Cash Offer on Your Home

in 48 hrs Guaranteed Home Seller & Gil Szabo must agree on market value and completion dates

Gil Szabo

www.TheSoldHomes.com

Personal Real Estate Corporation

"Our home SOLD for $6,000 MORE than we previously had it listed for"

MUST SELL!

"We had our home listed for 7 months with another realtor and it still didn't sell. We listed our home with Gil and SOLD it in 30 days for $6,000 more than we even had it listed for with the other Realtor. We had found a home that we really wanted, we couldn't afford to buy it without, first selling our home. Gil stepped in and gave us an unconditional offer to buy our home, which we accepted. Then, we received another offer from someone else to buy our home. The new offer was for $10,000.00 more money than we had accepted from Gil. We got to keep the additional $10,000.00, not Gil, and we were able to buy the home of our dreams!

Gil's program is unbelievable! You can not put a price on the piece of mind you have given us. Thank You so Much!”

REAL ESTATE WEEKLY September 23, 2011

An eco-friendly patio The role of patios has changed a lot over the years. These days, patios are laid out in such a way that they’re almost an extension of the house; perfect for get-togethers and relaxation. Feel like renovating? Here are a few ideas!

Wood is still the preferred material for this type of project. However, it must be realized that the treating of wood is imperative in order to ensure its durability. If this isn’t done it will rapidly succumb to insects and mould. But not all treatments are created equal in terms of effectiveness and respect for the environment.

However, this treatment must be carried out by the individual consumer, rather than in a plant, and requires a great deal of patience and meticulous care to apply.

Another, more recent innovation comes from France. It consists of heating the wood to a high temperature in a special oven, without the addition of any chemical products. In this way, all moisture is removed from the wood, preventing it from rotting or warping.

The chemicals most commonly used in these products are copper and ammonia which are corrosive in nature. Their application requires the use of nails and screws made of stainless steel. Experts believe that treatments involving copper-nitrogen based products are less effective but are also less expensive.

As far as more eco-friendly treatments are concerned, two little-known products are worth considering. The first was developed in the Scandinavian countries. It consists of a powder made from plants and minerals, free of any toxic products.

Among the many wood species, red cedar from British Columbia is famous for its durability and its beautiful finish.

Plenty of grants for home energy retrofits For some time now, the EcoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program has been helping owners to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. In March 2009, the Federal Minister of Natural Resources, Lisa Raitt, announced a 25% increase in the amount of grants given in accordance with this program. The broadening of the EcoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program includes an increase in financing of $300 million over two years, which should allow 200,000 more owners to participate in this program.

What’s more, small, mixed-use buildings designated as both commercial and residential, are now admissible under certain conditions. This type of building cannot have more than three floors, the ground surface must not exceed 600 square metres and at least 50% of the floor space must serve as a residence. Eligible retrofits for these buildings exclude specialized commercial equipment.

Any retrofits will have to be done quickly as access to this program is based on the principal of first come, first served and grants are subject to the availability of funds.

What’s more the date limit for applying for such a grant is either March 31, 2011 or 18 months after receiving the pre-retrofit energy efficiency assessment report. The maximum grant is $5,000 and the energy efficiency assessment must be carried out by an energy advisor certified by Natural Resources Canada.

New windows can improve the energy efficiency of your home.

The perfect staircase...

The installation or the renovation of an interior staircase involves many decisions concerning the style of the staircase as well as the materials to be used.

These choices must take into account the style of the house, aesthetics, budget, sturdiness, durability, ease of maintenance, personal taste as well as the latest trends of course.

Because of its hardness and durability, oak is a popular choice for high-traffic areas. Maple, ash and cherry are also

appreciated but any of the hardwood species can be used for staircases.

A part from wood, there are many other materials which are increasingly used in the manufacture of staircases. Metals, such as steel, wrought iron, brass and stainless steel have been popular choices for some time. It is transparent materials, however, which are currently at the top of the popularity ratings.

The trend in modern houses has resolutely turned towards minimalism and transparency. This style lends staircases a light and airy effect. There are many different ways of conferring this lightness to a staircase but the use of raw steel for the banisters and stair frame can only add to the minimalist look.

Other materials used to create this look, such as glass, tempered glass, acrylic, and Plexiglas promote transparency and increase the feeling of spaciousness by allowing as much light as possible to filter into the area. Clear, frosted or coloured, these transparent stairs blend into any decor, whether classic or contemporary.

As well as using different materials, a flight of stairs can be lightened by eliminating the risers or limiting the balusters and handrails to a minimum.

Open stairs, a single handrail and the use of metal help to lighten the look of this elegant staircase.

What about repainting the outside of the house?

The colour of a home’s exterior walls is, without doubt, its most important aesthetic element; the first thing which catches the eye. Repainting the outside of an entire house is certainly a very big project indeed! However, the final result usually makes up for all the hard work.

Here are a few things which are good to know before getting started.

The first step consists of preparing the surface for the application of the new paint. This part of the work is crucial as the quality of the final result depends on it. A pressure washer can be used to remove all the dirt. After this, a sander can do most of the work of removing the old covering as well as smoothing the surface. For those small areas which are difficult to reach, a scraper with a steel blade is a useful tool to have around. Bear in mind that softening the paint with a dual heat gun will make it much easier to remove.

After this work is completed, the next step is the application of the primer. This will help seal the wood to some extent, giving the new paint better adherence. One important piece of advice: always purchase the same make of primer and finishing paint as this is your best guarantee that the two products will be compatible.

It isn’t always easy to choose colour combinations for the finishing coat. First of all choose the basic colour. For best results, this should contrast with the colour of the roof. Then a different colour can be applied to the various trims (roof trim, cornices, window frames, etc). Finally, accents or contrasts are used to highlight such things as the front door.

Good quality paint will not only cover a larger area than a cheaper brand but will also be easier to apply.

Speaks PUNJABI/URDU

BC Commercial Leading Indicator Edges Lower The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) Commercial Leading Indicator (CLI) edged down 0.4 points to 108.1 in the second quarter of 2011. After posting a strong performance in 2010, the index has trended lower since the beginning of the year.

The CLI peaked at a level of 115.5 in the second quarter of 2007 before the onset of the financial crisis pushed it to a low of 97.7 in the first half of 2009.

The downward pressure in the CLI over the past two quarters is mostly a product of weak growth in both retail sales and employment. In addition, provincial manufacturing sales have deteriorated alongside the global economy.

“Tepid job creation and deteriorating global economic growth represent significant headwinds for the BC economy and could lead to softer commercial activity in coming quarters,” said Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA Economist. “However, an almost unprecedented decline in longterm interest rates may help to stimulate investment activity and soften the impact of slower economic growth.”
