Questions to Ask When Hiring A REALTOR® Home owners often interview a few REALTORS® before deciding on one to sell their home. Here are some questions you may want to ask:
Can you provide me with an overview of your real estate experience? Newer REALTORS® often have lots of time to devote to clients while those in the business longer can offer you practical experience.
What is your marketing plan? Specifically, what will you do to sell my home? What marketing activities do you consider to be effective?
Why should I choose you over another REALTOR®? Why are you the best person to market my property?
How long might it take for my home to sell? What things do I need to consider that impact the time it will take for my home to sell?
What documents will I be asked to sign? A REALTOR® will be able to explain the various documents and answer any questions before you are required to sign.
How do you keep your clients informed during the term of the listing? How often will you provide me with progress updates? In what ways do you communicate with your clients?
How much do you charge and what services can I expect in return? This is your opportunity to discuss and negotiate the level of service you require, the term of the listing contract, and the associated fees you’ll pay in exchange for those services.
What options are available to me if we find we don’t like working together? Is there an option to amicably end our relationship?
What haven’t I asked you that I need to know? This will provide the REALTOR® with an opportunity to provide you with other relevant information that may assist you in understanding what they are offering.
Whatever your needs are, a REALTOR® can help.

Why use your hard-earned cash to pay the landlord’s mortgage when you could be using the rent money to buy a home of your own? That’s a question many people ask themselves when they start thinking about moving out of the rental market to home ownership. It’s a big step. For most people, taking out a mortgage is the biggest financial commitment they will ever make. But buying your own home has always made sound financial sense. Here are some facts to think over when considering home ownership as opposed to renting. If you are 35 now and just buying your first home, you will likely be mortgage-free when you are 60 and sitting comfortably on a considerable asset.
Owning a home of your own means you and your family can set down roots, get to know your community and involve yourselves in it.
BUCK LAKE BEAUTY! $299,000
Buck Lake Beauty with abundant sunshine and verdant landscape. Rustic cottage plus brand new sleeping/artist studio. With a dock where you can dive right in, launch your kayak or fish in the lake. Great location & perfectly private. www.PropertyOnPender.com

Discover the pride of home ownership. You can fix the place to suit your particular needs. You can also have pets in your home. As your family grows and moves on to homes of their own, you will have the option of earning extra income by renting out spare rooms or floors, if local bylaws allow. If you are planning to borrow money from a bank or other financial institution, owning your own home is a definite plus when it comes time to negotiate. You may not need as much money as you think to get into the home market. Qualified buyers can buy a house with as little as five per cent down through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) mortgage insurance scheme. You may also be able to use RRSP funds as part of your down payment.

www.revweekly.com What is your money worth in today’s housing market?
With many kinds of investments, you have to pay a capital gains tax on profit you make. If your home is your principal residence, this tax does not apply. After you have carefully considered all of the aspects of home ownership and are ready to begin your search, it’s time to contact your REALTOR. He or she has access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a co-operative marketing system through which properties are bought and sold. Using the MLS, your REALTOR can prepare a customized list of properties for sale that best meet your needs, wants and budget. Your REALTOR will also provide valuable assistance and guidance to you throughout the buying process. This article is provided by the Victoria Real Estate Board.

CHATTELS AND FIXTURES: PUT IT IN WRITING BEFORE YOU SELL you are thinking of selling your home, have you Ithefgiven much thought to what you plan to leave with home and what you would like to take with you,
Other items to consider are lawn ornaments, smoke alarms, and built-in vacuum cleaners. These types of items are generally left with the home, but some people still like to take things with them. If you tend to be one of these people, clearly state in writing what WILL NOT be included in the sale. Most buyers would assume that these types of fixtures will be included in the sale unless you specify the contrary in the listing. It is absolutely necessary that you set out these stipulations in the contract of purchase and sale.
such as the washer and dryer, the fridge and stove, or even that heirloom chandelier in the dining room? While these may not seem like important concerns right now, your failure to address them in your listing and the contract of purchase and sale could lead to a major misunderstanding with a potential buyer. The last thing you would want is the loss of a sale of your home due to a dispute or misunderstanding over a relatively minor item. A REALTOR will guide you through the listing process and will ask you what you want to include in the sale. It is a good idea, however, to make up a list before meeting with your REALTOR to ensure you do not forget something.
CHATTELS ARE NORMALLY REMOVED When chattels are included in the agreement, they must be listed in the contract of purchase and sale. It is fairly common practice for sellers to include items, which would normally be considered as chattels, such as appliances and window coverings, in the selling price.
IF IN DOUBT? If there is any doubt about a particular item, your REALTOR will include it in the list of items to be included or excluded from the purchase price. That way, if there is any question, the situation has already been addressed.
FIXTURES NORMALLY STAY A REALTOR will explain that fixtures are permanent improvements to a property which normally stay with the property as part of the sale. For example, if you have upgraded your wiring or heating system, these are considered to be permanent fixtures. Keep in mind, however, that the law is not always crystal clear about what constitutes a fixture. There are circumstances where you may plan to remove something that might ordinarily be considered a fixture — like your chandelier.
If you have any concerns, talk to your REALTOR. As a trained professional, he or she will be able to guide you smoothly through the selling process and answer any questions you may have.

MOVING UP IN THE HOUSING MARKET as the prospect of moving into a bigger and better home been in your plans from the day you first bought your “starter” home? Well, now may be just the right time to make it happen.
H
You may be surprised to learn that the cost of moving up is within your means. The equity you have already built up in your current home can often be sufficient for the down payment for your next home. And, with today’s attractive mortgage rates, carrying charges need not be much larger than what you are paying now. A REALTOR can help you calculate the carrying costs on a “move up” home.

