Now is a great time to

BUY A HOME

f you are thinking of purchasing a house or condo, consider doing it sooner than later.

Mortgage rates are definitely favourable right now, and remain steady.

If you think you can’t afford a detached home, affordable housing in the way of condominiums, semi-detached and townhome designs are still readily available.

In fact, condos, semis and towns are a top choice with first-time buyers looking to live in the city.

Resale Home & Condo Guide is a great source for helping you find the home you want. As with any major purchase, it is important to do your homework before you venture out to shop the market. Know what you need and what you want. Visit a lending institution or a mortgage broker to pre-qualify for a mortgage and figure out the following beforehand: » What monthly payments would I be comfortable with? » How much money do I have to put down? » Will I be using my savings or RRSPs for the down payment?

The resale home market and the mortgage market are ripe for the picking.

Now’s the time to get in on the action.

f buying and/or selling a home is one of your New Year’s resolutions, you are no doubt filled with excitement; but with that excitement can come trepidation. You want to make the correct decisions in your real estate transaction and you’ll likely need the help of a qualified Realtor along the way.

But how do you choose the best Realtor for you? While there are many issues to consider, the Canadian Real Estate Association has a list of 10 questions to ask before signing on the dotted line (from howrealtorshelp.ca):

1. How long have you been in the business?

2. What is your average list-to-sales-price ratio?

3. How will your marketing plan meet my needs?

4. Will you provide references?

Choosing the

RIGHT REALTOR

5. What separates you from your competition?

6. May I review documents that I will be asked to sign?

7. Can you help me find other professionals?

8. How much do you charge?

9. What if I’m unhappy with the service?

10. What haven’t I asked you that I need to know?

A good Realtor should be happy to answer all of these questions for you – and any others that crop up along the way. Don’t be afraid to ask. The peace of mind you will get from choosing the right Realtor for your needs will make your real estate deal go that much smoother.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE AND WHAT IT COSTS Toronto MLS sales on the City of Toronto fell 23 per cent last month to 1,470 from 1,905 transactions reported in December of 2011. At the same time, the average number of days a home remained on the market rose to 37 days compared to 30 days a year earlier.

“Sales in the City of Toronto were impacted by a number of factors in 2012,” says Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s (TREB’s) Senior Manager of Market Analysis. These included the recent tightening of mortgage lending guidelines, particularly the shortening of the maximum amortization period to 25 years and the one million dollar price ceiling on purchases associated with government backed mortgages.

12

resale home & condo Guide Greater Toronto Area | Jan 26 - Feb 23, 2013

Beyond these changes, home buyers in the ‘416’ area code have also been affected by the City’s upfront Land Transfer Tax, which takes money away from buyers that could otherwise be used for a larger down-payment.”

The average selling price in the City of Toronto in December was $494,127, up four per cent from $473,169 reported in December 2011 “Price growth in 2012 was driven by the low-rise segment in the City of Toronto, where market conditions remained tight even with the dip in sales, due to a short supply of listings,” says Mercer.

New Year’s resolutions for homebuyers and sellers B Y K A R A K U RY L L OW I C Z

1 | Review your mortgage agreement with your financial institution and/or a mortgage professional. “If you’re in the first year of a five-year term, the payout penalty might be so high that you decide to wait until at least the mid-point, if not the end of that term, to make a change,” says Dale Ripplinger, a Regina-based Realtor and immediate past president of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).

In addition, look into additional financing options with your mortgage professional in the event you’re simultaneously paying two mortgages or require temporary housing, adds Eleanor Hughes of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC).

2 | Assess the selling costs, which may include repairs, home appraisals and inspections, legal and real estate agent fees so that you can budget and save for them.

3 | Crunch the numbers and look ahead. Will your home’s proceeds cover your next home purchase? Do you plan to invest part of the proceeds?

