It's November 2nd, 2009 and many people over the week end have been putting things away for the winter. Yes!! I said it, the "W" word. Winter is coming soon.
I took the time this week-end to put all our summer things away, get the pool winterized, put the patio set away, hide the lawnmower and all those things we don't use during the winter months. There you go!! All set for the cold winter months. If you are a skiier then it's great! The skis & snowboard (for my son, not me) is ready and waiting near the garage door.
One more thing that many people will overlook or forget is the tap for the water outside, side, front or back of the house. Make sure to turn off your tap because you could be faced with a not so nice surprise in Spring. A frozen pipe can be a challenge, with the cost of a plumber to come fix it and also water damage inside your house. Make sure to also disconnect any hose attached to the tap.
You can also look at my Video Blog on it if you want.
Have a great day! and enjoy the sunshine here in Ottawa
The townhouses in Rockland Town Square are coming along very well. The road has been paved and the second set of four homes are now framed. The first set of four have all the doors and windows in, so you can actually see them taking shape. We are still selling the second block of townhouses but we are getting a lot of interest, so if you are thinking about buying one, you better hurry!
The second series of four is now up
the road is paved

Tonight's the night where many kids will be running the roads on Halloween night. It can be a fun experience ( I remember when I was a kid, a few years ago ... ) but you always must keep safety in mind. Here are a few quick tips, mostly common sense tips.
- Be visible (reflective tape, light costumes, etc...)
- Make sure you can see out of your mask
- Make sure you can freely move in your costume so you don't trip
- Use the sidewalks, not the street, whenever possible
- Kids should not be running, take your time and look both ways before crossing the street
- Remind the kids NOT to enter any home
- Know exactly where your kids are going
- Think twice and remind the kids to do the same
As adults we must take extra precaution when driving around this evening. It's a fun night, let's make sure the kids remember the fun part of it!
Happy Halloween!!

It's that ime of the year again. A long week-end ( one extra hour ). Time to turn the clocks back.
Just remember that if your house is listed and you are going to get visits, make sure to leave some more light on. It will be getting dark a but ealrier and agents might have some difficulties to open the lock box. Please turn on the porch light. It makes it easier for us.It's also a good idea to leave a few lights on inside the house to make the visit more pleasant instead of having to search for the light switches and turn on all the lights
While you are going around your house this week end, changing all the clocks, radios, etc ... why not check your smoke detectors to ensure that your batteries are still in working order. It will take you an extra minute or two but it could save a life.
Enjoy your Halloween week-end, be safe and have fun!
WOW, it's October 26th and the market is hot.
A brand new listing hit the mls system last Wednesday. We had 19 visits and 10 couples come through the Open House. This was a beautiful home ,well maitained and on a nice corner lot.
We had six (6) yes ,six offer come in on this great home after being on the market for only 6 days. We met at the house at 6:00PM and wrapped things up by 7:00PM. The house is now SOLD firm. The clients that put the best offer came in at more than asking price with no conditions whatsoever. The Sellers were very happy to see a firm offer, the buyers of the accepted offer were also very happy. Unfortunately 5 couples are not as happy of the outcome.
When you are competing with multiple offers you have to make sure that you put your best offer forward. You might only get one chance.
The Ottawa Real Estate market is still very active so if you are thinking of selling, now's the time.