Changing needs The desire to move to a larger home is often the result of changing needs for you and your family. A new child is on the way and you need a nursery; the children are growing and need their own rooms and more space to play; you’re tired of scrambling for a place to park on the street and want your own driveway; you need more space to build a home office now that you are selfemployed; or maybe you just need a change of scenery. There are as many reasons as there are different lifestyles. Whatever your reasons, moving up to a new home can intensify the joys of home ownership.

There are both practical and emotional results of moving up to a better home. On the practical side, the equity in your home will continue to grow and the value of a bigger and better home will be ultimately greater over time. On the emotional side, the pride of ownership in a bigger house will probably be even greater than when you bought your first home.
Ask a REALTOR for help. As will every major decision, the key component is thoughtful planning. Your options can be confusing at times but a REALTOR can help you make the right choices. Location, of course, will be one of the first choices you will need to make. There are almost as many individual choices on location as there are homes. If you want to move closer to the urban core you can be sure that there is somebody out there who is just as eager to move to the suburbs. If you want a house on a bigger lot to enjoy gardening, there’s someone looking for a smaller lot which requires less maintenance. With access to the Multiple Listing Service®) (MLS® ), a REALTOR can not only help you sell your present home for the best price possible, but also provide you with a customized list of homes for sale that meet your needs, wants and budget. He or she can then arrange for you to view the homes that appeal to you the most. If you are thinking of moving up to meet changes in circumstances and lifestyle, contact a REALTOR today for expert advice. This article is provided by the Victoria Real Estate Board.

HOMEBUYERS ROAD MAP: FINDING A HOME Where do you want to live? • Urban, suburban or country? • Will you need to commute? Do you need access to public transit? How much will commuting cost? • Are there schools nearby? How will your children get there?
What type of home do you prefer? • Single-family detached homes stand alone on their own lot. • Single-family semi-detached homes are joined on one side to another home. • Duplexes contain two single-family homes, one above the other. • Row houses (townhouses) are several single-family units, located next to one another and joined by common walls. • Other types of homes include stacked townhouses, link or carriage homes, condominiums and co-op apartments.
What are the types of ownership? Freehold You own the land and house and are responsible for everything inside and outside of the home. Condominium ownership You own your unit and share ownership of common spaces. The condominium association is responsible for upkeep of the building and common interior elements, such as halls, elevators, parking garages and the grounds. You pay a monthly fee to the condominium association to cover maintenance costs. The fee varies but can often include utilities, TV services and taxes. You may also have to buy or rent your parking space. Condos often have strict rules regarding noise, use of common areas and renovations to units. Be aware of your condo’s rules before putting in an offer. Co-operatives Similar to condos but instead of owning your unit, you own shares in the entire building or complex with the other residents. Co-op residents pay for maintenance and repairs through monthly fees and are subject to the rules and regulations of the co-op board. Be aware that if you decide to sell or rent your shares, the co-op board has the right to reject your prospective buyer or tenant. Read the co-op’s rules before making an offer. Check out www.REALTOR.ca to see personalized listings for a variety of different housing and homeownership types.
Finding your perfect home can be a long process. Your REALTOR® will help identify the right type of home for you and continually research new listings in neighbourhoods that meet your needs. Check out www.howrealtorshelp.ca to see how your REALTOR® can make the home buying process easier for you!

ARRANGING
a Mortgage Now is a great time to consider buying a home. Interest rates are very attractive and there is a wide choice of homes available to suit various budgets. Still, it’s most likely you will have to deal with financing and this will mean taking on a mortgage. Sorting through the numerous mortgage options available to today’s homebuyers can be intimidating, but professional help is readily available. Your REALTOR® can offer you invaluable information along with your financial institution’s mortgage specialist and other advisors. First, it’s necessary to know which kinds of institutions will lend you money. Banks and trust companies lead the pack, but credit unions, mortgage companies and private lenders also offer funds. There is also the option of consulting a mortgage broker.
Other Terms There are some other concepts to bear in mind.
Different Mortgages A number of different mortgage options are available. Under a conventional mortgage, lenders will loan you up to 80 per cent of the appraised value or purchase price of the property (whichever is lower) to a maximum set by government regulation and you must come up with the remaining 20 per cent yourself. If you don’t have the 20 per cent down payment, a high-ratio mortgage may be available that could provide most of the required funds. The proviso is that high-ratio mortgages must be insured and the cost falls to you. Check with your lending institution or mortgage broker to see whether you would be eligible for such a mortgage. Variable-rate mortgages are usually offered for both conventional and high-ratio mortgages. If interest rates climb, you may be paying more per month in interest; if rates drop, you may be paying more off your principal. Fixed-rate mortgages, on the other hand, maintain the same rate of interest over the entire negotiated term.
Amortization refers to the time period in which the mortgage is assumed to be paid. A common amortization period is 25 years. This means interest and principal are set as if you were paying the amount borrowed over a 25 year payment schedule. Obviously, the shorter the amortization period, the less interest you will pay. Prepayment privileges are very important for borrowers to consider. These allow you to pay money against the principal, reducing the total amount of interest you will ultimately pay. Buying or selling a home need not be a daunting task. Your REALTOR® can provide you with invaluable information on finances and all other aspects of the buying and selling process.
