Finding a tenant who won't let you down can require a blend of knowledge, intuition, and a little help from the professionals...Few landlords now accept anyone on face value. Worried about landing themselves with "tenants from hell" most landlords screen and verify prospects' details. It is vital to find out if applicants are who they claim to be, can afford the rent and won't turn your house into the headquarters of a satanic cult, but before you call in the experts, you can start the filtering process yourself.

ladner: Tips for the Spring Selling Season
- 04/09/09 07:24 AM
If you're staging your home for sale, don't neglect your garden. If you are preparing to put your home on the market, that means that you not only have to stage your home's interior to impress potential buyers, but you have to spruce up your yard, too. Although many sellers in today's market hope that a drift of daffodils will clinch a deal, in truth, plants can hurt a home's curb appeal as much as they can help it. For instance, a drift of wild, weedy onions hidden in the grass can make a newly mowed lawn smell like a gas … (1 comments)

ladner: DON’T COMPARE… COMPETE!
- 12/11/08 08:54 AM
As you prepare to list your home "For Sale", you'll need to determine how to set your asking price. You may come across the idea of "Comparative Market Analysis" [CMA], which is used as a tool for evaluating the perceived market value of your home. However, as a seller, you should think of that informal appraisal more as a COMPETITIVE Market Analysis.Why? Because comparisons can be very subjective, and while buyers may "compare" several homes, sellers must "compete" against other properties. No matter how unique you believe your home to be, it doesn't really matter how it compares to others until … (0 comments)
