Nobody Knows the Neighbourhood  Like a Neighbour!!

Do you know of someone who would like to make a move or purchase property??  I would greatly appreciate your referral!  Please pass along my name and contact info, or give me the contact information so that I may personally contact them.

I know that most of you LOVE your home and this neighbourhood and are not going to move anytime soon.  However, you may know of someone who could use professional, excellent service.  I would greatly appreciate you passing along my name.

A colleague at my office is working with well qualified buyers.

One couple wants to locate to the Chrisdon Road area.  If you own a home on Chrisdon and are thinking of making a move, please call me.

The other couple would like to live in Headon Forest and want to have a POOL.  If your home has a pool and you are thinking of making a move – please call me.

THANKS very much for your consideration.

I know this is early, and I will post it again closer to the time.  But mark this on your calendars!!

I sure hope that you can come stop by my Open House today – Sunday March 28th at  3050 Rotary Way Unit 44.   This is a wonderful condo – a terrific REDUCED price of $279,900 with a LOW condo fee of only $92.97 a month!  Hope you can stop over and visit.  I will be there from 2pm to 4pm.

2 bedrooms, with hardwood flooring in the living and dining room.  Nice kitchen, good light and a deck to enjoy the summer evenings!  Lots of natural light!

Earth hour is Back for the 4th year!

This year, residents and businesses are being asked to turn off the lights to mark the event on Sat March 27th from 8:30 – 9:30 pm.

Earth House began in Sydney, Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off the lights for one hour.

The message grew in 2008 into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people, including Burlington residents, taking part.  Last year, more hydro users in Burlington got the Earth Hour message than the year before.

According to Burlington Hydro, the city was able to reduce its total energy consumption by 8.8%, during last year’s Earth Hour!!

SO!!  Will you participate this year and turn off the lights for one hour?

The Around The Bay Road Race, Sunday March 28th 2010, will result in the following road and traffic land closures in Burlington from approx 9:30 am to 1:00pm.  Streets will reopen in sequence as the last participant passes.

Road Closures:

• Spring Garden Road from Plains Road West to Valley Inn Road
• QEW Toronto bound exit ramp to North Shore Blvd (detour via Fairview St)
• North Shore Blvd East Niagara bound entry ramp to the QEW (detour via Fairview St)
• Plains Road West at York Blvd (detour via Hwy 6 and 403)

Traffic Lane Closures

• Southbound lane of King Road from Plains Rd East to North Shore Blvd East (local traffic only).  Northbound traffic not affected.
• Eastbound lane of North Shore Blvd East and North Shore Blvd West from Plains Rd West to the QEW exit ramp west of Joseph Brant Hospital.  Wesbound lane open to westbound traffic only.

Major interestion closures supervised by Halton or OPP with event marshals supervising side street closures.  Vehicles parked illegally in event area will be tagged or towed.

Regular Sunday Burlington Transit schedule in effect.  The Hamilton Beach Blvd / Lakeshore Rd bus will detour via the QEW and Maple Ave to the John St terminal.

The amount you put down with the purchase and sales contract is your deposit  …. you may add more funds to that to total your down payment.

The sales price minus your down payment — leaves the amount that needs to be financed (mortgaged).

The deposit may be less than the total down payment..

Hope that helps.

I’m excited about the Open House I’m doing this Sunday from 2 to 4pm. AND a price reduction to $279,900!!!! Be sure to stop by and see this spotless 2 BR condo. Hardwood floors, bath and a half, garage. Great location! See you Sunday! Ramona Strojevs, Sales Representative
