Visiting the Gulf Islands How do you decide which ones to see first? The islands share West Coast natural beauty and weather, and a culture forged from generations of independent-thinking residents, yet each has its own character, history and amenities, which are readily discerned through a visit or two. They range substantially in size, population and services, but all of them offer safe, rural environments and a sense of getting away from it all — not that they don’t hum with activity on weekends during the height of visitor season. Read about each island on our website gulfislandstourism.com - and find what piques your interest. You can plan a trip around one of the many special events. The Gulf Islands have long been described as a place to relax, rejuvenate and recharge from the hectic pace of today’s busy life. And the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve offers a host of incredible experiences for you to accomplish those goals. Surrounded by growing urban centres, the islands are an oasis of sorts, offering an opportunity to connect with the landscape and revel in the life that thrives within it. Whatever you seek and whatever you discover, we know that once you’ve seen the Gulf Islands for yourself, you’ll stop wondering why they’re such a celebrated part of the world.

250.526.2626 Serving Salt Spring Island & the Southern Gulf Islands

If you are thinking about selling your home... …and you select me to list and market your home, I will deliver your message to thousands of potential buyers and realtors who are looking to purchase. My goal is to deliver you a buyer that offers you the price and terms you are satisﬁed with.

Why should you list your home with me? I currently have several motivated and qualified buyers. As a Realtor® with Royal LePage, I receive comprehensive professional training on a regular basis adding further value to my high level of service. Royal LePage connects me with buyers from other offices throughout the country looking for properties on Salt Spring Island. ✓ I know the real estate business ✓ I know the island ✓ I know real estate law and practices ✓ I am committed to giving your home ultimate marketing exposure ✓ I will keep you informed at all times on exactly what is going on with your property and the local market ✓ Your success is my success My job is negotiations and transaction management…I am well trained to make sure your needs are met and your real estate transaction is handled smoothly. I am confident you will be happy with my service. See below what my clients have to say: I personally had a lot of dealings with Paul in the past few months of this year. One was a personal move where our landlord sold their place; the other was an estate property. Paul earned my trust through his thoughtful ways, professional knowledge, creative thinking and writing and his compassionate heart. He made both transactions stress-free which I am very thankful for as dealing with one property can be draining enough never mind two! Paul kept me informed at all times and honoured my feelings during these times. I was impressed with his interaction and respectful ways he spoke of the other realtors on island. This is a credit to him. I wish Paul continue success and would not hesitate to refer him in the future. - SUSANNAH DEVITT “My husband and I really enjoyed working with Paul. He understood right away what we were looking for in a home and made it happen in a short, stress-free time period. His patience and understanding along with

his knowledge of Salt Spring Island paired with his experience of house building and renovations, makes him the best realtor to deal with. HIGHLY recommend! - MICHELLE BOIZARD “We enjoyed working with Paul as he was respectful of our feelings during this time as this was our final move. He was eager, efficient and accommodating. He was there on closing day to lend a hand. We appreciated his service very much. - WALTER & DONNA MORT When we made a decision to purchase a home on Salt Spring Island, we traveled to island and started our search by arranging to meet with Paul Zolob of Royal LePage. This was our bestand smartest move! Paul exceeded our expectations with his level of service. He was at available at all times to answer our questions and to drive us to every conceivable location to view properties helping us find the kind of home we required. Paul’s friendly demeanor,

Paul Zolob ASSOCIATE BROKER/REALTOR®

his attention to detail, patience and willingness to go the extra mile to make us feel like a Salt Spring Island family made our house hunting experience a genuine pleasure. Today Paul is no longer “just” a realtor to us, but a good friend! In our opinion if you are interested in top-notch service from a knowledgeable realtor Paul Zolob of Royal LePage would be your best and wisest choice. - MARK FEDIKOW & RUTH BEZYS We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping us ﬁnd the perfect home to raise our family. We love our home, the neighborhood, and the community! As we started to look (from out of province), the mailings you sent, along with your website, were extremely helpful as we were going through our initial decision process. After we decided to move to Salt Spring your experience in this market really came into play. Your knowledge of the neighborhoods, home construction,

schools and attention to our other needs (inspectors and insurance providers), was so valuable and helped guide us in making the right decisions. - GREG & TRISH STAICESKU We contacted Paul because of his extensive knowledge of the island and its communities and his expertise in evaluating a home’s ‘bones’. He didn’t disappoint. Paul took the time to show us properties at both ends of our price range and in all the communities on the island so we could evaluate for ourselves, which were most desirable within our price range. Once the decision was made, Paul helped us understand the history and construction of the home we chose, and then made the buying process seamless and hasslefree. We deﬁnitely recommend Paul to any prospective buyer or seller. - GRANT GRAYSON & ELENA DUNN

Now is the time! I have qualified, motivated buyers. If you are thinking of selling now is the time to put your property on the market. Low interest rates are your friend… and buyers know that rock-bottom mortgages can’t last forever! Houses tend to sell faster in spring and summer largely in part due to families wanting to be settled before the new school year begins. Don’t change a thing Before making any changes, renovating or even painting, give me a call. I can help you assess what needs to be done to have your home ready for the market quickly. Don’t just list your home — market it. People are doing so much more research ahead of time. Today’s buyers are demanding. They are savvier about market dynamics and data. I will tailor a marketing strategy to target suitable buyers.

