Staccie Bracken-Horrocks
AN AGENT WHO WORKS HARD FOR YOU
The most important evaluation of all… “As new immigrants and not knowing the system very well we are very happy because we now have our lovely new home and Staccie… we say a big THANK YOU. We could not have done it without you. We felt safe, secure and pleased with the impeccable service rendered.”
“I found Staccie to be a very professional realtor, very helpful in a number of ways in order to sell my home in a timely manner. She was also instrumental in helping me find and purchase my new home which is exactly what I was looking for. She is a spitfire of a realtor!” ~ Marlene Boehm
~ Lorriane and Alvin Lewis “Staccie, you are by far one of the best individuals I have ever worked with regarding real estate… (maybe ever!) I will not forget your unparalled work ethics and professionalism. Thanks again.” ~ Dusty R. Cooper
Staccie was objective, candid and very helpful with the myriad of details involved in selecting a property. The main factor for us was Staccie’s professionalism - we have interacted with a lot of different realtors over the years and without a doubt, Staccie was the best. ~ Dr. Matheson ‘San Francisco Client’

DREAMS
A
well-designed deck should combine comfort, intimacy, and functionality while looking as inviting as possible. If it’s well organized, it will be an indispensable place for relaxing and entertaining friends. Think about how you want to use the space. For relaxation, choose a banquette with big cushions, attractive chairs, a hammock, or a hanging seat. A
~ Total 5 Beds/4 Baths ~ 82ft Lake Frontage, Tip of Wood Lake ~ 15 Minutes to
small table will add functionality to this space. If you’re more interested in creating a dining area, choose a versatile table and opt for long benches rather than chairs. You’ll maximize the available space and be able to entertain more people. For a deck with a country look, choose traditional materials, such as wrought iron, wood, or bamboo, combined with accessories in soft, natural colours. For a more contemporary decor, choose furnishings in teak or composite and be daring with colours. For the finishing touch, place hanging plants, potted plants, or even climbing plants in strategic positions. You could flowers in colours that harmonize with your decor.
