Buying or Selling a home? Turn to the pros Trust the experts
Realtors are experts in the local real estate market and can thus appreciate the nature and the value of the property you want to acquire or sell. They are also recognized for their technical and legal skills. In short, they will accompany you through every step involved in acquiring or selling a home, choosing the most suitable insurance, or drafting a pur-
chase agreement with the best possible terms. With the help of a real estate agent, you won’t have anything to worry about when selling your home. Whatever your constraints or timeline, your agent will build a plan of action with you in order to sell your property at the best price possible. They will carry out an evaluation of your home, advise you on how to present it in the best possible way, and select potential buyers. All types of advertising will be used to ensure the visibility of your home, including displaying it in real estate offices and in the print media and on the Internet. Whether you’re selling or buying a home, a real estate agent will make sure that the experience is a positive one for you.
A realtor will help you to negotiate the purchase or sale of a 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. Why not enlist help from the pros who go into each and every transaction with your best interests at heart? CREA is one of the country’s largest single-industry trade associations and represents a win-win situation for buyers, sellers and REALTORS® alike. To nd out more, visit www.crea.ca.

Eco-friendly renovations are better for your health No matter what type of work is needed inside or outside the home, you can now opt for recycled products or those that have been designed using fewer or even no toxic products. Choose natural materials wherever possible, such as real wood, and ensure that it is of good quality. And be sure to use house paint that is free of volatile organic compounds to ensure better air quality in the home.
The first thing to do for a more eco-friendly home is to improve its energy efficiency. Cutting back on heat and air-conditioning requirements is a green choice that will also reduce your gas or electric bill. After carrying out tests to detect where air and heat are escaping, a specialist can help you decide where insulation can increase your efficiency and whether a new roof, windows, doors, or floor coverings can have an impact. Installing faucets that limit water wastage in the kitchen and bathroom is also a priority. By choosing eco-friendly materials for the cabinets and vanities, you can avoid being exposed to toxic products released when certain conditions are present, such as high humidity You can avoid health-endangering chemical levels in bathrooms. pollutants by opting for eco-friendly products.

aving a good environmental conscience sometimes means asking yourself a few questions when the time comes to do work around the house. Fortunately, manufacturers and retailers have begun to understand that the general public is concerned about the environment and have made many eco-friendly products and solutions available.

It is easy and fun to rescue all kinds of objects destined for the landfill and modify their purpose for your home. What a great way to renovate, all while being eco-friendly at the same time!
There is no shortage of ideas. And if you don’t succeed at first, don’t hesitate to give it another go - the more you try, the better you’ll become. So, don’t discard your old stuff, just repurpose it into something new and useful.
“Repurposing” entails standing in front of a feature of your home that you no longer want and asking yourself what else you could do with it. Finding the answer means truly setting aside its initial purpose; you have to forget about its original form and role in order to give free rein to your imagination. It is a great creative exercise for your brain, one that can give some interesting results. Here are a few repurposing projects: • Transform a door into a low table • Convert glass bottles into light fixtures • Turn kitchen utensils into a lamp • Remove the drawers of a dresser to make bookshelves • Dress up a bucket with fabric and decorative ribbons and fill it with flowers • Turn an old chest of drawers into a planter • Create garden furniture with bricks painted in your choice of colour • Transform a workbench into a kitchen work surface
