Staging Tip Refresh your grout!

Nothing says “lived in” more than dingy grout. Often, scrubbing with blood sweat and tears will leave your grout unchanged. Using a grout pen is the easiest and best solution! It’s a fantastic way to freshen up your tiles without spending a fortune before listing your home for sale.

Visit our Pinterest page for more great tips.

It’s Coming!

Mattamy has released a pre-registration for their Hawthorne South Village development at Regional Road 25 and Britannia Road. Rumours are out that a series of homes will be made available as early as mid January.

For up-to-date information, visit their site or sign up for the electronic copy of this newsletter at www.HVOTP.com as we will be sending out more details when it becomes available.

The Mattamy Sales Centre is temporarily closed while they revamp it with information and floor plans for this new phase.
