Condo Scene: The condo conundrum
How to know if you’re ready for the big move

Condo Scene: Vvvaroom with a view — car condos make space for your vehicle
One of the downsides to condo living can be the lack of a private garage. Many prospective buyers think twice before purchasing a new condo because they have no idea what to do with their cars and garage stuff.

Condo scene: Getting the scoop on pets
I must admit that I love watching reality TV real estate shows. Not long ago, I was watching an episode of one of my favourites, Selling New York, in which an agent was scouring the city for two clients — a man and his pet reptile.

Romanticize your condo with the five senses
At the end of a long work day, we all want to come home to a relaxing atmosphere far removed from the day’s stresses. What’s really needed is a few hours at a retreat and, fortunately, you can turn your condo into just such a place. It’s as simple as accessorizing. All you have to do is focus on tantalizing the five senses.

Condo Scene: Coming into the closet; does size matter?
I was sitting at a party next to a friend when she glanced down and noticed that her husband’s pants were from another suit and did not match.

Condo scene: How smart is your condo?
Of course you didn’t choose your condo solely for its looks — you also wanted some smarts to enrich your relationship. Perhaps you think of condo intelligence as starting with main entrance security, increasing with parking security and culminating in unit security. If so, you, like many others, would be underestimating the potential intelligence of the younger generation of condos.

Banish the onions
and tempt the eyes, nose and tastebuds
when selling your home
Dale Carnegie, North America's original

extolling the virtues of first impressions
and getting it right from the get-go.
This philosophy applies to our human
interactions and it's also key in our

and even more importantly, when selling
and hoping for a speedy sale.
