What To Do About Mold in your Nanaimo home Whether you looking to sell a house or buy a house in Nanaimo, one of the things that you’ll want to keep an eye out for is mold. This may sound clichéd, but one of the easiest ways to deal with mold is to prevent it before it even starts or begins to spread too far.   Here are a couple of things that can cause mold inside your home and what you can do to keep the mold from getting out of hand. 1.  Poorly ventilated bathrooms.  Older homes especially may not have an exhaust fan or a window to open in the bathroom.  If you have a bathroom like this and you’re not careful to keep in ventilated, you’ll find mold start to grow in the tub and shower enclosure and in the ceiling corners. 2.  Plumbing leaks.  Over a period of time the shut-off valves ... 08/31/2012

Deerwood Place Estates in Nanaimo - a wonderful place to call home Deerwood Place Estates is a manufactured home park in Nanaimo that caters to the 55+ age group.  It is a gated community located just off Jinglepot Road and very handy to the parkway.

Before you price your house remember that consumers today are highly educated. They have access to a lot of information which they access from the internet and from their Realtor.  Buyer's agents and listing agents both put together comparative market evaluations (CMA's) on homes in the area whe... 03/09/2011
