hamilton: You found your Dream Home-Now What? - 06/25/07 04:02 PM
Once you've found the home you're interested in, it's time to make an offer. Deciding what to offer is one of the most difficult decisions to make. Offer too little and you stand a chance of losing the house (particularly in a seller's market). On the other hand, nobody wants to pay more for something than it's worth.
Your Realtor can help you enormously by showing you what comparable houses are selling for, helping you assess the condition of the house, and judging the type of competition you may face. Once you have decided on the price you are prepared to offer, the … (2 comments)

PriceThe price you offer reflects your opinion of the value of the house and is determined by the condition of the property and local market factors. You can make any offer you like. It does not have to be the same as the seller's asking price.DepositThe deposit shows your good faith and will be applied against the purchase of the home when the sale closes. Your Royal LePage Realtor can advise you on an appropriate amount.TermsInclude the total price offered and the financing details. You may … (0 comments)

Your house should be ready to show at all times. Make sure it is kept clean and clutter-free. And, those last minute touches before someone comes to look at your home can make all the difference:

hamilton: Importance Of Pricing - 06/23/07 06:58 AM
Why is listing my property at market value so important?A realistic competitive price means:
Your property will sell faster. People don't bother looking at over-priced homes. Your home doesn't lose its "marketability." Offers are higher when a property is closer to market value. A well-priced property can generate competing offers. Realtors will be more willing to present your property to buyers (and be more enthusiastic when they do so).

As the weather gets warmer, there's nothing more fun than taking the party outdoors. Whether you're having a backyard bash or an intimate gathering on your condo balcony or rooftop, here are some tips for a simple, sophisticated summer ‘do.
Be deliciously different.
Think outside the burger, and try something like marinated vegetable skewers or grilled pizza. If you plan to barbecue something that falls apart easily, like fish or veggies, use a grill rack.
