you

always have competition. Your home should look it’s best to attract buyers

who are excited to make you a high offer!

Picture yourself newly on the (dating) market. Would you throw on some

old jeans and a comfy t-shirt and say “Accept me as I am!” Or would you

get your hair styled, buy yourself a new outfit and refuse to accept the first

offer that comes along? This is how you should treat your home before

you list it. Here are a few ideas from a dating perspective to get your home

looking spiffy before you sell.

I LIKE YOUR SMILE!The first thing that people find attractive is the brightness of someone’s

smile. You can compare this to your home’s curb appeal. The front of your

home should be warm and inviting. Like having a nice smile, having a clean

safe porch, a welcome mat and some planters will make people feel that if

the outside is cared for, then so must the inside. (I’ve had clients walk away

and not even go inside the home because of poor exterior maintenance.)

OVERDOING THE MAKEUP?Just like a beauty regimen, we should have one for our homes. Regardless

of selling, you should always have a maintenance routine so that when

it’s time to sell you’re not rushing around putting temporary patches on

things. Just like wearing too much makeup, people will know a quick

“spackle job” versus a professionally done repair.

GOT SOME “JUNK IN THE TRUNK”?Keeping clutter in your garage or basement might be detrimental to your

home being sold. It makes people wonder, “What if they don’t take all their

junk with them? How long will all this take to move?”

Having a little extra “junk in your trunk” might be acceptable when it

comes to your *ahem* booty – but when it comes to clutter in your home,

it’s best to clear some of that extra junk out!

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE, DISTRACT FROM THE NEGATIVE!Using a stager to set up your homes best features and taking excellent

photos of your home will make it sell faster and for top dollar. Even though

buyers aren’t buying your furniture and accessories, it’s a proven fact that

people like to see clean modern décor and neutral paint colours to help

imagine themselves living the beautiful lifestyle that this image evokes.

THE 5 SENSESLike looking and smelling good for that hot date, what else can you do to

attract that handsome buyer? Helping you when you list with me means

I will help you prep your home to not just look it’s best but to tingle all the

senses of each potential buyer. Your home should look good, smell good,

sound good, feel good and even have tasty treats to entice your buyers! I

help my clients’ homes look good not just with proper lighting and décor,

but with a fresh clean (not artificial) scent or just fresh coffee brewing - a

scent most people love. Next, a little soft background music, and I always

like leaving a little treat like cookies for the potential buyers to nibble

on after a showing. Last but not least, I love the feel of soft towels, fur

throws or a fluffy rug to give those buyers a sensory memory that they

will remember and love.

When you’re ready to list your home, please give me a call. I will help turn

your home into a buyer’s delight!

When considering selling a house, many people ask whether or not they should renovate in order to garner a higher price. There is no one answer to this question as it very much depends on your specific circumstances.

There are two circumstances when it probably does not make sense to renovate and they are at either end of the spectrum. If your house is already the best one on the street, you are probably at the top of the market and won’t recognize any additional benefit. If your house is the worst on the street - in need of both costly repairs and remodeling - it probably makes sense to sell as-is. One technique your realtor might employ is to list below market value, hold off offers until a specific time and try to create a competition that will push the sale price up as high as the market allows.

If your property falls within the two extremes it is more difficult to decide what to do. First, make sure you know your competition. What have homes sold for and in what kind of shape? Would “staging” be sufficient to show your home’s full potential? By staging I mean, fresh paint, de-cluttering, modernizing hardware and lighting fixtures and potentially renting some furnishings for the showings.

If you determine that a renovation is necessary, be prudent about it. Set a budget and stick to it. And spend your money wisely. In general, kitchen and bathroom renovations generate the highest ROI so start there. Sometimes inexpensive solutions can go a long way. Replace the kitchen counter, reface cabinets and change hardware, the sink and appliances rather than rebuilding the kitchen from the floor up. In the bathroom, paint a neutral colour, re-glaze the tub, replace the toilet and vanity and change up old lighting fixtures and hardware.

If in doubt, a realtor can help you determine what steps to take based on recent sales in your neighbourhood.

RENOVATE BEFORE I SELL?

MALAWITHE WARM HEART OF AFRICA

Travelling to Africa and meeting the people had always been a dream

of mine. When the opportunity came up to travel and learn about this

amazing continent I knew my chance had finally arrived. Knowing this

trip would be costly, I turned to the community for help. Through a

massive garage sale, and a fundraiser bbq, I was able to come up with

the funds to send me across the ocean and fulfill my life long dream.

