PUTTING BACK SOME LOVE INTO YOUR HOME

BRITTNEY J.ROZENBLAT

Brittney Rozenblat, is Anita Benabou

Rozenblat’s eldest daughter. She joined

the firm after spending her formative

years watching her mother rise to the top of

every career mountain she undertook to scale.

“My mom is a role model that any young

woman would be happy to emulate,” she said.

“It has been quite inspirational, as well as

educational, watching her succeed at one task

after another. I have learned lessons that I use

every single day.”

Rozenblat had the best opportunity to emulate

her mother’s meteoric rise (while using her own

talents) in 2010, when Benabou-Rozenblat

started her own brokerage firm, Rozenblat

Realty, specializing in both residential and

commercial real estate. She was pursuing

her university studies at the time, but she fell

madly in love with the real estate business.

“Having workaholic parents, I already had a

finely honed work ethic when I started my full-

time career in the industry,” Rozenblat stated.

And while to many the prospect of working

with one of your parents sounds risqué,

Rozenblat loves the fact that her mother is

her boss “and always looks out for my best

interests.” Her mother feels just as positive

about the experience of working with her

daughter. “There is something so genuinely

life-affirming and exciting about being able

to share my work-day with my progeny,” said

Benabou-Rozenblat. “Most people have no

idea what their parents go through to fulfill

their career requirements. But Brittney

knows... and we appreciate and understand

one another even more this way.”

Having daughter working with mother is

not, however, a free pass. Rozenblat is in

charge of the Residential Sales and Special

Projects dossiers, a very lofty responsibility.

The corporate decision to make Florida part

of their sales turf has really given Brittney

Rozenblat the opportunity to shine. During her

research, she quickly realized that Canadians

were not investing in just one Florida-based

property, but that many investors were buying

bundles of land. “Many people are buying

one condo for themselves and another two

or three as investment properties. So, we are

able to capitalize on this, as a very opportune

time. I am pleased that I am able to not only

contribute, but to be a major player in my

mom’s business.”

1.Welcome the Buyer at Entry: Simple touches of a new clean doormat, maybe a fresh coat of paint (if needed to front door), polishing door handles, potted flowers by your door , add new LED bulbs in the exterior, sweeping or shovelling the exterior for better view and safety.2. Get rid of it: Eliminate the excess that has accumulated, place in storage, have a garage sale or donate to people in need. Your buyers needs to visualize themselves as if they were living there. Please leave some personality so it does not look like generic room as people often purchase into a lifestyle as much as property. Show them the attractive side of your lifestyle but not the excess.3. Spare the Odors: If there is a smell, generally the house will not sell. Don’t just cover them up; fix the source of the smell. Clear drains, air kitchen of old cooking smells, air the basement out, place a dehumidifier in necessary, deodorize the cat litter and scoop litter daily, get rid of furniture embedded with smoke. Also be careful of room sprays, many have allergies and are weary of cover ups. Light a candle or boil some cinnamon sticks.4. Give me some space: Make sure all doors, cabinets and drawers open all the way without bumping into anything or sticking. Clean out entry closet. Move oversized furniture out. Clean counter tops. Store away extra appliances, put away dish racks and other clutter including refrigerator magnets. Get rid of some of your personal pictures. I›ve seen sellers place over 30 photos on 1 small coffee table, that’s a no no!5. Fresh lick of color: Giving your walls a touch up with neutral colors will make your home seem lighter and bigger and quite inviting. Never underestimate the power of paint. In addition, pillows, fresh shower curtain, hung clean towels and flowers inject color and vibrancy. Sometimes all it takes to spruce a room is a unique accessory or art. Don’t forget don’t over clutter your walls with personal photos. 6. Show me off: Nice Hardwood floors under that older carpet? Old cabinet hardware, doorknobs, towel racks and faucet? Exchanging them for polished bronze or nickel can give an entire house an up-to date look. 7. Fix it, clean it: Make minor repairs as necessary, cut back the bushes, repair that unsightly hole in the hallway, place back the switch plate cover you took off years ago (these are cheap…nice to update all so they match) and while you›re at it, put back that kitchen detector (wires are unsightly) and clean everything until it sparkles. Repair the tile grout, wax wooden floors. Let your home shine and Sparkle. 8. Give me light: Simplest of ideas: replace broken bulbs, increase to proper wattage, place lamps in areas that are dark (including the basement); clean windows and pull pack the curtains. Making the house light and airy makes the rooms feel bigger and more attractive.

Repossessed and Sold As Is With Legal Warranty Although they can be bargains at times, some repossessed or As Is properties may come with a number of issues.They say that every cloud has a silver lining, and there are plenty of people trying to find one in the current housing market.Many buyers are searching for deals or steals."We get people coming into our office asking for our list of repossessed property," says Jacob J. Strich. "There is a perception that you are getting a great deal." But not all repossessed or As Is properties are a steal, and some people find the idea of buying them upsetting. A bank or a private lender that repossesses a home has a legal obligation to be paid as much as possible for the property, so you may find them less willing to take a discount on the asking price than a family who are desperate to move for personal reasons.However, "As an investment, repossessed homes can offer significant rewards so long as there is equity left in the property, and the sooner you sell it the better," Jacob explains. If your buying or selling your home and wish to sell it without any legal warranty. Your real estate broker has a duty to inform you as the seller or the buyer of the consequences of waiving the warranty of quality. (OCAIQ Article 122129)For example, a seller who wishes to sell an immovable without a warranty of quality must know.That this information must appear on the description sheet and that, depending on the market at the time, this could reduce the level of interest on the part of prospective buyers.That the warranty waiver may have an impact on the selling price and that it will not protect him from a lawsuit for defects of which he was aware and should have declared. Such buyers must also be told that they should have the property inspected in greater depth than the inspection usually done on a property sold with a warranty of quality.Should you wish more information on this clause, e-mail me at [email protected]

Empty Nester AdviceWhen your kids are finally grown and out of the house, your first instinct may be to downsize to a smaller home. Selling your family home and moving into a condo or smaller home can make things more manageable and help you adjust to an empty nest lifestyle. Before you make any major life changes, discuss and consider your long-term plans and the type of living arrangements that will benefit both you and your spouse down the road.

