With the Spring market about to heat up, and prognosticators saying this year will be every bit as hot as 2015, it might be a good idea to pre-plan how to make your real estate offer stand out in the unfortunate case that you find yourself in a competition for the property of your dreams.

1. PRE-APPROVAL.Ive written about this before. Its essential to include proof that you have been pre-approved for a mortgage and not just pre-qualified. Pre-qualified is far less guaranteed of a loan than pre-approved. This assumes, since most of us dont have heaps of money lying around, that you need financing. If you can pay cash that would be your absolute best chance of securing the winning bid.

2. GOOD DEPOSIT.The deposit, sometimes known as earnest money helps to show the sellers how serious you are. If you can pull together a decent deposit, it will make a favourable impression compared to those who offer to put down the minimum.

3. FLEXIBLE CLOSING.If you are able to cater to the sellers wishes when it comes to closing date, offer to do so. Most sellers are unable to buy before they sell, so they face incredible pressure to find a suitable home in a short period of time. Extending closing to 90 or 120 days will alleviate a bit of the pressure for them to find a new home and get their belongings packed up and moved.

4. CLEAN OFFER.Omit as many conditions as possible. The sellers will want to accept an offer with the greatest chances of a successful outcome. They dont want to have to put the property back on the market. If youre in a competition, the fewer conditions the better. My only caveat to this is that you should always include a home inspection. Make it quick though - no two-week long timeframe for the home inspection condition.

5. MAKE IT PERSONAL.For some sellers, moving is an emotional experience and visualizing the right people living in their house helps to ease the transition. What is the right people you ask? Who knows? Everyone is different. Once I heard of an offer being rejected because the couple buying werent married and the couple selling had a strong opinion about being married. They are entitled to their opinion.

To avoid potentially revealing that you are not the right people, dont talk about yourself. I suggest you write a letter focusing on what you love about the house and the neighbourhood and why you want to live there.

Your REALTOR should have already called the listing agent to try to find out if the sellers have any hot buttons that you can use to your advantage. If not, ask your REALTOR to make that phone call so you can put together the most attractive offer from the standpoint of the sellers.

MAGICAL PERU WITH THE WINE LADIES

We were thrilled to recently travel to Peru and shoot an episode of The Wine Ladies TV, our reality show about our adventures in wine, food and travel! We explored the gastronomy of Peru, restaurants, wineries, the fishing, travel to Machu Picchu, the history, making and enjoyment of Perus signature drink Pisco, gold, Peruvian alpaca, cotton and general points of interest.

Where there is a drink, there is food, and Peru is widely known as the gastronomic capital of the Americas by many a chef around the world. Each and every meal was a celebration of freshness and of fusion. Perus cuisine is a blend of several cultures that speak to its history. From the traditional cuisine of the Indians, to that of the Spanish conquerors, the influx of Japanese and Chinese. And with the diversity of the landscape from the coastal region with a selection of over 2,000 fish to choose from, and the Andean highlands the purple, red, yellow chocla corn, with 3,000 kinds of potatoes the possibilities are endless!

01


Our adventures were not restricted to our dietary pleasures alone as there were numerous moments of paticipAction as well! Riding the Paso horses for example at the stunning traditional yet extremely innovative Bodegas Carevedo founded in 1884. Following our delicate dismount we learn from the passionate and charismatic co-owner and master distiller Johnny Schuler of the history and breeding of these particular horses, and how they related to the history of Pisco.

TRULY A WORLD OFHIDDEN TREASURES!At Bodegas El Sarcay, another award-winning Pisco producer, hawks are trained here to keep the smaller birds at bay and away from the vineyards. We are hypnotized by the majesty of the hawks and the gloriously bedazzling eagles as they fly to our extended arms piece of meat in hand.

Finally, Machu Picchu. One of the wonders of the world. Arresting, transformational and powerful with take-your-breath-away beauty. Truly no words can adequately describe how you feel standing in the immense presence of what is Machu Picchu! An ancient civilization, a city in the sky, a wonder of the world!

WINE WILL BE SOLD IN GROCERY STORES THIS FALL: KATHLEEN WYNNEWine will be sold in up to 150 grocery stores in Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne announced February 18, ending the LCBOs monopoly on domestic and imported labels.

