NUTAN BROWN’S

WALL OF FAME ... helping you is what I do Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust, confidence and exceptional service. Thank you for the Opportunity!

We first met Nutan more than three years ago when we began the search for our ‘forever’ home. During all of our time with Nutan, whether it was in person, over email, via text, or over the phone, we found her to be knowledgeable and professional, patient and honest. As a person, we enjoyed her company; as a realtor, we found her to be incredibly effective.

Despite our lengthy search, the home that eventually ticked all of our boxes caught us by surprise. Nutan kicked right into action. With her advice and strategy, we were the successful bidders – but this was just the start of our adventure! We now had to sell our first home, so Nutan immediately lined up her team that included a stager, painters, photographer, (and even a glazer), and we managed to list in just over a week’s time.

Nutan was phenomenal during the sale process of our first home. We listed at a challenging time, just after the busy season when buyers seemed scarce. Nutan did absolutely everything she could to drive interest in and traffic to our home by leaving no stone unturned. And, at a time when other properties were sitting, Nutan presented us with two offers.

The purchase and sale process is inevitably a stressful time. Nutan’s calm demeanor, experience and constant communication made the process so much easier. We were truly impressed by her commitment and dedication to us, and the results she brought in. We would not hesitate to use her again!

A HEALTHY ON A CLASSIC

DESSERT T

here is no better time than now to start taking care of yourself and re-establishing healthy eating habits. The first way to do this is to put down the takeout menu and step in to the kitchen.

A recent survey from Leger and Activia showed that Canadians aren't afraid to stir the pot: An impressive nine in 10 Canadian women say that cooking their own meals at home on a daily basis is their preferred way to eat a healthy and balanced diet.

Every grocery list should cover all of the essential food groups, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy. Studies show that most of us don't get Canada Food Guide's daily recommended two to three servings a day.

Yogurt is a recognized source of protein that can be incorporated into a recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even dessert. The Activia Challenge is a delicious, simple way to incorporate dairy into your routine – and provide a daily dose of probiotics.

Preparing healthy recipes right at home often means no compromise on taste. Mairlyn Smith, professional home economist and cookbook author, recommends an easy way to transform Activia yogurt into a delicious trifle with this simple recipe.

making the most OF YOUR

STORAGE f

inding storage solutions to organize a home can be a daunting task, whether it's for a small condo closet or a spacious family room filled with toys. These simple DIY tips will overhaul key areas in the home to give you a more efficient space from top to bottom. >>>

thehomenews.ca

“ Chances are CLOSET if you can't ORGANIZATION see an item of clothing in that crammed space, you aren't likely to wear it,�

Instead, use a closet kit that includes hanging rods, shelving and hardware for an easy DIY installation that will upgrade any walk-in or reach-in closet.

Leverage vertical space for small closets by hanging double rods for shorter garments. Wire shelves are a good addition to hold clothing and other linens, allowing air to pass through so fabrics can breathe, and ultimately last longer. >>>

says a local HOME DEPOT ASSOCIATE.

home & lifestyle

LAUNDRY SOLUTIONS Two large machines are enough to monopolize the space in a laundry room, so well-placed storage solutions are key.

Associates at Home Depot recommend hanging a wall cabinet above your laundry machines to store detergent and other products that need to be out of reach of children and pets.

If you own a front load laundry pair, install work surfaces on top that include handy pockets to store your cleaning supplies.

Out-of-the-box thinking, like building your own wall-hanging clothes rack that folds out when you need to hang clothes to dry, and snaps back to the wall when not in use, can help for small laundry spaces.

BASEMENT STORAGE If you have a finished basement, it can be a great space for the family to enjoy. However, everything a family uses for down time can easily turn into clutter overload.

Consider under-stair shelving to make use of an oftenwasted space. Find furniture that serves dual purposes - like a bench for seating that also has room for storage inside.

You can tuck away the board games for family game night when they're not in use.

Never underestimate the power of totes. Clear totes can help you to organize and store items that aren't in use, and make finding everything easy. Alternatively, opt for totes in colourful or textured versions that can add a punch of personality to open shelving.