4 | Purge and de-clutter six or more months in advance, because over-stuffed storage areas suggest a lack of space rather than reflecting on the homeowners’ organizational skills and hoarding tendencies, notes Ripplinger.

sellers: PURGE AND DE-CLUTTER SIX OR MORE MONTHS IN ADVANCE, BECAUSE OVER-STUFFED STORAGE AREAS SUGGEST A LACK OF SPACE

22

resale home & condo Guide Greater Toronto Area | Jan 26 - Feb 23, 2013

As well, the more you give away, sell and donate to charity, the less you’ll have to pack, ship and unpack.

Systematically go through each room and recycle or re-purpose anything that hasn’t been used in the last 12 to 18 months. Unless you absolutely adore it or it is deeply sentimental, let it go. If necessary, hire an organizational expert to keep you focused and ruthless.

5 | Identify items that are worn, outdated or don’t work, then repair or replace them.

“Everything should look as clean and new as possible,” says Ripplinger. “The greatest challenge is knowing when to stop, then not messing it up again before you put your home on the market.”

Ask friends or family to help you identify what needs to be done but be aware that they may be uncomfortable with the level of honesty required, which can make a stager, organizer or other professional better suited to the task. Some common fixes include replacing stained switch plates, repairing old caulking and dingy grout in the bathrooms, and applying a new coat of paint for a fresh and clean look. If things such as leaky roofs and basements aren’t repaired, buyers will expect a reduction in price.

Hughes points out that certain energy-efficient renovations and repairs will qualify for federal, provincial and municipal assistance.

6 | Assess comparable homes in your neighbourhood no more than three months prior to putting your home on the market because the conditions can change relatively quickly.

7 | Source and interview real estate agents at any time, but ask them to evaluate your home no more than six to eight weeks before you plan to put it on the market.

buyers: ASTUTE BUYERS SHOULD BEGIN THE FINANCIAL EDUCATION, PREPARATION AND ASSESSMENT PROCESS THE MOMENT THEY START CONTEMPLATING A PURCHASE

To preempt the likelihood of unpleasant surprises, astute buyers should begin the financial education, preparation and assessment process the moment they start contemplating a purchase.

“There is a certain amount of financial planning involved and buyers should also be prepared to provide required documentation when arranging their mortgage financing,” Hughes notes.

1 | Have Equifax, TransUnion or another agency pull your credit report. If necessary, you can commit to improving your credit rating by paying off certain creditors and loans before contacting lenders and mortgage brokers.

2 | Crunch the numbers! Can you afford it? Is it the right decision for you?

CMHC offers various tools online at cmhc.ca to help you calculate your net worth, current household budget, monthly debt payments and how much you can afford to spend on a home purchase.

CMHC also offers a Home Features Checklist to identify your wants and needs, both in the immediate and distant future. A home purchaser should plan on a down payment of at least five per cent. However, your affordability assessment may indicate you need a larger down payment or the need to reduce the price range you were considering for your home purchase, Hughes says.

3 | Get your mortgage and financing documentation in order. At the very least, lenders and mortgage brokers will demand documentation that proves your personal information, your net worth, income, employment, the amount/source of your down payment and your ability to pay the closing costs, Hughes adds. Closing costs generally range from 1.5 to four per cent of the purchase price and your lender may provide a loan to cover those costs.

4 | Get pre-approved for a mortgage to determine the amount you can afford based on the lender’s review of your finances. This will also provide written confirmation of the interest rate that will hold for a specified period of time.

5 | Search online and print ads (editor’s note: Resale Home & Condo Guide is a great source!) for homes in your desired location and price range with your preferred features. Get a feel for what’s out there by viewing photos, videos and attending open houses. You can do this anytime, but remember that prices and the number of quality listings will fluctuate according to the market.

6 | Look for a Realtor. Ask friends and family for referrals, meet Realtors at open houses and find them when researching particular topics online. You can also go directly to the source and refer to CREA for tips on interviewing Realtors, available online at howrealtorshelp.ca.