Under the plan, 70 grocery stores province-wide will be able to start selling wine, beer and cider this fall.

Finally, people in Ontario will be able to buy their wine and groceries at the same place, at the same time, at the same checkout, said Wynne, adding its a win-win-win scenario.

The price of the same beer and wine product will be identical across all retail outlets.

In addition, up to 150 existing wine retail shops, typically located next to grocery stores, will be able to move in and offer an expanded selection.

Spirits, though, remain under LCBO control.

The provincial government accepted final recommendations from privatization guru Ed Clark, whose portfolio includes selling Hydro One, and making beer available to consumers in grocery stores last December.

A bidding process is taking place for wine sales.

THEFLUFFIESTPANCAKE of ALL TIME

D I R E C T I O N SStir together pancake mix and water until combined but still slightly lumpy. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set both aside.

Preheat 10 inch (25 cm) nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup (125 mL) batter into pan; quickly spread into 7 to 7 inch (18 to 19 cm) pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles appear on top and bottom is golden. Turn only once and continue cooking until second side is done. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter to make total of 7 pancakes. Let cool, about 15 minutes.

Whip cream in chilled bowl with icing sugar and vanilla.

Place one pancake on serving platter; spread with 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the skyr. Repeat layers until all pancakes and skyr are used. Spoon whipped cream on top; spread, leaving 1 inch (2.5 cm) border bare. Top with berries. If desired, garnish with mint. Cut into 8 slices; serve drizzled with maple syrup.

CHEF TOM'S TIP: If the cake is going to sit for bit, the skyr on top of the cake can dry out where it peeks out from under the whipped cream; you can prevent it by leaving a 1-inch border bare when you spread the skyr on the top pancake, so the whipped cream will completely cover it.

Looking to expand your culinary cuisine and try something new? This stacked pancake cake is a simple twist on the classic French dessert, Mille-Crepe Cake.

A traditional mille-crepe cake consists of 20 layers of paper thin crepes, each separated with a dollop of French pastry cream, says Tom Filippou, executive chef for President's Choice. In this lightened up version, we've used an easy pancake mix, filled it with low-fat skyr and topped it with sweetened whipped cream for a touch of indulgence.

It's a PERFECT DISHfor Brunch or Dessert.

GORDON GRAYDON MEMORIALS E C O N DA R Y S C H O O L

March has been another exciting month at Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School. Students have settled into their Semester Two classes. The senior students are getting preliminary acceptances into a number of universities and colleges provincially, nationally and internationally. The school community is very proud of the hard work and determination, the senior students exemplify, each day.

With the start of March comes the end of the winter athletic season. Many of our students obtained team/personal bests in basketball, volleyball, table tennis and swimming. The Graydon swim team would like to congratulate one of its senior boys teammates on his silver and bronze medal achieve-ments at the Peel Regional championship. He represented Graydon, and Peel Regional, at the provincial championships where he was a finalist in the Boys 50m freestyle event. The spring sport season will be starting up shortly. Students will be involved in track and field, soccer, baseball, slow-pitch baseball, tennis and cricket just to name a few.

The Graydon Robotics Team has a very busy March competing in provincial competitions. The community mentors and sponsors have provided our students with amazing opportunities to learn about engineering applications, business presentations and technological skill development. The team hopes to compete in the international completion, in St. Louis, Missouri, in April.

Regional Program offers, in International Business and Technology as well as Graphic and Design Management went out to students last month. We are excited to be welcoming over 150 students, in the fall, to these pro-grams. The school will be hosting a Grade 8 Orientation Day Friday, May 6th. During the event, students will have the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a Graydon student. Participants will attend classes, meet present Graydon students, enjoy an amazing lunch (prepared by the schools Hospitality class) and create friendships that will last during their four years at Graydon.

Parents/guardians, of Graydon students, are reminded of the final School Council Meeting of the year. It will take place Thursday, April 21st, in the schools Learning Commons (library). It will being at 7:15 pm. We encourage all parents/guardians to attend. School Council is one of the most important ways to find out whats happening at the school.

