The three words most kids hate to hear but the three words that are music to many parents ears!

Soon enough the stores and malls will be full of signs screaming out those words and like it or not, the first day of school will arrive and of course we all want our kids to be ready for class.

Being prepared for school is important. Parents want to give their children the tools they need so they have every opportunity to succeed.

Sometimes, the very school that their children attend can be a factor in their child’s success. Whether it be a particular program a school offers, the class sizes of a school, or the option for French immersion some of us put a lot of emphasis on where our kids will go to school. The reality is that it’s not easy to shop for homes with that requirement as one of your pre-requisite must haves!

First of all, you have to really do your “homework” (wink)!

School boundaries change fairly often. There are many variables at play:

old man and the sea, you could be fishing for some time!

And like the old man eventually you might catch the big one, but there comes a time when it’s ok to ask for help! If your child was struggling to learn at school would you hire a tutor if you could???

Well by the same logic it’s ok to ask a realtor for help too! Maybe one that lives in the area? Maybe one that knows a teacher or 10 (or is married to one!!)

We would be happy to help!!!

Referred by reputation for over 30 years, just ask your neighbours!

changing populations, government changes to education policies, wear and tear on school buildings themselves just to name a few, that affect the number of students in a school, thus class sizes and even the sustainability of an entire school! It was not too long ago that Creditview Public School near Terra Cotta was phased out!

Some people think that maybe if they purchase a home fairly close to the boundary, schools will make an exception to the rules but that is not always the case! They most certainly can’t make an exception to the bus route, so you will be lugging kids back and forth for some time!

Now let’s say you know the school that you want and got your area mapped out, now it’s just a matter of a 4 bedroom, 2 storey with nanny suite, at least 2 acres, with detached shop and hmmm not tooooo much work, coming on the market! Like the

HOW’S YOUR OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING GAME?In the warm summer months, there’s nothing better than having friends or family over for a fun backyard party or outdoor barbeque. But there’s an art to throwing a great party, and if you don’t keep your guests properly entertained, they might not stick around for long.

Whether you have a huge yard or a tiny patio, here are three ways to level up your outdoor entertainment game and keep your guests happy this summer.

1. Giant gamesYour guests will undoubtedly be entertained by watching or playing a massive version of popular childhood games, such as Jenga or Connect Four. Try Jenga® GIANT™; just like with the tiny version, the goal is to remove and add blocks without knocking over the whole thing. Everyone will be on their toes, watching to see when it will tumble.

2. Outdoor bar with coolerA traditional cooler does the trick if you just need your drinks chilled. But step up your game with a nice outdoor bar that expands to reveal a spot to add ice and cool your beverages. It’s also great for setting out ingredients for fun mixed drinks.

3. Camouflaged speakerPlaying great music can change the entire atmosphere of a gathering. A weatherproof speaker, which is camouflaged as a rock, looks like part of your landscaping and can provide a soundtrack to your parties regardless of the weather

Does your current place lack the room for entertaining? If you’re looking for a new home with a backyard, please reach out.

It’s not uncommon to feel like Kevin McCallister from “Home Alone” when first purchasing a home and experiencing the newfound freedom that comes with owning a place. While homeownership is an ultimate aspiration for many, there are inevitable associated risks that come along with a household. It’s important for both proud new homeowners and longtime owners to plan ahead and keep up with the latest updates in home safety to make a house feel like a home – and keep the Harry and Marvs of the world at bay.Unsure where to begin to protect a new home or safeguard an existing property? Have no fear! After closing 1.57 million transaction sides worldwide in 2018, experienced RE/MAX agents have ideas to keep homes – and family members – safe:

CHANGE THE LOCKSNate MartinezChanging the locks on all the home’s exterior entry doors is one of the first steps recommended to new homeowners after closing. “Re-keying a house is a relatively inexpensive process and one that can bring great peace of mind to new homeowners,” says Nate Martinez, Co-Owner of RE/MAX Professionals in Phoenix. “Over the years, previous owners may have given keys to various friends, family members, contractors and neighbours, so changing the locks is a safe option that also helps new owners feel more like the place is their own.” Don’t forget about doors connecting to enclosed garages, greenhouses or pools that need to be updated as well.

INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEMOne of the best ways to secure a home is to install an alarm. Yet only  17 percent  of houses in the U.S. have a security system, according to the National Council for Home Safety and Security. “Often, security systems are an afterthought,” says Martinez. While there are financial costs to installing a home security system or upgrading your existing home alarm system, protection of your family and valuables is priceless. “Smart home technology has personally improved my home experience as I can keep an eye on my home remotely and even grant access to trusted individuals while I am away,” he adds.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR (EMBODY ‘OLD MAN MARLEY’)Ryan HellerIt’s one of the first things every child learns, and it’s called the Golden Rule for a reason: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Getting to know neighbours can help make any neighbourhood a safer place. Is there an elderly couple nearby that sometimes needs help or are there small children that need looking out for? Having a good understanding of this can help give a neighbourhood that close-knit feeling – and alert residents when something could be suspicious. Homeowners going out of town should talk to their neighbours and see whether someone can mow their lawn, shovel their walks, or pick up mail and newspapers. “Bring your neighbour back something nice from your trip to show them you appreciate the help,” suggests Ryan Heller, a Denver-based Associate at RE/MAX Urban Properties.

A HOME SAFE

PROTECTING THE GREATEST ASSET UPCOMING EVENTS

CALEDON FACTSPalgrave was first known as “Buck’s Town” after an early resident there, an Irishman named Brian or Barney Dolan. He earned himself the nickname of Buck, because of his prowess as a huntsman, who frequently returned to his town from the chase with a buck across his saddle.Before Brampton was dubbed the flower town of Canada, Bolton was sometimes referred to as the floral village of Peel. It received the name because the majority of the settlers in the village were from England, who had a well-known passion for horticulture that they brought with them to Canada.Caledon East had three other names before it became Caledon East — Tarbox Corners, Munsie’s Corners and Paisley.

MAKE SOME NOISEMark HandlovitchYes, alarm systems and secure windows are tools that can help keep burglars away, but one key asset to deterring intruders is often overlooked: the garden and yard! Trimming hedges, laying gravel and displaying a sign with the home security company’s name are useful tactics for keeping unwanted outsiders from trying to get in. Aside from adding aesthetic value, gravel in particular, can protect homes against intruders because it makes entry less quiet. “In our area, we recommend holly or thorny bushes plus any type of low shrubbery that someone wouldn’t be able to hide behind,” says Mark Handlovitch, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Advanced Realtors in Pittsburgh. “We also recommend clients use motion detector lights around the home. These newer lights are very effective even for the homeowner when they return home late in the evening. No fumbling for keys or searching purses in the dark.”

THINK FIRE PREVENTIONSafety is more than keeping burglars from entering the home, it’s also about keeping yourself and loved ones safe inside! According to the American Red Cross, house fires cause over $7 billion in property damage each year. Being prepared and conducting regular safety checks can help keep homeowners from adding to that number. Test smoke alarms often, change filters regularly to avoid buildup of dust and lint, maintain cords and always keep fire extinguishers handy. “A good tip is to switch out smoke alarm batteries during daylight saving time and to check fire extinguishers often to make sure they have full charge,” says Heller. “On the exterior of the home, homeowners should be sure to keep a clean yard and remove dry leaves and fallen branches as well as keep both the gutters and roof clean to maintain a defensible space.”“An agent might provide new fire extinguishers and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for clients. Listing agents may make it a part of their presentation about features of the home, and buyer’s agents could provide new ones if there is a question about age,” says Handlovitch. A home purchase is a major life decision. Homeowners can feel good about protecting this purchase – and themselves – by following these tips.