Building Awards

recognize Toronto’s best B Y A N N HA N NA H

W

hen it comes to doing business, branding, reputation, and even friendliness, our country ranks among the best the world in study after study. As Torontonians, we should be proud of the contribution our city makes to Canada’s world standing.

One key element that fosters our outstanding international reputation is development, and to recognize some of Toronto’s foremost commercial buildings, Greater Toronto Realtors hosted a Commercial Building Awards presentation and reception on November 21st at the Toronto Real Estate Board.

During the first half of this year Realtors, developers and architects were invited to nominate various types of projects located in the GTA, including green, industrial, commercial office, commercial residential, and multiresidential and/or institutional, with one new and one retrofit building selected to receive awards.

A panel of judges comprised of professional engineer Mitch Gascoyne, Realtor Phil Nanavati, and professional quantity surveyor Paul Westbrook, evaluated projects completed between January 2009 and November 2011.

The projects were evaluated based on various criteria, such as sensitivity to the environment, design and innovation, and success in answering a specific developmental need in the community.

30

The winners were as follows: Habitat for Humanity Toronto in the new building category and Birchstone Centre in the retrofit class.

Habitat for Humanity Toronto, located at 155 Bermondsey Road, took top marks for its innovative approach to serving a number of different functions and its environmentally sustainable design. The new facility includes the organization’s Home Building Factory, training facility, ReStore East York and administrative office all under one roof.

It is also LEED Silver certified, meaning it meets stringent standards in building environmental sustainability.

Birchstone Centre, located from 3571 to 3609 Sheppard Avenue East, stood out for the energy-efficient materials used in its renovation and its ability to eliminate waste by re-using the existing building shell. In addition to its energy-efficient enhancements, the design improved functionality by adding an elevator to service medical and dental offices and was beautified by adding three glass feature towers to break up its former strip mall appearance.

Since each of the buildings nominated contributed to making Toronto a more attractive, environmentally sustainable city they also merit recognition.

They are: Yorkdale Centre, Tyler Mews, Cushman and Wakefield Toronto

resale home & condo Guide Greater Toronto Area | Jan 26 - Feb 23, 2013

East, CSREFI Canada Leaseholds Incorporated and Liberty Plaza.

Local historian Mike Filey served as the event’s keynote speaker. A noted author, tour guide and radio host, Mr. Filey offered unique insights into Toronto’s past.

The success of this event would not have been possible without the commitment of Realtors who volunteered their time to help organize it. Many also contribute to a better Toronto by volunteering their time to support various efforts in communities throughout the GTA. Nominations for the Second Annual Commercial Building Awards will be sought in 2013, with a reception and presentations to be held in winter 2014.

If you know of a building that you believe merits recognition, I encourage you to share your thoughts with a Greater Toronto Realtor.

ot all lawyers are created equal. If you needed a heart surgeon, you certainly would not go to see a podiatrist. By the same token, lawyers generally have expertise in one area greater than another. Do not believe that the granting of a law degree instantly bestows knowledge of all laws on the head of a lawyer.

The first thing you need to do to find a lawyer is the same thing you ought to be doing to find a home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; research! Where do you look? Start with media and look in magazines, newspapers, listen to radio and watch real estate television. Generally speaking, the lawyers who appear in public, speaking or writing about real estate, are thought to be experts in the area. Go to seminars and listen to the speakers. Generally, if a lawyer is taking the time to participate in a seminar, he/she knows what he/she is talking about and is happy to take on new clients that come out of those seminars.

Next, go online and check out the websites of different real estate lawyers. Look to see whether they give good, informative advice; whether they give you pricing; and whether they make you feel comfortable.

Call the Law Society of Upper Canada, Lawyer Referral Service. This service keeps lists of lawyers and refers requesting members of the public to lawyers who practice in the area requested. This just gets you someone

in the area. You really need to check them out when referred.

