Happy weekend, friends, but most importantly, happy spring! It is finally here. Let’s forget about those dark and dreary winter days, and start daydreaming about patio season, gardening, spring cleaning (yes, the crew at Team Smulders loves a good spring clean), outdoor activities, and so much more. So what are you waiting for, get out and explore what our communities have to offer this weekend.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the annual Hamilton Spring Home & Garden Show on Saturday, April 6th. Team Smulders will be onsite from 1-4pm to chat all things house and home related. Contact the team for your free VIP tickets to the show!

Shen Yun is performing in Hamilton this weekend at the First Ontario Concert Hall. Shen Yun performs classical Chinese dance, ethnic and folk dance, and story-based dance, with orchestral accompaniment and solo performers. For 5,000 years, divine culture flourished in the land of China. Through breathtaking music and dance, Shen Yun is reviving this glorious culture. Shen Yun can be translated as, “the beauty of divine beings dancing.”

Open Houses
Life is better on the beach, Beach Boulevard to be exact. Stop by 916 Beach Blvd and 920 Beach Blvd in Hamilton this Sunday for two open houses that you won’t want to miss. 916 is a four-bedroom, four-bath that has been newly renovated, spacious and lots of natural light (#dreamhome). 920 Beach Blvd is another stunner that current home buyers need to visit. This four-bedroom, 4+1 bath is steps from the beach, newly updated, with an open concept on the main floor, and plenty of living space on the second floor. These two homes are must-sees, and you don’t want to miss out on the chance to call one of these houses your dream home.
