Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust,

confidence and exceptional service. Thank you for the Opportunity!

**Please visit www.nutanbrown.com to see this featured testimonial and many others from current and past clients, to make your real estate decisions with complete confidence**

I have now had the pleasure of working with Nutan when selling two properties. Nutan is unfailingly knowledgeable, good natured, patient and accommodating. When Nutan is your real estate agent she comes with a team of diligent and talented folks to help. Special thanks to Brent and Gord who helped to “fluff ” one property. They updated the fixtures making cost conscious suggestions that fit our budget and emphasized the charms of the residence. Angelo looks after the painting and did a marvelous job.When it came time to sell my parent’s home of some 50 years, Nutan was ready to help and, once again, did an excellent job. Her team was lined up and onside within a few days. Kevin is a handy man like no other. He evaluated the repairs we needed and agreed on a schedule allowing us to meet our goal to put the house on the market within a short period of time. The job was completed on time and within budget. Kevin’s attention to detail and his good nature were very appreciated. Ali helped with the carpet necessary to freshen the look of the family room. His professionalism and willingness to accommodate my busy schedule was very impressive.Throughout the process Nutan was supportive, accessible and successfully closed a deal that had many challenges. Her impec-cable skills and professionalism shone through. ~ The Ropchan Family

Try Filippou's four great tips to make sure the food you serve and the atmosphere you create are as memorable as the company you share them with.

SERVE COOL UNDILUTED DRINKSDon't make the mistake of serving too much ice - nobody likes a watered-down drink. Use environmentally-friendly reusable ice cubes that can easily be found in the seasonal housewares section of most retail stores.

SET THE MOODPut on some tunes that your guests or date are sure to enjoy. Make sure you ask around to get a feel for the different tastes in music so you can prepare the perfect playlist. Nice tunes, some great company and summer night dining will create the perfect setting for a truly memorable evening. >>>

UNDER THE STARS

uring the summer, everyone always prefers to be outside, and evenings are no exception. Whether you're seeing all the stars in the night sky at the cottage or experiencing the lights and sounds of the city, there's something particularly magical and romantic about being outdoors after the sun sets. The warm, open air is also the perfect setting for al fresco dining. Skip the pricey patios and invite loved ones over for some inspired summer entertaining. “Outdoor dining gives you the perfect opportunity to explore extraordinary food with your dinner guests,” says Tom Filippou, Executive Chef for President's Choice Cooking School.

SPEND MORE TIME WITH GUESTSThe last thing you want to do when entertaining is hide out in the kitchen while your guests enjoy the party outside. So cut down on food prep by serving delicious but simple appetizers like tortilla chips with fresh PC Pico de Gallo Mild Salsa made with chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, fresh serranos, salt and key lime juice.

DON'T FORGET THE CITRONELLAThe only thing you want your guests to leave your party with are full bellies, not bug bites. So make sure you keep out unwanted visitors like pesky mosquitos with citronella lamps or candles. The added lights also help create a great ambience that just might make your guests believe they're on a tropical island on a late summer night.
