Why Live In Shawnee Slopes | 1324 Shawnee Road SW

With every house that we see on the market, people always have their designated areas that they prefer to look in whether that is due to work, children's schooling, activities, lifestyle or more. Even if we don't truly know the community, we may just like it due to convenience or that particular "something". Every listing that I (Daniyal Nasiri) have, I look to answer that underlying question that may arise for you; "Why this community?". 

So lets get to it!

Shawnee Slopes

Shawnee Slopes is one of Calgary’s hidden gems, tucked away next to Fish Creek Park located in South West Calgary. It is just minutes to Macleod Trail that can grant you quick access to Deer-foot and Stoney Trail.  Shawnee Slopes has a great mix of home-styles but is known…

Why Live In Redwood Meadows? | 21 Wolf Drive

With my latest brand new listing in Alberta's Real Estate market; 21 Wolf Drive. I look to answer the age old question! Why Live here?

Redwood Meadows is a townsite in Alberta, Canada. Redwood Meadows is unique in that it is a partially independent municipality, functioning similar to an incorporated Alberta town, but is different from all other Alberta towns due to:

• its location within the Tsuu T'ina Nation 145 Indian reserve;
• the leased nature of the land on which it is developed; and
• council's shared administration of the townsite with the Tsuu T'ina Nation Council.

The Townsite of Redwood Meadows is located along Highway 22, approximately 20 km west of Calgary, 18 km south of Cochrane and 5 km northeast of Bragg Creek. It has an…

Top 5 Home Improvements

Before embarking on any kind of home renovations, it pays to know what will add the most value to your home. Here are some key home improvements that will add value to your house by improving its re-sale value:

1. Home Additions and Extensions

An addition adds more space and that brings the biggest re-sale return and adding a second story, or extending a bungalow is worth the investment. Bedrooms, living room and kitchen are the best candidates as they are the most commonly used.

Tip #1: Seriously consider whether or not you are over-renovating. Many homeowners think that the only way to increase the value of the home is to spend money on expensive remodels. Sometimes the simplest or least expensive update can give you the best return.

Exterior Home Maintenance

Exterior Home Maintenance

We understand keeping the exterior of your home maintained can be extremely time-consuming and overwhelming. However, managing your outdoor property is crucial in preserving the structure and longevity of your home.

1. Vegetation.
Trees, bushes and other plants can cause damage to your home’s siding and roof. Branches can scrape against your home, causing cracks and damage that can lead to unwelcome pests. Neglected vegetation can also trap moisture along the foundation of your home, leading to mold and mildew.

2. External Faucets.
To prevent freezing, be sure to winterize all external faucets during the coldest months of the year. Disconnect hoses, turn off the water supply and…

Real estate advice my father never gave the young me

     My father gave me lots of good advice over the years. I wish he was still around to give me more.
     The advice he never gave me that I wish he had, though, was to buy real estate. Any real estate. 
I moved out of the family home for good at 27 (kind of embarrassing back then, but not a big deal now) and spent the next nine years renting a small apartment after I moved to another city to work. It was a nice, comfortable place that I remember cost $500 a month. I'm not going to multiple 500 by 108 months but that was a lot of money spent on rent.
     At the time, where I was living I could have gotten a small detached home for well under 100,000. I could have rented out a room and proceeded to go to town on the principle of my mortgage.
     Oh well.
