You need a

REALTOR

and it’s not why you think You can go online and get all the information you need, right? Although you likely know that they show houses, list homes on the MLS®, host open houses, etc – these are just the profession’s basics.

Here’s what a REALTOR® helps you achieve (that the internet can’t compete with):

Minimize stress - Renovations, cleaning, time off work, packing, hiring a sitter, repairs — all on top of your busy life! Now, picture yourself navigating real estate processes and forms, from discovery to negotiation to offers to closing. A REALTOR® is your professional guide and takes care of the details. They also connect you with the high quality home services and products you need, often at a nice discount.

Why not sell it yourself?

REALTOR® listings sell for 20% more* Become an insider - Imagine you saw homes before they hit the market, or you had interested buyers before your listing went live. REALTORS® spend day-in, dayout building relationships with new customers and fellow professionals

because to be successful, they always need to be in the know.

Avoid losses - You need

experience and instincts to say the right thing, at the right time during pricing negotiations. Also, using the wrong terms, missing a form, or overlooking a contract condition can lose you the deal – or, worse – end in legal trouble. REALTORS® are trained negotiators whose success depends on getting you the most value.

Get the best price - If you’re selling: What’s your home’s pricing sweet spot to sell fastest for top dollar? Which renovations add value in your market? Would staging or some quick ﬁxes make your home sell better? If you’re buying: Where’s hidden potential hiding, both in homes and in areas that are just starting to rise? What’s the best bidding strategy? REALTORS® have frontline advice to get you most value, in less time. Get local expertise - Have

you read real estate market predictions in the media? They change almost daily. REALTORS® are on the ground and embedded

in trends before they happen. They hear your needs and match them with emerging areas and homes, and can advise on the best time to invest based on your community’s sales history.

Homeowners won’t go solo ~ 90%

worked with a REALTOR® *

Maximize the internet -

Which websites host the most buyers and properties? What’s an effective online marketing plan? REALTORS® have access to extra resources and tried-andtrue tactics. For instance, listings reach over 2 million searchers on century21.ca every month, and century21global.com offers exposure to buyers and properties worldwide. Ultimately, REALTOR® success revolves around saving you time, minimizing stress, and ensuring you get the best price. By: Martin Charlwood Vice Chairman & CEO CENTURY 21 CanadaTM

Design

by the Rules

It’s falltime and everybody’s in the renovating spirit. While it is common for homeowners to feel the need to overhaul their entire home, signing on for a total overhaul can be overwhelming. Choosing to take on smaller projects can still give you the satisfaction of achieving a beautiful renovation without consuming too much of your time, energy and money. Start with creating a wish list for all of your desired home renovation projects, then prioritize by listing your top three most important projects. Most of the time, the top priorities for homeowners tend to be kitchens, bathroom, flooring and painting. These four projects will surely add the most value to your home. Having worked with many reputable Realtors throughout my career and having designed for HGTV’s Income Property for nine years, I know firsthand that kitchens and bathrooms are the top projects that any homeowner should consider to increase the value of their home.

FALL 2015 CENTURY 21 Canada

KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS Whether you are going to tear it all out, or give your space a fresh update, the first thing to consider is layout. Ask yourself if the current layout is working for you. As always, it’s wise to consult with an interior designer as they can offer expert advice on how to properly plan alternative options for your kitchen or bathroom and give you a layout that will provide proper flow and function based on your lifestyle. Once your layout is established, look for finishes and materials that will stand the test of time; pick colours that are elegant and appealing to a wide variety of tastes. When in doubt, white cabinetry is a classic choice and won’t become outdated. Marble floors and countertops are an investment that will always pay for themselves. For a low cost but high impact update, pick some smart ceramic tiles for your walls and keep it classic with timeless chrome fixtures. PAINT Nothing says fresh like a new coat of paint, and it’s recommended that a house should be refreshed every 5-7 years. If you are trying to sell, update or simply impress, a new coat of paint will go a long way. The once popular beige has now been replaced by a new trendy colour called ‘greige’. The key to

century21.ca/lifeathome

picking the right grey is to ensure it has a warm undertone. Usually a brown undertone is a sure bet to guarentee that your colour doesn’t feel too concrete-like. LIGHTING Bringing in a key light fixture is a quick fix that will create a lot of drama. Light fixtures not only add sparkle to a room, but also make the space feel warm and inviting. When selling a home, chandeliers can really elevate the look of your space and impress potential home buyers. FLOORS Updating your hardwood floors and tiles is a guaranteed investment to make your property look like new. Consult with a designer

century21.ca/lifeathome

or contractor to ensure that you understand the difference between solid wood, engineered and laminate floors. Choose colours wisely as trends come and go quickly, as in the case with reddish-toned woods that have now become less desirable to homebuyers. Medium brown and dark brown woods are still the right choice for a classic home, while whitewashed and natural oak floors are hot for modern and contemporary properties.

Whether you are ready to tackle a small renovation or a large overhaul, always research the project you wish to undertake prior to starting. Consider consulting with the right experts to get everything structured before you get started as it will help save you time, money and aggravation.

