Here’s A Guide To Avoid Costly Problems And Sell Your Home For Every Bit Of Its Worth In The Least Amount Of Time
The decision to place your home on the market can involve a number of stresses and strains. Many home sales are motivated by circumstances outside your control: Job relocation, family problems, financial issues, divorce, and more. Others are related to family issues: The need for a bigger home, a better neighborhood, schools, etc.
Unfortunately, The Way Many Sellers Go About Selling Their Home Leaves Them Wide Open To The Very Problems They’re Trying To Avoid.
When you’re getting ready to put your property on the market, there are a number of things to think about, to prepare for, and to organize. Here’s a list of seven costly pitfalls to look out for when selling your home:

Black Belt Negotiating for Homebuyers
Negotiating is like a martial arts contest where power, leverage and timing can mean the difference between winning and losing. For instance, a martial artist would never go into a contest without first knowing his opponent to find weaknesses. In the same way, you can gain bargaining power by doing your homework. When buying a house find out how long it's been on the market, why the owner is selling, if there have been previous offers and if you will be the only one making an offer at this time. Obviously, finding the answers to questions like these could save you a lot of money.

The Secret to Pricing Your Condo to Sell
Contrary to popular belief, when selling your home, it's value is determined by one thing and one thing only - what a qualified buyer is willing to pay for it. No more and no less. Sure, many sellers will argue that their home has an insurance replacement value, or an appraised value, or a tax assessed value, but unless your insurance agent, your banker, or your tax assessor is willing to write you a cheque for the home - guess what? It matters diddly squat. A home without a buyer has no value in the market place. Sure it might have a value to you, the seller, and it might have a value to your banker, and to your insurance agent, and to your appraiser.
But none of these people are buyers.
So here is the secret to pricing your home to sell - It's not what you think the home is worth that matters, it's what a reasonable buyer will think your home is worth that will ultimately determine if your home will sell.

Thinking About Buying a Condo in London Ontario?
|
|
Last weekend I was filling in for Buffy Tavares-Ellis our sales representative at Riverwest condos in  Riverbend and I was amazed at the questions I was asked at the open houses I did. The majority were about condo fees, what did they include and were there any restrictions with the units? All very valid questions which merit complete and accurate feedback.  Not one asked about a Status Certificate! A status certificate can be over 100 pages thick but basically it covers the financial status of the condo corporation, an engineers study of the structure (s) as far as replacement of windows, doors, roofs and other upkeep. When making an offer on a condo, ensure that your sales representatives puts in a staus certificate clause to protect you.

Can't Make a Decision To Buy Real Estate?

We all have been there and later say we should have or could have or have heard the stories, Here is a Buyer's lament that I feel covers it all: I hesitate to make a list
Of all the countless deals I've missed;
Bonanzas that were in my grip -
I watched them through my fingers slip;
The windfalls which I Should have bought
were lost because I over-thought;
I thought of this, I thought of that,
I could have sworn I smelled a rat,
And while I thought things over twice,
Another grabbed them at the price,
It seemed I always hesitate,
Then make my mind up much too late,
Avery cautious man am I And that is why I never buy. When tracts rose high on
Sixth and Third,
The prices asked I felt absurd;
Whole block-fronts bleak and black with soot-
Were priced at thirty bucks a foot!
I wouldn't even make a bid,
But others did -- yes, others did!
When Tucson was cheap desert land,
I could have had a hip of sand;
When Phoenix was the place to buy,
I thought the climate much too dry!
"Invest in Dallas-That's the spot!"
My sixth sense warned me I should not,
A very prudent man am I And that is why I never buy. A corner here, then acres there,
Compounding values year by year,
I chose to think and as I thought,
They bought the deals I should have bought.
The Golden chances I had then
Are lost and will not come again,
Today I can not be enticed
For everything's so overpriced.
The deals of yesteryear are dead;
The market's soft -- so's my head! Last night I had a fearful dream,
I know I wakened with a scream;
Some Indians approached my bed --
For trinkets on the barrelhead,
(In dollar bills worth twenty-four,
And nothing less and nothing more),
They'd sell Manhattan Isle to me,
The most I'd go was twenty-three.
The redman scowled: "Not on a bet!"
And sold to Peter Minuit. At times a teardrop drowns my eye
For deals I had, but did not buy;
And now life's saddest words I pen
"If only I'd invested then!" As you can see, you are not alone. I can help you through the decision process with facts and research, you are in charge of your emotions. If that works for you, let's get together. Ty |
How to Buy a Condo the Easy Way!

