If you’re ready to become a homeowner for the first time, or you’re just about ready to downsize from your big family home, it’s likely the idea of buying a condo has already crossed your mind. We’ve put together this list of pros and cons to help you decide if a condo is the right […]
Yes, you’re an independent, free-thinking, condo-owning professional. But just because you own your condo doesn’t mean you can do whatever you wish… without first getting approval. As we explained in one of our previous blogs, you actually don’t own your balcony. Therefore, your plans to add balcony outdoor flooring tiles should include a check-in with […]
The urbanization trend that is spurring Canada’s condo boom may also be redefining what it means to be a good neighbour. Here’s why. Millenials (the children of boomers, born 1980 – 2000) are leaving their parents’ basements and buying condos, their first affordable piece of real estate. Boomers are downsizing, leaving the suburbs for smaller […]
Owning a condo means getting to know your property manager (PM). The list of reasons you’ll need to contact your PM is long.Buying a new sofa? Book the party room? Inquire about guest suites?

Nothing compares to the feeling I get when raving reviews come in from our customers. But facing the Dragons (of Dragons’ Den) comes close!
