Welcome to Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty Born and raised a Prairie girl, she is now proud to call this amazing city of Victoria home!!! Having graduated with a Bachelor of Interior Design degree from University of Manitoba, she has lived and worked in both in Los Angeles and most recently, Toronto. Being involved in residential development projects from the ground up, she loves the fantastic character homes of Fairfield and the new Heritage Home convertions, where she currently resides. Honesty, Integrity and Dedication to all the people she works with are reflected in her work in residential real estate in Victoria. Listening, understanding and helping people to see all the details and possibilities of a space are her strengths. Her staging of properties is a value added service she can bring to your listing!! Carol Geurts Saanich Location 250-477-5353 Carol Geurts, President of Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty, is delighted to announce that the following REALTORS® Betsy Gutnik, Brenda Campbell, and Beth Hayhurst have joined our Royal LePage Sales Team.

Brenda Campbell Oak Bay Location 250-592-4422

Brenda was born and raised in sunny Alberta. She then relocated to the coast, and has resided in beautiful British Columbia for the past thirty-three years. After raising two sons, Brenda began her real estate career in 1996. Sixteen years later, with considerable experience gained in residential sales, during brisk and slower markets, Brenda continues to enjoy helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals, in a conscientious and caring manner. While keeping personal service alive her commitment to you is a friendly, step by step approach. Put Brenda's energy and enthusiasm to work for you today! Together, she will help you reach your real estate destination. Call now.

Is the journey as important as the destination? Beth Hayhurst thinks so. For over twenty years, in the most demanding of professions and with the most discerning of clientele, Beth has helped organizations, individuals and families achieve their goals by focusing on the details along the way. For those who know her approach you know that she is deeply focused on both the outcome and the experience. During the tech heyday of the 1990s, Beth was tapped by one of Canada’s fastest growing software companies as a key project manager. She took care of their toughest customers. The US Army & Air Force Exchange Service and some of North America’s biggest retailers. Through it all, she earned the respect and gratitude of both customers and peers for keeping an eye on the big picture – and keeping the little things out of the way. Not one to sit still, she soon began a new career as a photographer while raising a busy family of three. Quickly, her name and reputation grew as one of Toronto’s premier lifestyle portrait professionals. Families seeking a uniquely personal way to capture their ‘essence’ on film sought her services; in the city and at their cottages. Upon moving to Victoria in 2005, she found herself booking in both provinces, with clients new and old waiting months for an opening. Today, Beth is excited to bring her passion for delivering professional services in a uniquely personal and creative way to help her clients achieve their ultimate lifestyle goals through real estate.

Frequently, people who attempt to sell their home without the help of a REALTOR® do so in hopes of saving the commission or fee. There is a good chance, however, that such an approach will not pay off as potential buyers will often submit lower offers in such cases. In addition, without the help of a REALTOR® and access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) it will likely take significantly longer to sell your home. The MLS® is best described as a co-operative marketing system to ensure maximum exposure of properties for sale. Fundamentally, it is a central registry of properties used by REALTORS® to match buyers with properties for sale.

This course gives a good overview, shows where the best condo, house, & townhouse bargains are, which communities are growing (& which aren’t), which get the most sunshine, compares medical facilities and much more.”

1. Do you have sufficient knowledge to determine the price range for your home? Are you aware of changing market conditions and of recent sales of similar homes in your area? 2. Do you have the skills and resources to advertise and market your home effectively? 3. Do you know what types of financing are available? Are you informed about various financing methods? 4. Do you have a network of contacts to produce potential buyers and are you able to screen out unqualified prospects -- people who are just curious? Are you comfortable inviting strangers into your home at 9 p.m. because they saw your sign? 5. Are you available seven days a week to show your home? (Buyers will expect you to be available at their convenience, not yours). 6. Do you have good negotiating skills? Are you comfortable haggling face-to-face over the price? Will you be ready to reveal known defects of your home and are you familiar with your legal obligations in this regard? 7. Can you write a legally binding contract? Do you have offer forms readily available? Do you have a lawyer to advise you on essential terms that must be in the contract? 8. Can you close a sale? Are you familiar with the many steps required after an offer has been accepted?

