Creating quiet in a (sometimes) noisy home
Does your spouse like to practice the drums in the evening? Does your teenager like to play video games, with the volume turned up high? Are there other sources of noise you'd like to minimize?
There are many ways to soundproof areas of your home to reduce noise. Here are some ideas:
Furniture placement. Surprisingly, where you place furniture can dramatically reduce incoming noise. For example, a bookshelf covering a third of a wall can muffle sound from an adjoining room by 25%.
Noise harmonization techniques. Soft music, air fans, and other sources of rhythmic noises can actually reduce the unpleasantness of incoming sounds.
Area rugs. Adding an area rug, even on top of existing carpeting, can significantly reduce noise coming from the floor below.
Acoustic tiles and panels. These are special ceiling tiles and wall coverings that are designed to diffuse and reduce sound infiltration. There are some products on the market that are remarkably easy to install.
Pack your memories away
Items that remind us of special people, events, milestones and interests are an important part of what makes a home a home. Pictures on the fireplace mantle, for example, showcase family and friends that are important to us. You might also have trophies, certificates, greeting cards, and other mementoes on display in key places.
Of course, all of those things add warmth and meaning to your home.
However, if you're preparing your home for sale, it's a good idea to pack those memories away - at least until you've sold your property and moved to your new home.
Why? Because those pleasant mementoes that mean so much to you may actually turn off potential buyers.
You see, when buyers view your property, you want them to be able to clearly picture themselves and their families living there. That's difficult to do if everywhere they look they see reminders that this is your home!
So, to help sell your home quickly, make it look great, but not personalized. Think of the showroom displays you see set up in furniture stores. Those displays are most appealing when they enable you to easily picture yourself, with that furniture, in your home. You probably wouldn't feel that way if it looked like the furniture belonged to someone else.
Of course, buyers will know you currently live in your home. But helping them imagine themselves living there will help you sell your property faster – and possibly for a better price.

This is thLast year close to 20,000 people rode their bikes to work. Looks like that number will be similar again this week. It started on the 26th and runs until Sunday. A great initiative to get people active. Great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the scenery all while getting some exercise too!
I wish we could ride our bikes in my industry...but I don't think my clients want to double on my bike as we see homes throughout the city. :)
Although it does make for a funny mental picture, so much so I had to include a photo I found for Japanese doubling. :)

Hiring The Right Moving Company...
How do you select the best moving company for your needs?
• Ask for recommendations from friends or other professionals in the local real estate industry.
• Beware of fly-by-night operations. They may seem like a bargain, but you get what you pay for.
• Does the company provide you with a written estimate and contract? (Beware of movers that just give you a price over the phone.)
• Ask if they are covered by insurance, and what their policy is regarding lost or broken items. Make sure you receive a copy of their insurance certificate.
Finally, always ask what circumstances would result in extra charges being applied. The number one complaint received about movers by the Better Business Bureau is unexpected extra charges.

The Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair would not be complete without the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade.
HomeLife wouldn't miss being a part of the parade and once again will be handing out candy to the crowd as our office marches in tomorrow's parade. Most years Kara and I take part in the parade, but unfortunately this year neither of us will make it. Which is why we made sure we still did our part for the Cloverdale Rodeo by handing out chilli in the 17th annual Chilli Cook Off this evening. Already the Cloverdale Reporter posted the above shot from our fun filled evening. Of course, our chilli was the best.
The parade starts at 10:00am tomorrow Saturday May 17th. Be sure to get there early to get a good seat for the kids as the streets fill up fast.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rachael or any one from the Balance Real estate group for any of your real estate needs . Thank you all for making the sell of our home and the buying of our new home a seamless success"
"We had a great experience with Balance selling a Burnaby home. Zach was great to work with, honest, attentive to details, and worked to get the best deal possible. The home was staged well and the drone video was terrific."
"My wife and I had the good fortune of working with Rachel. She was amazing throughout the entire process, working hard to find us exactly what we were looking for! Rachel was calm, organized, and happy to answer any questions we had along the way. Would highly recommend!"
"Balance Real Estate Group Testimony Trust…the foundation of all good relationships. Real estate transactions can be scary. We were so fortunate to work with Bettina and her team at Balance Real Estate Group. They listened to our needs, provided professional insight and then worked with us to develop the plan. We trusted them to look after us and they did an amazing job!!! Thank you Bettina, Kara, Zach, Rachael, Loveleen and Marianne. Your hard work, attention to detail and reassuring approach was greatly appreciated!!! "
"We bought our first home using the Balance Real Estate Group (Kara) back in January 2021 when the market was very competitive. Kara was so helpful and supportive throughout the very stressful process and we were successful in purchasing our home. Fast forward a few years (2023) and we decided to move to another city, so we chose Balance Real Estate Group (Bettina) to help sell our home. Bettina choose the right strategy for selling our home, which brought in multiple offers, resulting in an over-asking accepted offer. When selling, the whole Team came out to stage, assist with pictures, record the video, and so much more. It felt like they were a part of our family! I would highly recommend the Balance Real Estate Group for buying and selling, as they excel at both."
"When I was looking for my first home in 2022 I contacted Balance Real Estate Group and enlisted the help of Rachel and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is really knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure I found a place I would be happy with. I would definitely enlist her help in the future if I am in the market to buy/sell in the future and recommend her 100%."
"A superbly professional and caring real estate team. The Balance Group staged and marketed our place to look its best, which generated an astonishing level of interest in our property. They provided expert advice all along the way. This resulted in a sales process that exceeded our expectations and was deeply satisfying to all parties involved. Highly recommend."
"Zach from Balance Real Estate Group sold our moms town home in Surrey in September, closing in November. He was very patient with a senior widow, going into great lengths to explain the selling process and listed out all the possible expenses related to a sale with a specific sale price in mind. As we didn't live in Surrey we could rely and trust Zach for the information he provided. With a couple of offers going sideways, Zach provided continue encouragement and worked hard to find a new buyer. The logistics around the actual sale were challenging but Zach worked hard to make it all happen. He remained in contact with both our mom and us to make sure we all had the needed information. Thank you Zach, we really appreciated your hard work. My mom in law will highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell."
"Bettina and her team undoubtedly made one of the hardest times in my life immeasurably easier by helping me with my Dad's estate. They are very kind, knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate realtors who went above and beyond to help keep my stress at ease. Having never bought or sold a home before, they made the process clear and easy to understand, especially when we navigated unexpected hurdles. I highly recommend using Balance Real Estate Group for selling or buying your next home!"
