Just a quick note of thanks for your letter of appreciation relating to the purchase our new home at 2 Rean Drive, GV213 – January 12, 2012.
My husband Randy and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the amazing support and guidance we received from your organization, but even more specifically, from your sales associated, Barb Consky. Barb was referred to us by Randy’s business associate who has purchased and sold his homes with Barb numerous times.
Throughout the course of purchasing our home on Rean Drive, Barb made sure we understood every step of the process, addressing our clarifying questions quickly and honestly. She processed an in-depth knowledge of the real estate market in the area we were looking for, as well as an excellent overall understanding of the industry. Barb’s fight to secure our new home was well planned and strategic. We WON in a competitive bid scenario (even keeping below our agreed limit we had set for this purchase).
Our only regret this past six months is that we did not engage Barb for the sale of our home in Mississauga (thinking it would be better to use a local agent, as the real estate agent community in Mississauga is small and cliquish and we felt best not to bring in an outside agent). Having said that, the process of selling was a difficult and unsatisfying experience. In hindsight, without doubt, Barb would have made this transaction more comfortable and satisfying to all parties involved. She is a win/win negotiator.
So again, thank you for Bosley Real Estate’s help and we will be singing Bosley and Barb’s praise whenever the chance presents itself.
SELLING YOUR HOME ON YOUR OWN - OR USING A REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON
SELLING YOUR HOME - WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME?
Home value sometimes referred to as "Value in Use", is best described as the probable price at which a home trades in a free, competitive, and open market and is synonymous with the market value.
If you have decided that now is the time to sell your home, you might be thinking: should I hire a Real Estate Sales Representative or do it alone. Have you ever considered repairing your own car? Anyone can buy the tools and parts. However, most of us just do not have the knowledge, training, experience or the expertise and commitment of time to do the job properly. Besides, there are plenty of experienced professionals to do the work for us.
When should I sell my home? Your answer to this question might be right now! If you have taken a job in another city or made an offer on a new home, or had an addition to your family, selling your home fast might be the most important goal you have. Most people, however, have some flexibility when they sell their home. Let us take a closer look at the most important factors that can go into this decision.
There are many television shows today that focus on home staging. If you have not watched any, do yourself a favor and tune in. They all say the same thing: do not even consider putting your house on the market until you have taken a close look at its condition. Experienced sales people know that you only have one shot at impressing potential buyers, so take some time to prepare your home for showings. You will be rewarded with a faster sale and a higher offer.
A very accurate saying is that "Any home will sell once you get the price right." Of course, this is usually said from the perspective of dropping a price until it's too attractive to pass up. Actually, the accurate pricing of your home prior to listing is as much an art as it is a science.
A great many moves in our lives are to larger residences to accommodate growing families. Or, perhaps our financial development allows us to move up to a larger home with more features and amenities. There is no stress involved in trying to reduce our life’s stuff to fit into a smaller place. If anything, we just need to shop for some more furniture for the new larger place.
