Bright idea nets hospital $7,910

Darryl Lambert of Georgetown, Ontario has been declared Canada’s Most Outrageous Holiday Home Decorator after a nation-wide search by website OutrageousLights.ca.

Lambert’s home, located at 14 Johnson Crescent in Georgetown, 20 minutes west of Toronto, features more than 45,000 lights intricately choreographed to festive music with a techno beat. The display uses nearly 1,000 meters of extension cord, 230 dimmer channels, 26,000 LEDs and more than 10,000 mini lights. Visitors are able to tune their car radios to an FM radio signal to hear the synchronized music.

As a result of their month-long holiday light display, the Lambert family on Johnson Crescent in Georgetown collected a total of $7,910 from people dropping donations in the collection box in front of the house as they passed by to enjoy the show. The family recently made a presentation of the collected funds to Georgetown Hospital Foundation. On hand for the presentation were (from left) Darryl, Ryan, Hayley and Kathy Lambert and Georgetown Hospital Foundation Executive Director K.C. Carruthers.

If you get some free time, I recommend you take the drive to see this in person. Truly an amazing display of lights, and a remarkable feat for this georgetown family. Leave a donation as it's for a wonderful cause.

How to Quickly get your Home Ready for a Showing.by Bill and Lia McNally

How to Quickly get your Home Ready for a Showing.by Bill and Lia McNally. Real Estate Sales Representatives selling homes in Halton Hills, Ontario.


Do you have a showing booked and are pressed for time? Run through this quick list and have your home looking like a million buck in no time. Please note that this list assumes you have already done your main selling preparation (staging, painting, and deep cleaning to the best of your ability) and are keeping up with regular cleanings.

-Keep a large basket on hand. Quickly run through the house and throw loose ends and clutter into the basket. Swiffer dust off surfaces at the same time. Stash the basket in a closet on a top shelf.
-Put all dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
-Spray and wipe down counters in the bathrooms and kitchen with a cleanser. The brand Method has some nice smelling sprays (the Cucumber variety is a good one) that will clean and give your home a nice smell at the same time.
-Windex the mirrors and faucets.
-Straighten up. Make sure all the beds are made, put fresh towels out in the bathrooms, arrange throw pillows nicely.
-Run a vacuum over any carpets or floor that looks dirty.
-Make sure to adjust the temperature of your home according to the season. If it's a sweltering day, make sure buyers feel the cool relief of your air conditioning when they step inside. If it's cold outside, turn the heat up to a comfortable temperature and if you have a gas fireplace, turn it on. It's the perfect opportunity to showcase this selling feature.
-Turn on lights in every room, including the bedside lamps. Lighting dark corners is a great way to make rooms appear larger. If it's night time make sure the outside lights are on. Flameless candles are a great way to create ambience without the danger of leaving real candles unattended.
-Baking bread, cookies or brewing a fresh pot of coffee makes your home smell wonderful and inviting, but if you're in a rush or are working with short notice it's not realistic. Instead plug in a vanilla or cookie scented air freshener in the kitchen to create a similar effect. Plug a "clean linen" scent in your laundry room as well. Just don't overdo it!
-Make sure all ice and snow are cleared from your driveway, walkway and entrance. You don't want the buyers' to step in a slush puddle and get in a foul mood before they step inside your home.
-Now for the most important part: leave! If possible take your pets with you. Having you at home makes buyers uncomfortable. Buyers will linger longer and have an easier time picturing themselves living in your home if you aren't there. Also, if you are home you may unwittingly reveal details that can weaken your position when negotiating later on. Personality clashes have the potential to make negotiations difficult as well.

Home Staging in Georgetown

Kelly Heaps
Kelly Heaps: Home Stager in Georgetown, ON

Home staging in Georgetown and Halton has become quite an essential strategy to selling homes today in the area.

Many Home owners and Realtors are seeking the professional advise of a home stager prior to listing a home because statistics have proved year over year that staged homes sell faster and for more money than comparable homes not staged.

I recently received a call from home owners that lived on Chester Street in Georgetown South. Their home had been on the market for over 7 months and it had been reduced significantly over this period of time. The home was listed by their agent as the best value per square foot in the Georgetown South area for sale. Still, buyers could not appreciate and see the value in this wonderful home. I was hired to conduct a home staging consultation and during those 2 hours the homeowner and I transformed 3 of their rooms on the spot by editing and rearranging the furniture to showcase the space and size of the rooms. My painter was called in to paint 3 bedrooms and after completion I came back to showcase and accessorize the home. I'm proud to say that my home staging services got their home sold in 2 weeks and for full asking price.

This is what the home owners had to say about Kelly Heaps and Home Staging Top Sales:

Dear Kelly,

I just wanted to say that your expertise and professionalism staging our home, after being on the market for 7 months, finally made the difference and our home has been sold!
Having you come over and assess what might make the difference in the way we presented our home is truly what we believe, made the sale occur. I would recommend you in an instant to future home owners trying to sell their homes.
Your exceptional ability to understand our concerns was especially important to Michelle and I as this was a trying and stressful time for us. Thanks again - appreciate all you have done. Only two weeks after your work, our house sold!
