experienced agent gloria valasori: Things to Consider, & Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Realtor - 12/14/17 06:13 AM
Things to Consider and Critical Mistakes to Avoid
When Choosing a Realtor®
Selling a home should be like any other business transaction, but all too often sellers make emotional or impulsive decisions that cost them money and time.  Choosing the right Realtor to market a property and negotiate the sale is the most important step in the process. 
“My friend (or family member) sells real estate.”
Friendship alone isn’t enough to establish a professional’s credentials.  Use tough standards when selecting an agent, just as you would when hiring an attorney, a doctor, or an accountant to handle your taxes.  A true friend will understand and … (4 comments)

experienced agent gloria valasori: CAN YOU MAKE FRESH PIZZA FROM SCRATCH? YES YOU CAN! - 11/03/17 05:26 AM
For those of you who enjoy Pizza, but hate paying those high prices.. you can make fresh pizza yourself!  It's really very easy.  The other benefits?  You know exactly what you are eating.. and there are no preservatives.
It's also a fun activity you can  do together with your children.  My grandchildren love helping me in the ktichen when I am making pasta, the fresh tomato sauce to go with the pasta, and fresh bread, or baking their fresh cookies, or cake.  While we are spending quality time together, it is also teaching them at the same time.
I had so many people … (8 comments)

experienced agent gloria valasori: You Have To Want It ... - 11/07/16 03:53 AM
Many years ago, before I became a realtor, I was a single mother and someone encouraged me to leave my secretarial job and get into sales beacause they thought I would be successful at it.  Needless to say I was hesitant to leave a weekly pay cheque in favour of being paid solely by commission.
Then someone said to me... "Gloria, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.. after all ....what's the worst thing that can happen?   If you don't succeed you can always go back and get another administrative job, but if you don't try you will never … (0 comments)

experienced agent gloria valasori: If You Had Your Life To Live Over Again ... - 11/02/16 09:54 PM
Some of my favourite quotes from humourist, Erma Bombeck:
 
“Cleanliness is not next to Godliness. It isn't even in the same neighborhood. No one has ever gotten a religious experience out of removing burned-on cheese from the grill of the toaster oven.” 
 
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.” 
 
“Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart.” 
 
There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, … (4 comments)

experienced agent gloria valasori: Is There An Inner Chef In You? Home Made Pasta From Scratch - 11/01/16 04:11 AM
Pasta is one of my favourite foods, and being Italian, I’m very fussy about my Pasta, and there is no comparison between home made and store bought…. The good news?  It’s not that difficult OR time consuming as everyone thinks.
It has a soft, velvety texture that you just don’t get in store bought pasta, and the other big plus? It only takes 2-3 minutes to cook… much less time than the store bought. 
The other plus?  You know exactly what you and your family are eating because everything is made from scratch with fresh eggs, and flour..
To compliment the soft, velvety pasta … (0 comments)

I reposted this from a friend on Facebook... Thank you Pat Auriol - Canadian Residential Inspections
 
Raymond and Bubba
Raymond & Bubba, two Saskatchewan mechanical engineers who work for the Govenrment, were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.
A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.
“We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole,” said  Bubba, “but we don't have a ladder.”
The woman said, “Hand me that wrench out of your toolbox.”
She loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down.
Then she took a tape measure from their toolbox, took a 
measurement, and announced, “Eighteen feet, six … (3 comments)