DownsizingIf you've raised your family in a large home with a big backyard, you may feel like you’re “rattling around” in a space that’s too large once your kids are gone. The upkeep on a big home between taxes and heating costs can also become more difficult as you age. You may also eventually have a hard time navigating stairs and maintaining the home. Consider downsizing your home being positive. By selling your home and moving to smaller accommodations while you’re still young and physically fit puts you in a perfect and position situation. Sale PreparationSelling your house as an empty nester gives you an opportunity to roll up your sleeves and clean out years and years of accumulated clutter and give all your children mementos from their early years to finally store in their own homes and garages. Remember, your home is not storage. I see this too often.

Wise Thought From a Previous Seller''Often the downsizing is not always about saving money, it's about improving our quality of life. It is now our turn to explore and cherish new adventures.Let go of your fears and move on to a new beautiful chapter in your life !

Sandra Bohbot-Mellul originally hails from Israel and has had a very successful real estate career. Since obtaining her

B. Sc. in Industrial Relations and her law degree (LL.B.), she has honed her organized, detail-oriented sales approach, as well as her contract development and negotiation

skills. She has a passion for design and architecture, interior decorating and a general lifelong interest in property. “In choosing to work in the real estate field, I have been able to incorporate my degrees and passions into one career. How many people can make that claim?” she asked. Sandra thrives on the action and, therefore, excels in the face of stress. “On the business side of real estate, I am accustomed to working in a fast-paced, high stress environment, where I communicate clearly and listen attentively,” she said. “I possess excellent research ability and I always give honest advice and utilize a proactive approach.” How does Sandra see the field evolving? “The appearance and popularity of the Internet, as well as home renovation and DIY shows, has resulted in both buyers and sellers being more knowledgeable. Brokers have to have a wealth of knowledge to assure clients of the best possible results.

“Social media has taught us to tailor our proprietary offline and online ‘marketing systems’ into devices that help clients package, promote, and sell their properties more efficiently, as well as for top dollar. And more than ever before, customer service is the key to any successful real estate transaction. Finally, we are lucky to live in a city such as Montreal that is diversified yet financially stable. Our quality of life here is difficult to beat.” Sandra’s association with Rozenblat Realty gives the brokerage firm an excellent customer service professional, as she provides a “concierge-style”resource that her clients can rely on long after the initial sale. Sandra is proof positive that honest advice and integrity makes one an essential business partner.

one-of-a-kind artist STANLEY SKLAR

Art is life. Capturing and translating visual images has been Stanley Sklar's calling.

His newest art form has been three dimensional sculptures of homes and institutions reflecting the architecture of Montreal. These buildings, through meticulous attention to detail, tell stories of past and present lives. They may either be showcased on walls or freestanding.

Stanley Sklar's unique passion and love for his creations is evident in each and every piece. From the oldest synagogue on Bagg Street, to the winding outside staircase in Outremont, to wraparound porches in Montreal West, all bear his signature and his unique style.

Sklar studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) in New York, and at Ecole Contoir Caponi in Montreal. He then pursued his studies in Fine Arts at Ecole Des Beaux Arts. He taught the art of draping at Montreal's Sadie Bronfman Centre.

Most of Sklar's life has been spent in the fashion industry. His talents had already been recognized at that time, as he was as one of the top Canadian dress and evening wear designers. He received the Dupont Award, presented to him by Pierre Balmain. His fashions garnered an international market following.

Sklar has, however, been a student as well as a teacher. His keen eye for detail and precision has brought him to this new form of artistic expression. His art may be purchased or commissioned to capture everlasting memories of your home to be shared for generations. Also, if you ever find yourself in South

Beach, Florida, looking longingly at the many Art-Decostyled mansions there, there is a good chance that Sklar has created stunning artistic representations of them, to benefit the long-lasting memories of bubbies, zaydes and grandchildren, whose thoughts long for the whimsy of eras long-gone, who can subsequently recapture them though Sklar’s artful talents. No small accomplishment, to impact people in that manner.

WHO SAID MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS!

ASingle Middle Eastern Royalty recently purchased the most expensive condo for a cool $25 million. The individual later added an additional sub-penthouse unit, then a second sub-penthouse unit, and then finally a third sub-penthouse unit upping the combined price to $55 million over the building’s top three floors. This makes it the biggest real estate deal in Canadian history. The total combined space is 15,000 square

feet. Why does he need so much space? The location is spectacular, with breathtaking views, space and unparalleled luxury. The Buyer also reportedly paid the full $55 million in cash. And if you’re wondering what the commission was for the real estate broker managing this luxurious properties, based on industry rates. It would probably exceed $2 million including applicable taxes. Not too shabby !
