My Experience Works for You when Selling or Buying
I was owner/operator of a design/build construction company for over 20 years and received Provincial Accreditation for Residential Design. I know and understand quality and design from the foundation up.
This really helps in the selling process because I can quickly identify potential issues before a buyer does and recommend cost effective ways to remedy them before it becomes a problem and you end up with less money for your house or worse, no sale at all.
The toughest task every buyer faces is eliminating homes that are unsuitable or have issues. Each home has it's own unique character and quirks, recognizing and differentiating minor issues from major ones will assist you to make an informed decision and help in negotiating a fair price for your next, or first, home purchase.
Choosing an Investment Property
With all the excitement in the financial and stock markets many investors are returning to the age old strength of Real Estate Investments. The first decision is what area of real estate you are comfortable with. Residential and commercial properties each have advantages and disadvantages as does investing in future development lands. With so many options and variables speaking with an experienced REALTOR ® like myself is the first step. By discussing different opportunities and your needs I strive to find a match and then analyze each potential investment for the key factor "will it make money"! We move forward only once we have done the required due diligence to insure that you make informed decisions and are ready to let your money work for you. If you are interested in an informal chat about your choices and future in the real estate market call or email.

Mortgage Rates Increase
With all the concern about the real estate "bubble" about to burst in some of Canada's major markets like Toronto and growing concerns over increased public debt the banks have begun to tighten up lending rules and increase rates. Mortgage rate increases have been a typical part of the yearly spring market as lenders take advantage of the heated real estate market. What does this mean for you. If you have not already done so, meet with your lender or mortgage broker so you can lock in a good rate before you start shopping for a home. Most institutions will guarantee a rate from 30 -90 days or more, depending on market conditions, and if rates drop will offer you the better rate when you're ready to purchase. Feel free to contact Alex if you have any questions about how this effects transferring an existing mortgage to your next home purchase.
