🏡 Buying a condo can be a great option, but there’s a lot more to consider than the unit itself.

Strata fees, meeting minutes, depreciation reports, insurance deductibles, 🐾 pet bylaws, special levies, parking and storage can all affect what ownership actually looks like after you move in.
I put together a practical guide for buyers looking at condos across Central Vancouver Island.

If you’re thinking about buying a condo, this is a good place to start before you get too attached to the kitchen and the view.

🏡 Selling the home of a parent or family member can be a lot to carry, especially when probate, power of attorney, belongings, repairs and family decisions are all happening at once.

We’ve put together a practical guide for families in Nanaimo and across Central Vancouver Island that walks through what to do first, what can wait, and where legal or tax advice may be needed.

It covers probate and estate sales, power of attorney, preparing the home, sorting belongings, deciding whether to renovate or sell as is, and practical steps for executors and families.

If you’re helping a parent or family member move into care, or dealing with an estate property after a loss, this may help make the next steps feel a little clearer.
