IF ONLY... THERE WERE MORE CLIENTS LIKE THIS ONEAbout 8 years ago I listed a home in a very high end neighbourhood, close to $1,000,000.. the home was beautifully, and tastefully deocrated with warm neutral tones, a very harmonious atmosphere.  It had all the amenities you would expect in a home in this price range. The front doors alone were $10,000!!  Get the picture???  It also had great curb appeal which helped.Before I arrived on Sunday evening to list the property, the clients spent the entire weekend ensuring the house showed like a model home!!  Wow, I was very impressed… I didn’t have to do a thing, the lady of the house did a terrific job and added little touches that enhanced the already warm and inviting atmosphere.After a few days on the market I had some feedback from two ...

Get a Mortgage Pre-Approval BEFORE You Look For Your Next HomeAn important ingredient in a successful home search is knowing how much you can afford. You don’t want to fall in love with a property only to find out it’s outside your price range.Before you contact your Real Estate Agent to book appointments to go and view some properties, it is highly recommended you talk with your Bank or a Mortgage Broker to get a pre approved mortgage.That’s why I recommend getting a Mortgage Pre-Approval. This is a document from your bank or other lender stating how much of a mortgage they are willing to give you. There are several advantages to getting this pre-approval:The Benefits of a Pre-Approval It gives you the peace-of-mind of knowing you can afford homes you view on the market, and won’t have...

Things to Consider and Critical Mistakes to AvoidWhen Choosing a Realtor®Selling a home should be like any other business transaction, but all too often sellers make emotional or impulsive decisions that cost them money and time.  Choosing the right Realtor to market a property and negotiate the sale is the most important step in the process. “My friend (or family member) sells real estate.”Friendship alone isn’t enough to establish a professional’s credentials.  Use tough standards when selecting an agent, just as you would when hiring an attorney, a doctor, or an accountant to handle your taxes.  A true friend will understand and appreciate that this is a business decision and will offer their credentials and expect to compete for the listing.  Besides, if a problem or challenge devel...
