Our
Buyers and Sellers
have something to say... “I can’t thank you enough for getting me through this process so quickly. Your guidance all the way made it possible for me to relax and let you take the helm, feeling confident that everything was in your capable hands.” ~ Joan moved from Islington Village to retirement in British Columbia
“As first time buyers looking to settle down in this competitive market, we were certainly overwhelmed! Andrea immediately put our concerns to rest and proved to be hardworking, professional and extremely patient. Thank you for helping us find our first home! We will highly recommend the Stevenson Streich Team.” ~ Erica & Andrew bought in Allanbrooke Gardens
“The combination of Liz’s calm and reassuring personality and Andrea’s enthusiasm and keen attention to detail made both the purchase of a condominium and the sale of my house as seamless and painless as it could be. They are both very effective communicators, have sound knowledge of real estate and their workstyles compliment each other very well. After interviewing four teams of agents, I knew I picked the right one when I witnessed their relentless dedication in both finding me the place of my dreams, and helping me sell my house within a very tight timeline. I am so very thankful that I chose them to help me though this stressful transition.” ~ Teresa downsized from a house in Upper Baby Point to a condo in the KIP district

*Cut the root end off the lemongrass and then cut the lemongrass where the white part meets the greener part (you only use the white part), discard the root end and the darker part.

TOP 10 WAYS TO
DATED HOUSE
18
ur homes are where memories are made, our retreat from the world. However, daily living, growing families, and time can leave your home looking less than its best. Fortunately, there's plenty you can do to breathe new life into a well-loved space. These top DIY projects will ensure your home looks and performs its best.
01 / CLEAN. A neat and tidy home instantly brightens the space, creating a great foundation for other improvements.
02 / PAINT. This is the easiest way to quickly transform the look of a dated room. Don't forget to paint the trim to really make it pop.
03 / CONSIDER REPLACING WORN FLOORING. Update with hardwoods or choose more affordable options such as laminate or vinyl plank flooring. Ecofriendly options like bamboo or cork flooring have grown in popularity, while today's assortment of tiles can also create a stunning look.
07 / OPEN UP THE SPACE. 04 / ADDRESS THE COMFORT FACTOR. Taking measures to make your home more energy efficient can dramatically improve everyday comfort and save you money. The easiest way to start is by simply topping up your attic insulation. Many contractors recommend a fire-safe, mould and waterresistant stone wool insulation like Rockwool Comfortbatt. Made from stone, it's durable and easy to install. This important update can potentially save you hundreds in annual heating costs, and it only takes about a day or so to complete.
05 / MAKE SIMPLE SWAPS. New light fixtures or hardware on cabinetry can provide your room with an instant refresh. Give cabinets a new coat of paint if they look tired or dated.
06 / LET THERE BE LIGHT. Replace heavy drapes with sheer window coverings or blinds to flood the home with as much natural light as possible.
Remove excess furniture and all signs of clutter. Organize closets and pantries. Open windows to allow fresh air inside.
08 / ACCESSORIZE. Add inviting elements like fresh flowers, throws or toss cushions. Does your room have a distinct focal point? Carefully chosen and placed accents or artwork can really make it stand out.
09 / CREATE CURB APPEAL. Clean and pressure-wash the driveway and walkways. Cut the grass, pull weeds, and trim shrubs. Consider planting annuals to add colour. Paint your front door and house numbers.
10 / REBOOT YOUR ENTRY-WAY. It's simple, but it sets the tone. Make sure it's bright, open and functions effectively. Install some clever storage solutions –– there are plenty of options even for small spaces. It should always feel good to walk through the front door. After all, there's no place like home.

5 FORMS
you need to understand when buying a home
f you're house hunting this season, you want the process of finding and buying your dream home to be an enjoyable, stress-free experience. To help, we've made a list of five essential forms that you'll encounter along the way.
01 - BUYER REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT If you're being represented
by a brokerage then you're considered their client and this form outlines the legal agreement between you and your brokerage. It contains an explanation of the many items, including the services the brokerage will provide to you, fees for those services, the obligations you have as a client and the expiry date of the agreement.
24
‘Rosethorn’ ~ Tastefully Renovated 4 Bedroom ~ 3 1/2 Bath ~ Inground Pool
02 - CUSTOMER SERVICE AGREEMENT If you prefer not to enter
into a client contract with a brokerage, then you may choose to be a customer and will receive a different service than if you were a client. As a customer, you will be treated fairly & ethically and will be provided honest information while your Realtor takes care not to misrepresent any facts. 03 - CONFIRMATION OF CO-OPERATION + REPRESENTATION
This form confirms representation or customer relationships between the brokerages and the buyers and sellers. This form also details remuneration to be paid. You'll be asked to sign a CCR before making an offer or any negotiations on a property. 04 - AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE + SALE This form is used initially by a buyer
when making an offer on a property. Once the offer is made and accepted, the offer becomes a legally binding contract. Be sure you understand what's in your offer before you sign it. Agreeing on a price is important, but make sure you speak to your Realtor about other details like the possession date, conditional terms, and
which chattels or fixtures will be included or excluded with the home. 05 - LISTING AGREEMENT This form is the agreement between a seller and their real estate brokerage. The Listing Agreement forms the basis for drafting an offer on a home and includes directions about negotiations.