The accepted standard for measuring a building’s “greenness” is LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. This certification program recognizes sustainable design solutions based on a points system. While all of these typical green building elements and considerations provide an excellent benchmark for building standards, LEED fails miserably in building performance follow-up once the project is in operation. The highest scoring building often fails to meet performance targets and under utilizes its systems effectively. This low-performing building

PATRICK L EH M A N

GOOD OL’ CANADIAN KID: MONTREALER TAKES THE COUNTRY BY THE SOUL Patrick Lehman might be the pitch-perfect archetypal Canadian boy. Born to a French mother and English father with some Irish roots, he sings sweet sounding soul tunes from the heart with a workmanlike ethic to his musical game. Recently named “Canada’s Best Kept Soul Secret” by CBC Radio, he’s a nod to all the artists out there who still build their career through playing countless shows, touring relentlessly and never taking anything for granted. Currently living in Toronto, hailing from La belle Province and having spent time in New York, he’s also well-traveled when it comes to the music scene. “We live in a great country where if you work hard, you’ll get something. You might not become a huge star or become rich and famous, but if you’re doing it because you love it and work hard, you’ll get somewhere.” After his first album with the Pat Lehman Band, the singer/songwriter/producer wanted to leave a much more personal stamp with his next endeavour. Enter

Butchy’s Son, named after his late father. “I’ve been working on the album over the course of two years, and I didn’t want to rush anything, and during that process my dad passed away very suddenly.” Lehman’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather all have the first name Leo, which led to some out of the box nicknames in their households. “Growing up back in the day, instead of saying junior they’d say butch, so it’s definitely an intimate title. I wanted to honour him in a certain way and pay my respects.”

FALL 2015 CENTURY 21 Canada

Currently, you can purchase Butchy’s Son through Tidal, Google Play, Amazon or iTunes, and Lehman has accounts with Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, SoundCloud and Spotify all dedicated to his craft. Lehman said that despite all of the tech-savvy marketing behind him, he still regularly spins records on a vinyl player and buys CDs when he

frenetic with our listening habits.

Regardless of the output, he said his input is always the same: letting the creativity flow through an instrument and keeping an open mind. The end result is a Canadian boy filled with musical talent, bursting at the seams.

“All of the songs that I’ve loved to this day, I didn’t totally get the first time. But when I listened to it a few times, I fell in love with it. So I think it’s both a good and bad thing. People can get music right away but they can move onto the next thing right away, so there needs to be that balance.”

“For me it always just starts with sitting down at the piano or the guitar and not really thinking about what genre or production is going to come later on. It’s hard to say where I fit. I’m still trying to find out what I’d call my music, maybe modern RnB with an old school feel. But in the end it doesn’t really matter that much.”

THE NATURAL: KING, ONTARIO PROPERTY OFFERS UP A QUIET ESCAPE The definition of natural derives from the word nature, in which something exists with ease, and is not forced or contrived. Upon entering 16410 7th Concession Road in King, Ontario, the beautiful hand-scraped walnut hardwood floors are just the first element to evoke that very feeling of being close to our earthly

surroundings, far away from the urban jungles of the city. “This really is a natural paradise,” says listing Realtor Michele Denniston of CENTURY 21 Heritage Group Ltd. “It’s literally in the woods, located on five private acres.” With approximately 4,500 square feet of living space, there is also an attention to detail that sets this property head and shoulders above the rest. Complete with 24-foot ceilings and solid eight-foot doors, all replete with custom trim, the finishings offer design elements teeming with love and care. The wood-burning fireplace is one of the many centrepieces around the home, as well as the custom kitchen with a wraparound breakfast bar and Quartz countertops, perfect for Sunday brunches or large potluck gatherings.

“When I step inside this home, it feels like a space perfectly crafted for a family,” adds Denniston. “With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, it offers all the space needed, but it also retains a flexibility to it. There’s room to grow, room to move around and room to customize this home to whatever fits your needs.” The master bedroom features vaulted, coffered ceilings, a five-piece ensuite and walk-in closet for the heads of the household, invariably a mini-paradise within a home that is the embodiment of paradise.

Highway 400 and Highway 9, it is also within walking distance to some of King’s finest private schools and local amenities. “My thoughts always go back to nature with this property,” says Denniston. “A quiet paradise sitting in the woods, ready for a busy family looking for a perfect place to call home.”

“The layout gives each room space, so you can gather for a movie or games, or retreat to a quiet corner of the house,” said Denniston. Outside, the backyard is a picturesque enclave on the edge of a forest, offering ample space for playtime or any recreational activities you desire. Just minutes to

century21.ca/lifeathome

savvy renovation always makes for a good return on your investment. Renovating your

home can certainly be costly, but doing it right is more important than trying to save a few bucks by cutting corners. Just like many of us, you too might be feeling the itch to start updating and bringing your space up to current times. When tackling a bathroom, kitchen or even a larger overhaul, one thing to remember is that it is always important to consult with experts. As a designer, I have had to rescue jobs gone wrong numerous times. In the end, the costly price of fixing mistakes winds up being much greater for the homeowner than consulting with a designer and doing it right from the beginning. Whether large or small, when the itch to remodel hits you, always begin with careful planning to ensure that you get the most out of your renovation budget.

