Winnipeg, MB (September 5, 2017) – Longtime owner of CENTURY 21 Advanced Realty Dennis Lozinski is pleased to welcome James Mariano and Geoff and Regan Archambault as co-owners of the franchise. He says they all offer different strengths which makes them a very strong team.

 

“I am excited to have some new people and perspectives running the franchise with me,” says Lozinski. “I had been looking for the right transition for some time and planted the seed with my new co-owners a while ago. As it turned out, things timed out perfectly for the change that took effect September 1.”

 

James Mariano has been in the real estate industry for 10 years. He ran a successful team, obtained his broker’s license two years ago and becoming a co-owner of a franchise was the natural next step for his career. “I have a passion for technology and the new tools can help agents in a successful career. I look forward to bringing that expertise to my new team.”

 

Geoff Archambault has known Losinski for 25 years and they’ve worked together at CENTURY 21 Advanced Realty for the past 16. The two had discussed a partnership in the past, and the time seemed right to make it happen this year. Along with his wife, Regan, the Archambault’s bring market expertise and a long-standing commitment to being involved in the community. “That’s something we know will continue. CENTURY 21 Advanced Realty has history of supporting Easter Seals and several other local and national charities. We feel strongly that it is an important part of our business.”

 

“Succession planning and a focus on Generation X and Millennials continues to be a priority for the brand, and we are excited to welcome Geoff, Regan and James to the ownership group,” says Brian Rushton, Executive Vice-President of Century 21 Canada.

 

Together, the new team has decided their priority is to have a great environment for sales representatives to thrive and office culture where every team member feels as though they are contributing to company goals.

About CENTURY 21 Advanced Realty

 

CENTURY 21 Advanced Realty has served the local market for 16 years, providing home buyers and sellers with industry leading insights, marketing, and exposure for their properties. The company is also an active member of the community, contributing to a number of local and national charities, including Easter Seals. They currently have 46 agents in three offices.

If your water heater is more than 10 years old, you should start thinking about your options and what type of replacement is best suited for your needs. Doing at least a little light research now means that you won’t frantically gather information when the old one fails on a Friday night at 10pm during a snowstorm! Because this is something that you’ll use daily for the next 10-15 years, you’ll want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck.

First a few facts:

• Water heaters are the 2^nd highest energy user in the home—about 19% of your energy bill.
• Canadians use an average of 75 Litres of hot water each at home every day—for washing dishes and clothing, cleaning and showering or bathing.
• The most common types of water heater sold in Canada are storage tank units.  ENERGY STAR certified gas-storage water heaters use up to 14% less energy than conventional units.

Knowing those statistics, you may want to consider a tankless water heater. They heat flowing water only when required, and essentially provide endless hot water.  Tankless units also use 30% less energy than conventional storage type units. When considering this change, understand that they are a bit more expensive than standard ones, but they do come at a variety of price points.

Heat pump water heater (HPWH) technology does not generate heat directly. It moves heat from one place to another. Heat is taken from the air in the basement or utility room (or sometimes from outside) and transferred to a tank of water.  An ENERGY STAR certified heat pump water heater uses up to 50% less energy, on average, than a standard electrical water heater.

Both of those are good options, but if you’re really looking to save some money in your utility bills, a solar water heater is the way to go. They use a remarkable 60% less energy, on average, than a standard model. In Canada, a SDHW system can provide up to 60 percent of the hot water for an average home, depending on local climate and typical hot water use.

Your water heater is an underappreciated workhorse in your home. You will thank yourself for figuring out the best option for your home before your current one breaks down.

Weekend DIY projects typically cost money. Plus, they often cost more than you think because, if you’re new to DIY, you make mistakes and then have to fix them! And while you’d probably love to go buy all the latest energy saving appliances, that’s often not in the budget. Even still, there are small things you can do for little-no cost that will soon be putting money back in your pocket.

Change your furnace filter- This needs to be done a few times each year. But for about $50, you can extend furnace life, reduce energy bills and improve indoor air quality.

Insulate the small things- If you walk by your electrical outlets and feel the breeze from outside, you have a problem. Fortunately, it’s a cheap fix and your local hardware store will have foam gaskets for your switches and outlets.

Replace seals and weather strips- These don’t get much attention until you realize you have a problem. Caulking gaps and sealing windows keeps the cold air out and makes your home feel less drafty.

Lower your water heater thermostat- You probably rarely use the hottest water coming out of your tap. By lowering the max temperature on the water heater, you’ll save money and not even realize it. You can also insulate your water heater with a wrap to ensure no unneeded heat escapes. The optimal water temperature from your faucet is 49C and it might take a bit of trial and error to adjust on your water heater. If your tank-style water heater is powered by electricity, adjust the temperature to 60C on the water heater to keep your water safe. For other kinds of water heaters, you can adjust lower.  

Beware of phantom power- This comes up on energy saving lists all the time, and it’s really effective. If you have a rec room that doesn’t get used much during the week, consider a power bar to make sure you’re not paying for those little red lights that show your electronics are plugged in.

Replace burned out bulbs with LED lights- These use up to 90% less energy and last at least 15 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The price tag may be a deterrent to start, but they’ll more than pay for themselves over the life of the bulb.

None of these tasks cost much, if any, money. When they’re finished, they’ll save money for many utility bills to come.

Most of us spend too much time with our eyes on screens and, more often than not, we’re not being productive. But cell phones are aimed to make our lives easier and improve the mundane aspects of day to day challenges. On that note, there are a number of items that are coming to the market to make your home work smarter, and your utility bills smaller.

