What time frame do most buyers want to move in?
I get that question quite often. We see a whole variety of dates and requests for a possession date for buyers. Probably the most common phrase you will see on a MLS listing or marketing piece for a home for sale is a 30 day/negotiable possession date offering.
Sometimes buyers will get all worked up on the number. "They said 30 ...

Sometimes homeowners have questions or concerns about who is accessing their home and when. These are normal concerns, and it's ok to ask them of your REALTOR. Our home is our castle and you have the right to know who is coming and going and when they are to be accessing your home.
The real estate agents that belong to the Central Alberta REALTORS Association all use what is called a ...

With the change in the economy and employment we've unfortunately have seen an increase in the number of foreclosed properties on the market. While foreclosures are not new, the increase in the number of foreclosed homes has made them more and more common place. Due to this increase we've had a number of questions pertaining to foreclosures and the process such as:
Can I still negotiate ...

This weeks question pertains to the deposit on an offer to purchase.
I get the deposit if the buyer doesn't buy my house right? (asked from a seller)
A common question this is on what happens to the deposit and why we would ask and hold one. The deposit is part of the offer to purchase and would only be forfeited to the seller if the buyer removed conditions and failed to close on the ...

We've been declined for financing and can't buy the property we put an offer in on. Do I have to sign a non-waiver or does the deal just die?
Many people are under the impression that once that condition day comes and goes, the deal is dead and the deposit is automatically refunded to the buyer. This may not always be the case.
The Residential Offer To Purchase states:

What do I have to disclose to a buyer?
Great question, and quite a common one. In real estate transactions it is often the best course of action to always disclose when it comes to defects in the property or troubles from days gone by. The last thing you would want is for the basement to be wet come spring time and the new owner learns from the neighbor that "oh ya they had water there ...
