contents 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.

Do You Want to Sell Your House This Year? With home prices recovering and interest rates still low, now is a good time to list. 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 market ready 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 base 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.

Selling your home doesn’t have to be hard when we work together to get the job done. Important things to think about when listing your home or property: 1. First impressions! Buyers don’t want to be distracted by clutter. Clean up, de clutter & stage your home to sell. 2. Don’t make it harD on yourselF! keep it simple! 3. i will help you every step oF the way.
4. price the home right! Too many fall into the trap and price their home over the market value. Over priced homes tend to get stale on the market and even when the price is reduced it may have a stigma of being over priced.
If you are getting a headache just thinking about selling your home ... ... Take two aspirins and call me in the morning!!!

check in at the visitors centre It’s amazing what you can discover about your own backyard when you know where to look. But why go to the trouble of doing all the detective work when you can call upon any of the Salt Spring Visitor Centre’s many volunteers who’ve put together a slew of exciting island itineraries and must-see locales. The most common question volunteers receive may be “Where’s the bathroom?” but they can offer a wealth of other information from hiking trails and dog-friendly parks to whale watching and concert information. According to Janet Clouston, executive director of the Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce, which manages the centre, many visitors who

stop in are looking for places to stay, to eat and the latest event information. Embarrassed to look like a tourist in your own town? Don’t worry, about 25 per cent of the Visitor Centre’s 45,000 guests in 2012 were actually from Salt Spring Island. The centre can be really helpful if you need to stock up on information to give out-of-town guests a jump on what’s happening around the island. The centre is also a frequent stop for newcomers who are just getting used to life on Salt Spring. “I know one of the first places I visited when I moved to Salt Spring was the Visitor Centre,” Clouston said.
