A licensed Realtor® such as myself has access to local market data and tools to analyze recent sales. This helps you be able to set a competitive price that will attract the largest amount of buyers without undervaluing your property.

I am constantly staying informed on the current market trends and whether it is a buyer or sellers market which allows me to adjust my strategy accordingly. Insight like this is crucial to make sure our timing is correct and I am able to set realistic expectations.

3) Access to a large network

MLS and its capability and reach is invaluable when you are listing your home. I also have great relationships with other agents in the city and province to help me find you the perfect home, that may not even be on the market yet. I also have relationships with home builders, contractors, designers and much more.

I have the marketing knowledge and ability to know how to market your home the most effectively to find you the most amount of buyers.

Real estate transactions involve extensive paperwork for both parties in a transaction. Knowing how to handle all the paperwork is crucial in being able to ensure nothing is missed or not completed correctly. It is important an agent is aware of such things as disclosures and contingencies. I am also able to recommend the right lawyer to help with your deal.

This is a big time in your life and I don’t ever take that lightly.

If you have lived in Saskatchewan as long as I have (my whole life) you know about our Saskatchewan winters. Although mild at times they can be extremely harsh. While other parts of the world complain about -10, we see temperatures that can dip all the way to -40 (with the windchill) sometimes even colder.

Prepping your home for the winter conditions, especially in Saskatchewan is very important especially when you want to keep your home energy efficient and protected from the harsh conditions which include heavy snow and high winds. 

1) Prepare your exterior - make sure that you are prepped and ready for that first snow fall. It’s normal for us to be in denial about when its happening (yesterday was +20 on an October day) We can never get around it. I am sure by now everyone has moved or removed their potted plants from outside. Trim any trees that may break under the weight of the snow or ice damage your home. Clean gutters, check your roof for damages including any cracks or potential leaks. Make sure you blow out your sprinkers or have a company do that for you. If you have a wood burning fireplace make sure you inspect that for drafts. Also make sure you have shut off and drained any exterior taps. 

2) Attic/Basement - It is always good to check if you have adequate insulation in your attic and to add any more if needed. Check your basement and/or crawl space that may be letting in any cold air. 

3) Furnace and Vents - Make sure your furnace has been serviced by a professional and running efficiently. High efficient furnaces are a great investment especially in Saskatchewan. Replace filters and make sure vents are clear. Using a humidifier is also a great tip especially since the winters can be so dry.

4) Test all your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors - Replace old batteries. I am sure we have all encountered the beeping that seems to only start in the middle of the night when you are sleeping. 

5) Windows and doors - Check for any drafts around your windows and doors. Sometimes you need to add extra caulking to seal any gaps. Also door sweeps are a great addition to exterior doors that might be letting in some extra cold air.

6) Seal your driveway - Sealing will create a barrier that prevents water, snow and ice from penetrating the surface which can cause unnecessary cracks and damage to the driveway.

7)) Prepare for snow removal - Stock up on all your supplies and make sure they are readily available. Even throw that snow brush in trunk for that dreaded first snow fall. Make sure you have some sort of ice melt to protect yourself, your children and any visitors. 

Here is just a few tips to get your home ready for our cold Saskatchewan winters.
