What are clients saying about their real estate experiences with Nutan Brown?
This is the third house Nutan has bought or sold for me. She represented me when I sold my place in Etobicoke a few years ago and bought my current house in Georgetown, and again when I recently sold this century home. I am certain that there are very few agents out there who could match her level of knowledge, experience and attention to her clients’ needs. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for the best.
Why did you choose this agent?
General Real Estate Knowledge/Experience, Professionalism, Understood my Needs/Requirements. Please provide any additional feedback about your experience: We were trying to sell a unique, century home in a tough market, so the length of time was a not a concern. This sale did have some unique challenges but Nutan steered me through all the concerns, which is why I like dealing with her.
NUTAN BROWN ENERGY, COMMITMENT, RESULTS.

DECK TECH:
Virtually everything in life can now be achieved with just a few clicks or swipes, including planning a new deck. If you’re looking to update your outdoor space, expert assistance is available at your fingertips via a computer or mobile device. Thanks to advancements in rendering technology and user-friendly interfaces, there are lots of great tools and resources online to help guide you through the deck design and planning process from inspiration to installation.
VISUALIZE THE POSSIBILITIES
Every great outdoor space starts with a vision. Apps such as the Trex AR Deck Visualiser allow homeowners to explore design possibilities by experimenting
with decking shapes, colours and railing combinations against the backdrop of their own homes. Users can also order decking samples right from the app, which is available for free via the Apple Store and Google Play.
DESIGN FROM YOUR DESKTOP
Once you’ve envisioned your new deck, bring it to life using an online deck design tool – no engineering or architecture degree required. Desktop programs offer the ability to create multi-level decks and non-traditional layouts customized to your home’s dimensions and populated with specific decking and railing products. Some programs also automatically generate material lists along with cost estimates and printable renderings to share with your contractors.
CALCULATE COSTS
To ensure your deck dreams remain within reach, make use of online material and cost calculators. These tools provide valuable guidance in the early planning stages to help you manage expectations and make informed decisions. Rough cost-estimates for materials can be determined based on deck size, substructure needs, and the decking and railing products being considered to give planners a solid starting point for budgeting.
