In the interest of awareness…if you are selling your home privately…please be careful. Sign nothing without your lawyer reviewing it first.
Unlicensed people claiming to be realtors are submitting these to unsuspecting sellers, who end up selling their homes for less than their value and assigning them to other people, Or even straw buyers at a higher price. Realtors must be licensed and insured.

I’ve seen one locally, recently. Luckily, they noticed something was fishy and asked me to look at it.

I am beyond excited to announce that I have invested in my own virtual tour equipment to help make the listing process as smooth and timely as possible and to provide my clients with the latest technology to professionally portray your home.
Buyers can tour your home…view floor plans and even use the interactive tools to see if their couch will fit!
The great news is, I can also do a tour for you if you have a B&B you’re wanting to showcase, a hotel…a venue, a trailer! The sky is the limit!

Are you a landlord looking to sell your investment? A tenant with a landlord who is selling?
There are rules that apply when selling a tenanted property which you should be aware of, to avoid delays and potential fines.
Notice cannot be given until the property has an accepted offer on it, not at the time it is listed.
Once an offer is accepted and firm a landlord can then give notice to the tenant to vacate...The notice must be 60 days from the date rent period... and must be on the N12 form, available on the LTB website. for example. If the home sells April 4, the 60 days notice period begins May 1st, with vacant possession being June 30. The N12 Form must be used.
A landlord may apply to the housing tribunal for an order of eviction once the notice is served on the tenant and does not need to wait until the notice period expires, as with other notices.
The landlord must compensate the tenant one months rent, or offer another rental unit that is acceptable to the tenant.
If the new purchaser intends to purchase the home as an investment, they must assume the existing tenant.

The lease must be month to month....if you are in a term for a specific time that term must be expired prior to offering the home for vacant occupancy.

I provide this information to ensure that you know the steps involved and that your sale is as smooth as possible, without potential delays. If the process is not completed correctly, there can be delays...

I am providing a link the the list of forms used, please review the form N12 for additional information.

Let's talk about exclusive vs mls listings. When signing a contract with your realtor it is important to understand what service is being provided....there are significant differences between the two.

With an exclusive listing the exposure of your home is limited to only one brokerage, it also will not be placed on the mls. This can significantly reduce your potential to get the best value for your home, as the number of buyers it will be exposed to will be smaller.

With an mls listing your home can be shown by any licensed realtor across ontario...it will be listed on a number of various websites...exposing your home to our largest market, southern ontario. With more buyers exposed to your home your potential to get the most value is increased substantially.

When signing a listing agreement be diligent in ensuring you are selecting the service that will achieve the most exposure and best price for your home.
