Your garden is likely at its very best right now. Often as we list a home in winter, spring, or late fall we don’t have pictures of the garden. And so, if you are thinking of selling at one point now is a good time to schedule an outdoor photoshoot. Thus you will be able to showcase a fabulous aspect of your home no matter the season. Call the Molly & Claude Team for assistance as required.

Architect – Eileen Gray

September 27, 2023 by microsoft edge Leave a Comment




Eileen Gray was an Irish architect and furniture designer. Born in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland in 1878, she died in Paris in 1976. During her carreer she was influenced professionally by Philip Wilson Steer, Henry tonks, and Frederick Brown. Personally she was linked to Romaine Brooks, Loie Fuller, Marie-Louise Damen, and Natalie Barney. Her most famous residential structure is E-1027. Furniture wise the E-1027 table designed in 1927, remains a very popular table almost 100 years later. Her Dragon chair was sold in auction at the Yves Saint-Laurent estate sale. I love chairs but it’s hard for me to understand how a chair can be sold for so much. My thought is as is for all high end pieces if someone paid that for it it must have merit, merit that we may not understand.

Le Corbusier, an architect I normally respect was a houseguest of Jean Badovici (a coleague of Gray) he took it upon himself to paint murals on the walls. Much to Gray’s displeasure!

Floor Covering Options

September 25, 2023 by microsoft edge Leave a Comment




I’m in the mood to get on my renovation soapbox this morning. Mostly I’d like to address the choice of floor covering.

It seems like every year there are new flooring options. Hardwood or engineered hardwood are the most luxurious. Luxury vinyl is taking the place of laminate, but for now I still believe hardwood or engineered hardwood is typically a better choice. My take on making a decision in a house but perhaps more for a condo is look to see what the neighbours are doing. When we as realtors look at the value of a home we look at the comparables. Equivalent space having been established the next criteria are kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring. In a building where everyone has hardwood or engineered hardwood I tend to discourage the use of laminate as that would not appreciate the value of the home when comparing to others. Also of importance if you are adding a new flooring to a room – try to match what is there and ensure the transition is smooth. I once saw a condo which had a total of 9 different types of floorings: not a good look. Professionally installed is always best as they know how to scatter the different lengths to create a good look. Of course, laminate should be used in a basement. Best use I’ve seen is where the ground floor and upper floor was hardwood and the basement had a similar colour laminate.

Then of course there’s the possibility of over improving. Choosing materials that are more luxurious than what is typically used in a building may not increase the value of your condo as much as you think. Unless you live in one of the more luxurious buildings in the city. If that is the case go ahead and throw a quarry of marble at your ensuite bath.

When making renovations for yourself get those Chinese red lacquer kitchen cupboards you’ve always wanted – but if you want to appreciate the value of your home and make it ready to sell call the Molly & Claude team for guidance.

Thanks!

For being customizable! Julie

Claude and Molly are truly amazing!

I live very far out of town and needed an Ottawa real estate agent after my father died.
I picked them after looking online.

Well I picked the right ones! They were and are extraordinary. Because I live so far away our family needs for cleaning the house out and getting it ready to sell were huge, and to me, insurmountable.

I couldn't have done it without them, and to top this off, they are friendly and just great people. Thank you so much Claude and Molly.

All the best, Rachel


You’re fantastic!

Allan

A huge Thank YOU

You did a yeoman's service with helping us find and buy our house.
We are so grateful for your insights and patience.
It was a big learning curve (and I am still trying to figure out why milk is in a bag . . .) I look forward to hanging out, I mean possibly working with you when I arrive here full time;-) In the meantime, thank you again from us both. Arica and Eric

Fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle

Over the past couple of weeks we were very fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle.
We were selling our home and Molly brought her client to view it knowing it would be a home that they would be interested in....which by the way they were as they did end up purchasing. It was our fortunate luck that we met Molly through this endeavour. My husband and I were selling our house with Grapevine and as we are not experienced sellers there were a few times we were very close to just taking it off the market and staying here. Her experience, knowledge, kindness to us, her understanding that this was a difficult decision especially for my husband made the whole difference for us. Molly's professionalism and expertise, her ability to 'walk a fine line' while working for her client and yet to be so kind and gentle with us was amazing. We feel the whole experience gave us the opportunity to meet and talk with Molly and to value her knowledge. You can be assured that we will highly recommend her to any of our friends who need a conscientious, honest, trustworthy realtor. Sadly we will miss talking with Molly but we only wish her the very best in the future and say 'thank you Molly' for all her help and support. Sincerely, Lenore and Ralph

I really appreciate your hard work,

I will refer you and Molly to friends and family if they are looking to sell. Yana
