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.
Oh my gosh!! I have just signed myself up to move to a Retirement Community.
Where do I start? Well, I have a very full three-storey, six-bedroom house that has been my home for forty-five years. As well as all the other chores involved in this process, I must sell my home. Nutan Brown has been a neighbour for many years, and she has a good reputation as a Real Estate Agent. So, I bit the bullet and gave Nutan a call. What a perfect solution!
I had a few qualms about things I did NOT want to experience and Nutan, as well as being a delightful person to talk to, agreed with all my requests. I did not believe in “puffing it up” to look fancy. If the prospective buyer cannot see the potential of my house, I do not want them to buy it. Nutan said “fine”. I wanted to be out of the house before it went on the market so that I did not have to endure all the viewings. That was also fine.
Then there were family collections of forty-five years plus a house full of furniture with which to deal. Well, Nutan connected me with a team that came in and did all of the downsizing, packing and moving very efficiently and… there you go! I was out of my house, moved and settled in to my new home by dinnertime on the big day.
My family said to me “Mom, you are so worried about so many things but you have never once expressed any anxiety about selling the house.” My reply was “I have no need to worry, the sale of my house is in good hands.” I found Nutan a delightful lady with whom to work. She is fair and honest with both her sellers and her buyers, and is attentive to and respectful of the wishes of her clients. I would whole-heartedly recommend Nutan to anyone who needs a Real Estate Agent.
My house was sold immediately and at a fair price. Thank you Nutan! - Alice Robertson

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In bowl, combine fruit spread, dried cherries and flour. In another bowl, combine sliced almonds, breadcrumbs, ground almonds, cinnamon and brown sugar.
• Lay one sheet of phyllo on baking sheet, keeping remaining phyllo sheets covered with a clean damp kitchen towel until ready to use. Brush phyllo with butter; sprinkle with one-sixth of the almond mixture. Repeat phyllo, butter and nut mixture layers, reserving a little butter, until all phyllo and nut mixture is used up.
• Using small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread cherry mixture evenly over top of phyllo layers, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border bare on all sides. Roll phyllo up lengthwise, jelly-roll style. Tuck ends underneath and brush seams with remaining butter. Place seam side down in the middle of prepared baking sheet. Using sharp knife, cut three equal slits across top of roll. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar and slice crosswise on the diagonal to serve. THN

P A C K A B R A I N B O O S T I N G L U N C HPacking the right food for lunch can also play a role in boosting your child's brain power. Foods that contain poly-unsaturated fats are good for brain health and provide energy. If possible, try to slip avocados or pumpkin seeds into school lunches.
A D D O M E G A - 3 SF O R B R A I N H E A LT HThe long-chain omega-3 fats in fish oil have been shown to improve cognitive performance, including improved behaviour, memory, and reading. Getting the right amount of healthy fats during pregnancy and childhood has shown to have a number of benefits for children, including increased intelligence and visual acuity. Omega-3 supplements are available in different forms for children and adults.
D O N ' T F O R G E T A B O U T V I T A M I N DIn September, the days get shorter and back-to-school means more time indoors, both of which can lead to a decrease in vitamin D. Children and toddlers need vitamin D to absorb calcium and form strong teeth and bones. It has also been linked to increased immunity and disease prevention. Consider adding a vitamin D supplement formulated for children.
When adding supplements to your child's diet, it is always a good idea to speak with your health care practitioner. Visit chfa.ca for more information on how to help your child thrive and enjoy a healthy transition back to school this September. THN
