A quick lesson in wood floors
Thinking about installing wood floors? The first decision you need to make
involves the type. According to the National Wood Flooring Association,
there are four types:

• Unfinished. This type requires you or your installer to sand and
apply a finish. If you want a specific colour or style, or you’re trying to
match existing flooring, this might be the best option for you.

• Factory finished. As the name suggests, this is flooring that has its
finish applied in the factory. Although it is more expensive, factory
finished flooring can be installed faster and can be walked upon
immediately.

• Solid. This is flooring that is made from a solid piece of wood, top to
bottom. The advantage is that it can be sanded and refinished many
times over the years, or even decades.

• Engineered. This is flooring that is made of thin layers of wood
pressed together. It can be engineered to be very durable and
expand and contract less than solid flooring.

•The type you choose depends on your needs. Talk to your dealer or
contractor about your specific application.

When some people think about selling their home, they imagine all the

things they will have to do: paint the kitchen, clean closets, prepare for

viewings, find another home, arrange financing, start packing, etc. It can all

seem very overwhelming very quickly.

In fact, the long to-do list you imagine you’ll have to deal with may dissuade

you from making a move! It doesn’t have to be that way.

There are many ways to make selling your home and buying another

relatively simple and easy.

Sure, there will be some work to do. You may need to prepare your property

so that it looks appealing to potential buyers – cleaning, de cluttering, doing

some repairs, etc. Of course, you will also need to view some properties for

sale in order to find your next dream home.

But those activities may not be as time-consuming or difficult as you had

imagined. In fact, you and your family might actually enjoy the experience –

and see it as an adventure.

The trick is to work with the right REALTOR®, someone who can guide you

through the process, show you the shortcuts, and generally make things

easier for you.

It’s building your first deck, or landscaping a yard. The task seems daunting,

unless you have a trusted experienced adviser by your side to guide you step-by-step

through the process. Then it’s a lot easier, and even fun!

That’s what a good REALTOR® can do for you. Looking for one? I happen to know one that can

get the job done right and get you where you want to be quicker.

It’s your move….I’ll help you make it!