Speak to friends who have used a lawyer for the type of service you require and ensure they did the job professionally, courteously and for the price quoted.

Who is making the referral? Is the referral coming from a real estate agent, a mortgage broker or a bank? This is not necessarily bad, but you have to be careful. Quite often, lawyers develop relationships with various groups over the years and receive referrals because they do a great job. On the other hand, ensure that your lawyer is independent and will represent your interests even if it puts him/her into an adversarial position with one of those parties. This is quite important, so make sure you get comfortable with this issue before you hire someone.

Now to bring this back to the original idea; what you need to understand is

GdYU_ hc Zf]YbXg k\c \UjY igYX U `UkmYf Zcf h\Y hmdY cZ gYfj]WY mci fYei]fY UbX YbgifY h\Ym X]X h\Y ^cV dfcZYgg]cbU``m WcifhYcig`m UbX Zcf h\Y df]WY eichYX that there are general law practitioners just like there are family doctors. What this means is that a lawyer may have a wide-ranging practice composed of many areas. The smart lawyer who falls into this category knows that if there is a serious issue that arises outside of their expertise they should bring in a specialist, just like your family doctor would. The bad lawyers try to do it all. The general practitioner can probably handle your real estate deal just fine, but make sure he/she understands any complicated offers and that he/she reviews them carefully, pointing out any problems. Ensure that he/she knows what can be negotiated and what cannot, or you may lose your deal.

Remember, your lawyer is a very important part of the process, so take your time and find the right one.

Toronto market posts healthy price appreciation

T

oronto saw strong year-overyear price gains in the fourth quarter of 2012 for most housing types. According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast, these price gains were due to strong demand relative to inventory.

Standard two-storey homes witnessed the largest year-over-year price increase at 6.2 per cent to $668,133. Prices for detached bungalows rose 4.9 per cent year-overyear to $558,345, and standard condominiums saw an increase of 2.6 per cent to $356,865.

“In the third and fourth quarters of 2012, we began to see a disconnect between buyers and sellers,” says Gino Romanese, senior vice president, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. “Buyers had been regularly exposed to news that made them cautious about purchasing a property with the concern

36

that prices might drop. However, sellers generally did not share that view and were prepared to wait it out in anticipation of the upcoming and traditionally much busier first and second quarters of the year.”

In 2013, Royal LePage expects real estate values in Toronto to increase a more modest one per cent compared to 2012. Romanese notes that the forecast reflects an average of two different housing markets in Toronto.

“The pipeline of buyers in Toronto seeking single-family homes will remain strong throughout 2013, however, we do expect to see some softening in the condo market,” notes Romanese. He says that older condos, which are generally larger, and more specifically those that are in more desirable areas, will likely out-perform newer units that target investors and young professionals given the availability of such product.

resale home & condo Guide Greater Toronto Area | Jan 26 - Feb 23, 2013

“Most real estate decisions are based on life events such as the establishing of new households, growing family requirements, downsizing or retirement. As the market remains stable through the first half of 2013, I expect both sellers and buyers to come off the fence as they realize that significant price increases or decreases are not likely to happen,” adds Romanese.

Nationally, the average price of a home increased year-over-year between two and four per cent in the fourth quarter of 2012. In the fourth quarter, standard two-storey homes rose 4.0 per cent year-over-year to $390,444, while detached bungalows increased 3.6 per cent to $356,790. National average prices for standard condominiums increased 2.0 per cent to $239,374.

How to create the perfect

guest bedroom B Y E V E LY N E S H U N

W

hen creating a guest room, it is often important to create a self-contained suite where your guest can be comfortable and find most of the personal comforts of home. Just think of a hotel suite and the various elements that can be found within it. The bed is the key piece of furniture in a bedroom so it’s important to make it a luscious and welcoming space. You can’t go wrong with classic crisp white bedding — get the best quality bedding you can find and afford and your guest will have a memorable and restful sleep. Storage for clothing is

a must so that your guests can put away their clothes which gives them a sense of permanence in the room. A chair and a table surface are needed for multi-tasking as it gives them an opportunity to sit and write or simply chat on the phone.

