If this doesn’t make you feel springy then I don’t know what does. Other than a fresh bundle of tulips maybe...and now I’m off to pick up some tulips! ⁣ •⁣ They say that kitchens and bathrooms sell houses... well I think master bedrooms are right up there on the list. I’ve had a number of my buyers tell me specifically what they want in their master bedroom (usually large with a walk in closet and en-suite bathroom). ⁣ •⁣ If you’re thinking about Reno’s this year, don’t forget about your master bedroom!⁣ •⁣ #bedroom #bed #bedroomdecor #bedding #ensuite #homedecor #bedroominspo #bedroomdesign #bedroominteriors #bench #whitebedroom #homedecoration #bedcover #freshinterior #bedroommakeover #bedding (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_4sBpHYf0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o0h9vn5zqdtr

[SPRING]⁣ •⁣ Finally. We can breathe, pull ourselves out of hibernation and start to feel the motivation the warmer weather brings! ⁣ •⁣ If you’re thinking that 2019 is the year to become a homeowner or make a change, I’m always here to answer your questions! I’ve had a few people reach out to me already on Instagram and I can’t wait to see what 2019 will bring for them! It’s going to be a great year for you!⁣ •⁣ #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestateyxe #realtor #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #saskatoonshines #saskrealestate #realtoring #saskatooning #realtorsofinstagram #realtorlife #yxehouses (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6eCqAHobk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5mfcxffo5ar4

[ART] ⁣ •⁣ The art you choose for living in your home might look a little different than the art you choose for SELLING that home. Since you’re trying to make the home appealing to the general public and reach the most potential buyers, you’ll want to keep art to a minimum. Choose pieces that are neutral, mainstream, tasteful, and non-controversial (even though that’s some of my favourite kind). ⁣ •⁣ Staging matters when selling your home and your Realtor should be paying attention to the details.⁣ •⁣ #sketch #painting #draw #instaart #creative #arte #ink #streetart #color #sketchbook #artoftheday #paint #doodle #contemporaryart #pencil #artsy #graffiti #digitalart #abstract #instaartist #watercolor #picture #artistic #arts #gallery #fineart #artgallery #tattoos #graphic #illustrator #homedecor (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu34tSUnmQ1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x4pt1jezhu67

[Fresh or Fake?] • When you’re selling your home, real plants and flowers are the best choice. Is it practical? Not always. Faux is the next best and they make them pretty believable these days! My tip for you? Shop places like Homesense and Michaels for the best selection and return them when you’re finished. Past the return date? You can still get a little bit of your investment back by selling on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace. Love them? Keep them! Or leave them for the buyer with a nice note ☺️ • #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestateyxe #realtor #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #saskatoonshines #saskrealestate #realtoring #saskatooning #realtorsofinstagram #realtorlife #yxehouses #mauve #staging #flowers #realorfake #interiordesign #mauveinterior #peonies #sellingsaskatoon #sellingyxe (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BurBl6gnH9D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sw2kmp3ll5sg

I love a good flat lay. If you’re doing renovations before selling, its best to keep the finishes neutral and timeless. Get help from a local interior designer, find inspiration on Pinterest (my favourite place to look), and take home samples to get a visual. • #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestate #realtor #ilovemyjob #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #houseandhome #saskatoonshines #saskrealestate #realtoring #yxedesign #flatlayfriday #pinkflatlay #yxedecor #pink #pinkinterior #realtorlife #designinspo #yxerenovations #yxeinteriordesign (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMumOQnp6y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qyemdkgaohnc

There’s a full moon tonight. That means letting go of the old and making room for the new! I can feel the spring market picking up already and that means new listings; homeowners that are ready to move forward and upward, and buyers that are eager to start a new chapter. • What are you letting go of tonight? • #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestate #realtor #ilovemyjob #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #houseandhome #saskatoonshines #saskrealestate #fullmoon #moonart #pinkroom #pinkdecor #homedecor #realtoring #moonphases (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFR3YPHSnn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1zf16wbx8sto

[DINING AREAS] These days, most home buyers want a home with a formal dining area, even if they don’t plan on using it. A dining area increases the value of your home and can add visual appeal; especially if staged nicely. • Sellers: the goal is to make the space look as large as possible so make sure you have an appropriately sized dining table for the room, and chairs that fit. Don’t be afraid to use Pinterest or Google for inspiration, and use items like table runners, dinnerware, fresh flowers or greenery to add extra appeal! • #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestate #realtor #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #realtoring #houseandhome #saskrealestate #yxehome #blushroom #sellertips #diningroom #homestaging #stagingtips #pink #pinkdiningroom #blushdecor (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_tFZNHDDt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jubqs67z7t1i

[BATHROOMS] More tips for sellers since they need the most help in this kind of market! • The appearance of spacious countertops and open spaces is paramount in the bathroom. Clear all surfaces and be specific about placing vignettes (groups of decorative items) and keep baskets under the sink neat and tidy, and ready to throw personal hygiene items into. Keep storage areas neat and organized and minimalistic. • Keep bath towels clean, consistent and neutral in colour and folded neatly hanging on the towel bar. And close that dang toilet lid! • #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestate #realtor #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #pinkbathroom #saskrealestate #bathroomdecor #bathroomreno #staging #vignette #realtoring #sellingahouse #saskatchewanrealestate (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9c7-tn_yQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8cdpqbcaoxqz

[LOVE] is not only something you feel, it is something you do. • It’s one of my favourite days of the year, though I think love should be celebrated every day. Reese Witherspoon says “you’ll always gain by giving love” and I can attest to that. The world could use more love so go out and show your loved one, family member, pets, co-worker, boss, employee, and stranger some love. Be kind always - love is the best ROI in life 💕 • #loveday #valentinesdecor #vday #valentinesday2018 #ilovemyclients #iloveyou #yxe #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestate #realtor #ilovemyjob #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #houseandhome #saskatoonshines #saskrealestate #yxelove #loveyxe # (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3evGZHbAa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w9geeoo9hzjo

Our family doesn’t really do gifts at Christmas. We all have what we need and we all understand that we would rather not waste money and meaning on something none of us need. One year we all pitched in $20 and wrote down our favourite charity on a piece of paper and drew it out of a hat. One year we have done a gift exchange but the rule was that it had to be something you made, and other years we have done a $20 max and the gift had to be something you can use. I also remember one year the rule was it had to be something you had in your house that you didn’t use anymore. • We haven’t decided what we’re doing this year yet. • What does your family do for gifts? #shearerchristmasshenanigans #giftexchange #christmasgiftexchange #wastenotwantnot #yxe #yxechristmas #christmastraditions #yxerealtor #yxesaskatoon #saskatoon #saskatoonhomes #yxehomes #yxelife #yxeliving #forsaleinsk #realestate #realtor #ilovemyjob #yxehouses #yxerealestate #realestate #saskhouses #realtoryxe #houseandhome #saskatoonshines #saskrealestate (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrS6N-6HftR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x13ytjg8so7h