Heating: As we get into the cooler months, big heating bills are inevitable. In fact, it will make up almost two-thirds of your home energy use. A smart thermostat will save at least 8% of that energy use. When choosing one, decide how many features you really want. All the bells and whistles are useless if you simply want to be able to monitor your home temperature when you’re away. But, it might be worth a larger financial investment if you want a thermostat that will integrate with a series of other smart home features. The Nest and Ecobee typically rank highest in consumer tests.

Cooling: During summer months, cooling a home can also be costly. An ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioner uses 9% less energy than regular AC units. Some models offer Wi-Fi enabled smart functionality, like the thermostats mentioned earlier. The same rules apply: buy the features you need and understand that bigger does not always provide better cooling. Also, pay close attention to how you seal your unit. Proper sealing and insulation will maximize your savings.

Lighting: Not all energy saving efforts have to be a big investment at the beginning. Programmable light switches have been around for decades and are useful when you want to have the lights on while on vacation. But they can also allow you to make sure the lights will be on when you get home, without having to leave them on all day. Newer to the market is technology that allows you to control your lightbulbs from your phone! Phillips Hue is considered to be the market leader in this space, and they have a wide variety of tools to fit your needs.

Home security: This smart product won’t save you any money, but it’s really cool. Imagine walking up to your front door with your arms full of groceries, and instead of fumbling for your keys, your door unlocks automatically. It’s possible with a smart electronic dead bolt. It’s connected to the bluetooth in your phone and unlocks your home when you’re in range. Plus, if you ever wonder whether you’ve remembered to lock the door, you can always check your phone for the answer.

Smart technology can make life easier in all sorts of ways, including those you didn’t even know you needed. Many require the initial investment, but you’ll soon be reaping the rewards—both financial and convenience.

Toronto, ONTARIO (July 15, 2017) – CENTURY 21 Leading Edge Realty is now open in Lindsay, Ontario. This marks the 17^th location for the franchise, with all of them located in the Greater Toronto Area.

 

“Earlier this year, another brokerage in the area shut down. Agents contacted us and told us they wanted to work with the CENTURY 21 brand, so it made sense to open the new office,” says Gary Plummer, manager of CENTURY 21 Leading Edge Realty Inc.

 

The office already has six sales representatives and plans to continue to grow in the area. The team at Leading Edge Realty Inc. credits its reputation as a place for exemplary training and technology as the reason behind the latest success.

Lethbridge, AB (July 17, 2017) – CENTURY 21 Foothills South is under new ownership in Lethbridge, AB after slightly changing its name from CENTURY 21 Foothills. As part of his succession planning, former owner Blair Gordon will continue as broker of record, although the Lethbridge location is now owned by Kyle Lebeau.

 

“Blair and I started discussing this transition about a year ago,” says Lebeau. “I’ve been an agent for the past seven years and Blair’s mentorship has helped me realize that this is an excellent next step in my career.”

 

Gordon agrees. “I’ve been in the real estate business for a long time. With nine offices in Southern Alberta, it was time to scale things back a bit. I look forward to helping Kyle as a Broker through the transition as he takes over full ownership.”

 

In his time with CENTURY 21 Foothills, Kyle has already built a team, recruited employees and hired a strong support staff. Over the past 5 years they’ve increased sales production, despite a soft market.

 

“I’m excited to get started,” he says. “Last year we launched a property management service out of our office as well, and I expect that will become a niche for us for commercial and multi-family properties. Our sales reps are engaged and I look forward to helping them grow their own sales.”

 

The rest of the year looks promising as well. Gordon is celebrating his 40-year anniversary in the real estate business, by moving the High River location into a building with quite a history.

The history

Six years ago, the sellers took the house down to the studs for a total renovation, thinking they’d stay for many years. But when the husband sold his company and was invited to work in Florida, they decided to list and move south.

The fate

The buyers, a couple from Montreal with two children, moved in last month. One of the biggest selling points was being across from Forest Hill P.S.

The sale

The sellers listed at $3.995 million, but the market had already started to cool, and buyers weren’t having it. After almost a month, there was one offer, for $445,000 under asking. Keen to get the sale over with, the sellers decided to accept.

By the Numbers

• $3,550,000
• $13,298.52 in taxes (2016)
• 2,000 square feet
• 28 days on MLS
• 4 bedrooms
• 4 bathrooms

For decades, the 125-year-old building at the corner of Queen and Broadview was home to Jilly’s, the seediest strip club in the city. After the premises were vacated in 2014, Streetcar Developments bought the building and gave it a $25-million, three-year makeover, with 58 designer rooms, a new bar and a glorious rooftop patio.

Here’s a view of the hotel lobby. DesignAgency led the renovation, and they retained as many of the original brass accents as possible.

 

Construction workers scraped away all the layers of wallpaper and discovered the original pattern from the 1890s, which designers replicated and used in the light-filled bar and café adjacent to the lobby.

 

The hotel’s formal restaurant is still under construction, but the bar and café area offers breakfast, lunch fare and full beverage service.

 

Rooms start at $309 a night and max out at $799. There’s a record player in each one, and a small selection of vinyl albums selected by the hotel’s east-end neighbour Tiny Record Shop.

 

Here’s what the bathrooms look like. Toiletries were sourced from another east-end company, Graydon Skincare. 

 

The event-rental space on the second floor includes this outdoor patio. Before the building was Jilly’s, it was was a hotel; during the recent renovation, the neon sign was refurbished and reinstalled up here. Dan Raljic, who also created the undulating pink chandelier in the downstairs bar-café, worked on restoring the sign, which was originally fashioned by his father.

 

The seating area on the top floor features one of the biggest skylights in the city.

 

The windows behind the rooftop bar can swing open so staff can serve those sitting outdoors.

 

Here’s a view of the rooftop patio. The private dining room is located inside the corner tower with the “No Vacancy” sign.

 

The private dining room can seat up to 20.