CENTURY 21 Canada FALL 2015

BEFORE ENTERING INTO A RENOVATION, GET YOURSELF IN GEAR BY FOLLOWING THESE FIVE STEPS: Begin with Inspiration Design inspiration can come from many creative sources such as an HGTV design show, magazines, nature or art. Even your favourite travel destination might inspire you to remodel. Create a stylebook and fill it with photos of your favourite images, decor and artwork. You can even browse the online portfolios of designers like me for inspirational remodelling ideas. Design sessions with an interior designer are a great opportunity to hone into your style and colour palette and also useful for learning important renovation tips. Define Your Goals and Priorities Create a list and prioritize all the projects you wish to complete, including any major repairs. No matter what size your renovation is, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to consider all logistical details â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from plumbing and electrical to your HVAC system.

FALL 2015 CENTURY 21 Canada

century21.ca/lifeathome

Create a Budget and Timeline Determine the money you have to spend and establish a timeline for completion. Knowing this will help you stay on budget and ensure you reach your goal without steering down a path you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan on. I always tell my clients to put aside 15% for a contingency fund, which shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be confused with overspending as it is to be used for those unpredictable construction costs. Make sure to work and consult with a designer, and invest in floor plans. Contractors need floor plans to communicate the design intention and not having a set of plans onsite can leave room for costly errors and discrepancies.

DINING STYLISHLY

FALL 2015 CENTURY 21 Canada

Dining rooms can often be one of the most challenging rooms to style as their main elements essentially consist of just a table and chairs. Although it is not the room that is used most frequently in your house, it is still an important element in your main floor living area. Mainly used for large family gatherings and special occasions, this formal room shouldn’t be overlooked in the design process and should mirror the special celebrations that it hosts.

1. Switch Out the Furniture

Here are some helpful design tips to give your dining room a beautiful, stylish and elegant look. When you follow these key elements, the room in which you thought was the hardest to work around can actually become one of the easiest spaces to transform. Now you only have to worry about what vino to serve!

2. Break Up the Furniture

Designer Catherine-Lucie Horber is the Principal of Royal Interior Design Ltd .The firm provides decorating, staging and renovating services for both small and full scale residential projects throughout the GTA. Known for creating elegant & affordable design solutions tailored to suit different lifestyles. www.royalinteriordesign.ca

3. Lighting

Most dining sets come with a full hutch, as well as a matching table and chairs. Usually the table is the biggest piece, so keep it, but consider switching out the chairs. Try adding two large chairs in an upholstered fabric on each end of the table or re-upholster the existing fabric on the seats. Elements of surprise are a great way to make your dining room feel updated and also breaks up too much of one textile in the room.

Instead of simply using the traditional furniture sets in the dining room, mix things up a little. Add a custom bench on one side instead of traditional chairs to add interest and make the room more comfortable for your guests. You can also break up the hutch by keeping the bottom part (if it is a two-piece hutch) and adding a marble piece on top to create a sideboard.

Of all the rooms in the house, the dining room light fixture is the most important, as everything else centres around it. It will be

century21.ca/lifeathome

make it feel bigger, much like how drapery helps to tie the overall scheme of the room together. your most expensive element to purchase, but definitely worth the investment. Go big, long and impactful! Make a statement either with crystals, metals, a big shade, or a combination of it all. 4. Drapery Drapery is also very important in this room as it helps to introduce some fabric in the space. Unlike a living room or bedroom where there are a lot of opportunities to use different fabrics in pillows, throws, chairs, sofas, etc., a dining room is more limited. Silks, taffetas or beautifully embroidered linens can all be incorporated to add drama and elegance to any dining room. 5. Use the walls and ceilings to create interest Since there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a wide variety

century21.ca/lifeathome

of design elements to play with in the dining room, every element counts. In the case of a dining room, use the walls to help add texture and contrast. Consider adding a beautiful focal point like a bold wallpaper, wainscoting, or applied moulding to the space, or select a darker paint colour on the walls or just the ceiling for a dramatic effect.

7. Artwork and mirrors

6. Consider an area rug

Accessorizing with the right colour palette with your dishes, napkin rings and placemats helps to tie the theme together. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to have a little fun with your accessories, like putting little decorative accents inside or around the plates. Flowers, a combination of candles or groupings of coloured vases can all be used as sophisticated centrepieces.

One important item often forgotten for the dining room is an area rug. Although you may have concerns about dirt or friction with your dining chairs, an area rug is an essential item for any dining room. Select a rug that is low pile, easy to clean and maintain, and in colours or patterns that are very forgiving. It helps to soften up the space, add definition and overall

Big mirrors with funky shapes and styles, or colourful and impactful artwork above a sideboard are great design elements to add to any dining room, as it becomes the secondary focal point after the light fixture. A mirror will help to double the space, reflect the light and add some glitter to the room. 8. Accessories and centrepieces
