real estate: Referrals - what's good for the goose... - 01/26/07 10:03 AM
If you are looking at moving to a new community fairly far from your present home, even if it's in the same large city, don't be afraid to ask your trusted real estate agent for a referral rather than working with them directly. If the area you are moving to is not one that your existing agent is familiar with, then the responsible thing for them to do is to offer you two or three options of agents they trust for you to check out, and hopefully hire one, who are local to the neighbourhood or town. This way you will … (0 comments)

real estate: Looking to update your web site? - 12/21/06 09:33 PM
Websites have changed dramatically over teh last few years - a point that was driven home when I began to discuss the cost of sites with an associate who was still using the same site he'd set up in the late 90's. Not only was the site ineffective by this point, and lacking many of the newer useful features visitors are looking for today, but it was costing him a small fortune and he coudn't do any of the work himself.
This is the problem with technology and the small business person. Yo get too busy to pay close enough attention and … (0 comments)

real estate: For Sale By Owners (FSBOs) - beware, it's a tough haul in a HOT market! - 09/25/06 04:55 PM
Attention all home sellers going it on their own! First off, congratulations, selling real estate is really pretty exciting stuff. There's always opportunity lying just around the corner. But, when the real estate is your own, then there's more than opportunity you are looking for - you need results! Now yes, I AM an agent, but I'm not here to simply say LIST WITH ME (though I'd be happy to do so of course... ;o) What I am here to let you know about is all the wide and varied avenues you have available to sell your home so you can … (1 comments)

real estate: To dip or not to dip... that is the question. Isn't it?!? - 09/11/06 11:54 AM
If you are a first time buyer, you may be getting advice to dip into your RRSPs in order to help you with a down-payment. But those are your retirement savings! And besides, you have to pay them back anyway - how does doing this make any sense!?!
Well, it does, but it takes some mental gymnastics to see how sometimes. First off, you are still borrowing the money because you do have to pay it back... to yourself. But you are borrowing it at 0% interest and no bank, credit union or other mortgage source will be offering you anything near … (1 comments)

real estate: Is it a buyer's or a seller's market? - 08/22/06 11:11 PM
The question I get a lot these days is "has this finally become a buyer's market?" to which I invariably answer... "Well, yes, sort of... but not really. It's hard to say."
Now if this sounds a little inexact or confusing, well, then you understood me perfectly. The fact is, it certainly isn't the seller's market it once was, but it isn't exactly a buyer's market either. In fact, right about now there is as close to a balance between the two parties (in a broad sense) as you'll ever likely see. So - what to do then? If you're a buyer, … (2 comments)
