My Manitoulin Real Estate

What are we thinking about these days?

How should we choose a Realtor?

So how do we choose a Realtor? As Realtors, we need to make you aware that you have options around how you work with us. It is very important that you make a wise decision around this issue. Up until around the mid 1990’s, all realtors were legally responsible to the seller, no matter who they were working with. That meant that if a buyer looked at a home with a realtor, the realtor’s legal responsibility was to give any information from the buyer to the seller. So, if

Today's frustration at My Manitoulin Real Estate...

There are days I hate technology even though we need it to run our business. Honestly, I would rather deal with a difficult human being than deal with computer stuff. Rant over. The end.

Why have a home inspection...part 2

Home inspectors are NOT infallible and may not catch every problem. Despite the disclaimers in their contracts, the courts still hold them responsible most of the time because they are considered ‘experts’. But that means having to take the time and expense to sue a home inspector who misses a problem. It’s also why it’s important to hire someone who has liability insurance. So why bother having an inspection then? Neither you nor we are electricians, roofers or plumbers s

Really? Why should I have a home inspection?

Home Inspectors Choosing a home inspector is one of the most important decisions a buyer will make and it’s important that you have a clear understanding of what to expect from a home inspection. The purpose of a home inspection is to have an experienced and accredited person go through the home in detail to uncover any major problems that would affect a buyer’s decision to buy the home. It is important to remember that there are no perfect homes, including brand new ones.

What happens when you fall in love? Sometimes you have to move...

The good news about falling in love is, well, falling in love! The bad news is it may mean making a move from a house that you absolutely love. And that’s what happened to my friend Monique. She came to me as a referral from another friend…and quickly became a friend in her own right. Monique had a bittersweet dilemma; she had married a wonderful man, who treats her like the treasure she is, and he had gone out and bought her dream home for her! But it meant selling the home

Real Estate isn't stressful...said no one ever

“Real estate isn’t stressful”…said absolutely no one ever-). And while we try to prepare our buyers and sellers for the realities of preparing a home for sale, then shopping for just the right place to move into, and then the actual move itself…at the end of the day, the real truth is that it is a stressful, hectic and taxing process for all concerned. There are so many details… and so much riding on the outcome. Will our home sell for what we need? Is it better to wait?

Amos' Story

Hi…my name is Amos and I am 3 years old. I live in a new house!! And I have my own bedroom with a big boy bed because I’m a big boy now. Mommy, Daddy, and I moved here from a real big city where Daddy says homes are too spensive (that means they cost too much money). We met with Laurel and Garry, who are Realtors. That’s a funny word but Mommy says they help people who want to buy a house. I liked being with them because I got to hold the flashlight for Garry when we looked a

What's exciting for us these days?

Sometimes a girl just needs a new pair of kick a** shoes...and sometimes a business needs a new website. Thank you to Ashley and her team at Bloom Your Business for creating a website that is so reflective of who we are and what we do. From the moment we met on Zoom, to the detailed questionnaire about what was important to us (it took me two days to fill that thing out) to the final product...we are thrilled with the result and with the work this team did on our behalf.
