A Luxury Beach Getaway with The Baeumler Family

Lifestyle NEW! Lookbook

Change is a good thing.

As I write this, I’ve just watched another year blink past, and I continue to be staggered by how fast our World moves.

A little more than a year ago, our World was gearing up for yet another semblance of a lock-down and continued uncertainty filled our hopes and dreams. However, we all forged ahead. A year ago, Locale Look-book didn’t exist. We are so proud that this concept, created by our Publishers Brad and Alissa, has come to fruition as the turn of Spring is upon us. Change is a good thing.

For many years, HOMES+ has become a staple publication found in many locations in our region. It has been a tool for homeowners in finding their first home or dream home. Our advertisers have been dedicated and one-of-a-kind.

Locale is our next endeavour in providing additional information about the region. From, home renovations to local hot-spots, we hope to find those hidden gems in the area that makes our community, our home. It only makes sense to merge it with our current publication HOMES+ as it aligns so well with our readership.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram @homesplusmagazine and @locale_lookbook. We plan on partnering with local businesses and having contests on a regular basis.

I want to personally thank the Baeumlers for participating in our inaugural issue of Locale. We met many years ago and I’ve always been in awe of their ability to juggle family, multiple businesses, and now an island resort in the Bahamas.

I’m honoured in sharing their journey with you. By the way, Island of Bryan Season 4 can be viewed Sundays at 10 p.m.

ET/PT on HGTV Canada. It is also available on the Global TV App and on STACKTV with Amazon Prime Video Channels and Rogers.

So please take a deep breath with us, read and explore. Learn.

Change is a good thing. Now is a perfect time to slow down and enjoy what our region has to offer. We can’t wait to share our experiences with you.

Stûññïñg KITCHEN RENOVATION BY

• These clients weren’t just looking to update the appearance of their kitchen, but also make it a more functional space because, unlike many people in today’s busy world, they actually take the time to enjoy cooking, baking and eating together as a family.

• They looked at all their options, and after much consideration, they decided that it would be best for their family to start fresh, and, with our help, completely redesign the layout of their kitchen.

• We started with a U-shaped kitchen and a wall of cabinets between the Kitchen and Living Room, which made the space feel very tight.

We ended up extending the Kitchen into what was originally their only eating space, and then they added a separate Dining Room at the back of their home..

Roger Martin Real Estate Salesperson Mortgage Agent Red Carpet Renovators Team Leader

RED CARPET Rëñøvåtørs

Roger and Julie were a pleasure to work with on our recent kitchen reno. Their expertise, care, support and execution of the renovation was excellent.

We are thrilled with our new kitchen!

• With more than 2x the storage they had in their previous kitchen, 3x the counter top space, seating for 4 at their 4’ x 9’ island and double pantries with 9 deep pantry pullout drawers, there will never a reason to stash anything kitchen-related in any other room of this home.

• This new Kitchen completely transformed the feel and function of their main floor, and has truly provided the catalyst for efficiently reshaping the use of this entire home!

1. Where to Begin – How We Should Be Approaching Our Closet Clean Out Items should be reviewed on a piece by piece basis, says Bobbi. Creating a yes, no, and a maybe pile. Typically, people will keep things that are stained, super old, or too small for them. Start by getting rid of these pieces first.

2. How to Organize Organizing by color is Bobbi’s rule of thumb, with closets ranging from darkest to lightest. Another choice is to organize by outfit & grouping together pieces that you would wear together.

3. Narrowing Down Your Maybe Pile

Tips for Spring Cleaning & Organizing your Closets Tania Apolito

Sadler Real Estate Group

In conversation with Bobbie K from the Clothing Exchange

With Spring being a season of rebirth and growth, it can be the perfect opportunity for a fresh start and a new beginning.

Typically, we begin to open up our homes again, clearing away that winter dust and diving into our spring cleaning rituals. It can also mean packing up all your cold weather clothing and re-organizing your closets for the new warmer season ahead.

I sat down with Bobbi K, owner of The Clothing Exchange to talk about all things closets! Bobbi prides herself on “making second hand, look Gucci!”, She provides a place where women can sell their used clothing and select new pieces to fall in love with and cherish for an affordable price.

During our chat, we discussed how to maximize your wardrobe real estate, creating beautiful displays and organizing closets for functionality. Here’s what Bobbi had to say...

16

Our “maybe” pile usually consists of items that are sentimental, no longer fit (but we will again soon), never worn, or items we don’t know how to style or incorporate into our waredrobe.

A great way to help narrow down your maybe pile is by enlisting help. Have your friend or stylist ask you if you remember which pieces are in the maybe pile. If you can’t remember what you’ve placed in there, the likelihood of you reaching for and wearing that piece again are pretty low. You should be wearing the items in your closet more than 10 times.

4. Low Cost Items to Help You Get Organized Hangers – Your hangers should match and should all face the same way.

Baskets - Baskets can be used for scarves and accessories, either placed on your top shelf or on the floor of your closet.

