Visture Property Management Peterborough is proud to mark the end of our latest home transformation. What started as an eyesore — a non-contributing property in the surrounding community is now a gorgeous space and a huge win for the Visture team, its partners, and Peterborough.
It is in our dedication to solving the housing shortage in Peterborough that we seek out new property transformation opportunities. We look forward to our next project with enthusiasm and passion.
See below some pictures of this amazing transformation and if you’d like watch this video:

Staging is one of the most important steps towards generating inquiries into a property but has long been a point of contention for owners of rentals. Effectively showing off your property is the difference between successfully leasing your apartment or not, yet the ability to properly stage a space has long been a financial gatekeeper to many property owners.
Living Room Before
Living Room After
Not only is physical staging financially prohibitive, running costs of more than $3,000, but with needing to move rented furniture into the property, an owner also introduces the risk of damages — it is not uncommon for movers to bang things up!
At Visture Property Management Peterborough, we are introducing a new service known as Virtual Staging to bring the potential to show off a property at its best to everyone. No longer will you need to pay a premium to generate inquiries.
Virtual Staging helps by removing both the risk and obscene costs of physical staging. Instead of paying a premium in the thousands of dollars, virtually staging an entire home only costs owners around 100-200 dollars. By digitally rendering furniture and decor, the cost of ‘prop renting’ is reduced by over 95% with all risks of scuffed walls and splintered wood abolished.
The objective of staging a property is to better represent the size of certain spaces and to give people an idea as to what the space could be. Done well, and it can generate two to three times more leads! For too long, owners have settled with showcasing pictures of drab, empty rooms — doing little to show off a space’s potential.
With this new Virtual Staging service, you send us pictures of empty rooms and we will send you back a completed space. It is that easy.
Dining Room Before
Dining Room After
With a properly staged property, you will be able to effectively compete in the ever-growing rental and purchasing markets. More leads mean more demand, and more demand means a greater incentive to raise your rents!
Give potential buyers and renters a reason to be excited about your property. Visit our Virtual Staging page to see just how we can transform your space! Otherwise, if you are interested in one of our amazing rentals, contact us today!
Let us talk about pets. Most of us have pets, may it be cats or dogs and they are adorable. The question is if you are renting a property, should owners accept tenants have pets? Here at Visture, we definitely say YES!
You might be concerned about horror stories of pets damaging the property and pet owners don’t care about it, we understand. But we always believe that pets are the reflection of their owners. Selecting great tenants is one the key to not have any issues with our furry friends.
Let us hear it from our CEO, JG Francoeur of Visture Property Management Peterborough

Are you planning to convert your property into a Student Rentals? Or maybe, you currently own one.
Visture Property Management Peterborough has some advice for you.
During this pandemic, student rentals are the hardest hit market in Real Estate. Classes had been canceled until further notice. Some Universities are saying they will settle for online classes, some might not reopen until the year 2021. So if you’re planning on giving away free rentals until September, think carefully. Plan for the possible long-term effect.
Hoping and praying for your Real Estate business is not enough. Think strategically and make sure you are updated with the news about the Universities near your place.
Plan wisely. Will you really spend thousands of dollars on converting your property to a student rental, knowing that classes won’t resume anytime soon?
Be extra cautious and strategic Real Estate Investors! Got doubts about your decisions? Visture Property Management Peterborough is here to help you achieve realistic goals and guide you through this Real Estate business. Message us so we can get started!

We’re very excited to unveil the “Riverside Project” and our before/after video. You can see from this video, everything was completely renovated, from top to bottom. Other than the outer shell, everything else was replaced with new, modern, up-to-date, fashionable materials. The lucky family that have rented these 2 units is very thankful for Visture Property Group’s commitment to helping with the housing crisis.
This building was a single family dwelling and now it’s a legal duplex with additional housing for additional families. Every little bit helps Peterborough.

Times are strange, times are unpredictable, and soon, times may be tough. It seems like on a daily basis, our government is making a public announcement declaring a new strategy to handle COVID-19. While we trust that these methods will surely help keep us Canadians healthy and safe, some of us to worry when it comes to financially supporting ourselves.
Please listen to the short video that we put together for you:
Early this week, our government listed the essential services that will be staying open during these uncertain times and thankfully, it is quite a long list. We recommend that you have a look so you can better determine whether or not your job or business will be affected for the foreseeable future.
This list is just as helpful when it comes to leaving your home. Please plan ahead and make thoughtful trips, and keep these outings to a minimum. Businesses are taking great measures of care to assure that exposure is at its lowest. So help them continue this effort by staying home if you are sick, ask for help where it’s offered and use all protective measures when out and about.
If your employment is affected, and you are facing reduced hours or job-loss for an undetermined amount of time, don’t fret because there are options to keep you on your feet. We at Visture Property Management understand that these circumstances are without rules and we are here to offer you a helping hand in finding you the support that you will need.
Trudeau took to the podium to announce the support that will be available to Canadians and just recently, with minor alterations, it has passed through legislation. This means that we are one step closer to having the support readily available to us.
On another good note, Ontario is stepping up and also providing some relief to us fellow Ontarians. These progressive measures include adapting the Emergency Assistance program to this pandemic, additional support to those already on Social Assistance, enforcing helpful steps in reducing the risk of catching and spreading the virus in the workplace, and financially aiding municipalities in creating support for you. Please review the positive steps our province and city is taking in the links below :
What does this mean to you, as a renter? Well, the government put a lot of thought behind their choices and while evictions are put on hold, they are not halting the eviction process. So, rather than renters across the country avoiding paying their rent and eventually ending up in large debts when this is all over, they are giving you some financial stability to keep our rent system running as normal as possible. On a daily basis, we monitor any information and updates that are released. We are dedicated to being informed about all the financial support that is available, and what may be best for your specific situation.
We want to work with you to get through these unstable times. So please reach out to us and open a line of communication if you think you may need help, not just with paying your rent but for anything that Visture Property Management can do for you!
In closing, please remember to practice good, basic hygiene such as:
Using soap around the home to wash your hands and counter tops it’s safer and healthier than using sanitizer.
Keeping a safe distance (6 feet/2 meters) will protect you.
Not inviting people in your personal living space
Don’t congregate in public areas unnecessarily. only for your immediate needs.
Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze
And a bit of common sense don’t hord there will be plenty for all of us if we buy just whaat we consume.
Be well and be safe

After nearly a year of dealing with the city and most recently the COVID19 challenges, we are thrilled that we will soon be able to help 2 families with some amazing housing in Peterborough.
Peterborough has had a housing shortage crisis for many years and we at Visture Property Group and Visture Property Management Peterborough are trying very hard to help good families have a great home.
This new property has been completely rebuilt from the ground up – it’s barely recognizable (see before/after pics). Having survived two fires this building needed the Visture Property Managmenet touch! Let’s just say we gave it A LOT of TLC. Everything is brand new including the infrastructure of the building.
The lower unit is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom premium apartment and the upper unit is a 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom apartment. Both apartments have the most amazing views with an incredible location. The green space and access to water is unprecedented being so close to down (15 minute walk to downtown).
More details will be released very soon (Including full before/after shots and wait until you see the inside pictures, oh la la) but for now if you’re interested in being considered for this apartment, please send us an email vpm@visture.ca
