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.
One fateful winter afternoon, a family member sent us an email to check the MLS for a home in The King-sway. With no intentions of moving from our home in the coveted area of Bloor West Village, we took a peek and were immediately intrigued. This home had so much character – from the stone façade to the large lot and the future potential for our family – a country home in the city. We were interested enough that we were now in need of a Real Estate Agent.
Nutan’s name had come across our paths a few years earlier. We were told she was the king of agent who really cared about the best interests of her clients and that she would always end up as a part of the family. We met with her briefly and although, at the time, we were only casually thinking of moving, Nutan con-tinued to follow up every so often and she would send us a listing here and there she thought might be of interest. Until we saw that Kingsway home, nothing really jumped out and then there wasn’t a question who we would call to be our Agent. In fact, we didn’t even consider anyone else. Nutan spent the time with us as we considered this potential new home and she provided us with a lot of research so that we could make an educated decision. After a couple of weeks, we made an offer that was lower than asking and so we thought the sellers would never accept. But Nutan’s sharp negotiating skills got us the house! We were both thrilled and shocked that we had bought a new home… after having had no intentions of moving!
Now we had a tight timeline to get our Bloor West Village home on the market to sell. Nutan kept us calm and offered us the reassurance we needed during this stressful time. Through daily communication, she made sure we stayed on track and organized. We took her advice towards some very minor improvements and to retain the services of her amazing home stager, Diana Ross. We hoped this would yield us a terrific sale price for our home.
On the day our Bloor West Village home went on the market, it looked like something out of a magazine. Nutan had photographs taken, floor plans drawn up, printed beautiful pamphlets, she had our home pre-inspected, and she hosted a very successful Agent’s Open House. That afternoon we had back-to-back private showings booked. And low and behold, that very evening, after all the preparation and less than 12 hours on the market, we received 2 bully offers. That night, Nutan walked us through the process and we ac-cepted on AMAZING offer we just couldn’t turn down. We were in shock, once again. And yet we walked away from that evening thankful for how hard Nutan had worked for us.
Five months later, we are so happy in our Kingsway home. This is truly our forever home. We have room to expand, improve and make it our own. The time we spent in our Bloor West Village home has already escaped the memories of our three year old twins. It’s here, in our new home, that we will make a lifetime of memories. And we want to thank Nutan, from the bottom of our hearts, for her warm, friendly, patient, energetic and helpful self. You have become part of our family and we couldn’t have made it through this process without you.

PerfectPasta I S S U R E TO I M P R E S S YO U R G U E S T S
“Topped with roasted grape tomatoes and grated cheese, orecchiette pasta is the ideal domed pasta shape for cradling savoury sun-dried tomato pesto and aromatic fresh basil,” says Tom Filippou, executive chef at President's Choice.
FROM THE ITALIAN WORD MEANING "LITTLE EARS" ,the small and delicately shaped noodle used in this recipe is a distinctly Puglian type pasta that melds beautifully with the simple and rustic sauce.
I N G R E D I E N T S
• 2 packages (each 255 g) PC Grape Tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) Olive Oil
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) Salt
• 1 jar (191 mL) PC Black Label Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) grated PC Black Label Hard Ripened Sovrano Cheese
• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) Salt
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground Black Pepper
• 1 package (500 g) PC Black Label Orecchiette Pasta
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced fresh Basil
OrecchietteWITH ROASTED AND SUNDRIED TOMATOES
D I R E C T I O N S
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss together tomatoes, oil and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt in bowl; spread onto prepared baking sheet. Roast in centre of oven for 25 minutes or until shriveled.
• Meanwhile, combine pesto, cheese, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt and the pepper in large bowl.
• Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta; stir occa-sionally until water returns to a boil. Cook for 9 to 11 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain, reserving 1 cup (250 mL) of the pasta cooking water. Toss pasta with pesto mixture. Add half of reserved pasta cooking water and toss again. Add more water if necessary to loosen sauce, adding 1/4 cup (50 mL) at a time. Stir in basil.
• Divide pasta among six bowls; spoon tomatoes over top. Serve with additional grated or shaved cheese, if desired. THN
