As a condition of maintaining their real estate license REALTORSÂŽ regularly attend courses and programs focusing on various aspects of the industry. Specific numbers of credit points have to be acquired each year to maintain their license. In addition, specialized courses, conferences and participation in self-directed or on-line learning occur above and beyond those mandatory training programs. The result of all of this effort is the knowledge that your REALTORÂŽ will bring the latest and most relevant information to the buying or selling of your property. Professional Development: it's not just desired, it's mandatory.

COMMITTING TO A MORTGAGE WITH YOUR HONEY? Consider these house hunting essentials (NC) House-hunting couples have many important decisions to make together – from deciding on a new-build condo or centuryold bungalow to agreeing on the ideal neighbourhood and the type of mortgage that will work best for them. According to research from TD Canada Trust, 73% of Canadians bought or expect to buy their first home with their significant other. Since a home is the biggest purchase most couples will make, Farhaneh Haque, director of mortgage advice at TD Canada Trust, provides her top three tips to ensure couples are on the same page before hitting any open houses. Air out financial closets – Couples should be open and honest about their current financial situation and financial history. If anything
could affect the ability to secure a loan together, afford monthly mortgage payments or interest rate increases, be upfront about it.
characteristics they want in a home, and what they are and are not willing to compromise on. Saying ‘I do’ to a mortgage – Couples need to give as much thought to their mortgage as they do to their dream home. This includes discussing the size of the down payment, amortization period, type of mortgage and payment schedule.
Start on the same foot – From a home office to a kitchen made for entertaining, couples should set a budget and discuss the key
“The last thing couples want is an unwelcome surprise when they’re about to sign on the dotted line,” Haque said. “By speaking with a mortgage specialist well before you’ve entered the pressure-cooker of the house hunt, couples can make informed decisions that can save money and stress in the long run.”
DE-CLUTTERING...
is the secret to an organized home (NC) Everyone has a pantry that could be organized more efficiently, or a spice drawer that could use a little attention, but whipping your home into shape actually has more benefits than simply visual appeal. Experts say that an organized space may, in fact, reduce stress and create a more enjoyable living environment. “Clearing the clutter not only allows for a more attractive space in the home or office, but creates a more manageable lifestyle,” says Hellen Buttigieg, a certified professional organizer, life coach and author of Organizing Outside the Box. “My clients are shocked to find how dramatically an organized space can reduce stress and free up time to engage in more meaningful activities.” To avoid the energy-drain and dysfunction of clutter, there’s an easy solution: start labelling. Try a compact, easy-to-use label maker such as the Brother P-Touch PT-D200 model. According to a new Léger Marketing national survey, commissioned by Brother Canada, 75 per cent of moms agree that implementing a labelling system in the home or office would make life easier and save time in the long run. Take a look at these ideas for different places in your house: KITCHEN • Label spices. Avoid licking your finger every time you need to choose between sugar or salt. • In the pantry, label specific types of flour, baking products, pasta, and cereals so the
Build an eco-friendly home to withstand extreme weather
family knows what they are pulling out, and make meal prep easy. • Store and organize instruction manuals and warranty cards in a file folder, label and sort according to each room in the home. • Keep track of permission slips, registration forms, and schedules in a file folder. Label a tab for each family member and organize by sporting activities, school events, medical information, and other important paperwork that needs to be accessible in a snap. HOME OFFICE • Keep tax information organized for easy reference. Label files in the cabinet for receipts according to month; subcategorize by type of expense: medical, transportation, business expenses, etc. • Neatly store unused power cords in a basket and label to identify which device each cord belongs to. LAUNDRY ROOM & FRONT ENTRANCE • Personalize hooks in the laundry room so kids know where to drop their backpack, raincoat, and scarf when they arrive home from school. • Label baskets for scarves, hats and gloves to make winter dressing a breeze. Once you start labelling you’ll see how fun and easy it is to keep your home neat, organized and more functional.
(NC) Did you know: Climate change experts in Canada, studying the past 16 years, say that due to higher temperatures, we will continue to cope with the destruction of weather extremes such as the colliding wind and rain systems experienced with Hurricane Sandy last year. The infrastructure and home-building industry are already on target for superior occupant protection, pointing to an energy saving concrete system that is already popular in green construction. Locking together like Lego, the pre-assembled insulated concrete form (ICF) produces walls with hurricane and tornado impact-resistance up to 250 miles per hour. As compared to wood, these walls are also far more sound-resistant, fire resistant, and deliver energy savings and occupant health benefits as well. By eliminating wood framing, all drafts, cold spots, and potential mold growth are virtually eliminated, according to leading ICF supplier, Nudura, and homeowners report energy bill savings up to 70 per cent. Be aware that an upgrade to concrete walls is an option to be requested before construction begins. For builders, the newest efficiencies of this type requires keeping up with latest technology and how to apply it. The switch to concrete walls represents just one of the major advancements in home construction today, so if energy savings, durability, investment value, and occupant comfort are at the top of your ‘dream home’ list, more information is available online at: www. nudura.com.

PET TIP: THE COLD AND WET WEATHER CAN BE EXTREMELY HARD ON ALL ANIMALS. SOME HORSES DON’T DRINK AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD WHICH CAN CAUSE A HORSE TO COLIC. GIVE THEM WARM WATER. COLD WATER THEY HAVE TO BRING UP TO BODY TEMPERATURE WHICH TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY WHEN THE ANIMAL IS ALREADY COLD. IF YOU USE TROUGH HEATERS BE CAREFUL THAT THEY ARE GROUNDED PROPERLY BECAUSE IF THEY ARE NOT THEY GET A SHOCK OR TINGLING SENSATION ON THEIR LIPS AND THEY WON’T GO NEAR THE WATER. THERE ARE NEW HEATED BUCKETS AVAILABLE THAT ARE FABULOUS AND DON’T REQUIRE GROUNDING AND YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING ICE EVER. SNOW AND ICE ARE NOT WATER FOR A LARGE ANIMAL.
