bLOG

Welcome to our World Famous bTEAM bLOG!

We wrote our first bLOG in September 2010 and haven’t stopped since.

The content you will read here is exclusively written by us and only us. They are created and inspired as a result of our day-to-day work as Realtors.

Wide ranging and occasionally entertaining, we hope you can find some useful reading here. Have a suggestion for something you’d like to write about? Reach out and we’ll make it happen!

The Waiting Game – Do yourself a favour and plan ahead

b-LOG: When New Isn't New Anymore
New furnace! New windows! New roof! Well....they're like 7 years old or so. No, wait. They were done when Lucy was born, so they're more like 9 years old... (so, not new)

b-LOG: Supply vs. Perceived Value
Supply & demand will factor into the (perceived) value of a home. Are you selling a unicorn or vanilla pudding (no offence!). Is your home replaceable or one-of-a-kind?
b-LOG: The Baseball Real Estate Connection
Imagine showing up the day before the baseball season starts. You do a few wind sprints and *BAM*. You're ready to go. ...or, you train, prepare and work for weeks on end to get ready....
