Release Roland Wickett, Manager of Coast Realty Group’s Oceanside ofﬁces, and Lynn Wood, Executive Director of Oceanside Hospice Society, are please to announce an enhanced alliance between company and society. Over the last three years, the representatives and management of Coast Realty Group have donated a portion of their real estate commissions to help fund Beth Clarke-Gilman - Director, Roland Wickett - Manager of the local Hospice as they carry out their Coast Realty Group Oceanside, Lynn Wood - Executive Director care giving. “We would like to further that relationship”, Wickett said. “We have a signiﬁcant number of marketing and recognition pieces that go out into our community. By featuring this relationship on our stationery, advertisements, business cards, etc., we hope that extra visibility will increase the public awareness of Hospice, their very important work, and the need for funding help. We also have a large group of real estate representatives prepared to contribute additional human resources, as well as our donations, to help Hospice with their fundraising events.” In 2010 Oceanside Hospice Society celebrated its twentieth anniversary as a community based charity. The charity has been serving the communities stretching from Nanoose to Deep Bay, with funding from grants, events and donations from many segments of the community. With only a small part time staff, the Society is able to deliver programs to the ailing, grieving and those facing end of life issues through the services of a large, skilled and committed volunteer work force. “Volunteers are at the heart of our organization’s effectiveness”, says Wood. “We are overjoyed that Coast Realty Group in Parksville and Qualicum Beach has offered to provide very tangible assistance in the form of public relations and donations. We are also very excited to work with their wonderful team, whose members offer considerable knowledge of our community in addition to their positive energy and good will.” In BC, End of Life Care is recognized as an essential part of the health care system. The primary objective is to enhance the quality of the individual’s remaining life and to ensure that they and their families experience as satisfying an end to life as is possible. No one, except by choice, should have to die alone or feel that they are alone with their grief and the burdens of caregiving. It is a goal of service providers, such as Hospice, that individuals receiving service should be free from avoidable distress and their families are actively supported. Oceanside Hospice Society’s mission is to offer compassionate supportive care to individuals and families who are facing advanced illness, death and bereavement. Their website at www.oceansidehospice.org outlines the current programs offered.

The management and staff of Coldwell Banker Vancouver Island Realty are pleased to announce that Arlene Sequoia has joined our sales team. While Arlene and her husband Ivan vacationed on Vancouver Island they fell in love with the Parksville Qualicum area. Arlene has traveled extensively while a travel agent, but had never found a more perfect place to live! Once here on the Island Arlene and her husband decided that there was no reason to wait until retiring Arlene Sequoia to move - after all, if you must continue to work, why not work here! Arlene’s husband is a general contractor; working alongside him she has spent well over 6 years on residential construction sites and has a very strong knowledge base of quality homes. Combining years of sales, customer service and training in construction knowledge, for Arlene, becoming a REALTOR® just seemed to be the natural choice.

Choosing The REALTOR® Who’s Right For You. If you’re selling or buying a home, you know it’s a process that can’t be rushed. You need time to make the right choices and decisions. After all, selling or buying a home is one of the largest and most important business transactions in which you’re likely to be involved. As a result, you’ll need to work with someone who understands your needs and wants -- someone you trust and with whom you feel comfortable. That’s why it’s important to work with a REALTOR® and to know how to go about choosing the one who’s right for you. By deﬁnition, a REALTOR®’s primary role is to bring buyers and sellers together to facilitate a sale. A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate professional who is a member of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board and therefore has access to the Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS®) run by the Board. Both terms, REALTOR® and MLS® are trademarks owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Members of the local Board are also members of CREA and therefore are permitted to use these trademarks. When you work with a REALTOR® you can expect strict adherence to provincial law, as well as to a national Code of Ethics -- ensuring you’ll receive the highest level of service and integrity.

‘Open Houses’ are also a good way to meet REALTORS, especially if you’re interested in purchasing a home. You can also refer to real estate signs in your chosen area. If no name appears, call the phone number on the sign and ask to be referred to a REALTOR® in that ﬁrm. Some people mistakenly contact the real estate board for referral to a REALTOR®. A real estate board does not provide a referral service for REALTORS. The Board was created to provide services to its members. Still, the Board will conﬁrm whether a real estate practitioner is a member, and therefore a REALTOR®. THE INTERVIEW When choosing a real estate professional, it’s a good idea to talk to two or three sales representatives from different companies to determine what types of information and experience they and their companies have to offer. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you’re selling your home, ask those you interview about the type of marketing plan they have in mind for your home. Obviously, you’ll want to learn of their reputation and reliability. You may also want to consider asking for references from buyers or sellers with whom the REALTOR® has worked.

Real estate professionals know their markets inside-out because they inspect open houses and research all listings. As a result, they have expertise in assessing what comparable homes are selling for within any given neighbourhood.

Further, since you’ll be working closely with a REALTOR® for weeks or possibly months, it’s a good idea to choose someone who listens to what you say, asks intelligent questions and shows a genuine interest in helping you.

HOW DO I FIND A REALTOR®?

PREPARATORY WORK

There are many ways to go about ﬁnding the REALTOR® who’s right for you. First, try consulting friends, relatives and neighbours to see if they can recommend someone. You may also want to try searching through local newspaper real estate advertisements.

Keep in mind that REALTORS cannot work independently of your input. You must be willing to do some preparatory work yourself and be prepared to dedicate a certain amount of time to working with the REALTOR® you have chosen.

The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) represents over 900 REALTORS and administers the Multiple Listing Service® system north of the Malahat to the northern-most reaches of the Island. This article was provided on behalf of VIREB REALTORS for the information and benefit of consumers. For more information, visit the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s website online at www.vireb.com or call 250-390-4212.

So, before you enlist the help of a REALTOR®, you should have a clear set of objectives in mind. Be honest and open in discussing your ﬁnancial situation and, if you’re buying, carefully review the features you absolutely must have in a home, versus those features you’d merely like to have. LOYALTY IS A MUST It’s also important to remain loyal to the REALTOR® you’ve chosen if he or she has earned your trust. This person will be spending a lot of time and effort on your behalf, but won’t be paid until the transaction is completed. If you’re a buyer, getting involved with several REALTORS can create unnecessary and confusing duplication of effort. In fact, buyers who deal with several REALTORS may miss out on the high level of interest and comprehensive service one is entitled to expect by working closely with a single, competent REALTOR®. COOPERATION REALLY WORKS Remember, although you’ll be working with one REALTOR®, members of the Board cooperate extensively with each other to facilitate showings and sales for the beneﬁt of other clients and customers. So, if you see a ‘For Sale’ sign on a house in which you’re interested, simply ask the REALTOR® you’re working with to arrange an appointment to view the home. This service is, in fact, what the Multiple Listing Service® system is all about -REALTORS cooperating with REALTORS to bring buyers and sellers together to achieve their mutual goals.