People have asked me what the best part of my trip was and I have such

a hard time answering because there were so many amazing aspects. I

will always remember meeting both of my family’s sponsor children. It

was such a blessing to be able to personally connect with the children

as well as their mothers. I look forward to continuing to connect our

families through letters and pictures.

As I said, my mind was blown by the all of the amazing things we

saw as a result of the work of the staff and volunteers in the World

Vision communities. I especially appreciated hearing the stories of

the changes that were made possible by a new borehole. For one

family in particular, having clean water available meant that the

children weren’t late for school because the mother didn’t have to

walk for hours to get water. The children also missed fewer days of

school due to water-borne illnesses. The mother now has much more

time to invest in her family, her home, her garden and potentially

a small business because she isn’t spending nearly as much time

fetching water. The ripple effects from the borehole were incredible.

What a beautiful country filled with such beautiful people.

I still can’t believe that I am so blessed to be able to

say that I’ve been to Malawi and that I was part of the

Africa Learning Team in partnership with The Meeting

House and World Vision, and I have the Mississauga

South community to thank.

Story by VALERIE STACEY


“THESE MEETINGS MADE THE WORLD SEEM MUCH SMALLER TO ME - WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.

Before the trip, I wasn’t very familiar with any of the work BIC Malawi

did. Being able to connect with our brothers and sisters in the BIC

church family was inspiring. The stories we heard and are now able to

share with friends here were touching - some very sad and many more

really uplifting. Now that I’ve seen and heard so many of the wonderful

things that the pastors are doing - caring for their people, dealing

with HIV/AIDS in their communities, teaching young pastors - I am so

impressed. I’m proud to say that we partner with these amazing men

and women. The financial help is a tangible way we can help the Bishop

and pastors in Malawi, but the relationships that have been built over

time are equally important.

The way the community members all work together for common goals

was absolutely inspiring to me. The people that we met all have so much

hope. They have come so far in a relatively short period of time and they

are excited about what the future holds. Malawi used to be just a place

on a map, now it is part of my life story and testimony.

To my family, friends and South Mississauga community, I would like to

thank you so much for your generous support with the fundraising efforts

for my trip to Malawi. Being a part of the Africa Learning Team was truly

a life-changing experience and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity.


Marley is an 18 month Cockapoo who we happen to

think is the cutest dog in the GTA. Marley is very active

and loves being outside – though he does not like going

for a “dip” in our pool. He loves greeting the entire

family at the door and his whimpers of excitement

shows how much he loves us. It is almost comparable

to how much our family loves Marley. When we leave

for the day, he perches himself on the ottoman at our

front window so he can assess the neighbourhood and

anxiously await our return.

LORNE PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL

As we approach the middle of first semester students at LP are gearing up for the mid term report cards coming out November 12. Option selection for next year will start in November and once again as in all schools this is an important opportunity for parents to engage with their children in terms of their educational pathway for next year. Please take the time to work closely with your child about making good decisions around course selection. If you need more information please call the school. In the world outside the classroom at LP the school’s long standing traditions in athletics continues as our boy’s football program vies for playoff contention.

Athletics plays a big role in the lives of many of our students and fall sports are in full swing. In addition to the above mentioned football program, flag football, boys and girls rugby, field hockey, girl’s basketball, boys volleyball and cross country running are just some of the options here at LP. In the arts, students have been hard at work developing skills and our vocal night is coming up Nov. 26 at 7 PM. Students in the photography and visual arts programs continue to refresh the school with exhibits of their works on display throughout the building.

At Clarkson we have a Climate Team that works hard to ensure a positive learning and working environment for all. In addition to involving staff and community members we have a mandate to increase student voice in school initiatives. Charger In Charge Day is a student led school wide initiative. Every year senior students volunteer their time to work with the Climate team to plan, organize and deliver a themed day of positive messages, curriculum and activities. This year Clarkson’s Charger in Charge Day is on November 17th and the theme is around Building Resilience and Empowerment. Guest speaker Leo Barbe is coming in to share his story of the impact making bad choices can have and share his motivation to making positive choices and bouncing back. The day will also have a variety of lunch time activities and an afternoon program led by students to help build resiliency and empower all Clarkson Chargers.