Don’t forget to add an alarm clock with a radio, and a mirror for personal grooming — these items are often an oversight.

This bedroom was created with the aim of making it welcoming and warm with lots of storage to maintain a neat and clean look. We incorporated built-in storage on either side of the bed to include full-depth 24-inch hanging closet

Duxbury Grey, HC 163 Benjamin Moore

IF THE GUEST ROOM DOES NOT HAVE AN ENSUITE BATH, PROVIDE THE ROOM WITH A GUEST PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES ITEMS LIKE: TOWELS, GUEST SOAP, A MANICURE SET, WATER AND A GLASS. space with nightstands at the standard 26-inch height. This complete unit was painted a muted deep blue-grey colour (Duxbury Grey, Benjamin Moore HC 163). This creates a focal wall and is ultimately a very functional addition to the overall space as well.

The monochromatic colour scheme is continued in the bedding with silk accent pillows. Lighting is always a key component to any successful interior, and in this bedroom we added task lighting with the wall-mounted elbow lights that flank the bed. The ceilingmounted light fixture is a sophisticated light feature with its crystal and translucent shade that soften the light in the space.

If the guest room does not have an ensuite bath, provide the room with a guest package which includes items like: towels, guest soap, a manicure set, water and a glass. A small pouch filled with lavender not only will ensure a wonderful, restful sleep but it is a much welcomed luxury.

GUEST ROOM CHECKLIST:

› Use a calm and cosy colour scheme, stick to two colours maximum with muted shades › Ensure that there is adequate lighting with task lighting at the bed for late night reading › Provide seating and a table surface for writing › Provide a collection of towels, extra blankets and other personal need items so that your guest does not have to knock on your bedroom door to ask for them › Seasonal fresh flowers and water on the night table to welcome your guest is a thoughtful touch › Night stands or simple side tables beside the bed for a place to rest personal items › Adequate storage for clothing › Bedside alarm clock with a radio › Provide a mirror, especially if there is no ensuite bath

MARKET COMMENTARY

Courtesy of Toronto Real Estate Board

HALTON REGION

PEEL REGION/ ORANGEVILLE

CITY OF TORONTO

In December 2012, Halton was the only GTA region that experienced a sales increase over the same period in 2011.

While GTA-wide resale transactions fell 20 per cent, they rose nine per cent in Halton to 253.

“Halton Region has remained popular for home buyers looking to purchase low-rise home types across market segments, from entry-level properties through to luxury homes on estate style lots,” says Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Halton’s average selling price in December was $524,926 – up eight per cent from an average of $486,901 reported in December 2011.

“Market conditions in Halton remained tight in December with the annual rate of growth for sales outstripping that of new listings.

Furthermore, the average number of days a home remained on the market was down slightly from last year, a further indicator of a tight market. There remains substantial competition between buyers, which is why we continue to see a very strong rate of price growth from a historic perspective,” says Mercer.

In December 2012, Toronto MLS transactions across Peel Region/ Orangeville dipped 23 per cent to 807. At the same time, the average time taken to sell a house rose to 33 days from 25 days a year earlier.

“Peel Region experienced a yearover-year decline in sales that was slightly greater than the GTA average of almost 20 per cent. The key issue since the summer was the stricter mortgage lending guidelines that came into effect in July. The resultant higher cost of home ownership prompted some households to put their decision to purchase on hold,” says Jason Mercer, Senior Manager of Market Analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).

Peel’s average selling price in December was $427,762 – up five per cent annually from $409,296 reported in December 2011.

“While sales were down on an annual basis in the second half of 2012, the average selling price continued to grow,” says Mercer. “Active listings in many parts of the GTA have remained below pre-recession levels, especially for lowrise home types. There has been enough competition between buyers to result in sustained price increases.”

