I’m not number One...

YOU ARE! What People Are Saying About Sheree...

“I contacted Sheree to sell our Leaside family home of almost 60 years. From the onset she was always informative, knowledgeable, professional, honest, hard working, very personable and available 24/7 to assist me, answer questions, and relieve the stress throughout the entire process. Her expertise in the field from preparing the home for sale to staging, photographing, marketing and selling, contributed to a positive experience and a successful outcome. I highly recommend Sheree to anyone who ventures into the real estate market. She makes you “Number 1” and she is a pleasure to work with.”

- Dorothy Hunt

“As veterans of the Toronto real estate market, we feel fortunate to have had Sheree’s services for our last four transactions. From finding the perfect buyer for a tough sell some years ago to negotiating a handsome premium over asking on our last sale, Sheree has always handled every detail of our real estate requirements with consummate professionalism. She also has a peerless support team of painters, stagers etc. to make the whole process go smoothly. Thank you Sheree!”

- Sonny & Jasmine

“Sheree Cerqua is a leading Realtor for a reason. When we sold our home this year, we relied on Sheree for her professional advice on how to price and market our property for the best possible outcome. She is personable and involved in every detail throughout the process, acting as a savvy and informed guide and most importantly, as an advocate for her client. We would highly recommend Sheree to anyone in the process of selling a home in the GTA. She has a handle on market data, best positioning and a deep list of contacts that truly makes a world of difference in the outcome. Besides, she is funny and warm and you would enjoy her company even if she wasn’t your agent!”

- Anne-Marie & Brian

WHY ME?

I

WHEN LOOKING TO BUY & SELL have been selling real estate in Toronto since 2003 and without a doubt... I have found my calling. When you love what you do, it isn’t work. There are so many aspects to selling real estate that I love but first and foremost, it is my clients.

I am a people person and love the personal interaction and connections that I form with my clients. It is so much more rewarding than a SOLD sign.

When assisting buyers, there is absolutely nothing more rewarding than helping them find their dream home. And when I assist sellers, the reward comes in being able to achieve a profit for them they never thought possible. I believe that a home is where you live, love and grow and I will not let you make a bad decision. It’s too important. With this in mind, I have put together a team of skilled professionals that work alongside me in order to achieve this. I strive to make the process of buying and/or selling a home as stress-free for you as possible.

I believe strongly in charity work and giving back to the community and I put almost all of my fundraising energy into the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I also donate a portion of every sale to the Children’s Miracle Network and am a major sponsor at my two daughters’ school.

I believe that if you do the job right, if you do it with passion and integrity, your clients will be thrilled and that is the best advertisement of all. I have earned a spot in the TOP 1% of all RE/MAX Realtors in Canada based almost solely on referrals and word of mouth.

There is no greater compliment or honour than clients referring me to their family and friends. I am grateful for the trust and respect.

TIPS TO TAKE YOUR

Next level TO THE

10

tepping into a backyard oasis is the best way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Whether you are creating a space for the whole family or a private retreat, it takes planning and people to turn your dream into a reality. Design expert Kimberley Seldon partnered with the Electrical Safety Authority to share tips and hidden electrical considerations for three outdoor design ideas.

O P E N - AI R LIVI N G Canadians want to be outdoors to soak up the warm weather all season. To achieve this, Seldon recommends adding comfortable seating in an outdoor lounge area. A cabana with a breezy new ceiling fan will give your space a resort feel - just remember the fan will require special installation. A licensed electrical contractor is required to ensure the correct junction box is used so it doesn't wobble or fall. >>>

R EL A X

BY TH E WATE R Adding a calming koi pond or a revitalizing infinity pool will turn your yard into a haven. When picking the location for your water feature, it's important to factor in where overhead wires are located. There are specific distances that your pool must be from overhead powerlines, which can be as much as 7.5 metres horizontally and vertically to prevent shock caused by contact with tools such as skimmers.

LIG HT U P TH E GAR D EN Good lighting is key to adding ambiance into any space. As you would for your indoor lighting, develop a layered plan to achieve your desired look.

Incorporate down lighting to emphasize the façade, landscape lighting in the garden to highlight a row of cedars, pathway lights for safety, and decorative lighting for added impact. Be sure that all outdoor electrical is rated for exterior use, and ensure all outdoor outlets are protected with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If the receptacle is exposed to the elements, it will need an “extra duty” cover plate.
