Restaurant Review


This past Thursday, I opened my home for an all day Beauty Boutique event. I had 4 venues, Stella and Dot jewellry by Cecelia Zilli, Fusion Jewelry by Laura Lee Harris, Bijoux purses by Sheri Yeo and Arbonne Skin Care by Cathy McMahon. It was a great day - we had over 60 people. I got caught up with a lot of friends that I haven't seen for a long time. At the end of the day, we were exhausted and tired and Sheri was spending the night since she came from Port Perry. At 9pm, we headed down to another one of my faves, Beccofino's and had a fabulous dinner. The service is always upbeat and friendly with great food. Also the owner recognized my ad in the Oakville beaver, which makes me like it even more. I highly recommend the grain-fed chicken with pasta - they will make any you desire!!


Thx, JO.

Steps to Kerr Village and sold in 20 days!

I am so excited for the sellers on my listing just steps away from Kerr Village. After staging and advertising and open houses, it is sold! My sellers were wonderful and very gracious thanking me for my hard work. This job is so rewarding. The great thing about selling homes in Oakville, or anywhere, really is that you are always learning! There are challenges with any properties, especially when you are working with a niche market. With hard work and a little creative thinking, we can make the bright points of a property stand out and make a deal that's satisfying for both sides. That's all for now. Listed and sold in 20 days!

Raving about Staging!




I had my new listing in Oakville near Kerr Village staged today by my professional stagers Fil and Leslie. Such huge improvement, just by rolling up the carpets, rearranging all the furniture, making sure all the lights are working and cleaning windows. Decluttering the space, including all counter tops and bathrooms and making sure the beds are freshly made has made our listing photos awesome. Less is more. This house has great bones and now that is much more apparent, thanks to the fabulous job Fil and Leslie did. My own Oakville stagers. I truly believe staging a home to sell is money in the Seller's pockets! JO

This small thriving community is located less than thirty minutes from Toronto, Ontario and offers access to the QEW, 407, and 403, and it has a fantastic go train service, which gets you where you need to be in record time. Sit back and leave the driving to them.

One of the great things about this community is the neighborhoods. To buy from the many available houses for sale in Oakville, means to buy into a small suburb that feels more like an small village than a big city, as the people in each neighborhood are outgoing, friendly, and welcoming, plus enjoy all the amenities that a big city offers, while finding them close to home.
