TESTIMONIAL We found Mette by checking out listings online before we moved to the valley from Ontario. We found Mette to be very straight forward and efficient, not to mention kind and friendly, so once we made the move to the island we worked with Mette for many months before we found our ideal home.

We would like to recommend Mette to anyone looking for a new home in this area. It can take a long time to find the right place and so we found that Mette’s easy going personality really helped to alleviate any stress in the long process of visiting properties. Mette really listened to us, our needs, likes and dislikes were all taken into consideration as we visited numerous properties. Her knowledge of the area, attention to detail, her understanding of real estate regulations and laws left us feeling very confident in our final decision. We finally found the ideal home, we couldn’t be happier to be honest, and thanks to Mette’s quick actions we were able to purchase the home quickly and with minimal stress. We can’t thank Mette enough for being such a wonderful support and guide in helping us through this process.

Sincerely, Johnna and Andrew

The MLS list to sell ratio for the same period was 63%

SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, 1-3 PM

MLS# 35882 New Listing $549,900 942 Deloume Road, Mill Bay

That’s a staggering 37% greater chance of selling.

What is list to sell? If 100 listings were taken during the year and 63 listings sold during the same year that = 63% list sell

Immaculate 4 bdrm home built in 2009. Main level offers 9’ ceilings, a beautiful kitchen with pantry, island with Corian countertop, eating area, DR, & LR with gas FP & wood floors. 3 bedrooms upstairs including the MB offering a walk-in closet & ensuite with shower, 2 person tub & heated flrs.

During the same period of time Ken has achieved 98.34 % of list price on average for his clients compared to 95% on the MLS. That is 3.34% more of your hard earned money in your pocket or $12,024 on a $360,000 property.

How has he been able to achieve this?

Through low inventory, years of experience and the ability to dedicate a lot more time to sell each of his listings.

Building “D” is a highly visible location to be built at the Northwest corner of the proposed Kingsview Village Shopping Centre.

5 things to consider before expanding your home

Homeowners who feel their homes are a little confined may be interested in expanding their homes to make them more comfortable and serviceable. Several questions may come to mind when homeowners are considering adding on to an existing home.

Expanding a home requires careful consideration. While the

end results can be spectacular, expansion is typically a long and costly process that will impede on the lifestyles of a home’s inhabitants during the renovation process. Expect loud noises, work crews and sawdust throughout the project. Depending on which areas are being renovated, residents may feel their lives are in upheaval until the expansion project has been completed.

Familiarizing yourself with the expansion process and recognizing potential snags along the way can make planning and coping that much easier.

1. Many homeowners first consult with a contractor when mulling over expansions. However, you may want to speak with an architect first. He or she may be able to suggest renovations that fit with your neighborhood and appeal to prospective buyers when you decide to sell your home in the future.

2. Visit your building inspection or municipal office to learn the local regulations. You want to ensure that any renovations

you make are done in keeping with safety codes and laws.

3 While you’re thinking of your neighbors, give them the heads up on your potential plans. This way they will not be surprised by the extra noise and activity when the renovation begins.

4. Remodeling can cost anywhere from $200 to $600 per square foot added. You’ll need to figure out a way to pay for the renovations, and you may consider refinancing your home. Make sure it is a smart time financially to do so based on current real estate market conditions. Also know that additions will likely increase your home insurance coverage needs. Consult with the insurance company about estimated charges and any restrictions they have.

5. Consider a standalone structure when mulling over your options. Sometimes the cost of putting up a free-standing office or another structure on your property may end up being less expansive than expanding on what you already have. Think creatively and research all of your options before committing to a project.

Who is responsible for repairs during a home sale?

Many questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy.

Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer.

There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and Home buyers may be able to negotiate that sellers seller to find a middle ground. repair major structural issues, such as a leaky The buyer may have to make roof. If not, negotiate a lower sale price. some concessions, as will the seller.

Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated.

Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest this be done as a first priority -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made.

A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise.

The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in foreclosure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a moneymanagement Web site, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn’t assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bank-owned home) are responsible for the repairs.

Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold “as is” and may even specify that

repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer’s responsibility. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs. But foreclosures are often already deeply discounted.

Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walking away from the deal, according to Why6Percent.com, a real estate marketing site. Such repairs include: • lender-required repairs that could impact home safety • leaky pipes • water penetration issues, including a bad roof • unsafe decking or handrails • wet basements or crawl spaces • insecure foundations or obvious structural damage • poorly functioning sewer lines or septic system It is always adviseable for buyers to speak with a reliable real estate attorney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect the home they’ll be living in for the next several years.

HOME & LARGE DOUBLE SHOP Beautiful home with many extras. Built by contractor for his own use. Features oak cabinets with silent close doors. Oak floors, auto turn on lights in bathroom.
