      <title>What You Need to Know About Lots</title>
      <description>When shopping for a new home, one of the most important considerations – yet one most people don’t pay enough attention to – is the lot type. Selecting the right one can significantly increase your enjoyment of the home. Picking the wrong one can have the opposite effect. &lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/688472/688472_original.png"&gt;There are three special types of lots that homeowners tend to find most desirable. Yet, even though they are considered desirable, each has its pros and cons.Here’s the rundown on each one:Cul de sacs  These are lots located on dead end streets that often feature homes positioned around a large circle of roadway. For obvious reasons, a cul de sac is a popular choice for buyers with children. There’s less traffic and often, the only cars on the street are those of neighbours. However, homes on these lots often come with a higher price tag than other comparable properties in the area. But, from a lifestyle standpoint, that extra price may be more than worth it.Quiet streets Who doesn’t want a home on a quiet street? The benefits are obvious. However, don’t dismiss properties located on or near a busy street. They often sell for less and the noise from traffic may not be as bothersome as you might expect. In fact, some neighbourhoods in these areas feature special soundproof fencing. If the home is otherwise ideal, schedule a viewing to judge the noise level for yourself.Corner lots These are often larger and therefore provide you with more space. Plus, with the look of two front lawns, there’s twice the potential for curb appeal, and therefore the opportunity to increase the property’s value. On the downside, kids may shortcut across your front lawn to get to the adjacent sidewalk.

      <title>Pretend You’re A Buyer</title>
      <description>An effective technique to help you sell your property quickly and for the best price is to put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer. Don’t just visualize this. Actually do it!&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/688289/688289_original.jpg"&gt;Drive to your property and imagine that you’re seeing it for the first time. What’s your impression? Is the landscaping attractive? Are the walkways clear? Is the front door welcoming?Now walk up to the front door, open it, and step inside. Does the foyer seem neat and uncluttered? Is there anything unsightly from that vantage point?Take a walk through your home, starting in rooms that a potential buyer would predictably view first: the kitchen, living room and bedrooms. Do you notice anything you could change or improve, that would make those areas more appealing?Next, check out the washrooms, closets and basement. Are they clean and tidy?Finally, think about the price you want for the home. As a buyer, would you be enticed to make an offer at that level? Are there any nagging doubts about the property that would hold you back?Understanding the impression your home will make on potential buyers will help you sell it faster.

      <title>Sell Your Home Faster With An Outdoor Makeover</title>
      <description>When you put your home on the market, it’s important that you make the indoor living space as attractive as possible to potential buyers. The foyer should look spacious and inviting. The bedrooms, neat and uncluttered. The basement, clean and well lit.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/687878/687878_original.jpg"&gt;All good advice.But don’t forget the outdoor living space. That too has a significant impact on how quickly your home sells and for how much. You want to make the area around your property, from the front walkway to the backyard deck, as attractive as possible.How do you do that? Here are some tips for sprucing up your outdoor living space that can be easily implemented.
Trim the hedges. Like a haircut, it gives your landscaping a clean, styled look.
Place flower pots in strategic locations, such as next to the front steps and on the deck or patio.
Fix anything that’s loose or squeaking, such as fence gates, shutters and deck railings.
Remove anything unsightly, like garbage bags and piles of garden cuttings.
Sweep all walkways, especially the one leading to your front door.
Wash the outsides of your windows. (No need for ladders, buckets and scrub brushes. Most home improvement stores now sell window washing kits that hook up to your garden hose.)
Check to make sure everything works: water taps, electrical outlets, exterior lights, etc.
