Etobicoke SPRING 2016

HOME & LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE

We don’t want to jinx it

but it appears that we may have gotten off relatively easy on the weather front this winter. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the tail-end of winter continues in a mild manner and spring comes early.

You will then be tempted to check out your gardens to see what flowers are coming up.

You might even be tempted to start the annual spring ritual clean-up and re-organization

Liz

sooner than expected. You may even be tempted to reorganize your life and upsize to a larger home or downsize to a smaller one. Either way, we are here to help with your choice of a lifestyle change because helping you is what we do. Living and working in Etobicoke for over 30 years has given us a personal perspective on life in our neighbourhoods. We are happy to talk about the terrific schools, restaurants and shops

that all our neighbourhoods have to offer to everyone who visits or inquires about properties that we represent. So give us a call for a friendly chat about real estate. We are experienced, knowledgeable and approachable.

Happy Spring!

Our Buyers and Sellers

have something to say...

After meeting with four Realtors, what impressed us most about you, in addition to coming well

prepared with sales history and trends, was that you listened and asked great questions. You then invested extensive time to prepare a remarkable marketing approach for our property. We were impressed by your willingness to devote so many hours to open houses, a strategy that most other agents claimed was a waste of time. Your intuitive eye to spot and engage potential buyers at the open houses is what eventually lead to encouraging the ultimate buyer to submit a strong offer. You are truly remarkable real estate professionals and a lovely couple as an added measure.” ~ Pat and Richard Taylor We were very impressed with your personal, professional and practical approach in selling our home. We were always kept in the loop and you were very patient in discussing any concerns or questions we had. You were always available with good advice, helped us get our home ready for sale quickly, including finding repair people and a stager, and in general bent over backwards to make sure the sale went as smoothly as possible. Even more impressive is that your dedication continued even after the deal was done. I would highly recommend you to my friends or family, in fact to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Toronto. We have worked with a number of Realtors over the years and would say, without hesitation, that you are one of the very best!”

~ Lynn and Michael Bevan We cannot say enough about the support and professional advice given to us by Liz, Andrea and John. Through-out the listing and selling process, they were both there to make the experience a smooth one. Their personal attention to detail along with their help in coordinating the work made the challenge of moving a pleasant one. We highly recommend the Stevenson Team for anyone considering selling or buying a home!”

~ Sue and Bob Weishuhn If patience is a virtue, then Liz and John have it in spades. We had a specific need for a very particular property on which to build on, and although it took over a year, they finally found not only the right property for us, but also helped us to land the property with four other buyers bidding on it. Great job.”

~ Eva and Richard Sachs I had the pleasure of working with the Stevenson Team when I purchased my home, and

then again when I had to sell my home to move west. There are many real estate professionals in the GTA, but in my experience, none better than the Stevenson Team. They will give you their undivided attention and focus from beginning to end. I highly recommend Liz, John and Andrea.

Thanks Stevenson Team! I really appreciate everything you did for me.” ~ Niaz Nejad Info@StevensonTeam.ca I www.StevensonTeam.ca OUR ETOBICOKE

TRAVEL

Give Back and to

TODAY, enlightened travellers often say they want to go on vacation, but sense that the total experience should not be all about them. Reaching out to the world is also about generating positive results for the greater good.

This is exactly what prompted three adventurous women to travel to Peru on an off the beaten track expedition to Machu Picchu. They went with the help of Charity Challenge, a tour operator dedicated to benefiting charities, as well as giving help to the local communities where their travellers go. The tour operator has a unique and carefully planned program for trips to nearly 12 countries. You can trek, cycle, climb, or ski throughout the world with the organization, while raising vital funds for a charity you love.

“It was the BEST thing I did in a long time,” says GERHILD NEUGEBAUER from British Columbia.

“First of all it was just so well organized and the participants all had the same goal; making people aware of the charity of their choice and its purpose … Some of my friends offered to sponsor me without me having to ask for a donation because they wanted to be part of the adventure.”

Neugebauer also pointed out that Charity Challenge is environmentally conscious.

