A little late sharing this one, but I couldn’t let it go by without saying SOLD! 🎉

So happy for my buyer on finding the right place to call home. ❤️

Congratulations, and thank you for trusting me to be part of the journey! 🥂

Well… you never know what you’re going to find during a home inspection. 😂

Apparently this old copy of The Powassan Gazette has been sitting around for a while.

Seems the local inspector was already crawling through attics, checking cottages, investigating mysterious basements and keeping an eye on Powassan homes back in 1924. 😎
Some things never change.

All kidding aside, I had some fun creating this little throwback to Powassan’s history and the kind of homes, cottages and characters that make this area such a great place to work.
Solace Inspections — keeping an eye on Northern Ontario homes… apparently for over 100 years. 😂🏡

🎥🏡 A different view can tell the whole story.

I recently had the opportunity to provide the aerial video and property imaging for this beautiful nearly 100-acre country property at 381 Wasing Road.

For rural properties like this, drone imaging can showcase so much more than traditional photography alone — the home, acreage, trails, forest, waterways and overall layout of the property from a completely different perspective.

A big thank-you to Angela Ashford, Realtor and Coldwell Banker Peter Minogue Real Estate Brokerage for having Solace Inspections help showcase this one!

Drone services through Solace aren’t limited to real estate either. Aerial imaging can be useful for:

• Real estate listings and property marketing
• Personal property and recreational photography
• Rural property and acreage exploration
• Roofs and difficult-to-access areas
• Land searches and search-support applications
• General aerial property documentation

Whether you’re a Realtor, property owner, cottage owner or simply need another set of eyes from above, feel free to reach out.

🏡 NEW SERVICE — HOME WATCH & SNOWBIRD PROPERTY CHECKS

Heading south for the winter? Away from your cottage, seasonal property, or home for extended periods?

Solace Inspections now offers Home Watch services throughout North Bay, Nipissing District, Parry Sound District and surrounding cottage country.

While you’re away, I can provide scheduled visual checks of your property to help identify concerns before they turn into bigger problems.

Services can include:

• Exterior property and building checks
• Interior visual inspections
• Signs of water leaks or damage
• Heating and temperature concerns
• Doors, windows and security checks
• Storm or severe-weather follow-up checks
• Seasonal and vacant-property monitoring
• Photo updates after each visit
• Customized checklists based on your property

Whether you’re a snowbird heading south for the winter, a cottage owner who lives out of town, or simply leaving your home unattended for an extended period, having someone regularly checking the property can provide a little extra peace of mind.

As a Certified Home Inspector, retired firefighter and local business owner, I approach every visit with a trained eye for safety, maintenance concerns and changes that may otherwise go unnoticed.

📍 Serving Powassan, North Bay, Callander, Nipissing District, Parry Sound District and surrounding cottage, rural and seasonal-property areas.

Remote and limited-access properties are also welcome.

Packages can be customized based on the property, frequency of visits and your specific needs.

Angela Ashford, Realtor is one of the collaborators who helped me develop and grow Solace Inspections and Construction to where we are today. 😊 ⏩️

I could not be more proud of her for continuing to expand her knowledge, achieving her Level 1 Mortgage Agent! 👩‍🎓

This gives her the ability to further help her clients. Along with being a Realtor, now having more resources available, she can help them meet their true needs.
This makes any real-estate transaction smoother and less stressful. ☺️

If you're considering a real-estate transaction in any capacity, she should be your first contact. She can lay out a very detailed, best course of action path. 🏁

I truly look forward to seeing her growth, and where these 2 businesses will compliment each other. 🫂

Thank you for all the help over the years, and congratulations on the great achievement. 💙

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

I'm proud to share that I have officially earned my Level 1 Mortgage Agent Licence!

When I entered real estate, I brought with me years of experience in administration, bookkeeping, legal and financial documentation, personal income taxes, customer service, and personal lending through TD. Combined with my real estate education and experience helping clients buy, sell, and invest, this additional mortgage training allows me to better understand the full picture of a real estate transaction.

My goal has always been to provide my clients with knowledgeable guidance, exceptional service, and the confidence to make informed decisions. Every course, certification, and career experience I've gained has helped me build a stronger foundation to serve you better.

Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, investing, or simply exploring your options, I'm here to help.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I look forward to continuing to grow, learn, and serve our community. 🏡❤️
