We been walking the trails and the parks and it’s getting icy again.  The snow is so hardpacked that it’s turning to ice.  We’re being really careful but we worry about Mama and Papa as they just don’t have these big claws to grip the ice like we do!  I’m keeping a close eye on them.  They both have kleets now that fasten onto their boots, good thing.  We found the walking so good when we had the fresh packed snow, just like a side walk but those days are gone and now the ice is here.  We had a nice stroll down at Riverside Park this week just before dusk with a beautiful sunset shinning down over the ice.  Nice end to a perfect day.

  Enjoying the view from Riverside Park!

We had a great turn out at our four open houses last weekend!  Even though it was a dirty, wet, rainy day, folks were out to view our homes.  Special thanks to our sellers for allowing us to host these open houses and special thanks to our colleagues Doug Craft and Jonathon Rasenberg who helped Mama and Charlie open four homes!

Have a good weekend, stay warm and we’ll see you really soon.

Your pal,

Baby it’s cold outside!  Be sure your furry friends are indoors, ears freeze quickly in these low temperatures.  Sure glad I’ve got this big thick double Newfoundland coat to keep me toasty no matter how much the temperature drops.  I love winter and especially the cold.  When Mama let me out early this morning I started jumping up and down like a little pony I was so happy!  Nicholas looks at me like I have two heads.  He’s not so happy about the cold and is wearing his fur-lined lumber jack coat and needs it.  His fine fur doesn’t keep him very warm so Mama is sure to keep his coat on him when he’s out.  When it’s closer to 0 he wears a nice thick sweater but the sweater won’t cut it in this weather.  I do have a nice fur lined blue plaid coat that I inherited from Theodore.  It’s made exactly like a horse blanket and fastens with buckles.  Mama bought it years ago at the Royal Winter Fair.  By the sounds of things I’ll be sporting it this weekend but I have to tell you, I feel like a Geek wearing a coat!  We shouldn’t complain too much about the cold as our friends in Toronto tell us it’s -32 there and has been for awhile!  When you’re looking for a new home you want one that is well-built and well insulated, keeping you not only warm and cosy in these cold months but also keeping your heating costs down as low as possible.  An inspector or trusted contractor friend will be able to tell you if the house you’re thinking of purchasing is well insulated. A fireplace or airtight stove is another welcome comfort in the cold temperatures.  Nicholas will be curled up by ours this weekend.

Please Note;  Charlie’s Open House is Cancelled for today; Due to the weather.  Please watch for it next Sunday Jan 26th.

Charlie is having another open house this coming Sunday at 12 Bitterroot Lane in Quispamsis, MLS# NB036871 from 1-3 pm.  This is a brand new 3100 square foot spec home located within walking distance of Q-Plex and the dog park!  What’s better than living near the dog park?  Nicholas and I would be over there every day.  This home has hardwood floors, open concept, fireplace, huge foyer, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, finished loft, finished daylight basement and 2-car garage!  Move-in ready!

Mama will be hosting a Global Luxury Waterfront open house not this Sunday but next Sunday January 26th from 2 – 4.  Stay tuned, the location to be announced.

Have a great weekend.  If you go out dress warm and if you’re staying in I hope you enjoy a nice fireplace!  Nicholas and I will be walking the trails of Spy Glass and RNS no matter what the weather.  We’ll see all you tough Cunucks on the trails!

Seems so strange now to say 2020!  Sounds so futuristic, don’t you think?  We’re looking forward to another stellar year in real estate and all the excitement and challenges this business can bring!  2019 was fantastic and we’ve hit the ground running in 2020!  Rather you are upsizing or downsizing, looking for waterfront or waterview, condo or townhouse, buying or selling, Mama, Charlie and I are here to help.  I’m personally hoping to be allowed to attend more showings and open houses.  With my good looks and personality plus I feel I’m an asset and with my excellent swimming skills I can certainly point out the many features of waterfront properties at open houses!  Mama is always concerned that someone may be afraid of a big black dog but look at this face, do I look scary to you?

I’m going to ask my furry colleagues Teddy Baskin and Whinny Dorian if their Papas let them attend.  Maybe they can help me convince Mama that Nicholas and I are good support at these events.  I can understand her saying no to Nicholas as the little guy gets a bit excited at times, running around acting the fool but I’m always laid-back and relaxed with perfect manners!  I just like hanging out with people and chilling, showing off the features of the properties.  I’ll keep working on her and if you bump into Mama mention that you’d like to see me and thanks for the support!

First open house of the year is hosted by Charlie at 12 Bitterroot Lane in Quispamsis, MLS# NB036871 this Sunday from 1-3 pm.  This is a brand new 3100 square foot spec home located within walking distance of Q-Plex and the dog park!  I’d love to be within walking distance to the dog park, Nicholas and I would be over there every day.  This home has hardwood floors, open concept, fireplace, huge foyer, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, finished loft, finished daylight basement and 2-car garage!  Move-in ready!

Watch out for freezing rain this weekend and drive safely.  Mama has showings with out of town buyers this weekend so we hope the weather is not too bad!  We’ll be out and about walking the trails of RNS when a break comes in the weather and picking up some groceries.  If you see up in our red truck please come over to say hello.  We have strict orders from Mama to stay in the vehicle when we’re in parking lots but we’d love to see you!
