Fish Creek Provincial Park

Fish Creek Provincial Park is the second largest urban park in Canada, with more than 100 kilometres of hiking and biking trails. Birding enthusiasts can observe more than 200 bird species along with Great Blue Herons, ducks, geese, songbirds, and bald eagles that nest along the Bow River valley. The Provincial Park is so large it includes a boat launch, the McKenzie Meadows Golf Course, The Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant, and the Sikome Aquatic Facility for a family friendly day at the beach.

In today’s blog, I’m going to talk about investing in real estate.

But, before I get into the content, I want to share a story about a client of mine, Stephanie. For many years, Stephanie didn’t think she would ever own a house of her own So naturally, she never envisioned being the proud owner of three properties.

But luckily, Stephanie was able to utilize my knowledge of the local market And just a handful of years after purchasing her first home, Stephanie has been able to obtain several income properties and is getting ever so closer to financial freedom.

In this blog, I’m going to talk about the four different types of home sellers

That I encounter on a regular basis

And how each one of them can benefit from working with an agent.

Now, before I get into the content, I want to share a story about a client of mine, Maria. 

In this blog, I’m going to tell you all about the different types of homebuyers I encounter regularly. 

But, before I get into the content I want to share a story with you about some clients of mine, Chris, and Julie. Chris and Julie purchased their first home a few years prior before we met and things didn’t go smoothly. As first-time buyers, they neglected to get pre-approved for a mortgage before they started shopping around. As a result, they were devastated when they lost their dream home because they didn’t have financing in place. 

When Chris and Julie were finally ready to buy their next home, they arrived highly motivated and prepared. We worked together to get their finances in line before we started shopping. They asked plenty of questions along the way and when we found their new dream home, we were able to make an offer quickly, and it was accepted just as quickly!

Now, the moral of the story is to work with an agent every step of the way, so you don’t encounter any avoidable disappointments that could cost you the perfect home.

So if you want to be as prepared as Chris and Julie, 

Here are the different types of home buyers and which ones find success. 

Here are some tips and tricks that you can do to save yourselves time and money.

Know when Homes sell

It is important to know when the majority of homes are going on the market. In most areas houses hit the market in the summertime. Most people don’t wanna sell their homes in the winter. So they wait. That tells you 2 things. In the summer months, you have access to a larger inventory of homes to buy and in the winter months you have less selection but buyers are more eager to sell. If you’re looking for something specific it makes sense to wait until the summer rolls around. You’ll be competing with more buyers but you have more homes to choose from. If your mind is open the winter months can be the best time to snap up a bargain.

Get pre-approval

Make sure how to get your property sold fast and for the best possible price you need to know how to stage your property. Failing to stage your home can cost you and your property can lose its value in the market.
