One thing that people are always keen to know is how to add value to their home. Try these exterior improvements. The post Add Value with Exterior Renovations appeared first on Andy Schildhorn, PREC.

One thing that people are always keen to know is how to add value to their home. There are nearly endless ways to do that, so in this article, I will just focus on one area: the home’s exterior.

  1. Clean up the driveway – Buyers like to see a well-maintained driveway meaning easy access to parking areas. Make sure it is well paved or tarmacked and also consider adding some decorative touches. This can include planting flowers along the edges.
  2. Add outdoor lighting – This will make sure your home doesn’t look gloomy for evening showings. It also adds security and means buyers know they won’t have to stumble around in the dark to enter.
  3. Repaint the front door – This is a big part of the visual appeal of your property. Remember to pick a colour that the majority of people will like.
  4. Do some work on the backyard – This can range from full-blown to landscape to just spending some time to tidy up beds and mow the lawn.

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .

Langley's growth may slow down as a result of changing immigration rules, but it is still expected to have more than 280,000 residents by 2051, according to recent Metro Vancouver growth estimates. The report, by the Metro Vancouver Regional District's regional planning committee, was released earlier this month and has three growth scenarios – low, medium, and high.