You can probably get most of this work done in a single weekend. It’s worth it. Making your outdoor living space look great will dramatically increase your home’s appeal to potential buyers.Looking for a good REALTOR®?Call Marina 416-843-1515 today.  Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>The #1 Ingredient Needed To Sell Your Home Quickly</title>
      <description>There’s a long list of ingredients needed to sell your home quickly. Obviously, you want to make your home as clean and uncluttered as possible. You should also make sure any outstanding repairs are done. And, of course, all the little things you can do to make your home “show” well are important, too.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/687815/687815_original.jpg"&gt;But the number one ingredient needed to sell your home quickly is the right price tag. If you set the price of your home just right, buyers will come to see it, and there’s a good chance you’ll get some good offers. If you price your home too high, however, few buyers will take an interest in your property and it might languish on the market for months. Worse, it might not sell at all.So how do you determine the right price at which to list your home?One of the best ways is to do an analysis of what similar properties in your area have sold for recently. What people are actually paying for homes like yours — in communities like yours — is the best indicator of the true market value of your home.Looking for a good REALTOR®?Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>Dealing With A Home Inspection Issue</title>
      <description>As you may know, it’s common to include a home inspection as a condition of an offer you make. It protects you from issues that you might not otherwise see during a viewing.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/687432/687432_original.png"&gt;What do you do if the home inspector finds something wrong? The inspector might find a leak in the foundation, or windows that are old, drafty and need replacing.Must you pass on a property that you otherwise like?Not necessarily. Just because the home inspector discovered a deficiency doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t purchase the home. You should, however, bring the issue up with the seller.Your REALTOR® will do that on your behalf, and look after your interests.In many circumstances, your REALTOR® will be able to negotiate an agreement that is satisfactory to everyone involved. This will usually be in the form of a reduction in the sale price to cover some or all of the costs of the repair, or a requirement to have the seller get the repairs done before you move in.So don’t worry if the inspector finds something wrong. Chances are you can still get the home and have any issues dealt with to your satisfaction.Looking for a good REALTOR®?Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>Home Shopping And The Four-Legged Stool</title>
      <description>What kind of stool is most likely to keep you from toppling over when you sit on it? Of course, two-legged stools won’t even stand on their own. Three-legged stools are okay, but still unstable. Four-legged stools are rock solid.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/687342/687342_original.png"&gt;What does that have to do with shopping for a new home?Well, if you want to find the right home quickly and for the best price, you need to have four things in place – the four legs of the stool. They will help ensure the experience goes smoothly.The first leg is your wish list. You need to have a clear picture of the type of home you want. A bungalow or two stories? How many bedrooms? A large deck? Don’t forget about the neighbourhood. Need to be close to major highways for ease of commuting? Need good schools and playgrounds within walking distance?The second leg is a pre-approved mortgage. Getting the financing handled upfront takes the guesswork out of what you can afford. Sellers and their REALTORS® are more likely to take any offers you make more seriously too.The third leg is realistic expectations. Of homes that sell, 99% sell at or near their current market values. That doesn’t mean you can’t find a good deal. It does mean you’re unlikely to find a “steal”. Fortunately, there are likely several wonderful properties available within your price range.The final leg of the stool is a great REALTOR®. Choosing the right real estate professional is crucial to making your home shopping experience less stressful and more productive.So when you’re hunting for a new home, make sure you start with a stable “four-legged stool”. It will dramatically increase your chances of finding a home that fits your needs and budget.Need help with that?

