Nordic Farmhouse Decor at Our House this Christmas

Thursday, December 19th, 2019

Welcome to our Home and our Nordic Farmhouse Christmas!

 
Christmas comes early to our hearts and minds in our home. We decorated very early – back in November. My friends are asking me to share what I’ve done and post for all to see. At the end of a long year of real estate, here’s some respite from a difficult market and hard sales.
 

Reason for the Season

Christmas has a lot of meaning for me still to this day. I loved Christmas growing up. It meant cookies, family dinners and church visits. I work to balance my beliefs about what I learnt in Church about the reason for the season. I ask myself, how did a ‘mythology’ or ‘folklore’ become so pervasive between countries and languages? Is it the need for one another to aspire to forgiveness, the light, love and peace or is it something more?
 
Like any good REALTOR® – I watch at upcoming trends, home decor, colors and materials to influence the mood of my home and this years Christmas is no exception. Being an Alberta girl, I do like Farmhouse. I like Joanna Gaines. I like Fixer Upper. I like Ship lap. Even Wagon Wheel lighting gives a smile to my decorating soul.
 
After a thorough review of the upcoming trends and styles for Christmas 2019, I decided to mix two styles into one for our house.

Whether buying or selling your home, you have several decisions to make.

Should you work with a REALTOR®? Which real estate company will provide the best value? Which REALTOR® within that company will be best suited to help you through the process?

We reached out to the RE/MAX Influencers: A panel consisting of RE/MAX Sales Associates from throughout Canada. We asked them: Why should a consumer work with RE/MAX when he/she has so many options out there?

The Brand

Chances are, you would have a hard time finding someone who has never heard of “RE/MAX.” With 100,000 Sales Associates in nearly 100 countries worldwide, the RE/MAX name—along with the iconic balloon—represents a professional organization that has become an industry leader.

RE/MAX also advertises through many mediums, including: Television, print, online and physical signs such as NHL rink boards. This high level of exposure will go to work for you when listing your property. Many RE/MAX Sales Associates are also affiliated with the Children’s Miracle Network; therefore, the sale of a RE/MAX Miracle Home will help support your local children’s hospital. According to ComScore, RE/MAX Canada also leads other real estate brands with its significant traffic to remax.ca.

“In an uncertain market, consumers become less speculative. Instead, they rely on proven brands to reinforce their efforts to manage one of their most important investments. They rely on the experience and expertise that has made RE/MAX one of the most recognizable brands in the real estate world.”
