Prayers for Peace and Preservation of our Priviledge of being Canadian

What a poignant representation of how we all feel regarding the loss of our fallen soldiers, both here and abroad. We can never forget that 100 years ago, the War to End all Wars was to be our last, yet was followed by World War 2, Korean War, Viet Nam deteriorating into the type of war we see today...heinous acts of terror without any warning. Without any rules. How do we stop this downward spiral undermining our Peace on this side of the world? By remembering the fallen this November 11 and Prayers for Peace to preserve our privileged way of life here in Canada.

Five Tips for Home Buyers

Buying a home is one of the biggest emotional, stressful and financial decisions you'll ever make. At the same time, moving is rated as one of the most exciting times in one's life. 

Not only are there a lot of things to think about such as the location, affordability, mortgage term and rates, to name a few, there’s also the fact that you will be dealing with realtors, lenders, lawyers, sellers and so on.

Five Tips for Home Buyers:

1)  Remember that once you've purchased a home, you'll need to continue saving money.  Home ownership comes with all kinds of surprises including general house maintenance and upkeep.

2)  Does your family rely on your income to make mortgage payments?  Well then, you should purchase life insurance.  This may be an option once you have a mortgage; however, applying for your own policy through an insurance agent will likely save you money.

3)  With the purchase of a home comes general upkeep so be prepared to renovate.  Anything is possible and you may find you've encountered an urgency and need to renovate right away.  For instance, basement flooding,  roof repairs or new flooring.

4)  Be prepared to pay more than the appraised value of the home.  You'll want to be sure of your financing in order to avoid mortgage loan insurance.  Don't make a firm offer unless you are sure of your finances.

5)  Researching the builder of the home is always a good idea.  Ask the home-owners if they were satisfied with the builders work and find out how many home's they've built in the last 10 years.  As well, you'll want to know whether they've had any claims.

"Rest assured with the Five Step Marketing Strategy"

Important Information for First Time Home Buyers:

Buying a home is rated as one of the most exciting yet stressful times in one's life.  It is by far one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make.  So, I've put together a few important tips when making an offer on a home.

Here they are:

1. In order to make an offer, you will need to be up to date on current market information as well as require professional help when drafting your offer.  So, you are best to hire a Real Estate Professional.
2. Be aware of "conditional offers."  This typically means that there may be one or more conditions on the purchase such as subject to home inspection, subject to financing, or subject to sale of buyer's existing home.  The home is not sold until the conditions are met.
3. An "acceptance to offer" is presented to a seller who may accept the offer, reject it or submit a counter-offer which means the counter-offer may be in reference to the price, closing date, or any number variables. *Offers can go back and forth until both parties have agreed to terms or either side ends the negotiations.

Remember: there are lots of things to think about when purchasing a home and this can be quite emotional!  You will be dealing with a number of people such as the realtor, lender, lawyer, seller and so on.

Think about the following:

• Location
• Affordability
• Mortgage term and rate
