keller williams: Tips for selling your home - check your basement
- 10/19/09 05:39 AM
It's always a good idea to have your house ready when you are selling. One of the areas that is sometimes overlooked is your basement. We figure that it's just another extra space that clients might not really care about. In my opinion it's an asset for many people looking at homes, specially if they have teenage kids. It could be the perfect retreat for them.
The basement is also where your foundation is important for your home.
Make sure to look at the walls, inside and out & address any issues you can see. Look for cracks, water seepage, efflorescence, … (2 comments)

Another quick few tips to help ell your home quickly a for top dollar.
One area in your home that you should really pay close attention to is the kitchen and bathrooms. These rooms are the rooms that are used every single day by your entire family. Countertops and flooring in these rooms could need some attention.
In the kitchen, make sure to clean all your appliances to make them sparkle. Clean the cabinets inside and out, people will be looking in your cabinets. Any faucet that is leaking should also be replaced or fixed.

keller williams: The Nitro gets a new look !!
- 10/08/09 11:04 AM
It is finally done, my Nitro is now wrapped.
It has been a long time since I wanted to get my Nitro wrapped. I had K6media here in Ottawa wrap my vehicle. I wanted to be able to brand myself but I also wanted to be able to use this form of advertising to also promote my listings. I have never seen anyone do this type of marketing but I thought it would be a very good idea.
I can brand myself AND promote listings. If you look at the vehicle you can definitely see my branding but the two rear … (4 comments)

keller williams: For Sale By Owner - pros and cons
- 10/08/09 12:14 AM
So you are thinking of selling your home but don't want to use a professional Real Estate Agent.
Many agents would not agree with me but it can be done. If you are lucky and the time is on your side it could possibly work. You just have to be aware of what you are getting yourself into before doing it. I have noticed that if your house is not sold in the first week or so it probably won't sell privately. I am not saying that it can work for everyone but some people do try and some are successful … (2 comments)

There are many tips out there on what is the best thing to do to your home. You don't have to spend a lot of money sometimes but in my opinion one of the items you should get … (1 comments)

keller williams: Let's turn on some lights
- 10/06/09 02:51 PM
I know that many of you might not want to hear this, but fall is here and winter is not far behind. The leaves are changing colors, the evenings are colder and the sun is not here as long as it used to be. When you have showings after 6:00 pm, please make sure that you leave some lights on for the agents to show your home. Specially the outside light on the front porch. It is getting a bit darker and sometimes it makes it easier to open the lock boxes. We are fortunate here in Ottawa because many of … (5 comments)

keller williams: Ottawa Real Estate still going strong!
- 10/06/09 01:24 PM
Another great month for real estate in the Ottawa area. Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 1,220 residential properties in September 2009 compared to 1,204 from last year. This is an increase of 1.3%. 948 residential properties were sold and 272 of those were condos.
“September was another record-breaking month for Ottawa resale home sales, capping off a very busy and active summer for Ottawa Real Estate Board members,” said Board President Rick Snell.
“Inventory levels rose from last month but remain lower than in September 2008, and that low supply coupled with continued strong demand for resale housing … (0 comments)

keller williams: Home Renovation Tax Credit
- 10/02/09 02:05 AM
I received this pamphlet yesterday in my mailbox at home, reminding me of the Home Renovation Tax Credit. This is a nicely created piece that helps you keep organized to keep all your receipts in one place in order for you to be able to get the $1,350 of savings for home improvements purchased before February 10, 2010.
You can get additional details on their web site ( http://www.actionplan.gc.ca ). I think it's a great way to stimulate the economy, get renovations done in your home and save up to $1,350.00. It's better to have it in your pocket than in … (1 comments)

keller williams: When should I put my house on the market
- 09/30/09 11:34 PM
This is one of the most often heard questions. People always try to "time" the market perfectly. Now is the time to do it.
" Sure, sure you're just trying to get the listing so you (the real estate agent) can make money! " Actually that is not the case. It's always a good time to put your house on the market because buyers are out looking at houses 12 months of the year. Everyone has different time lines, life experiences and needs change on a regular basis. If you are being transferred, get a new job, family issues, life changes … (4 comments)
