fsbo: Prepare Your Home For Winter - Do It Now While The Weather Is Good - 09/12/08 05:14 PM
Here are some tips to prepare your home for winter.
Check your insulation. You should consider R-30 to be the minimum. Generally older homes do not meet their requirements, therefore some should be added. Clean all eaves troughs of leaves and debris. Make sure water can flow freely. Check to see if any troughs are loose and if so, secure them. Contact a heating contractor and have your heating system checked. Make sure there is a new filter installed. Outdoor faucets should be shut off and drained. Chimneys should be cleaned and inspected. If this has not been done in awhile, … (0 comments)

Private sales of real estate in Canada amount to 25% of the market. This number surprises a lot of people, however statistics will verify it.

The builders representative drafted an offer which contained a condition for a few days to allow your lawyer to review it. If you accepted the agreement, you proceeded with the purchase.

fsbo: How To Work With Real Estate Offers When Selling - 08/31/08 03:25 PM
Selling real estate is a very traumatic time. This is especially true when it comes time to deal with an offer. You are about to sign an agreement that commits you to a sale in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Then a buyer comes along and presents you with an insult, not an offer. You will get situations like this whether you are listed with a real estate broker or selling privately. There is no way to avoid it. You have to understand some buyers feel they have to start low to get their best price. This is a misconception … (1 comments)

fsbo: Use Our Experience When Selling Your Home Privately - 08/26/08 06:40 PM
Remember the day that you drove into a gas station, pulled up to the pumps and an old guy came sauntering out? He was in a pair of coveralls and was wiping his hands on one of those cloths the mechanics use. He would walk up to you and say ‘good day, fill-er-up?' You would answer and he would then proceed to pump the gas, clean your windshield then tell you to pop the hood so he could check the oil. He would even check your tire pressure and top them up if necessary.
Now picture pulling into a station but … (0 comments)

fsbo: How To Handle Multiple Offers When Buying Or Selling Real Estate - 08/26/08 02:32 PM
In some markets, multiple offers can show up whether you are buying or selling real estate. As a seller it is a pleasant experience, while buyers have a different set of emotions to deal with.
Sellers love situations like this. They have 2 or more buyers interested in their home. It is not uncommon for the top bidder to pay the asking price or more. In some areas, the selling price can be tens of thousands of dollars more than they were asking.
The buyer has spent weeks, even months to find the perfect home. They have lost sleep trying to … (2 comments)

fsbo: When Is The Best Time To Sell Your Home - 08/26/08 01:43 PM
A question we get asked a lot is when is the best time to sell a home. Unfortunately there is really no correct answer. There are years where there is neither a spring or fall market. Sometimes the summer of even the winter is very active.
In real estate there are generally 2 markets; spring and fall. You can expect spring to be the strongest. This is due to owners selling and moving in the summer when the kids are out of school. Others might sell in the fall and move over the Christmas break.
This question is generally asked for … (0 comments)

fsbo: Why The Internet Will Help The FSBO Market To Continue To Grow - 08/24/08 04:21 PM
The internet is a teenager. In terms of years, it is in its early teens. Although it seems like it has been around for decades, it is still in its early years.
The ‘information highway' has certainly changed the way we live. Online we can shop, book vacations and flights, sell stuff, watch movies, download music, email and find directions to where we want to go. The question is what is there that we cannot do on the internet.
Years ago, the problem real estate owners had selling privately was marketing their property to potential buyers. They could run an ad … (0 comments)

fsbo: Pets And How They Can Affect Your Home - 08/19/08 08:23 PM
Most people like pets. I am referring to cats and dogs. They are cute, cuddly and make great company.
If you are a pet owner, there are some precautions that should be taken if selling a home now or in the future. Here are a few ideas that might help.
Bathe the pet on a regular basis. Some develop a body odor which can result in an unpleasant smell in the home. Keep their bedding and food dishes clean. These can create an odor as well. If your pet uses the back yard as a potty, scoop on a daily basis, … (0 comments)

fsbo: Protect Your Investment - Do Not Smoke In Your Home - 08/19/08 03:53 PM
Smoking in a home will do a lot of damage two ways. The smell will become imbedded in the furniture, carpets and drapes. Smoke will discolor walls and furniture.
If the home has a forced air heating and air conditioning system, it will circulate the smoke through the home. Although you think you are confining it to one room, the smoke will be distributed throughout the home when the system is running. Over time the duct work will hold the odor.
Many buyers are turned off by homes that have been smoked in. They cannot stand the smell and also realize … (0 comments)

fsbo: Can A Real Estate Agent Really Get 26% More Money When They Sell A House? - 08/19/08 12:14 PM
There is a post on Activerain where the blogger claims that a real estate agent will get about 26% more for a house than the For Sale By Owner seller will.
Lets do some math. A Realtor sells a property for $300,000 which is market value. Based on the above statement, the FSBO seller will only get $238,095 for the same home. That's a lot of money to give away.
Obviously this statement is not correct. I am currently trying to obtain a copy of the report that makes this claim. How can you even start to compile a statistic like … (0 comments)

fsbo: Mortgage Broker Wants A Fee However The Buyer Is Not Able To Come Up With It - 08/17/08 04:09 PM
In some cases, a mortgage broker will require a fee to arrange a mortgage. This is generally done when the borrower has a poor credit rating. The broker will have to do additional work to make sure a loan is in place for the buyer.
The home buyer may not have the mortgage broker's fee. Since their credit rating is less than perfect, coming up with the minimum down payment could be a struggle. They also have their real estate lawyer's fees and other closing costs to accumulate.
The way to handle a situation like this is to insert a clause … (1 comments)
