  The market remains brisk in the Toronto and Greater Toronto area due to a lack of inventory… not enough houses on the market right now. That along with the low interest rates, makes it a Seller’s market right now… too many Buyers.. not enough listings. Great situation for Sellers but if you are a not selling a property and are a first time home buyer, you must be careful not to overpay on a home you are submitting an offer for. I have had many buyers who refuse to even participate when this occurs, but they could be missing out on an opportunity to buy the home they want. Just because there are multiple offers doesn’t mean you have to over spend…I counsel my Buyers to put forth their best offer that falls within their budget and comfort level. Since the other offers remain confidenti...

POWER OF SALE PROPERTIES WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BUYING Over the course of my 27+ years as a real estate agent, I have been on the listing/selling side, and representing buyers who wish to purchase a home listed under Power of Sale. I sold a property in STREETSVILLE recently which was under Power of Sale and I had many clients and perspective buyers asking me about Power of Sale properties because they think they can “get a good deal” and potentially purchase the property at less than market value.  This is a misconception many people have and I would like to point out exactly what you should be aware if you are consdiering the purchase of a property under Power of Sale so you can make an informed decision. That isn’t always the case, as the Bank or Financial Institution must sell t...

What do you do with your clients when you are on vacation, or away for a few days? Do you tell them you are going away?  Do you not tell them and hope no one needs you while you are gone? We all need a break from time to time, and one important decision facing you before you take that well deserved break... is "who is going to take care of my clients in my absence?" Who will handle my phone calls?  Who will take a client out to view a property they want to see?  Who will write up an offer on a property my clients want to buy?  What if someone wants to list their home in your absence? If you are not there, it is imperative you make arrangements with another agent to take care of your clients.  If you don't and they want to act on something in your absence, they will go to another agent. ...

As reported by Mark Weisleder  in The Toronto Star Here are 10 ways to prepare yourself. 1. Be prepared The best way to avoid this is to be prepared when you buy a home. This means doing research and finding the right agent - should you choose to use one - and other professionals to protect your interests. 2. Why an agent is a good idea Agents give you objective advice about what a home is worth. The agent will also have connections to lenders and home inspectors to ensure you get the best mortgage rate and that the home is properly inspected before you buy. They will also be able to explain the fine print of any agreement so you know what to expect on closing. Although it is not mandatory to use an agent to represent your interests, you will not have the benefit of the advice and exper...

I think many sellers are of the opinion that once a realtor has listed their home for sale, they can sit back and expect their home to sell without giving much thought to the fact that they have to be an active participant… Here is an excerpt from my booklet for Sellers “A Real Estate Guide for Sellers” where I outline things they need to be cognizant of to assist their realtor, and themselves, in a successful sale. Make Your Home Accessible Having your home accessible to prospective Buyers as much as possible, is critical in the sale of your home.  Agents try to give as much notice as possible for requests to show your home, but there are times when last minute requests do occur.  Granting requests as much as possible is desirable ... the request you turn away may be the purchaser you'...
