Zero stress and record selling price. Christine and her team (Tara) are the best in the business, in my opinion.

We had never sold a house before, and were completely unaware of the overall process. Owning a condo, there are many extra steps that need to be in place before a unit can be sold.

Our experience started with an informative and professional interaction with Lori, the Client Care Specialist.

Catherine worked tirelessly over several years to find me just the right condo for retirement and then negotiated a […]

Lynn B. | More Love

Ali from the Christine Cowern Team went above and beyond what we thought a real estate agent would be like. We had previously worked with another agent and had a negative experience, so working with Ali & The Christine Cowern Team was eye opening. She was always on time, answered our emails and questions promptly […]

You might want to share this Reel with a friend wh You might want to share this Reel with a friend who’s thinking about buying a home on their own!

Buying a home can be an exciting journey, but also nerve-wracking when you’re doing it on your own (we’ve been there 😅).
 
So let’s weigh the pros and cons of embarking on this empowering solo adventure! 🌈✨

Pros: 

1️⃣ Independence! You can decorate as you please, rock that funky wallpaper, and turn up the volume on your favourite tunes! 

2️⃣ Financial freedom! Build equity, invest in your future, and watch that property value rise! 

3️⃣ Peace and quiet! No need to compromise on your ideal space—create a sanctuary that truly reflects your unique personality!

Cons: 

1️⃣ Maintenance! From leaky faucets to mowing the lawn, the responsibility falls solely on you. But hey, think of it as an opportunity to channel your inner DIY guru! 

2️⃣ Financial commitment! Buying a home is a long-term investment, so make sure you’re ready to handle mortgage payments, taxes, and other expenses on your own.

Remember, it’s all about finding the balance that suits your lifestyle and goals! 🤗 Whether you’re teaming up or flying solo, creating your dream home is an empowering journey!

Let’s talk about the great rent debate! 🏢💰 Let’s talk about the great rent debate! 🏢💰 

You may have noticed that current rent prices and mortgage payments for Toronto properties are neck and neck in many cases 🤝😅 

So you may be wondering...

Should I rent!? Should I own!?! 

Let’s break it down.

Renting can be a breeze! 🌬️ 

PROS: No long-term commitment, flexibility to move, and someone else to handle repairs. 

CONS: You’re missing out on building equity and saying goodbye to that dream of owning something of your own. 🚫💔

On the flip side, buying a condo is like planting roots in your favourite neighbourhood. 🌱🏡 

PROS: You build equity, enjoy tax benefits, and make it truly your own.

CONS: You’ve got more responsibilities like maintenance and HOA fees to juggle. It’s a little extra work for a whole lot of ownership bliss. 💪🔑

So, the choice is yours! 

Renting offers flexibility and ease, while buying a condo brings pride of ownership. 

Whichever path you take, we’re here to guide you toward the best fit.🌟✨

The remarkable sale of this gorgeous home in just The remarkable sale of this gorgeous home in just 7 days, for $225,000 over asking price, is a testament to our team's commitment and dedication to our clients! 💪🔥

When we first met our clients, they were doing their due diligence and interviewing several companies. When they made the decision to work with us, we were honoured and got straight to work! 🧑‍💻

Here is how we prepped their home for sale resulting in minimal days on market and top dollar:

✅ Our sellers hired painters with our recommendations of what to paint and colour palettes. 
✅ They also upgraded their kitchen, all the doors and hardware throughout the property and other minor repairs with our guidance.
✅ Sent in a cleaner to shine the home from top to bottom.
✅ Had our stager use her creative mind to design the space to show case all its beauty.
✅ We coordinated the home inspection in advance to give her and any interested buyers peace of mind about the condition of the property.

After all the finishing touches were done, brought in our brilliant marketing team to take, photos, drone shots, videos, virtual tour and floor plans.

We also left a neighbourhood report with all of the local amenities and schools at the property for showings (an absolute must in our listing process) 💪

A week later, dozens of buyers had seen the property in person (and hundreds online) which resulted in multiple offers, an enviable sale price and an ecstatic seller and buyer 🔥

It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with our sellers through this process! 🥰

Now we're off to find this beautiful family their next gem! 💎
