REAL ESTATE AGENTS: a great solution for home buyers

esearch, visits, negotiations and paperwork: buying a property can be complex, especially for first-time buyers. To avoid making mistakes, you’re much better off using the ser­vices of a real estate agent who will protect your interests. After all, this is a major in­vestment you’re about to make.

Doing business with real estate agents has many advantages.

They handle all legal as­pects of the complex real estate transaction and accompany you through each step of the buying process.

In addition to receiving expert advice, you will be able to take

ad­vantage of their wide network of contacts in order to find the other professio­nals whose services you need, such as a building inspector, a no­tary or lawyer or a mortgage broker.

It also makes finding the perfect home easier. Realtors have access to numerous tools for finding the property that best meets your needs. They ensure that you have all the documents necessary to evaluate the property, including the complete listing, the property survey or certificate of location and tax bill. Their neutral perspective could also be valuable when you fall in love with

Lenders need written evidence a borrower has the ability to repay the mortgage, but that evidence can take a number of forms. Tax returns will work for most borrowers, but lenders are not actually required to use returns to verify income.

For instance, lenders can accept W-2s, payroll statements, government forms showing benefits We have an opportunity to get a mortgage with and entitlements, receipts from a check cashing or 20 percent down, however for reasons of privacy we funds transfer service, and records from a financial would like to get a loan without providing our tax institution. returns.

Because of their experience and market knowledge, real estate agents can help buyers determine the right price to offer for the property they are inte­ rested in. Depending on the province you live in, you may also be protected by law if you use the services of an agent.

Q& A

ASK OUR BROKER

By Peter G. Miller

As it happens a lot of loans were originated and sold to investors without proper representations and warranties – one of the direct causes of the financial meltdown. As a result lenders paid out huge amounts to compensate investors, in addition to more than $140 billion to settle claims relating to mortgage-related rule violations.

Given this history, few lenders today want anything but the thickest possible loan files so that if a mortgage fails they can demonstrate that they took every possible step to verify the borrower’s ability to repay the debt – and avoid future liability.

This is not only a smart strategy for lenders, it’s also good for borrowers. Today, if you get a residential mortgage you can be very sure that all terms and conditions have been disclosed and that you really do have the ability to repay the debt.

Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people.

“When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.

BUYING A CONDOMINIUM: A NEW OR EXISTING UNIT?

Buying a condo is an important decision. Take the time to weigh the pros and cons of both options.

ou’re looking for your dream condo, but you’re wondering whether you should opt for a new or existing unit. It’s definitely a question worth thinking about.

Avoid making mistakes when selling your home

FIVE ADVANTAGES TO ORGANIZING AN OPEN HOUSE

Maybe it’s true that your property cost a lot to buy and that you’ve improved it over time. But when selling, you still have to be realistic and set a fair price that’s based on comparable properties in your neighborhood. Asking too much is one of the most common mistakes sellers make. Here are some other mistakes to avoid: • NOT PREPARING THE HOME PROPERLY. Make your property as attractive as possible. Tidy up, clean everywhere and do all the necessary repairs (leaky faucet, wobbly steps, etc.). Depersonalize the decor; don’t make it look too empty, though, because you want visitors to be able to imagine living there.

• NOT GETTING THE RIGHT HELP. To sell your home as quickly and efficiently as possible, you need to have the help of some competent professionals. Choose your realtor, notary or lawyer and home inspector with care.

• CONCEALING DEFECTS. Be honest and don’t hide anything. It’s pointless, anyway, because an inspection will reveal any problems.

• BEING TOO EMOTIONAL. You love your house, which is normal. However, you need to keep a cool head and not be offended by a really low offer. It’s only natural to try and buy a property at the lowest possible price. The good news? Your home has attracted attention. All you have to do now is negotiate.

Are you undecided about organizing an open house to stir up interest in the sale of your home? Here are five good reasons to convince you.

1. You’ll save valuable time by meeting lots of visitors on the same day.

2. You’ll attract potential buyers who would not necessarily have visited your property under different circumstances.

3. You’ll show potential buyers that your home generates interest.

4. You’ll increase the visibility of your home in the neighborhood.

5. You can get a feel for the market by asking for the views of the various visitors. This will allow you to make adjustments as needed.