Toronto MLS sales on the City of Toronto fell 23 per cent last month to 1,470 from 1,905 transactions reported in December of 2011. At the same time, the average number of days a home remained on the market rose to 37 days compared to 30 days one year earlier.

“Sales in the City of Toronto were impacted by a number of factors in 2012,” says Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s (TREB’s) Senior Manager of Market Analysis. These included the recent tightening of mortgage lending guidelines, particularly the shortening of the maximum amortization period to 25 years and the one million dollar price ceiling on purchases associated with government backed mortgages. Beyond these changes, home buyers in the ‘416’ area code have also been affected by the City’s up front Land Transfer Tax, which takes money away from buyers that could otherwise be used for a larger down-payment.”

The average selling price in the City of Toronto in December was $494,127, up four per cent from $473,169 reported in December 2011 “Price growth in 2012 was driven by the low-rise segment in the City of Toronto, where market conditions remained tight even with the dip in sales, due to a short supply of listings,” says Mercer.

Windsor is Canada’s

West

most affordable market

W

for ‘aspirational’ home

indsor, Ontario was dubbed “Canada’s most affordable market” in a recent study by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. According to the annual Home Listing Report, the average list price in 2012 of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom “aspirational” home in Windsor was $170,991. It was the only major market under $200,000 in the study, which looked at 75 markets across Canada.

Ontario accounted for five of the 10 most affordable markets in the study (see chart), while an additional three markets were in Atlantic Canada. Close to 30 Canadian markets had an average home listing price of less than $300,000 for a four-bedroom, two-bathroom “aspirational” home.

“An aspirational home is a home that someone would aspire to,” says Barbara Zaprzala, PR & Corporate Communications at Coldwell Banker Canada. “It could be detached, attached, a townhome and so on, but it’s typically not a starter home – it’s what is aspired to by move-up buyers.”

The report analyzed more than 72,000 home listings in approximately 2,500 North American markets, comparing the listing prices of similar homes from January 2012 to June 2012.

“Our home listing report captures an insightful look at local market conditions and emerging trends in real estate,” says John Geha, president of Coldwell Banker Canada Operations ULC. “Although home prices have reached record highs in many markets across Canada, there are still affordable options available to homebuyers, especially those who are able to work from home, or who make the decision to trade location for commute.”

MOST EXPENSIVE MARKETS

Vancouver held its position as the most expensive market in Canada, with an average list price of $1,876,414 for the subject home. Nearby Richmond ($1,181,654) and Burnaby ($917,968) followed Vancouver as the B.C. markets secured the top three spots in Canada.

“The universal appeal of Vancouver for foreign buyers and relocating Canadians, particularly retirees, continues to fuel demand for this market,” says Paul Prade, president of Coldwell Banker Westburn Realty. “Despite some moderation after new mortgage regulations took effect last July, listing prices in our market are a product of ongoing high demand, projected population growth and the low inventory levels of homes in what is one of the most desirable locations in Canada.”

U.S. MOST AFFORDABLE

Not surprisingly, the most affordable markets in North America in 2012 were in the U.S. Four of the top 20 most affordable markets are located in Michigan, where bidding wars are making headlines, particularly in pockets of the metro Detroit region.

“Canadians are well aware of the wealth of real estate opportunities that are currently available in many U.S. markets,” says Geha. “In fact, Canadians are the number one foreign buyers in the U.S., with a particularly strong presence in warm weather destinations such as Florida and Arizona that are favoured by Canadian ‘snowbirds’.”

WHAT’S AVAILABLE AND WHAT IT COSTS Toronto MLS home sales in York Region/Simcoe County fell 17 per cent to 750 from 906 transactions reported in December 2011.

The number of new listings was down on a year-over-year basis as well but by a lesser rate. Total active listings at the end of the month remained above December 2011 levels.