CREATING CURB APPEAL CAN HELP SELL YOUR HOME What’s curb appeal? It’s that certain something about your home that catches the eye of the passer-by and makes them want to take a closer look. If you’re selling your home, curb appeal can quickly draw prospective buyers in for the first time. Without it, buyers may pass up on the chance to see inside and will miss what might have been the perfect home for them. Your REALTOR can give you numerous tips and suggestions to help you make that first impression really count. Here are a few ideas. Keep your lawns neatly trimmed and edged. Trim trees and shrubbery to get rid of overhanging branches that might obscure a potentially good view of your home, or pathway leading to the front door. Turn over the soil in your flowerbeds. If there’s little color in your front garden, make a splash with a display of inexpensive annuals, flower boxes and wooden tubs. Clay and plastic posts can also be filled with flowers and small shrubs and displayed in the yard or by the front entrance to give the feel of a warm welcome. Birdhouses and feeders, dried flower wreaths and hanging baskets on the front porch can give your home countryside curb appeal. Keep your porch, driveway and front yard clutter free. Remove garbage bins as soon as possible after pick-up, and avoid any build-up of junk mail.

Repair or replace broken steps or walkways. You might be used to the uneven paving or rickety stairs outside your home, but they could be hazardous to visitors, as well as unsightly. Your home’s roof, chimney and exterior should look sound and well-cared for. Freshly painted woodwork is often well worth the time and money invested in it. A good spruce-up can make a big difference If painting is unnecessary, your home will still benefit from a good spruce-up. Wash down window frames and clean your windows to make them sparkle. Scrub the front door and polish the house numbers, letterbox, doorknob and knocker. Open blinds, curtains or shutters to give your home an inviting, welcoming look. These are just a sample of some of the ways you can create curb appeal. Your REALTOR can give you many other, customized tips to make the most of your home’s unique charm. In addition, your REALTOR can offer an objective view of any repairs and improvements that might be necessary to enhance the likelihood of selling your home. Creating curb appeal may just be the feature that sets your home apart from the rest.

BUYING A HOME: YOUR NEEDS AND WANTS The current combination of attractive mortgage rates, home buying incentive programs and a wide selection of homes from which to choose means now is a great time to consider buying that first home or moving to something that better serves your needs. Location, Location, Location Location is one of the most important factors in making any real estate purchase. For example, if you work in downtown Victoria and you are comfortable with the idea of commuting, you might want to consider buying a home in one of the outlying communities where lots may be more picturesque and peaceful. On the other hand, living closer to the city centre often means a short commute to work and easy access to shops and entertainment facilities. When focusing on location, you will likely want to consider other important factors like the proximity of schools, access to public transit and shopping facilities, etc. Identify Features You Need And Want Once you have decided on the location you prefer, it is time to identify your needs so that you can zero in on the home of your choice. For instance, if your family is outgrowing its present apartment or home, you know you are going to require something bigger and more comfortable -- possibly with more bedrooms and a second bath. In addition to your needs, you should also consider your wants -- things you would like to have if you can afford them and if they are available. Remember, the time you take to think about these things now will prove invaluable later during your discussions with a REALTOR®. Matching Needs And Wants With Available Properties With access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), a co-operative listing system that offers maximum exposure of homes listed for sale, your REALTOR® can draw up a customized list of homes that as closely as possible match your needs, wants and budget in the locations of your choice. Take your lifestyle into account and the things that could enhance or detract from your daily enjoyment. Then add these preferences to your needs or wants shopping list. Your REALTOR® will be pleased to arrange for you to see the homes for sale that appeal to you the most and will offer invaluable guidance throughout the home-buying process. Remember also that all of the properties listed for sale on MLS® can be viewed at mls.ca. If you are serious about buying your dream home, contact a REALTOR® -- they are in the business of helping make the dream of home ownership a reality.