Strategic Pricing Price it right! Pricing is very important these days. Pricing right will create the traffic needed to bring the right buyer to see your property. In the first week a listing goes on the market, it gets approximately four times as many visits as a month later. Different pricing strategies can have different outcomes based on current market conditions. It is important to understand how to effectively set a listing price. I can provide you with this information to get the optimum result in the sale of your home. Most importantly, choose the right realtor ....that is me! Paul

Three surefire value-adding renovation projects Protect real estate investments Are you ready to create some lasting memories now that the good weather days are returning? No matter whether it’s enjoying the company of family or taking in the beautiful landscapes of Canada, there is always a little piece of paradise that can be found during those scorching hot days. You don’t, however, have to travel very far to find your oasis. With a few renovations, you can create a world that reflects you and your family — and projects of this kind also help to protect your investment. “Renovations add value to your property,” says Sylvain Renaud, vice president, personal lines at Intact Insurance. “Before you do any renovation work, my first tip is to contact your broker to make sure you’re sufficiently covered.” www.newscanada.com

Here are three more summer renovation tips: 1. Driveway If your driveway is pushing 20 years old, it’s probably time to redo it. The materials in asphalt start to fail over time and patching up spots is only a temporary fix for a bigger problem. Warmer months provide the perfect opportunity to create a smooth, bump free driveway, with time and high temperatures being key factors to avoid premature hardening. 2. Protect your basement from water damage When refinishing the basement, make sure to deep-seal the concrete to prevent water seepage, water vapour and soil gases like radon. This can protect you from problems down the road. 3. Roof Replacing your roof can save you money in the long run. Use materials that are resistant to hail and wind for both the roof and siding.

Tips for first-time home buyers No need to be overwhelmed Buying a home for the first time is an exciting period in a person’s life. Deciding to buy a home often indicates buyers are ready to establish firm roots in a community where they can see themselves living for years to come. The process of buying a home is rarely easy, and first-time buyers may feel overwhelmed at times. Such feelings are perfectly normal and felt by first-time buyers regardless of their budgets or home preferences. But there are a few ways to make buying a home more enjoyable than it is nerve-wracking. • Examine your finances. The first step toward buying a home has nothing to do with deciding if you prefer a craftsman- or Tudor-style home. Before you even begin your search for a home, carefully examine your finances to determine how much is coming in and how much is going out of your household each month. Figure out how much debt you are currently carrying, be it student loan, automotive, consumer or any other types of debt. Order a credit report so you can see how prospective lenders are likely to see you, and address any errors you find on the report before meeting with any lenders. Peruse past bank statements to track your spending habits, looking for areas where you might be able to scale back if need be. • Be prepared when visiting lenders. Prospective borrowers can make the home-buying process go smoothly by having all of the necessary documentation ready when visiting potential

lenders. Many mortgage lenders will want to see some recent pay stubs (from both borrowers if buying with a spouse or partner), a couple years’ worth of tax returns, as well as your recent bank statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. • Secure financing before you begin house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage pre-approval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, pre-approval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer. • Work with a local real estate agent. Real estate agents are an invaluable resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never before purchased a home. Agents can help first-time buyers navigate the often confusing and, at times, disappointing process of buying a home. Choose an agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of additional issues that first-time buyers may not think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease first-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes.

How to determine if downsizing is for you Check market, lifestyle and inventory of possession As men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need. Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step, one that homeowners should give ample consideration before making their final decisions. The following are a handful of tips to help homeowners determine if downsizing to smaller homes is the right move. • Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely about money, but it’s important that homeowners consider the real estate market before putting their homes up for sale. Speak with a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current state of your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings may be negated if you sell your house in a buyer’s market instead of a seller’s market. If you think the current market won’t get you the price you are hoping for, delay your downsize until the market rebounds. • Take inventory of what’s in your house. Empty nesters often find that their homes are still filled with their children’s possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by items that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing and invite them over to pick through any items still in your home. Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what

you cannot sell. Once all of the items are gone, you may realize that moving into a smaller place is the financially prudent decision. • Examine your own items as well. Your children’s items are likely not the only items taking up space in your home. Take inventory of your own possessions as well, making note of items you can live without and those you want to keep. If the list of items you can live without is extensive, then you probably won’t have a problem moving into a smaller home. If you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to many of your possessions, then you might benefit from staying put for a little while longer. • Consider your retirement lifestyle. If you have already retired or on the verge of retirement and plan to spend lots of time traveling, then downsizing to a smaller home may free up money you can spend on trips. And if you really do see yourself as a silver-haired jetsetter, then you likely won’t miss your current home because you won’t be home frequently enough to enjoy it. If travel is not high on your retirement to-do list but you have a hobby, such as crafting, restoring classic cars or woodworking, that you hope to turn into a second profession, then you might benefit from staying put and converting your existing space into a workshop. Many retirees downsize their homes, but this decision requires careful consideration of a variety of factors.
