Photography

I‘ve always placed a lot of importance on taking great photos of every listing I get.  With the advent of the internet and the popularity of MLS.ca, it’s crucial to have professional, wide angle pictures of your home to clearly illustrate the depth and features of each room.  And as MLS.ca currently only allows a maximum of 9 photos per listing, it’s critical to make a good first impression to get homebuyers interested in seeing your home in person.

If you’re hiring a realtor, make sure to insist on having them hire a professional photographer to have wide angle photos of your house taken.  Here is a great video I found on YouTube that shows you the striking difference between a regular point-and-shoot camera and a professional camera.

Lakelands Exterior shot

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to update you on a new listing I have in Lakelands Village, Brampton.

This home is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached home on a quiet street.  The house has a large backyard and best of all, there are no houses behind.

The sellers have added hardwood floors on the main floor and on the second floor hallway.  The kitchen comes included with top of the line stainless steel appliances, and the adjoining family room is already wired for a home theatre system and comes with a gas fireplace.  The master bedroom ensuite bathroom features a whirlpool tub.

The basement, like most of the new homes in Lakelands, is still unfinished.  However, there is a rough-in bathroom and rough-in central vacuum system in place in case you wish to add these features later.  And of course, living in Lakelands means the convenience of highway 410, all the plazas and shops close by (including Trinity Mall), the new hospital, parks, and the lake in the middle of the village.

If you’re interested in seeing this property or any other real estate in Brampton, please contact me!

If you’re looking for a quaint home in the Heart Lake area, this home may be perfect for you.  Nestled behind the beautiful foilage of Heart Lake Conservation park, this home offers a spacious open-concept layout with 3 bedrooms in a family-oriented neighbourhood.  The neighbours are all fantastic!  The large basement is finished and features a walk-out to a fenced, private backyard.

Because this is an older home, you’ll find the neighbourhood filled with lots of tall trees, and nature trails leading into Heart Lake are just steps away.  The home is minutes from highway 410 off of Sandalwood Parkway and very close to a large shopping plaza.  A recreation centre, the new hospital, and other convenient amenties are all near by.

There have been a number of recent upgrades to the home, and the sale includes all the appliances and window coverings.  This house is currently listed for $229,500 and won’t last long at this price.  It’s rare to find a beautiful home like this at a price this low in Brampton.  If you’re interested in this home and want to stop by and have a look, please feel free to contact me at the top of the page.  You can also drop in at our open house on June 22, 2008 between 12pm – 4pm.

Hope to talk to you soon!

** Update**

Thanks to Karen for pointing out that I forgot to include the address!  The address is 46 Barrington Crescent, and the main intersection is Sandalwood and Royal Palm.

    Hi Patrick Currently in Brampton, the lowest priced semi-detached home is selling for $224,900. I don't think I'll be able to find anything in your price range. Lang

If you’re looking to buy a home in Lakelands Village, Brampton…. stop right there!  For most of you familiar with the Lakelands community, you’ll know that it’s an enclosed neighbourhood of stunning homes built around a man-made lake in a prime area of Brampton.  Aside from the close amenities and shopping, you’re also steps away from the Brampton Transit, Highway 410, and just a minute drive from Brampton’s new hospital.

That being said, Lakelands features a wide myriad of models to accommodate all types of buyers.  From cozy semi-detached homes to sprawling detached houses, there is a home for every type of buyer.  But regardless of the model or the style, most people move to Lakelands for that family-oriented community feeling.

This particular listing is the Balsam model with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, covering 2,450 square feet but feeling like so much more because of great use of usable space.  The house sits on a bend, providing all the benefits of a corner home with extra sunlight and a large front lawn, without the hassle of extra traffic and noise of typical corner lots.  What you’ll notice first when you step into this home is how much sunlight fills the main floor.  The home faces southwest, so the sun shines through throughout almost all of the day.  Every room is large and spacious to fit any family’s needs.  There is no carpet in this house!  The unique pie shaped lot provides a large backyward with a large fence for privacy, and best of all…. the neighbours are fantastic!

If you’re interested in this home, please feel free to contact me!

    Hi Abhi Sorry, this house was just sold a few weeks ago. Lang

I had an opportunity to take some pictures of a new listing in the northwest end of Brampton yesterday. This semi-detached home is very bright and spacious, and you’ll notice that the entire house features neutral tones. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and one of the key selling points of this particular model is that the laundry room is up on the second floor. Best of all, their are no neighbours behind the backyard. Let me know if this house appeals to you and you’d like more information.
