Lower property values have been challenging for sellers. They can find themselves wishing for the offer they turned down last month. The professional agent has a challenging job: how to please the seller and give honest and sometimes difficult advice? It starts with a thorough assessment of the market and a sound evaluation of the property. The professional agent then educates the seller through regular market updates so that when an offer comes in, the right decision can be made.

Many buyers can become frustrated when they find themselves sitting on the fence, unable to decide whether to buy or not. It’s an unhappy place for buyer and Realtor alike. Perhaps they’re not sure what they're looking for. They might not be ready or able to buy. The professional Realtor helps by educating the buyer, providing professional advice and being the steady hand that moves the process forward. The professional Realtor understands that it is not his or her job to force buyers to buy. It is to help them off the fence – even if it means not buying right now.

As Realtors, we make it our business to be aware of programs that can benefit home owners. For instance, do you know about the BC Gov't "LiveSmart"program? LiveSmart encourages home owners to install energy saving renovations and improvements by offering cash rebates. For instance, improving airtightness can result in a $400 rebate. Increasing the R value in your attic can result in a $600 rebate - other insulation upgrades can be worth up to $1,200! The LiveSmart program runs until March 31, 2014. For more information, go to livesmartbc.ca.

The contract of purchase and sale is the principal document used to facilitate real estate transactions. At its most basic, this document consists of "the 3 P's": the price, the parties and the property. Of course, there are many other elements that must be set out between the parties -closing dates, subject clauses, deposits, etc. Did you know, the typical offer can involve 15 pages or more? No wonder Realtors spend so much time, effort and training on drafting contracts!
