WH Y S H O U LD YO U U SE A
MORTGAGE BROKER? When you are ready to start looking at buying a home, you will need to first determine who you will want to work with to get financed. Traditionally, most people will use either a mortgage broker or a bank. Your parents probably dealt with a bank to buy their first home, but times are changing. According to Mortgage Professionals Canada, about 28% of Canadians use a mortgage broker to arrange their mortgage and about 47% of all first-time home buyers used a mortgage broker. Fitting into your bank ‘s box is more difficult than ever before due to the credit crisis that began in 2008, and banks’ boxes have shrunk considerably. Even if you do fit in their box, is their box appropriate for you? Going to a mortgage broker will open your options up to a variety of different programs and lenders that can ultimately get you a better rate and save you money in the long term. Mortgage brokering used to be primarily for “subprime” mortgages (individuals with poor credit or other unique circumstances). But happily, that is no longer the case. With your busy work schedules and life a mortgage broker can do all the research for you to ensure your mortgage rate is the lowest based on all your specific criteria. And that is why the experts at TEAM FARHAN are here for you!

6 GREAT
BATHROOM TRENDS TO TRY
Bathrooms aren’t just utilitarian spaces anymore; they’re becoming personalized, spa-like retreats. If you’re ready to hit refresh on your bathroom, these eight ideas will inspire you to turn this everyday space into a calming sanctuary.
1. ACCENT WALLS Homeowners and designers are increasingly using accent walls to amp up interest in the bathroom. These can be used to liven up a neutral palette or help draw focus to a show-stopping feature, such as a soaking tub or custom vanity. If you decide to add an accent wall to your bathroom, carefully choose which wall to showcase. Look to the features around or on the wall to help you decide. If you’re still not sure which wall is best, select the one most visible from the doorway.
2. FREESTANDING VANITIES Personalization continues to be a top priority for homeowners, and freestanding vanities (with their furniture-like appeal) present a great opportunity to add a custom look. Plus, freestanding vanities generally offer the same design and storage options as built-ins, but at a less expensive price point. Updating your vanity is one of the quickest ways to change the look of your bathroom without undertaking an entire remodel. To customize your freestanding vanity even further, swap out the hardware with pulls in your favorite metallic finish, then accessorize the countertop with a pretty tray or vase.

3. BLACK ACCENTS Though hardware and faucet finishes are one way to try this trend, you can also go with deep-hued vanities, black accent walls and even plumbing fixtures. Used sparingly, black accents can provide a pop of contrast in a traditional white bathroom. When applied liberally, black accents help foster a glamorous vibe.
4. NATURAL TONES AND TEXTURES As homeowners seek to create a calming space, subtle natural hues are on the rise. In addition, natural materials like wood and marble blend beautifully with a wide range of colour palettes. Whether you prefer a minimalist Scandinavian look, a rustic farmhouse vibe or a traditional feel, natural tones and textures work well with a variety of design styles. To help modernize the space, incorporate a small dose of black to ground the look.
5. DOUBLE VANITIES As the average house size increases, bigger master bathrooms mean more opportunities to incorporate convenient design elements like double vanities. Although double sinks can reduce the amount of usable counter space, many manufacturers are now addressing that issue with creative storage solutions. Vanities outfitted with power outlets, full-extension drawers and custom holders for grooming tools can help minimize clutter and make the most of limited space. Sideby-side vanities are another stylish choice with numerous customization options.
6. LARGE SHOWERS When space allows, homeowners are ditching the shower-bath combo and opting for a walk-in shower and equally luxurious tub. A larger shower area presents ample opportunity for introducing customization and spa-like extras. Add an element of luxury with built-in storage niches or a teak bench lined with pampering products. ©2022 Kathryn Weber. Distributed By Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

MEET THE
REALTOR How long have you been working in real estate?
What are your specializations in real estate?
Someone recently called me a “Legend in Real Estate” which is a very polite way of saying I’m old and in the business since Neanderthals were teenagers. Truth is, it may feel like millennia, but I’ve been a realtor for more than 25 long, productive, action-packed years.
Still a therapist at heart, I am thrilled to help people in transition: first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and downsizing sellers. The process can be complicated, overwhelming and stressful. My job is to make the experience easy, even fun and remove the pain.

What attracted you to the business? Before becoming a Realtor, I was an instructor at Ryerson and a psychotherapist in private practice. Both were noble callings, but alas, I was always broke. Dad died suddenly and I promised to always look after Mom, so I had to learn about money in a hurry. I studied day and night, built my confidence, became annoyingly knowledgeable about real estate, cautiously bought one investment and eventually acquired 55 properties, mostly condos. I learned the secret of the universe is to buy low, sell high. Amen.

I’m always eager to share what I know and help you up the property ladder. My clients sometimes say that in addition to honesty, professionalism, knowledge and creativity, my strength is humour. Who else would dare say to you that I’ve seen more market ups and downs than a kangaroo on a trampoline!