TOP LEFT: Great Wall Discovery, China TOP RIGHT: Sapa Hill Tribe, Vietnam Trek MIDDLE LEFT: Kilimanjaro Summit Climb, Tanzania BOTTOM LEFT: Sahara Desert Trek, Morocco

“We all had to sign a paper agreeing not to use any environmentally damaging products etc. They also hire local people for the trek from the cooks to the guides.

Some of the money they get from the participants is donated to needy causes.

Our Guide and his people were fantastic on the trek and in Cusco, they helped us whenever we needed things like hotel advice and changing money.”

You too can go on many adventures that include raising money for a charity and giving back to the local communities you visit. For example, the leading human rights organization, Amnesty International, is just one of many charities that benefit from these exciting tours.

CLEANING THE SEASON OF DETOXIFICATION

by Dr. Jacqueline Streich, ND CLEANSING

&

Simple Tips for Daily Detox

1. Avoid toxins such as household and industrial chemicals, pesticides, plastics, alcohol, recreational and prescription drugs.

2. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day and use fresh lemon in your water for liver cleansing.

3. Fresh, organic cold-pressed olive

oil is the best for your liver. Olive oil is best used raw/unheated, and is ideal in salad dressings.

4. Exercise and sweat regularly to help with liver detoxification.

5. Practice deep breathing exercises for 5 - 10 minutes a day.

Dr. Jackie maintains a family practice in Etobicoke. To book an appointment for an individualized consultation or a free introductory 15 minute consult, please visit www.doctorjackie.ca for contact information.

S

pring is a time of creation and of life being restored. This is a good time to take a look at your life and make a new plan for your health. What do you want to clear out as the past in your environment and within yourself? Spring is a time of planting seeds and watching them grow. We and nature both flourish in this season.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each season is paired with an organ. The organs of the spring season are the liver and gallbladder. They carry out essential body functions, particularly the digestion and processing of many substances we take into our bodies.

With more than 100 known functions, we can’t “live” without our livers. In addition to assisting with digestion and metabolism, the liver is also responsible for filtering the blood of toxins and breaking them down into waste products for elimination.

From a natural viewpoint, when the liver is overloaded, it is less able to detoxify the blood, and poisons remain, potentially leading to many acute and chronic problems which manifest themselves in each individual’s weaker areas. Too much of any food, but especially alcohol, chemicals, smoke, drugs, fried oils and meats can be toxic to the liver and gallbladder.

Stress can also take a toll on our body’s natural

ability to detoxify and cause further burden on the function of the liver.

There are many natural substances that support healthy function of the gallbladder and liver, and which help to protect us from chemicals and the unhealthy foods or toxins we may be consuming. Apples, apple juice and apple cider vinegar are helpful for gall bladder function. Olive oil is a great nutritive and healthy fat. Fresh lemon and lemon water is also a favourite for daily liver support, as in TCM the liver is stimulated by “sour” flavours.

In addition to proper nutrition, there are many ways to assist your body in being able to detoxify more efficiently and effectively.

There are hundreds of various “cleanses” and “detoxes” available on the market making it somewhat confusing for the average person to make sense of what’s out there. In certain cases these programs may not be suited to everyone.

A Naturopathic Doctor is educated on the use of natural detoxification therapies and can recommend the appropriate diet and supplements ideally suited to your individual needs.

This spring, as you assess all the tasks needing to be done as part of your household spring cleaning, take some time to check in with your body and consider doing some personal spring cleaning as well! ◘

PEACH

SALAD with Grilled Basil Chicken and White Balsamic-Honey Vinaigrette

Ingredients Grilled Basil Chicken • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts • 3 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing grill • 1/3 cup slightly packed chopped fresh basil • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice • Salt and freshly ground black pepper Vinaigrette • 1/3 cup olive oil • 3 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar • 1 Tbsp honey • 1 tsp dijon mustard • Salt and freshly ground black pepper Salad • 10 oz Spring Mix lettuce • 1 lb peaches, sliced (about 3 small) • 2 ears corn, husked and kernels cut from cob • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted • 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin (about 3/4 cup), rinse under water to remove harsh bite • 4 oz Goat cheese, crumbled Instructions For the CHICKEN: In a small mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, basil, garlic, and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper (about 1/2 tsp of each). Using the back of a spoon, press basil against sides and bottom of bowl (to help extract flavor from basil). Place chicken in a resealable bag and pound thicker parts of chicken to even thickness with a meat mallet, then pour basil mixture over chicken and evenly distribute basil over chicken. Seal bag while pressing excess air out, rub marinade over chicken and transfer to refrigerator and marinate 2 - 5 hours.

