Sutton Group – West Coast Realty Loaves and Food Drive

Posted by Jeff King on Nov 25, 2011

It’s that time of year once again and in preparation for the upcoming 2011 Christmas season, we at Sutton Group – West Coast Realty are collecting for the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank.  There’s a donation box at the office for dried or canned goods follow this link to see what they would like to receive. IF you prefer, you can make a cheque out to the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank and we’ll make sure they get it along with the office’s.  You can donate on line by following this link.

This is the third year we’ve been collecting for this worthy cause and they’ve been very appreciative of our efforts in the past.  Let’s see if we can surpass our collections from the previous 2 years!  

Sutton Realtors, their clients and anyone else can donate to the Loaves and Fishes here too!  Dried or canned goods (basically non-perishable) can be collected. They don’t have to be personal size either, as they’re happy to split large donations between several families too.  You just donate it, and their volunteers will do the rest!

Come by our office at unit 604-5800 Turner Road (beside the Nanaimo Cactus Club).  Our office hours are 9:00am – 4:30pm. By the way, well sell houses too!

Thanks and Merry Christmas from The Sutton Group – West Coast Realty team!

Holiday decorating while selling

Posted by Jeff King on Nov 21, 2011

The trick to selling your home during the holiday as in any other season is keeping it clutter free.  How do you do this with decorations?  Don’t put any up!  Ok, yes, I am kidding.  I like Christmas just as much as the next person.  So, I asked interior designer Cynthia Martin from Fort McMurray to give us some tips from the North.

According to Cynthia, keep it simple.  Don’t do anything that’s going to make the spaces inside your house or outside look small.  Keep decorating to tasteful yet simple ornaments and refrain from letting the Christmas tree overtake the living room!

You can get the full list here.
