THE “NEW NORMAL” – How Our Team Is Adapting To The Pandemic
As restrictions are being lifted and the city of Toronto continues to reopen, we wanted to share some details about how our team is operating during the pandemic.
We recognize that it’s not “back to normal” but rather the beginning of the “new normal”. Since the pandemic began, we’ve been making changes to the way that we sell real estate. One of those changes involves a commitment to providing Personal Protective Equipment to all of our clients as well as other Realtors and their clients who are viewing our listings.
LISTING YOUR HOME WITH US
All of our listings are stocked with individually packaged masks and disposable gloves and there is always hand sanitizer available at the property.
Our convenient online booking system also includes a mandatory disclaimer to ensure that no one viewing your home:
1) Has recently travelled outside of Canada.
2) Is displaying symptoms including: fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing.
3) Has come in contact with anyone with a confirmed or presumptive COVID-19 test in the last 14 days.
BUYING A HOME WITH US
Over the past few weeks, we’ve noticed that the majority of our buyer clients are wearing their own masks and gloves during showings which is great! In the event that a buyer client doesn’t have their own PPE or has forgotten to bring it, we have individually packaged gloves and masks as well as hand sanitizer in our vehicles at all times.
Whether you’re buying or selling, we are here to help and we’re committed to doing our part to make sure that we operate in a safe manner.

Ever wonder what might happen to your monthly mortgage payment if interest rates rise?
Interest rates have been so low for so long that we barely raise an eyebrow about the warnings of higher rates ahead. But long-term interest rates might tick upward this year as the U.S. Federal Reserve cuts back on its economic stimulus which has kept rates low.
For the past five years, the Fed has been buying U.S. Treasury bonds every month by creating the money. It writes a cheque to buy the bonds which has expanded consumer credit, making it cheaper to borrow money.
If your neighbour’s tree falls in your yard, who pays?
During last month’s ice storm your neighbour’s tree fell and damaged your house. So, who pays?
For most of us, this should be covered under a homeowner insurance policy, whether the branches are from your trees or your neighbour’s. If you have all perils coverage, you may also claim for any damages caused to your car as well.
