The Lakelands Association of REALTORS® is guided

The Lakelands Association of REALTORS® is guided by its Quality of Life Principles.

🌳 We believe in preserving our environment. REALTORS® recognize the extraordinary gift that the natural environment offers to our local communities and to Ontario’s and Canada’s citizens.

Furthermore, we recognize the importance of parks, open space, the watershed, shoreline, clean lakes and rivers, natural habitat and ecosystems and the overall environment to our quality of life andtherefore the marketability of surrounding property. To maintain our region's quality of life and to protect the environment, REALTORS® support policies that encourage conservation and wise use of natural resources while allowing for responsible, well-managed growth and development. This can be accomplished through the use of innovative planning techniques, so-called “green” design, architecture and technologies, and the use of smart-growth principles.

Local REALTORS® always work with their clients' b

Local REALTORS® always work with their clients' best interests as top priority. Replacing mechanical lockboxes with Sentrilock® technology provides a seamless, smooth experience for all involved - the REALTOR®, the client and the prospective buyer.

Trust local, hire local for the best in service and innovation.

🏡 If you're considering renewing your mortgage,

🏡 If you're considering renewing your mortgage, @crea_aci has some terrific tips that we're sharing in the coming weeks.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☝️ First tip? Make a Plan! ✍🏽⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Many Canadian mortgage holders renew without asking any questions—often receiving a higher rate with a mortgage product that doesn’t suit their needs. Do yourself a favour, and don’t sign a renewal letter without doing your due diligence.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Don’t wait until the last minute to act on your mortgage renewal. Start reassessing your needs well in advance of your renewal date to make sure you get the best rate and mortgage product for you and your family. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) suggests planning ahead and reviewing your needs four months prior to your renewal date. This includes:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
▪️Researching the current market for trends, interest rates, and lenders’ products.⁣⁣
▪️Educating yourself on the options available, including everything you need to know about reverse mortgages.⁣⁣
▪️Assessing your current financial situation, accounting for things like savings goals, children’s education, and debt consolidation.⁣⁣

You can find a digital copy of A Homeowner’s Guide to Radon on CREA.ca. This guide explains how radon enters the home, how to test and how to mitigate. You can also order printed copies to share with your clients.

This last week has been incredibly inspiring! #REA

This last week has been incredibly inspiring! #REALTORSCareWeek - the nationwide initiative hosted by @crea_aci - has inspired some incredible outreach from professionals across the country.

The Lakelands Association of REALTORS® is continuing its tradition of supporting local shelter-based charities, including HERS – Haliburton Emergency Rural SafeSpace, Crossroads Shelter. HERS provides a unique safe space within Haliburton County so that women and their children can move away from the abusive situation in their home, without leaving their support systems, jobs and schools, families and friends behind.

Local REALTORS® believe that private property rig

Local REALTORS® believe that private property rights are fundamental to our free-market economic system.

REALTORS® recognize and protect the right to own property. A strong economy depends upon preserving the right to freely own, use and transfer real property. Our advocacy work reflects this principle and guides how we serve our communities.

For members of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®, our work is about more than buying and selling.

The pandemic has made many of the most vulnerable

The pandemic has made many of the most vulnerable in our communities even more at risk. This week is #REALTORSCareWeek and in response to the pandemic, this year's focus is homelessness.

The Lakelands Association of REALTORS® is continuing its tradition of supporting local shelter-based charities, including Esprit Place Family Resource Centre.

Esprit Place Family Resource Centre offers emergency shelter and assistance for women and children in the District of Parry Sound who find themselves in crisis. Priority is given to women leaving abusive situations. Their staff provides supportive counselling and information to assist women in changing their lives and the lives of their children. All services and programs are voluntary, free of charge, and confidential.

Learn more about them on their website: https://www.espritplace.ca/
