It's been way too long since my last post, but what I have for you today truly is worth looking at.  This One of a Kind home is located in one of Barrie's premier neighborhoods.  At first glance it looks like many others in this upscale area, but once you enter you will see the amazing interior. ...

Warm End-of-November Greetings to All! This is the most exciting time of year for me, not because Christmas is coming, not at all!

I came across this website recently and was struck by the simplicity of the idea, and the reasons behind it. It's called Tree of Wishes. A wish support community where people can express their hopes and wishes in their time of need. The site provides a safe, non-judgmental environment for anyone ...

Recently I got an e-mail from a Realtor in London, Ontario. He was asking about my website. He found my site (www.selling-barrie-homes.com) in the article he read in the latest issue of Real Estate Magazine (REM). I read that magazine religiously, but at the time, I didn't look at it yet and so I...
