| Wednesday, 20 January 2010, 05:03:02 PM | | | | Spring is typically a popular time to sell a home. In today’s sellers market, many homeowners have considered “going it alone” and selling their homes without the help of a REALTOR® to “save the commission.” However, once they realize how complex and intimidating a real estate transaction can be, most people reconsider and enlist the services of a REALTOR® to guide them.
In reality, a “for sale by owner” transaction usually doesn’t result in the cost savings the homeowner may have hoped for. Most often, “for sale by owner” translates into “discount” for potential homebuyers. As well, the sale of a home requires an organized, step-bystep approach that many homeowners just don’t have the time, skill or experience to carry out.
Do You Have The Time?
A REALTOR® provides many services including identifying your needs and wants, helping to set a listing price within current market guidelines, developing a marketing plan, offering tips and advice to make your home more attractive and “saleable,” and acting on your behalf during negotiations to ensure your interests are protected. Even if you had the time to do all this yourself, how much would you really save when you factor in the amount of time you’d have to invest.
Another advantage of working with a REALTOR® is the far reaching exposure you will receive.
REALTOR® Expertise
A REALTOR® has vast amounts of real estate knowledge and the experience required to stay cool, even in a hot real estate market. In Ontario, a REALTOR® is a licensed real estate professional who is a member of a local real estate board as well as the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). When you work with a REALTOR®, you can expect strict adherence to provincial law as well as to a code of ethics ensuring you’ll receive the highest level of service, honesty and integrity. The Mississauga Real Estate Board provides to its members continuous education and information updates on a local level in order for its members to better serve you, their clients.
Setting A Price
One of the most important services a REALTOR® will provide is helping you determine the “asking price” of your home. Setting a sales price is one of the most difficult and yet critical steps in the home-selling process. This is an area that requires extensive knowledge and training as well as access to sophisticated market analysis. Most “do-it-yourselfers” lack these resources and end up “guessing” at their price. If you set your price too high, many prospective buyers will be frightened off without even looking at the property; too low, and you could miss out on thousands of dollars.
Selling your home is not a simple procedure. It involves large sums of money, stringent legal requirements and the potential for costly mistakes. A REALTOR® is committed to spending the time it takes to help you sell your home in the least amount of time and for the best possible price. It is important to realize that proper pricing, expert and effective negotiating skills can actually net more even after REALTOR® fees.

| Posted on Sun, 17 Jan 2010, 10:31:13 AM in My services | | In today's very active investment and residential real estate market it is imperative that you have an agent who not only is willing to give you the time and do the legwork but also one who is looking exclusively after your interests. It’s not just a matter of one transaction; it’s about forging life long client relationships. These sorts of life long relationships are based on one fundamental thing: trust.
How have many homeowners, purchasers, and others built trust in me? Primarily, by seeing the way I conduct myself day-to-day and in business, but the references I receive from sellers, purchasers, and colleagues and, of course, by the results I achieve.
• Answer to only the highest and veracious business and personal standards.
• Being available for all my clients twenty-four hours a day
• Working effectively and industriously
• By continually educating myself and improving my methods to remain consistently on the leading edge of my profession: politically, socially, and economically.
• Never compromising my integrity
• Having the driving ambition to client satisfaction
• Guiding my clients through their major financial and emotional decisions with wisdom, understanding and exceptional service.
My clients consistently show their trust and confidence in me by referring friends and business associates on a regular basis. It is the finest compliment a Realtor can receive.