Other popular organizational items are Rubbermaid containers, hooks, push pins, & shoe racks. A lot of these items can be found at your local dollar store.

5. Hang vs. Fold vs. Store A lot of people put things in closets that don’t need to be there. These items can all be tucked away in storage containers or stored in drawers.

Denim should always be hung.

Your closets should be items you wear every day or items you don’t want to get wrinkled.

6. Display It Purses and accessories can easily be used as art pieces. Your closet should feel like a decorative part of your home. You pay good money for those purses, they shouldn’t just be thrown on the floor.

Display them.

FOR SALE

ST CLEMENTS - CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION This spectacular custom residence is grand in every sense of the word – ornate finishes, top-end materials and premium touches span as far as the eye can see and across all three finished levels. A grand total of five bedrooms (including a bonus visitor’s suite on the lower level) and five bathrooms are featured here, all comfortably accommodated in over 5,000 square feet of finished living space.

This home in St. Clements sits on nearly half-an-acre in an idyllic rural Ontario setting; a mature residential enclave surrounded by rolling countryside and farmer’s fields, yet still only 10 minutes’ driving time from the diverse amenities of Waterloo. Towering ceilings, opulent marbles, stones and hardwoods, and beautiful new European-style windows grace every element of the interior and cover the sumptuous principal living spaces on the home’s main level. From the spectacular luxury kitchen with requisite butler’s pantry (an entertainer’s delight), to the elegant formal dining room, and from the cozy study/library to the family room’s fireplace, fine craftsmanship is on display everywhere you’ll cast your eyes.

An expansive sunroom with in-floor heating occupies the rear of the main level, accessible via french doors. The home’s primary suite is conveniently location on the main floor, too, and boasts the amenities you’d expect to find in a home of this calibre – a remarkable five-piece luxury ensuite bath, and an extensive walk-in closet with premium custom millwork. Heading upstairs, you’ll uncover an additional three wellproportioned bedrooms, plus two more full-size washrooms. The highlight here must be the third room with a five-piece ensuite bath of its own, as well as an attached study, walk-in closet, or music room (its purpose to be whatever the heart desires) – fit for a princess! Meanwhile, the fully-finished basement has been comprehensively updated in the past few years, and plays host not only to the aforementioned guest suite, but also a luxury wet bar with its own granite counters and appliances, a gym, a wine cellar with attached cold room, a sauna with its own shower and steamer, large storage space with more custom millwork, and a secret hidden room. Even the attached garage benefits from an executive treatment! With room for four vehicles, one side features tandem parking with pull-through to the rear yard, while a built-in lift is an ideal option for storing your summer ride. The heated garage contains even more custom cabinetry and storage as well. With a brand new boiler, furnace and septic system, big-ticket updates offer peace of mind as well. This home is truly a sight to behold!

PRE-CONSTRUCTION & NEW BUILD INVESTING

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW & DO The Pre-Construction Investment Market Is Back!

The COVID concerns are almost gone, and developers are finally comfortable releasing their long awaited projects this year. With that said, the preconstruction market has significantly changed, in a good AND bad way. In order to best protect your interests, The Westside Partners of TrilliumWest are going to give you the rundown on what you need to do, what you need to know, before buying a pre-construction property in 2022. Enjoy!

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS Technically you should be asking yourself a lot of questions with any investment purchase, but we believe that these questions are extremely important, especially with new build investing.

• Why am I attracted to this project?

• Am I getting sucked in with the beautiful marketing package?

• Have I ever purchased a new build before?

If not, do I have a solid team around me that can help?

• Do I fully understand the risks of buying a new build or pre-construction property?

• What is the current new build market like right now?

• Who is an expert I can work with?

• Are there any extra buffers in your proforma in case the legal fees are higher, you arrange non-conventional financing (lender fee(s)), or you need to buy window coverings, appliances that were not needed until occupancy?

DO YOUR BUILDER & DEVELOPER DUE DILIGENCE This one is EXTREMELY important! Do you have any idea who you are buying from? We have seen countless instances where the “deal” on paper looks fantastic, but the property ends up becoming a complete bust due to either the lack of experience, priority of customer service, or messy management with a builder. You NEED to find the answers to all of these questions: • How many projects has the builder/developer completed, not completed, currently have in motion?

• What is their track record? Lets look at Tarion Warranty Registration website, Google Reviews, resales in those developments (hard to resell?). Any reported cancellations, negative news articles, etc?

• Is the builder/developer local, or out-of-town? If out of town, do they have a local team assisting them that knows the drill in the area with new developments?

• What do their marketing packages look like?

Does it look like they have an attention to detail?

• How fast or slow have their other projects taken to sell and why?

BUILD YOUR TEAM WITH EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS Here are the folks who you absolutely must have beside you during the start to finish phase of buying new: REALTOR: One with ample knowledge, experience, and who will bring you an unfiltered + unbiased perspective at all times.

REAL ESTATE LAWYER: Your safeguard to ensure the deal you’re getting into, legally makes sense.