      <title>Make Two Wish Lists When Shopping For A New Home</title>
      <description>When shopping for a new home, create a wish list of the features and characteristics you want. After all, there’s no sense looking at properties with kitchenettes when you won’t settle for anything less than a full-sized kitchen that Julia Child would envy.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/686999/686999_original.png"&gt;But there are probably some features that are nice-to-haves but not must-haves. For example, you might like a large wrap-around deck in your backyard, but would settle for a home that doesn’t have one. (After all, you can always install one later.)That’s why it’s a good idea to create two wish lists. One list would include all the features you absolutely would not do without in your new home, and the other would list all those things you’d like to have, but are not necessities.With two lists, you’ll make better decisions. Your shopping will be easier because you won’t be wasting time viewing homes that don’t meet the criteria on your “must have” list. The second list will come in handy when you’re comparing properties and deciding which one to buy.Two lists also help to ensure you get most, if not all, of what you really want in your new home. And that makes all the difference.Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>Should You Worry About Market Fluctuations?</title>
      <description>You turn on the television and watch a news story about housing prices going down. Then you receive a flyer in the mail about a property around the corner that sold for a decent price. Next you read a newspaper article about the housing market on the upswing again.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/686808/686808_original.png"&gt;It’s a little like being on a roller-coaster ride!Unfortunately the ride isn’t much fun if you’re thinking of buying or selling a home. In fact, it can be very confusing and frustrating. You just don’t know if “now” is the right time to make a move.In reality, the housing market has been fluctuating for decades. Yet, people sell their homes every day for good prices, and just as many people get into their next dream homes affordably.When you hear news of market fluctuations, there are two important things to consider.First of all, a lot of media information about the housing market is national, or at least regional. If the housing market is trending up or down nationally, remember that it doesn’t necessarily mean that your LOCAL market is doing the same.In fact, it’s entirely possible for housing prices to be rising in your neighbourhood while they are falling nationally, and vice versa.Secondly, if you’re selling a current property while buying another home, then the net effect of market fluctuations may cancel out.Say, for example, that the local market is on the upswing. You’ll probably be able to sell your current home for a good price. However, the home you purchase will likely also be priced to reflect the upswing.The same holds true when the market is down.All that being said, there are some circumstances in which you need to consider market fluctuations when deciding whether or not to make a move. A good REALTOR® will help.Looking for a good REALTOR®?Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>5 Secrets To Selecting Interior Lighting</title>
      <description>Lighting is, perhaps, the most important element in decorating. The right lamp, chandelier or ceiling fixture can instantly make a room more attractive and inviting. The wrong lighting, unfortunately, can have the opposite effect.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/686261/686261_original.jpg"&gt;Here are five secrets to making the right choice:
How much lighting is required in a room? To calculate, simply multiply the square footage by 1.5. Therefore, a 12′ x 16′ living room would require 288 watts of lighting (12 x 16 x 1.5 = 288).
How big a chandelier do you need? Simply add the dimensions of the room together. So a 12′ x 16′ area could accommodate a chandelier that is 28 inches in diameter (12 + 16 = 28).
How far apart should lighting fixtures be installed in a hallway? Experts say that ideally a light should be positioned every 8 to 10 feet.
How do I create ambience? In the dining area for example, select a light fixture that can accommodate a dimmer switch. The ambiance of the room improves if you can soften the lighting during meals or when entertaining.
Using floor lamps? The bottom of the lampshade should be around 42 inches from the floor.

      <title>Making Sure Your “Wish List” is Complete</title>
      <description>Before shopping for a new home, people often create a “wish list” of the features they desire most. That's a good way to ensure you choose a home that best fits your needs and desires. For example, you might want an extra bedroom for guests, ample space for a home office, a local playground for the kids, and so forth.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/686005/686005_original.png"&gt;However, many buyers don’t make their lists complete enough. You might find a home with the extra bedroom and nearby playground you want, only to realize, too late, that your commute to work becomes twice as long. You missed the importance of the commute because it wasn’t on your list. Ouch!When you make your wish list, don’t be afraid to dream big. You might not be able to find a home that includes everything you desire, but you may be surprised by just how close you can get.Here are some wish list items to consider:
Distances to places you visit regularly – work, schools, running trails, recreation centres, restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping centres.
Specific home features – a backyard tree, large closets, a fireplace, a two-car garage, a beautiful view.
Neighbourhood characteristics –safety, sidewalks, nearby public transit, playgrounds, the neighbours.
