On the Blog


What can a real estate blog do for you?

Good Question. 

I must admit, I am not a creative writer. I envy those who are quick with the typing fingers, who can deliver witty one-liners and whose puns & play on words are just so damn good, I wish I could take credit for them. 

So WHY a blog, you ask?

Well, I believe there just might be some value in sharing some of my own experiences. The next time you need real estate assistance, or advice on growing your own veggies, renovating your backyard or what to look for when buying your first home, you could end up here.

These are all my adventures (along with my insanely supportive partner-in-crime) about what it's like to own your home & work towards becoming a #girlboss entrepreneur in the town I absolutely adore.

5 Reasons Why: Moving to Grimsby was the best decision I made

Posted on Aug 20, 2018

#1.  It really is the Friendliest Place.   I love doing Saturday errands in this town. By the end of the day, I’ve learned the gas attendant’s daughter is going to University, I’ve received gardening tips from the cashier at Cole’s and I’ve bonded with the barista at StationOne Coffee House over the excitement of Saturday night plans.   In fact, I don’t think I’ve encountered a mean soul in this place. The residents of Grimsby, Ontario reach out to you with big smiles on their faces. There must be something in the water here.    #2.  Luxury Lifestyle, Affordable Prices.   Forget the ridiculous housing prices of a bigger, crowded city. The cost of living in the small town of Grimsby means you could afford more for less.  I chose Grimsby because I knew I could get more bang for my buck on housing, entertainment & goods.#3.  Hello, Beauty!  As the gateway to one of the most picturesque regions in Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment offers a stunning landscape for the nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.  Be sure to check out Beamer Conservation Park for views of the whole city or head on down to Nellies Beach Park and toss rocks in the serene waters of Lake Ontario.    #4.  GoRail Coming Soon  As early as 2020, Metrolinx will be providing a direct route for commuters from Toronto to the Casablanca Boulevard exit allowing for easier access from the big city to the Niagara region.   The transportation boost will surely drive up the value of houses in Grimsby, making this small town a smart real estate investment in the future.   #5.  You Can Sip with Us  For me, this list is only complete when the countless wineries & distilleries in the local area get some due credit. I spend every summer biking around the vineyards in Beamsville, Grimsby & Stoney Creek and I still have more to discover.   For now, I can highlight my favorite one to visit - Rosewood Estates Winey, award-winning for their wine-making and meadery. That’s right, you heard it. Rosewood Estates makes their own honey…. which is delicious on its own or even more incredible when its infused in one of their stunning grape varieties!  If you’re a fan of whisky, then you’re in luck. Right off the service road is Forty Creek Whisky, a distillery establishing itself as a leading crafter of world-class spirits, named after the Forty Mile Creek running through the centre of the town.

This list could include so much more. It is not exhaustive by any means. Moving to Grimsby, Ontario means you’ll get the chance to explore the town yourself. It is my home and I am sure proud to live here.
