Welcome to our blog!
We hope you'll find this blog useful and interesting, and if there is ever a real estate question that you want to ask, please visit our website at www.barriehome.com, or drop us a line to glenn@barriehome.com.
So I am compromising by posting something real-estate related but totally entertaining. The blog lovelylisting.com truly must be seen to be believed, because I could never convey in words how hilarious and horrible these listing photos are. I mean honestly, does this make you feel like home? I think not. Click the link to check it out! - Caleigh
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has wondered why there are so few hotel choices in Barrie, especially in the South end. Thank goodness this is changing, with several new hotels including the Super 8 and Holiday Inn Express on Bryne Drive off Mapleview, and the new Days Inn on Bryne just off Essa Road.
The latest addition is the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, also on Bryne off Essa (do we have no other streets in this city?). It's a bit higher end, and if the pictures are any indication it's quite elegant and with more amenities than the other three I mentioned. It's too new to have reviews on any of the travel sites I visited, so if anyone wants to let us know what it's like, drop us a line! (caleigh@barriehome.com)
I do like the fact that they guarantee the best rate, so if you book through them then find a better deal through a travel website, they will adjust the rate and give you a bonus. Click the link for more info. - Caleigh
Most of the region's maple syrup festivals are already over, but if you haven't made it to one yet, you're not too late.
The Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival is on this weekend, and if it's half as good as they say, it should be a great time. Click the link for the full lineup of events, beginning Friday with a midway. I'll be going with my 5-year-old son and he's most looking forward to the pancakes, while I want to check out the arts and crafts show. Should be fun! - Caleigh
Kid's Closet in Barrie's South end is a fantastic place to buy and sell gently used children's clothing, toys and more. They're pretty picky about the condition of items they will accept, which is great news for all of us whose kids grow way too fast and need good quality, stylish stuff at a reasonable price. Click the link to visit their site!
If you ARE reading this on April 22, Kid's Closet is having some special events to celebrate Earth Day, so it's a great time to check it out. - Caleigh
But we also know that people who buy homes are interested in a wide range of topics. They're interested in fun stuff to do outside their homes. They're interested in cool stuff to put in their homes. And, yes, they're interested in stuff about real estate too.
Since I'm the "artsy" one in the group, and since Norene (who we all know is the real boss around here) is away this week, I decided to appoint myself to get the ball rolling!
I hope that all of our clients, and of course anyone who is interested in what's new and cool in the Barrie area, will find this blog useful and informative. We'll be updating it a couple of times a week, so come back often to see what's up. And now and then, since I have to justify this as a "work-related endeavour", we'll talk about real estate too. Enjoy! - Caleigh
