The Probate Rules Have Changed In Manitoba

In 2023 you used to be able to sell a home prior to probate passing, but that has all changed.🧐 In all honesty, it sucks. It means the family dealing with the estate has to hold onto the home and maintain it for weeks and months waiting for probate.😵 It means more shovelling in the winter, lawn mowing in the summer and the cost of holding the property.👈

What you can do is get us in as soon as you would like so that the minute that probate happens, we can get that home on the market for you.🙌

It is a tough time, but we are here for you!😊

Happy You Waited For The Right Home

Some journeys are quick, others are multi-year house hunts. And this is one of those journeys, where every year we would look at a small handful of homes, but never quite finding the right one. Some just sold too high, some were too big or too small, and then when we saw this last minute showing the day before offers we knew that it was the one. It was all smiles from everyone as we walked through this home.

I am so happy that you got such an incredible home. The yard is to die for, and I am just a little bit jealous (maybe a lot). I am happy that you waited for just the right one and that you will be so happy here.

Knob And Tube Wiring And Your Home Insurance

Knob and tube is something you need to be very aware of if you are hunting for a home.👈 Mostly because to get home insurance you are going to have to remove it within 30 days of possession.😵 Depending on the style of home you are buying the cost💰 can vary. Bungalows with unfinished basements aren't as expensive, but once you get into a 2 story home things can get pretty tricky in the replacement of the wiring.😬

Reach out to learn more about this, and how our team can help you on your house hunt.😊

Thank You For Your Patience

If I could write a story of the most stressful condo transactions there ever was... this might make the top of the list.

This one was complex, it required many many deep breaths, an abundance of patience, and a lot of concern. The buyer of this condo kept throwing us for different loops as we were navigating the transaction, keeping us constantly on our toes and wondering if we would ever make it to the finish line.

There were many times I questioned it all and wondered if we had made the right decision, but we stayed the course and made it to the finish line with a fast possession of this condo!

Thank you to my dearest seller for being the most patient, kind and considerate person. You truly are amazing and I wish I had more clients who were just like you.

You Deserve This Amazing Home!

I often say "things happen for a reason"... and this story holds true to that. There were 2 homes that we had offered on and lost, one was complete and total heartbreak when we put our best foot forward after falling in love, only to find out we had been completely knocked out of the water.

This home came together perfectly, starting with these buyers meeting the sellers randomly one day on walk. Then some personal life stuff that they had been waiting on for a long time happened, followed by a perfect home inspection. This home was better than the one they had just loved and lost, and we were in it to win it!

So when I got to send the video letting them know that they were indeed the winning offer I got in return the best phone call ever. I don't think I will ever forget the excitement in their voices when I told them that the house was indeed theirs.

You deserve this amazing home, and I am so crazy happy for you.

It Was A Pleasure Helping You!

These two are currently enjoying the most amazing honeymoon that started just 1 day after possession of their home.

I will never forget when we pulled up to this home. We had spent the last few days looking at many many homes, so they were both well versed on what cost was associated with a certain look. So when we pulled up he had the BIGGEST smile on his face, and then it immediately disappeared with him asking "how much does this cost? This does not look like it's in our budget."

I let them know that it was not in their budget; it was over by a decent chunk, but I thought that there was a good chance we could get it within budget. So with some hesitation we went in and took a look... and began falling in love. The ceiling height was amazing, the extra garage was awesome, the backyard view was fantastic. We walked away with some hesitations and still thinking it was possibly out of reach. By the next day they let me know they wanted us to give it a try, and so we did.

We received the most amazing counter offer ever, basically getting every single thing we wanted, and the best part... the counter price fit the budget. With big smiles on our faces we got to work on home inspections and financing, and with everything working perfectly it brings us to this amazing photo on the steps of this fantastic home.

It was an absolute pleasure helping you on this house hunt. I can't wait to visit you here many more times over the years, and if your kitchen faucet ever goes missing, know that I did indeed steal it.