MORTGAGE PROFESSIONAL: Funding new build deals can be challenging, but not to someone with experience helping buyers finance their new build deals TAXATION PROFESSIONAL: We’ll get into this later and talk about that scary “HST” word!

HOW TO “RUN THE NUMBERS” ON NEW BUILD DEALS We aren’t just talking about potential rental rates, mortgage costs, and property taxes here folks! Time to tweak up that investment proforma and include some very critical factors and calculations in your analysis.

Let us elaborate further: • Land Transfer Tax, Lawyer fee, and some adjustments for property taxes on closing are the usual, but are you incorporating occupancy fees, developer closing adjustments, and Tarion Warranty fees?

• What rental rates are you using to calculate cash flow?

Current market rates, or “future rents”? How did you calculate those “future rents”? Are they realistic?

• Did you factor in holding a vacant property for 3-6 months?

You’re not going to be the only one trying to rent out your property, especially in a condo building with 200 new units.

Mitch Taylor REALTOR® Residential Investment Partner

Keri Brownrigg REALTOR® End-User Clientele Partner

HAVE A (Qualified) REAL ESTATE LAWYER REVIEW YOUR DEAL Before you firm up or waive any conditions on that purchase agreement, get that paperwork into your lawyers hands, and let them dive into the details. Not having a lawyer review could cost you an unnecessary extra four, five or even six figures! We’ve seen it all! These are the critical points you should be hearing from your lawyer during the review process: • What are the anticipated developer closing adjustments?

Can I have them capped?

• Is the project site plan approved?

What stage of development is this project currently in?

• What are my rights if the project is delayed, cancelled, or if other issues arise?

• Am I allowed to rent the unit before closing and during occupancy?

• What happens if I experience a significant life event and need to sell?

Can I assign the deal?

HOMES + I N S I G H T

IMPROVEMENTS

that Add Quality to Your Life & Value to Your Home

Julie D. Martin Real Estate Broker

These are the Top 5 Home Improvements that I have personally witnessed in the last year. Two exterior updates, one at the front of a house and one at the back. As well as three different types of kitchen updates. All three options were affordable and all three looked fantastic, but none were replaced with brand new kitchen cabinets.

These improvements were all in different homes, but they all have a lot in common. All of these projects: • Were done on a budget and were done with the advice of professionals. However, the homeowners did the hard work.

• Were inspired by Pinterest and their favourite HGTV shows.

• They all took into consideration what a future owner may appreciate, which, in turn, appreciates the value of the home on a more rapid scale.

• Have helped the homeowners to sell for top dollar.

Paint the Front Door a Fun Colour

Reface the Kitchen Cabinets If you’re happy with the overall layout and want to save about 40%, you can reface the cabinets. This means that you work with the layout, use the current cabinet boxes and drawers simply replace the old doors and drawer fronts with new ones. For less than $3,000, this kitchen looks much more up-to-date. Notice that the narrow upper cabinet to the left of the sink is now a wine cabinet. The previous cabinet was not very functional anyways, so this was a smart change. The homeowners decided to leave the countertop and paint the backsplash. Sometimes just a few updates that brighten things up change the whole look and feel of the kitchen.

This home in the East Ward is a real Charmer. If you’re thinking of painting your front door, make sure to choose something that complements the brick or siding. This particular choice is Caribbean Blue Water 2055-30 by Benjamin Moore. It also helped to take the storm door off to uncover the natural beauty of the original door behind it. What a great first impression this front door makes!

Paint the Kitchen Cabinets I have to admit that this looks like much more of an extensive (and expensive) renovation than it was. But, these are the same cabinets with a few coats of white cabinet paint. Most of the homeowner’s budget was spent on new Quartz countertops. New stainless steel appliances were purchased to replace the old black ones, and a new

32

backsplash was added. The tile flooring looks brand new against the white cabinets but they’re actually the same as the tiles on the left.

Replace the Kitchen Cabinets This 1970’s kitchen in a Semi-Detached home in Waterloo was an original and was ready for a revamp. It looks like they got a new kitchen, right? Not officially, but it was new for them. They purchased new counter tops, flooring, lighting and appliances. The only thing they needed to hire a professional for is to add a few touches (i.e., trim at the top and bottom of the cabinets, open shelves and the bar top).

All of the wooden touches really warmed up the space.

Replace the Old Deck Replacing an old deck would not have been a high budget item pre-COVID before the lumber prices sky-rocketed but there’s always ways to try and keep the costs down. Shop for sales, make choices that are not quite as expensive (such as the skirting around the bottom rather than choosing solid cedar. Another great idea is if you live in a Semi or Townhouse, you could ask your neighbour if they are interested in doing a project together and share the cost and work on it together. Dress it up with seasonal flowers, patio furniture (perhaps a second-hand metal piece that can be freshly spray painted), and consider this exterior space an extension of your Living Room in the warmer months.

When there’s a lot in your home that need attention, don’t fear. Just get inspired and do one project at a time. You’ll be thankful at how your house will be transformed into a home over time. It’s a very rewarding process seeing it all come together.