A complete list helps you make a better decision about which homes to consider. It helps you balance the positives — “I love the large kitchen with the marble countertops” — with the negatives — “The bathroom off the master bedroom is small” — to ultimately make the best buying decision.Also remember to take your list with you when shopping for a new home. Use it as a checklist or as a way to organize notes. Ultimately it will make it easier to shortlist homes, compare them, and determine when you’re ready to submit an offer.Want to find out which homes on the market fit your wish list?Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>When to Consider Buying a “Diamond in the Rough”</title>
      <description>Let’s face it. When you visit a home during a scheduled viewing or open house, you’re usually seeing it at its best. The rooms are tidy. The sinks are clean. The closets are organized and uncluttered. Even the lighting is set to its brightest.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/685413/685413_original.png"&gt;That’s just good old-fashioned marketing.However, not every house you see will actually look this way. For any number of reasons, a house on the market may be less than tidy, poorly decorated, and even in need of minor repairs. You may open the front door in anticipation, only to be immediately turned off by stains on the carpets, faded paint on the walls, cluttered hallways, and more.First impressions form quickly. It’s easy to make quick judgments and move on. But, you may be passing on what could be a dream home.Don’t make that mistake. Make your purchase decision based on a carefully considered second impression, not just your first.When viewing a house, imagine how it will look with a fresh coat of paint, some redecorating, the minor repairs completed, and your furniture adorning the rooms. You might just find that a home that doesn’t show well is really a diamond in the rough.(One caveat: Be careful of houses that don’t look like they’ve been well maintained. There could be issues lurking that require expensive repairs or renovations. Always make a professional home inspection a condition of your offer.)There are advantages to buying a home that doesn’t show well. They attract less interest and, therefore, less competition from other potential buyers. The listing price may be lower too.Need more ideas for finding the perfect home?Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>Increasing Foyer Appeal</title>
      <description>You’ve heard of curb appeal. It refers to the good impression buyers tend to get when they first see your house “from the curb”. The greater the curb appeal, the more enticing your house will seem.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/685219/685219_original.png"&gt;But there’s another type of appeal you may not be aware of: Foyer appeal. That’s the impression buyers get when they first walk in the door.Think of what happens when someone visits your house for the first time. Chances are, they stand in the foyer for a few moments, look around, and take in the view of your house from that perspective.That’s why, if you’re preparing your property for sale, it’s important to make the foyer look as attractive and inviting as possible.Obviously, you want to make sure it’s clean and free of clutter. You don’t want potential buyers to trip over shoes or catch a glimpse of an over-stuffed coat closet.If you have a welcome mat, make sure it’s clean and in good shape. Or, better still, buy a new one.Finally, make sure that the rooms that can be seen from the foyer look attractive.The impression you want to make is, “Wow. I can’t wait to see the rest of the house!”Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers

      <title>When the Home Inspector Finds Something Wrong</title>
      <description>You shop for a home. You find one you like. You make an offer — conditional on a satisfactory home inspection.&lt;img src="http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/realtormarina/64216788/684989/684989_original.jpg"&gt;Okay so far.Then the inspector discovers a problem with the home that may require an expensive repair or renovation. Perhaps the frame in the front door is cracked; or there's a leak in the roof; or the furnace is due to be replaced.What do you do?You don't want to pass up an opportunity to purchase what could be your dream home. On the other hand, you don't want to have to deal with potentially costly repairs.First, keep in mind that you did the right thing.It's always a good idea to get a home inspected by a professional before the offer is finalized. A qualified home inspector will go over the property with a fine tooth comb, top to bottom, inside and out, inspecting the structure, electrical systems, HVAC systems and more.It's their job to find any deficiencies in the home and alert you to them.If a deficiency is found, your next best step is to discuss the issue with your REALTOR®, and go over your options. Those options may include amending the offer price to cover some or all of the costs of the repair, or requiring the seller to get the repair done before you move in.Don't worry. This is a normal part of the negotiation process. Chances are, an agreement can be reached that is satisfactory to both parties — and gets you the house you want!And, because you had a home inspection done, you'll know the true condition of your home when you buy it. That's peace of mind.Call Marina 416-843-1515 today. Your Real Estate Connection:  Marina Gavrylyuk Real Estate Agent with Sutton Group Summit Realty  www.MarinaG.ca  Marina.Realtor  RentListingService.com - Condos and Houses for rent  CondoName.com - New and Resale Condos and Towns from Developers
