Beyond the move:
How I can help.
Our relationship doesn’t have to end when the sold sign goes on your home, or when I hand you your keys to your new place! Here are nine ways that my team and I can help you anytime.
People Over Properties
You might be surprised to learn that homes don’t excite me that much. Although I do enjoy interesting architecture and the challenges of a changing market, and I love the creativity and challenges of marketing, nothing compares to the people that I work with.
Helping you to make the big moves in your life and chase your dreams and goals is the most endlessly satisfying part of my work.
To that end, here are several ways that I can help you beyond the purchase or sale of your home.
Market Updates and Trends
Staying informed about the real estate market can help you make better decisions down the road. I provide regular updates on market trends, neighborhood insights, and economic factors that could impact your future buying or selling plans. Whether you’re curious about how your home’s value is changing or want to know the best time to list, I’ve got you covered.
Home Valuation and Equity Analysis
If you’ve been working with me for a while, one thing that you might see in your email each year is a Home Equity Checkup. This is a quick email letting you know what’s been selling in your neighbourhood, along with a quick video opinion of the value of your home.
Even if you’re not planning to sell, understanding your home’s current market value and the equity you’ve built can be incredibly useful. I can provide a detailed analysis of your property’s value and discuss how different improvements might increase it over time.
Would you like me to update you on your home’s equity? Give me a shout anytime.
Home Improvement Advice
Thinking about remodeling or making improvements to your home? I can offer advice on which upgrades are most likely to pay off in terms of boosting your home’s value and appeal. From minor cosmetic changes to major renovations, I can help you prioritize projects based on your budget and goals.
Beware when it comes to advice on basements, however. I am known to have a soft spot for tacky 1970’s basement bars. Shag carpet, quilted leatherette bar and wood paneling? Count me in, good taste be damned!
Neighborhood Information
Are you exploring different neighborhoods for a potential future move or just curious about what’s happening in your own community? I can provide detailed information on schools, amenities, upcoming developments, and local events. This can help you make informed decisions about where you might want to live in the future.
We even have a great page on our website dedicated to Ottawa’s neighborhoods! This library is expanded and updated all the time.
Real Estate Investment Guidance
If you’re considering real estate as an investment, I can help you understand the local market dynamics, identify potential investment properties, and evaluate the long-term benefits and risks. Whether it’s rental properties, flipping houses, or other investment strategies, I can guide you through the process.
Connecting with Trusted Professionals
Maybe this should be higher on the list, since we help with this all the time.
Over the years, I’ve built a network of trusted professionals, including mortgage brokers, home inspectors, contractors, and attorneys. If you need recommendations for any services related to your home, I can connect you with reliable experts who can help.
Planning for the Future
Even if buying or selling isn’t on your immediate horizon, it’s never too early to start planning. I can help you set realistic goals, create a timeline, and prepare for the future. This might include understanding your financing options, building a down payment, or strategizing for a smooth transition when the time is right.
Friends, Family and Client Events
Our team is serious about the relationship that we build with you, and we love to see you growing and thriving in Ottawa.
One of the big ways that we like to say “thank you” to you for your trust and confidence in us is through client events that we hold throughout the year. Some of these, like our Spring and Fall Tire Change Day events, take care of a pain point that we all experience. Others, like our Holiday Kick-Off Perogy Party and Thanksgiving Pie Giveaway, are a relaxing way to catch up and share a treat!
I hope that you’ll take advantage of these and that we keep in touch as long as you live in Ottawa!
Community Engagement
Lastly, I love staying connected with the community and helping to build strong neighborhood ties. Whether it’s through local events, charitable activities, or community projects, I’m always here to support and engage with our wonderful community. If you have ideas or initiatives you’d like to discuss, please reach out!
Remember, real estate isn’t just about transactions; it’s about relationships and being a resource for you at every stage of your homeownership journey. If there’s anything you need or simply want to chat, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Your questions and concerns are important to me, and I’m here to help in any way I can.
Warm regards,