Preheat a grill to 425 - 450 degrees over medium high heat. Brush grill grates lightly with olive oil then place chicken on grill. Grill until cooked through, rotating once halfway through cooking, about 4 - 5 minutes per side (chicken should register 165 degrees in center of chicken on an instant read thermometer). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes then slice into strips or dice into cubes.

For the VINAIGRETTE: Whisk together all ingredients until well blended and season with salt and pepper to taste. Store in refrigerator until ready to use, stir again before pouring over salad.

For the SALAD: In a large salad bowl gently toss together lettuce, peaches, corn, pecans, onions, and grilled chicken. Sprinkle goat cheese over top and drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve immediately after adding dressing.

You and the recipient will both feel better!

Alice Landa is president and owner of Master Stagers Inc. and has lived in, and served, the Etobicoke community for many years. She has achieved one of the top designations in Home Staging as an Accredited Staging Professional Master. For more information, please visit www.masterstagers.com.

A

Simple does not need to be boring. Some people mistakenly think that staging is boring, that you will be left with no colour and no personality if you simplify and stage your home. The opposite is actually true.

When you remove all the small things that clutter up your space, you direct attention to those few things you love or the selling point of the room.

Staging is colour. You should feel emotion when you walk into a room. Pick a shade that makes you feel happy or calm or excited. It could be a colour in a favourite piece of art or in a scarf you enjoy wearing.

Then repeat that colour in several places.

In these photos, I used a builder’s new home and enticed potential buyers with simplicity and colour. Your eye goes to the finishing details, the splashes of colour, the spaciousness of the rooms. The result is calm and pleasing, draws you in and holds your interest.

s we begin to anticipate the end of the winter season our thoughts often turn to upcoming changes in weather. With that first burst of warmth we tend to get restless and look forward to the changes that spring will bring. Some of us even get the urge to clean out our closets and lighten the load of the heavy Staging your home, whether for selling winter gear. or for living, does not have to be expenThis is true for our lives as well.

Stevenson Team has recognized the value of staging their listings with outstanding results. When an experienced realtor and a qualified stager work together, they get results. Showcase your home now and enjoy the benefits.

Take a deep breath and take that first step to simplifying your home surroundings.

Begin to reduce and eliminate what is unnecessary. Simplify your space and you will start to simplify your life. Free yourself, reawaken your senses and love your space all over again. ◘

Secrets to a SUCCESSFUL HOME SALE Disassociate Yourself from Your Home Make the mental decision to let go of your emotions and focus on the fact that this house will no longer be yours and it must be prepared to attract new owners.

De-Clutter Remember that you are selling space and clutter reduces the look of spaciousness. Pack up books and knickknacks. Clean out closets and storage areas.

Make sure the kitchen and bathroom counters are clear of everything. Think of this process as a headstart on the packing you will eventually have to do.

De-Personalize Pack up your personal photos and family artifacts so that Buyers are not distracted by how you live. You want the Buyers to see themselves living there.

Maintain The Mechanicals Have the furnace, air conditioner and chimney inspected and cleaned. Check drains and ductwork.

Fix any plumbing problems or leaky roofs. Buyers expectations are that these items are in good condition.

Do Your Fix-ups Repaint or at least touch up interior and exterior paint for a fresh, polished look. Replace items that show wear and tear.

You can instantly modernize a room with upgrades to faucets, drawer pulls or a new light fixture.

Brush Up Your Curb Appeal First impressions are everything so show off your home’s best face. Tidy up the landscaping, invest in fresh outdoor lighting and house numbers if applicable, and choose a few tasteful accessories to create an inviting entranceway. Don’t forget to wash the windows.

Hire a Professional Stager It’s a fact! A staged home sells faster and for more money. A home buyer is willing to pay more for a home that has been professionally staged. A stager will know exactly how to showcase your home to its best advantage.
