Let me refer you to a Great Agent!

Winter has arrived in Southern Ontario with full force, over the last couple of weeks.  I am sure there are some of you who are already sick of shoveling, especially in the London or Barrie areas. I know my friends in Shelburne are getting hit hard as well.
We are entering the time of year when many people start to think, I want to move south for the winter or permanently, I can’t handle the winter anymore!!
If you hear someone say that, just let me know and I can hook them up with a great Realtor in the south. I have contacts all across the US and Canada. These are people that I have met at events as well as people in my Royal LePage Network of Agents.
Even if you are only a couple of hours away from Brampton I have many contacts all around Ontario that I would trust my Clients, Friends and Family with. In Fact just last week I met some great agents from Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal and Thorn hill.
So if you or your Family or Friends has a hard time finding a Real estate agent in your area or the area in which you want to move to.  Give me a call and I can refer you to one that will take care of you just as I would.

Having a Home Budget is Very Important!!

I went to a Conference this week and one of the subjects that they spoke about was having a working home budget.  Most people have an idea of how much their bills are but many do not have this information written down.  
It is important to sit down and take the time to so that you know exactly where your money is going. It is not going to be a fun exercise for most. You should always ensure you have enough money to pay the bills and put some money into a saving account. Once this is done you will then know the amount of money you have for other expenditures.  
The advice I was given during this presentation was to spend the time to write out to information for the first couple of months and then to enter the information into a program.  
There are some websites that I have found (listed below) and there is plenty of software programs that you can buy for your computer that will allow you to store all of your information from month to month (budget and actual) and should also provide detailed reports.
Start 2011 with a working home budget!!
