Renaud Otten Ottawa real estate team helps 300 families for Christmas

In the real estate field, it’s quite easy to take for granted the notion of access to housing. Since most of the people and clients we work with on a daily basis have the means to afford a home, it becomes a ‘given’. In our typical work week, we may help a first time home-buyer find the perfect starter condo; maybe we’ll assist a growing family in making the transition to a larger space; or, perhaps, we’ll help sell the home of an elderly couple looking to downsize after their children have ‘left the nest’. Our daily vernacular consists of industry-speak relating to the beauty and comfort of our houses:  vaulted ceilings, quality stonework, spacious bedrooms…the list goes on.

And so it becomes a challenge to remember how lucky we are and how important it is to spread that luck to those who need it most. In previous years, the Renaud-Otten Team has thanked past clients by sending them a token of our appreciation in the form of a Christmas CD. This year, however, we wanted to do something that would both add value to our past clients and make a difference in our community. Therefore, in lieu of holiday souvenirs that add value only to us, we have arranged to feed 300 families on Christmas Day through the Shepherd’s of Good Hope and their excellent “Feed a Family of 4 for a Day” program.

This holiday season, the Ray Otten and the Team would like to extend thanks to all of our past, present, and future clients. We hope this donation on your behalf is as valuable to you as it is to those who need it most. Furthermore, should you wish to donate, details can be found here at: http://shepherdsofgoodhope.myshopify.com/products/feed-a-family-of-4-for-a-day

All our best in 2012.

Sincerely,

Ray Otten and the Team

Here at the Renaud Otten Team, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new OttawaProperties.com website.  With much easier navigation and valuable information for buyers and sellers, we are sure that you will enjoy our new look.

We are also happy to be able to offer visitors to our site a free subscription to Ottawa at Home magazine.  Each issue is packed full of beautiful home decorating ideas, delicious recipes and articles abou Ottawa area people, businesses, restaurants and properties.  Check out a free issue today!

As previously reported, Ray Otten of the Renaud Otten Team has recently become an Accredited Green Broker.  In an effort to reduce our team’s carbon footprint, one of our initiatives is to replace our Homes by Design magazine subscription with an eVersion of Ottawa at Home magazine.

All of our previous clients enjoyed a monthly subscription to the paper-based Homes by Design magazine.  Now, we are exchanging this paper-based subscription to an eco-friendly subscription of Ottawa at Home magazine. 

In addition to providing this eVersion to our existing clients, we are pleased to be able to provide this magazine to all of our potential clients as well! 

In order to reserve your eVersion of Ottawa at Home magazine, simply email mail@OttawaProperties.com with the names and emails of anyone who would enjoy receiving a monthly local magazine filled with home, food and living in Ottawa information – all timely, fresh and unique content delivered to your inbox each month!

Are you getting ready to move into your new Ottawa home?  Are your days spent surrounded by boxes?  Wondering how you are going to get everything where it is supposed to go and on time?

Perhaps you are selling your current Ottawa home and moving into a new one.  Maybe you are buying your first home and are moving out of your apartment.

Let us help you with the cost of moving!  PODS Moving and Storage is a great alternative to moving everything at the last minute.  Just arrange for a POD to be delivered to your Ottawa area home and start moving items and boxes inside it.  A de-cluttered home sells much faster than a home full of years of accumulated belongings. 

You know all those Christmas ornaments and winter clothing you have packed away in storage boxes that are just taking up space in your basement, garage or spare bedroom?  Simply move them into the POD – no more clutter!

Here at the Renaud Otten team, we have negotiated a 10% discount for our clients with PODS Moving and Storage.  Simply call one of our  Ottawa Sales Representatives at 613-288-2455 so that we can provide you with your 10% discount coupon.  Or, contact us for any other real estate questions you may have or visit our Ottawa real estate website to view some of our listings.

Happy packing!
