Setting a Plan
• I will help you identify what you want in your new residence
• I will compare your needs, wants and budget with what is available on the market and make recommendations that save you time and effort
• I will accompany you as you view houses/condos and help you assess their suitability and price
Access to Properties for Sale
• Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) is an exclusive service accessible only through a REALTOR®• I have full MLS® access that provides greater detail over the public www.MLS.ca
• Through MLS®, the details of a wide variety of listed properties are made available
• I will save you a tremendous amount of time and effort in your search for the right house/condo
A Skilled Negotiator
• I am experienced in negotiating fair deals
• I will discuss a negotiating strategy that reflects:
- Current market conditions including sold and listed property
- Is inline with your motivation to buy
- Is inline with any time constraints you may have
• I will negotiate an offer on your behalf
• I will draw up a legally binding agreement
Professional Standards
• I successfully completed a Bachelor of Commerce
• I am a REALTOR®• When you work with a REALTOR®, you can expect not only strict adherence to provincial laws, but also adherence to a Code of Ethics. And that code is very important to you because it assures you will receive the highest level of service, honesty and integrity
• Before receiving a real estate license, I successfully completed an extensive course of study and I will continue to attend courses throughout my career in order to maintain my license
Real Estate as an Investment
1. Consistent returns: Over the long term, real estate has shown a consistent growth in value
2. Forced savings: Contributing towards a mortgage automatically forces saving. Rather than paying rent, monthly payments contribute to future security
3. Appreciation: Up to 100 percent in the last five years
4. Tax-free profits: When your home is your principal residence, and you sell it, you will not pay tax on any of the profits
5. Increase Equity: The difference between what is outstanding on your mortgage and what your home is valued at, is your earned equity. You could use this equity to obtain additional financing or move-up to a larger home
