Powder Rooms

LOUIS ST. LAURENT BRONTE ST .S

As the development of Milton Marketplace nears completion and vacancies become occupied, keep your eyes open for activity in both the North West and South West corner of Louis St. Laurent and Bronte Street. Two new plazas will be constructed here consisting of two staples, Metro (SWC) and a Loblaw grocery store (NWC).

Two areas where money is often well spent are the kitchen and bathrooms. If you’re working with a small budget and want to do things in phases, start with the powder room.

Shut off the computer

This small area can give great return and have a huge impact, not only for resale but for your enjoyment. For a small amount of money, this tiny room will become topic of conversation among guests.

In our most recent Quick Tips video (youtube.com/ kormendytrott) we discuss the importance of putting away the computer and getting out to see properties in person.

Get out to see homes Many agents will resort to setting clients up to receive automated emails, allowing you to filter through the online marketing to find one that appeals to you before visiting.

The problem with this is that the filters may not catch all of the right homes for you and the online marketing for the properties you’re looking at may be very deceiving! Great marketing can make a home look larger and nicer than it actually is, while poor marketing may have you skipping over the perfect home.

Similarly to when you go shopping with a friend who makes you try on an outfit you wouldn’t normally try and you LOVE IT, the same thing happens with homes.

Put away your computer, have your agent schedule appointments and get out for a couple of hours to look at properties in person. It doesn’t cost you a penny, just a little bit of time.
