  • Buying A New Home, Inspection Services - If you’re considering the purchase of a home in the near future it is highly recommended that a proper and professional home inspection takes place. There are home inspection companies found in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Cloverdale, Langley Abbotsford or anywhere else in BC. It is sad to see how many people complete the process of purchasing a home and do not take the time for a home inspection. The cost of having a home inspector could literally save you thousands in costs after you have made the purchase. Just because a home appears to be does not mean it is structurally sound. A clean and tidy house is not always a home that doesn’t have problems.
  • How To Understand The Real Estate Bottom - Well it’s true we would all like to have a crystal ball that predicts the future of the real estate market. There are some tools that the experts use that help explain the trends of the market.
  • Resell Value In BC - British Columbia has an abundance of mountains, streams, lakes and rivers. With such sought after landscaping it has become an attractive location for real estate investors worldwide. When buying a home in this province it is important to stand out from the others.
  • The Difference Between Listing And Selling Agents - Are you thinking of buying or selling a home? Just like a coin, there are two sides to every real estate transaction.

It also depends on your lender, your loan amount and term, and your personal credit history.
  • Buying a Home - Business Cycle - When the economy is good people are confident with their financial future. They tend to spend money on going out to dinner, buying cars and buying houses. The world moves in predictable patterns and we all know that what comes up, must come down. In any healthy economy there is always a slow down. This is caused from corporate lay off’s, change in exports/imports or our surrounding companies that are suffering economic down turn. If the economy slows down enough, we get a recession. A recession usually means that fewer people will qualify for a mortgage. Despite these situations there are always people who need to buy or sell their home.
  • Is Buying A Good Idea? - Are you thinking about buying a home but not sure about the benefits? Well if you haven’t bought a home then you’re probably renting. Renters are limited to the amount of improvements they can make to they’re unit. Painting the wall to their tastes, changing the flooring or updating the kitchen all must be approved by the landlord or property manager. It also wouldn’t make much sense to invest your hard earned money into a rental property as it only benefits the landlord and not yourself. The landlords’ objective is to keep cost down and profit up.
  • Making Your Home Anonymous - If you’ve ever talked to a realtor about selling your home, they will often refer to your home as a house. One of top reasons for hiring a realtor is the fact that they aren’t emotionally attached to the home. There’s lots of competition out there with other well priced homes on the market. Your goal is to have the best home with the best price. Thinking of your home as a marketable commodity is the mind set sellers should be in. Your home should take on the role of newly constructed homes in your area.
  • Listing Your Home, Show Your Home - If you’ve listed your home on the market, congratulations! When your home is on the market you’re employing several hundred buyers’ agents in your surrounding areas. The listed home must be shown even if it’s inconvenient for your schedule. An agent will likely ask for you to place a lock box on your front door, side of the house or hydro meter. This convenient box will allow for buyers agents to show your property when you’re not home. If you decide not to have a lock box easily accessible, agents will have to make an appointment. This inconvenience often times causes buyers agents to skip your home and show properties that have easy access.
  • Open Houses and MLS - After you have met with your listing agent and discussed all of the paper work, it’s time to get started with marketing. Your agent will most likely hold an open house to help promote your property. An open house is like a neighbourhood announcement.

This sign will include the company you have chosen to list with; company logo’s and phone numbers. Signs in the front yard are a fantastic way to acquire leads. When someone sees a phone number and makes a call, a live person should answer. The call should never ever go to an answering machine. The phone number should be directed to the real estate office so that a professional greeting is given straight away.
  • How Listing Agents Sell A Home - Have you purchased a home? If you did you probably enlisted the help of a licensed realtor. This realtor probably emailed your recently posted listings, showed you listings and advised you on the pros and cons of purchasing certain homes. Eventually when you’ve decided on a piece of property, you place an offer. The deal is approved and you move into your new home. After a year or more you have decided to move from your current home into something else.
  • Real Estate Agent A Salesperson? - People that are looking to buy or sell real estate often think of real estate agents as a sales person. There’s no doubt that many agents in today’s real estate world would be enthusiastic about being only a salesperson. But because of the serious nature of selling a piece of real estate, this is not the case. A real estate agent is responsible to their clients more than a salesperson could ever be. They have specialized training and are relied on for their expert advice and opinions. This responsibility is called “fiduciary duty.” This term refers to how agents are responsible to act in the best interest of their clients.
  • Listing Contract, What You Should Know - Are you thinking of listing your home for sale? Great! The real estate market here in Canada has managed to stay strong despite surrounding economic hardships. On the listing contract there are many details that are included. When listing your home the most important detail you should be concerned with is the price. Having a basic idea of what your home is worth is a great start. Most people keep track of surrounding home sales in their neighbourhood.
  • Multiple Listing Service In BC - When you’re meeting with a local realtor, it should be discussed if your home will be listed on MLS. Buyers here in British Columbia almost always look to MLS as a resource to buy homes. The power behind having your home listed on MLS stems from the fact that you are now employing several hundred real estate agents that have potential buyers seeking homes. More exposure on your listing equals a higher chance of selling the home. Often times this is where a For Sale by Owner listing fails. They simply do not have a large enough audience. A listing agent should also place a “for sale” sign in the yard and hold open houses.
  • Are You A First Time Abbotsford Homebuyer? - Are you taking your first look at being a homeowner in Abbotsford, British Columbia?
  • Types Of Real Estate Listings Available - When you think about selling your home you can have a few different options presented to you from a licensed realtor. A person that lists their home as a For Sale by Owner may consider using an open listing. This is when a realtor brings a qualified buyer and if the deal completes, the agent receives a commission. An open listing is not exclusive to the agent and doesn’t hold the owner responsible for a commission if the buyer is not represented by that realtor. The disadvantage of using an open listing is that your home will not be placed on the Multiple Listing Service.
  • Selling Price Is Too High! - If you’re thinking of listing your home on today’s market, congratulations! Canada has some of the best real estate markets in the world. If you have a good idea of what your home is worth, you’ll probably make a few appointments with your local realtors. When you call a realtor they will most likely offer you a free market evaluation. This evaluation will include homes that have recently sold in your area, similar to your home.
  • Exterior Of The House, When Selling - Real Estate agents here in Canada will always suggest working on the outside as a priority. First start with the inside of your home and make necessary changes without running into overcasts. Work from the inside of the house outward into the landscaping. Think of your home as a house. Detach yourself from the emotions of your home and make your house a valuable and marketable commodity. First impressions are based on curb appeal. This term refers to how well the landscaping looks along with the outside of the home. Take a walk and look at your home from across the street.
  • Preparing Your Home For Sale - Keep your cost down when fixing up your home for sale. It’s not necessary to do a major remodelling project in order to get a fair value for your home. Charging up credit cards and acquiring loans is also not advisable during this period of selling your home. Charging up credit cards could affect your ability to purchase a home. So what will you do when your home is sold, but you don’t have enough room on your credit report for a purchase? Sounds like a step backwards.