JULIUS CAESARCawthra Park S.S. is celebrating Shakespeares 400th birthday with the brilliant political and bloody drama Julius Caesar. Shakespeare dissects revolutions by looking at the tortured Brutus as he must decide whether or not to take up the sword against a man he loves and respects. The out-come of his actions poses questions burning in our present day zeitgeist where revolution surrounds us. Director Randolph Swyer is looking at these pivotal issues through a modern lens with costume, make up and hair design inspired by Alexander McQueen.

CAWTHRA PARK & RIVERSIDE HEAD TO NUNAVUT!This spring 10 Cawthra Park students will be joining forces with 10 students from Riverside Public School to take part in the YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada Program. In April, our team of youth in grades 7 through 11 will travel to the small Inuit community of Arviat, Nunavut to meet new friends who will later visit us here in Mississauga.

Arviat, located on shores of Hudsons Bay, is the second largest hamlet in Nunavut with a population of 2000. It has a strong arts and crafts community and remains closely tied to its traditional Inuit roots. Our twenty students from Mississauga will be paired with a twin, a fellow student from Arviat they will correspond with and get to know virtually in the weeks leading up to the trip. Once in Arviat, the students from Cawthra and Riverside will be participating in projects and cultural activities in the community and experiencing life in Canadas sub-Arctic.

In May, twenty Inuit students will travel to Mississauga to stay with their twin. For many of them it will be their first time travelling outside their community. In a place where a box of cereal can cost $12 and a 2L bottle of pop $8, opportunities to see other parts of Canada are usually out of reach. The YMCA Exchange Program is making this trip possible by

covering the cost of travel. Our team here in Mississauga is working hard to raise funds so that our guests from Arviat can fully experience life in Mississauga and all it has to offer!

We would be so grateful for your help in bringing a warm Mississauga welcome to our Arviat friends. Contact Mr. Ball or Ms. Fitzpatrick at Cawthra Park S.S. if you would like to donate or support this experience in anyway.

Like that crazy aunt everyone likes to hide away in a corner at family gatherings, sour real estate deals are something nobody wants to talk about. Im sure that every Realtor who has been in the business for a while can share a story about a deal that went off the rails for one reason or another. But when we are dealing with fraud or an unethical agent, its something were not too keen to share. Its like a curse no one wants to scare potential customers away, including myself. But my philosophy is to educate my clients on how things work before they put pen to paper. I want my clients to know their rights, feel protected when they hire me and to know that I will protect them to the best of my abilities. (For example, I just received a notification from RECO warning me to not engage in any real estate transactions with a certain individual and company.)

Im not a lawyer, but part of my job is to be able to explain typical real estate documents so you can understand what youre signing and make sure youre comfortable with not just the price, but also the timing of when things need to be completed by and conditions youre agreeing to. They have to be the right decisions that suit you and your family. I especially worry when I find out about a senior who just sold their home to an agent directly, or an agent who double ends a sale the same day or even before the home gets posted on the MLS. Not to say that isnt legal, but it just makes me uneasy if I feel they didnt get fair market value.

When the time comes to hiring a sales representative for your own transaction, either buying or selling, you should learn who this person is that will be representing you. Its always best to have your own representative when buying a property so you dont have to rely on the selling agent to represent you. Would you be ok if your lawyer is representing both you (lets say youre the plaintiff) and the defendant? It doesnt seem right does it? But it happens with real estate transactions all the time.

You can go to www.reco.on.ca (Real Estate Council of Ontario and The Real Estate Business Brokers Act 2002.) to find out more about a sales representative or a broker before you hire them and confirm that he or she is indeed a registered, licensed Realtor. The Ontario government created RECO in 1997 to protect home buyers and sellers. They are the governing body that enforces rules and the code of ethics that all real estate professionals must follow. Any consumer who feels their real estate sales representative didnt perform ethically, or doesnt feel they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties can find out more through this website and potentially file a complaint through RECO.

I host a FREE webinar monthly on a variety of topics. The next one on March 22nd is about knowing your rights throughout the real estate transaction. Its free and you can watch it the comfort of your own home. Please visit my website: www.ColetteRabba.com under the Resources menu to find out dates, times and to register for the webinar.