Avoid 10 Common Potentially Devastating Mistakes Condo Buyers Make. Buying a condo can be a “hair rising “experience. It can be a roller coaster of emotions …. Finding the right place…. Securing a mortgage….. moving in. And, if you’re like most of us, your home will be your largest investment. The emotions over such a large and personal purchase can often cloud good business judgment. Many condo buyers do very little research before “diving in” and investing their hard-earned money. Before doing that, doesn’t it make sense to be as informed as possible? That is what the following is all about. It’s designed to help you avoid 10 common, critical mistakes many condo buyers make. If you follow these 10 suggestions, with the help of the right real estate professional, you’ll make a good sound business decision that you’ll be happy and proud of for years to come. 1. Inspect, Inspect and Inspect: Go over the inspection report with a fine tooth comb. Make sure the report was done by a professional home inspector. For condo purchases, go over the Status Certificate; go over the by-laws and association fees. Don’t take anything for granted… inspect everything! 2. Imagine the property vacant: Your furnishings and decorations will be the ones filling this new residence. Don’t be swayed by beautiful furniture….it leaves with the owner. 3. Income Plus Lifestyle Equals Mortgage Payment: Sit down with a competent real estate professional and honestly discuss your income level and living expenses. Take into account future considerations like: children, add-ons, amenities or fix-ups. Your dream home is certainly worth a sacrifice but don’t mortgage your future. 4. View Several Condos: See at least 3-5 properties. Don’t move on the first property you see but….don’t move too slowly either. With our help, you’ll be able to view enough properties to get a good overall perspective of your market. And when you find the right property, all the leg work will be worth it. 5. Utilize Your Team: By aligning yourself with the right real estate professional, you’ll have an entire team working for you. Top real estate professionals have lenders, inspection teams, appraisers, lawyers, trades people, cleaners….an entire group of trained professionals making the whole buying experience simple and easy for you. 6. Be Columbo…Be CSI: Check out all your costs and expense before you sign: utilities, cable, taxes, and insurance, maintenance and homeowner dues, if applicable. Make sure all utilities are on (gas, electricity, and water), so you can inspect everything is in working order, Ask lots of questions and be very detail conscious. 7. Do a Final Walk-Through Before Closing: Visit the property after all the furnishings have been moved out to be sure there are no surprises. Be absolutely sure the property is as exactly as you had agreed upon when the offer was accepted. Many times, things are unintentionally overlooked that could have been spotted in a final walk-through. 8. Plan for Flexibility: Closing dates are not written in stone. Allow for contingencies and have a back-up plan. If you or the sellers need a little more time to conclude the final arrangements, don’t let these delays upset or frustrate you. These types of circumstances are not uncommon in a real estate transaction; however, with a great real estate professional and his/her teams, this will seldom occur. 9. If It’s Not In Writing, It Doesn’t Exist: All promises and discussions are to be in writing. Don’t make any assumptions or believe any assurances. Even the best intentions can be misinterpreted. Have your real estate professional keep an ongoing log (in writing) of all discussions, and get the seller’s written approval for all agreements. 10. Loyalty Breeds Loyalty: Be open, honest and up-front with your team. Hard feelings and disloyalty will cause headaches, delays or may even keep you from getting into the home you worked so hard to locate. Take the time to select the right real estate professional in the beginning and your home purchase will be a simple, easy and profitable experience you’ll have fond memories of…for years to come. My hope with the above information has been to educate you and help you avoid the pitfalls many condo buyers go through. I hope you find these ideas valuable and impress upon you that we at Envelope Real Estate take the buying and selling of real estate very seriously and have implemented many checks and balances to ensure your purchase is hassle free. Your initial consultation is always completely free of charge and you’re under no obligation of any kind. We’ll sit down for 15-20 minutes…no high-pressure, just plain, honest talk about what it’s going to take to achieve your personal goals. Go ahead, pick up the phone and give us a call at 519-435-1600.  |
