toronto real estate: Toronto Real Estate-Did your agent tell you they charge a marketing fee to the Selling Agent?
- 05/14/09 02:41 AM
What is a real estate marketing fee? Simply put-it is an arbitrary amount of money a Listing Agent will charge a Selling Agent for helping him/her market the property they are listing on MLS. My question to the Seller is-why did you hire that Listing Agent if they were going to charge another agent to sell the listing? Did your agent disclose the fact that they were going to charge a marketing fee? Did you Mr./Mrs. Seller know that that marketing fee could negatively impact your listing, no showings or reduced shoings? The marketing fee is found on the Broker's portion of … (0 comments)

toronto real estate: Toronto Condo, Skymark 2 SOLD in 1 week OVER ASKING
- 03/23/09 11:05 PM
It is so important to list your properties at a price that will attract a lot of buyers. I carefully reviewd the most recent sales in the building. They were taking over two and a half months to sell. The listings had been reduced. My sellers did not want the condo to sit that long vacant with all the expenses to pay out. After careful consideration I took a listing in Skymark 2 for slightly under the last sale. The last sale in the building was $211,000 asking $215,000. reduced from $220,000. That unit had been totally renovated. My listing was … (1 comments)

toronto real estate: Home Staging or Interior Decorating? There is a difference.
- 02/09/09 07:34 AM
We would all agree the market has cooled down, which means our sellers have to go the extra mile to make sure their home gives a great first impression. Those homes that show well will sell faster and for a better price. A house must be prepared to sell both inside and out. There is a difference between interior decorating and staging. Interior decorating is all about making you feel comfortable and at home in your private space, surrounded by items that are your personal taste and momentos. Staging is about getting rid of clutter, making the home more marketable. In fact it is … (2 comments)
