How to protect your home while on vacation Important questions to ask before leaving your home for a peaceful cottage getaway The last thing you want when going away on your annual cottage get away is to worry about the safety of your home. You want to rest—and rest easy too. What you’re looking for is peace of mind that your home is as safe as it can be from burglary or other damage. There are several key steps you should take to ensure peace of mind when away from home. The following home protection checklist can help you plan important safety measures before your departure to the cottage: • Did you suspend your newspaper and mail delivery; or have a neighbour collect them for you? Does the house look lived-in? • That means having someone park their car in your driveway if you’re taking yours. You can even ask a neighbour to put a bag of garbage at your curb on garbage day. • Did you set your lights on timers, in various rooms? • With some timers, the lights go on and off at different times each day, which
means a burglar can’t pick up on a pattern. Motion sensor lights outside can also deter a burglar. Consider installing them in front and back.
• Did you ensure that all your doors and windows are locked and secure? • Don’t forget about the garage. Place a bar or stick of wood in the lower track of sliding doors or windows, to be extra safe.
• Did you turn off the water-main and unplug the major appliances as an added precaution? • Did you inform a neighbour when you’re leaving and returning, and ask them to keep an eye out for anything suspicious? • Leave your neighbhour a phone number where you can be reached, and a spare set of your keys in case of an emergency. • Did you consider a home security system? A home security system is a very effective deterrent. When looking for their targets, thieves usually select an unoccupied home with the easiest access. Why not make it difficult for them. A home protected by a home security system is three times less susceptible to a break in than one without a system. Home security system decals and yard signs are also an effective deterrent. Make sure your home security system includes a loud inside house siren, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion
sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas. The latest home automation technology in interactive home security systems can now allow monitoring of your home from a distance by wireless transmission through your smartphone. Fully interactive security systems let you arm and disarm your alarm, lock or unlock your front
door, control lights and your home’s thermostat from your cottage at the touch of your smartphone. You can even have video monitoring and be alerted to view the comings and goings of cleaning staff or house sitters on your phone, so you can enjoy your retreat without worrying about what’s going on at home.

THE LOCAL REALTOR® – Your best friend when it comes to buying or selling a home When it comes to home sales in Canada, the market uctuates along with the economic situation. There are ups and downs, and these differ from area to area within the country. National trends do not necessarily reect the reality in specic municipalities, or even communities within those towns and cities. That’s why anyone looking to buy or sell a home is wise to contact a local REALTOR® to facilitate the process. These trained professionals understand the housing market in their areas and can provide you with valuable help and advice.
REALTORS® are members of their local real estate Boards. They are tapped into a network that keeps track of the housing market, and they have connections with a stream of clients who may be interested in buying your home or selling to you. Remember, only someone who is a REALTOR®, a member of CREA, has access to the Multiple Listing Service®. This tremendously powerful and co-operative real estate marketing system increases your chances of buying and/or selling with the best possible result by providing remarkable exposure.
The term REALTOR® is a trademark that identies licensed real estate professionals who are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). The benets of choosing someone with this designation are many, beginning with the fact that members adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. Professional conduct is important in developing a mutually benecial relationship, and each REALTOR® is trained to help make sure that all parties in a transaction receive fair and honest treatment. In addition, a REALTOR® engages in ongoing education to keep current as the world of real estate evolves. All of this adds an important level of peace-of-mind to your home-buying experience.
REALTORS® can provide you with information about trends in the neighbourhoods where you are selling or buying, comparable prices and more. They guide you through the necessary paperwork, all the while disclosing all the facts on properties so that you can make the most educated decision possible. These consummate professionals consider themselves your partner in your purchase or selling experience, so that your needs, wishes and desires are paramount in the process.
When you buy or sell a home, you want the most for your money – so teaming up with someone else who has the same goal makes sense. Whether you are purchasing your rst home or selling and moving on, the steps involved are complicated. A REALTOR® can make a huge difference in how streamlined the process is.
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest steps you will take in your life. Smart buyers and sellers do everything they can to make the best deal possible.

Converting garages into livable spaces Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have. Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Expanding a living space can be expensive, and a more affordable option may be converting existing basement or garage space into something more livable. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garage-conversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space. Before beginning the renovation, homeowners should consider the benefits versus the cost of converting the garage. For those who are planning to grow old in a house, a garage conversion can be a worthy investment. But those who intend to sell their homes rather than retire in them may learn that a converted garage can affect home value and make it less desirable at resale. Compare your home to others in the area and see what your neighbours have done. If converted garages are the norm, your own renovation may fit in with others. Always apply for the proper permits
and learn the zoning laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your town or city. It’s best to go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety. Many homeowners hope their garage-conversion projects will make their garages seem like a seamless part of the rest of the house. To do so, you will need to remove evidence the space was once a garage. Slab floor will need to be raised and insulated. Walls also will need to be insulated and finished to improve comfort and soundproofing. Many garages do not have windows, so for the garage to function as a renovated space, windows may need to be added. One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural element.