“York Region sales followed the dominant GTA-wide trend in the last half of 2012, with transactions down compared to last year and inventory up. This suggests that buyers have started to benefit from more choice in the marketplace,” says Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

48

resale home & condo Guide Greater Toronto Area | Jan 26 - Feb 23, 2013

The average selling price for York Region in December was up by 11 per cent to $570,651, compared to an average of $512,344 reported during the same month in 2011.

“While the market became better supplied over the past few months, we are continuing to see strong price growth from a historic perspective. With more listings for buyers to choose from, however, it is likely that we will see a slower pace of price growth as we move through 2013,” says Mercer.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE AND WHAT IT COSTS Toronto MLS sales and listings were down on an annual basis in Durham Region in December. There were 410 sales – down 18 per cent compared to 498 sales in December 2011. Over the same period, new listings were down by 16 per cent to 455.

“With sales and listings down by a similar amount compared to 2011, market conditions remained tight in Durham Region,” says Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “With quite a bit of competition between buyers, the average selling price continued to increase.”

resale home & condo Guide Greater Toronto Area | Jan 26 - Feb 23, 2013

The average selling price in Durham was $327,271 in December – up five per cent over an average of $311,942 in December 2011.

“A further sign of strong demand for homes in Durham was the fact that the average number of days a home remained on the market edged down to 32 days compared to 36 days in December 2011. Durham remains a popular destination for households searching for value in the detached market segment,” says Mercer.

Heed the warnings and

choose your Realtor wisely

BY YA N GU R E V IC H

J

uliette lived in the same house since she was three-years-old – a bungalow in a neighbourhood full of post-WW2, single-story homes. With her parents long gone, Juliet was now married with two kids and a large SUV that didn’t fit in the garage. While her girls playing in the driveway gave her memories of simpler days, she knew it was time to move on.

She and her husband needed help finding a newer, modern home. She set up interviews with local and recommended agents. When the doorbell rang, Juliette gazed back at her husband and said: “I wish mom and dad were here to do this.”

Dear Juliette, here are some nonstandard qualities your parents might look for, if they were interviewing agents with you: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: No agent can help you write the next chapter of your life if they don’t care or respect where you have been. Do they care enough to learn about your family life and how to minimize shock of the move on you and your children?

LOOK OUT FOR: Agents who feign interest and/or say what you want to hear.

SHUT UP AND LISTEN: Not you – the agent! Do they know how to listen? Are they only trying to impress you with their knowledge and success stories or are they asking you the right questions that will help them determine how best to help you?

LOOK OUT FOR: Agents who don’t let you finish your sentences, who don’t write things down, who push you into making decisions.

DELIVER ON SHORT-TERM PROMISES: All agents should arrive prepared with information about the neighborhood,

market and the home you are trying to sell. But you should prepare one or two assignments for the agent that are relatively easy to accomplish within a few hours or a day: a piece of information, an analysis, a list of services ... then see how soon they get back to you.

LOOK OUT FOR: General answers, excuses and responses that don’t address the assignment.

BUSY AGENT VS. FREE AGENT: Some agents may show you all of their awards, but pass your deal onto a junior agent.

A less experienced agent may give you all the time in the world, but may lack the skills and experience to do all of the right things. Who is going to handle your deal and will they ask for help if they get in over their head during the process?

NAME THAT BROKERAGE: Remember, your Listing or Buyer Agreement is not with the agent, but with their brokerage. Pay close attention to the brokerage’s reputation.

Are they established, reputable, a name you recognize and trust? Will you be comfortable calling the broker of record and requesting better, or different, service which may, or may not include the agent you chose?

LOOK OUT FOR: The broker of record won’t call you back; they don’t offer much information about their agent.

TOUGH LOVE: Your agent must be, among many things, an expert negotiator. Plan two or three points of contention during your interview and watch the agent’s response. Are they adept at dealing with adversity? How will they fare in the trenches when they argue price, unique conditions and fees?
