Patrick O’Donnell POUNDING THE PAVEMENT - 25 HOURS A DAY! Blessed with an astigmatism, buck teeth and a disproportionately small head, it was believed by many that Patrick would be best suited to the circus; never mind a career in Real Estate. However, not long after meeting Patrick it becomes apparent that his disproportionately small head is crammed with information and his enthusiasm for life combined with his ability to make you feel instantly comfortable allows you to forgive the buck teeth and ignore the astigmatism. You will nd yourself in the company of a genuine, well-mannered gentleman. Patrick, originally from England, arrived in Canada with a stunning work habit that took him to the top of every eld entered. In 1983 he started selling Real Estate and within two years he was the #1 Agent in his area and also the #1 Realty World Agent for Alberta. Not content to just sell houses, Patrick spent many hours working for the benet of others and in 1992 was awarded the “Commemorative Medal” by the Governor General of Canada in recognition of his signicant contribution to compatriots, community and to Canada. In 2001 Patrick and his wife moved to greener pastures in West Vancouver. Now a part of the Prudential Sussex team on the North Shore, Patrick is back pounding the pavement – 25 hours a day! When asked why a person would want to buy or sell through him, Patrick pleasantly summed up his 28-year career:

“From the time I wake up in the morning I am cognizant of the fact that people will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Patrick O’Donnell Personal Real Estate Corporation Prudential Sussex West Vancouver

Exterior Renovations

Enhance Your Home GREATER VANCOUVER HOME BUILDER’S ASSOCIATION Contributor If you live in an older house, chances are you will want to update or replace cladding, doors and windows at some point. Exterior renovations can give new life to a tired home and reduce maintenance signiﬁcantly. At the same time, you can improve the energy efﬁciency, security and general comfort of your home. When you are ready to begin planning, talk with a professional renovator to get ideas and a sense of cost. Make sure it’s someone who is experienced in exterior renovations and can offer you both sound technical advice and design assistance.

A New Look

Maybe you simply want to update the appearance of your home, or perhaps you want to try for a different look. To begin with there is a vast selection of quality exterior cladding products -- bricks, wood, stucco, vinyl or composition siding in many colors, sizes and styles. Renovators sometimes “mix and match” materials to create attractive, customtailored exteriors. Replacing your doors and windows can make a big difference to the overall appearance and brightness of your home. With the huge selection of windows and doors on the market, your best bet is to consult with your renovator about things such as: • Which styles, materials, sizes and types would work best? • Can you add more windows? • Should you increase the number of windows that open and close? • Can you add a sidelight to your main doorway for a welcoming entrance?

20 Thursday, January 17, 2013

The possibilities for upgrading or adding a porch, a deck, overhangs and decorative ﬁnishing touches are almost endless. Looking at other people’s homes and browsing through magazines is a good ﬁrst step. Also, ask your renovator for suggestions. Experienced renovators can often see possibilities that you might overlook.

Security

With today’s new products, it’s much easier to secure your home. Exterior doors can be ﬁtted with dead bolts and strong locks, and windows can be installed with solid locking mechanisms. Consult with your renovator about other measures you can take, such as security grilles on basement windows. If you have been thinking about a security system, this may be the most cost-effective time to install one.

Plan For The Little Details

An exterior renovation is also your chance to add the touches that make life just a little easier. Replacing taps with frost-free hose-bibs, installing or relocating outside plugs or motion detector controlled light ﬁxtures. Take advantage of your renovator’s experience by asking for more suggestions.

Convenience and

Easy Maintenance GrEATEr VAncouVEr HoME BuILDEr’S ASSocIATIon contributor Today’s new homes are carefully designed for everyday living convenience, comfort and low maintenance. When you are planning your brand new home, take the time to consider in detail what it would be like to live in. How would it work for your daily routine? Are there things you might want to change? Discuss your needs and preferences with your builder so you can explore your options fully.

A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place

A new home is designed with today’s households and lifestyles in mind. In short, less clutter, better organization and easier access. • Plenty of room for appliances of all sizes in the kitchen, built in or easily stored out of sight • Pots and pan organizers • Spacious pantries • Drawers, cupboards and shelving in the bathroom • Ample closet space and storage for seasonal equipment

Flexibility To Customize

Most builders offer flexible options and will work closely with you to create the level of convenience in your home that will best suit your family and your lifestyle. • Laundry facilities on the second floor for convenience • Separate children’s breakfast area in the kitchen • Extra shelving in the master bedroom

22 Thursday, January 17, 2013

Less Housework

Today’s new homes are easy to keep clean. Most of the finishing products used in your home, such as hard surface flooring, countertops, cabinet doors and fixtures, can be cleaned with a quick wipe of a damp cloth and maybe a mild cleaning agent. A central vacuum system offers additional convenience and can include dustpan inlets in the most heavily used areas of your home for quick clean ups. Also, there is a wealth of new, convenient, labour saving features available, particularly for the kitchen; be sure to ask your builder for advice and suggestions.

Less Seasonal Maintenance

Regular maintenance is a normal part of homeownership but is greatly minimized in a brand new home. Inside, furnace filters are easily replaced or cleaned, while regular checking and servicing of heating and ventilation systems will ensure continuous high performance. Outside, low maintenance windows, siding and decorative finishes eliminate time consuming touch ups and repainting; occasional washing will get rid of dirt and dust. Snap together eavestroughs and downspouts can be cleaned periodically with little effort to prevent blockage and moisture problems. The result is more time to enjoy home ownership. Most homeowners enjoy working on their home, planning and tending their garden, decorating their living areas and adding special personal touches over time. Owning a new home leaves more time to experience these pleasures of homeownership. A new home offers the best of all worlds. Today, convenience and easy maintenance go hand in hand with great looks and style. A new home is a great place to live. northshoreoutlook.com
