What goes into listing your home?

You would be surprised to know that most of the work involved in selling a home actually happens before it even goes on the market.
When you first see a property your hopefully seeing at its very best and most marketable, but most people don’t really know what happens behind the scenes.
First we do a market analysis of the property and compare it to other properties that have recently sold or are currently on the market. Then we try to determine who will buy the home and how they will live. The property has been cleaned, painted and we  occasionally work with home stagers to furnish and redecorate if needed. If it has outdoor space we get someone to come in and give it a proper grooming. Sometimes, a home inspection report has been conducted and many of the small faults have been repaired. We have taken professional pictures and virtual tours, created floor plans and uploaded this information onto our website and the companies site. We have talk about it at our company meetings, prepared justed listed cards and flyers and create a social media buzz . We also have collected data and garnered our collegues opinions to arrive at the perfect price and marketing strategy. Of course all of this happens before the house is listed on MLS, once there, our job is to present the home to other realtors, field inquires and host open houses for the public. The idea is to show the property in is absolute best light, to attract the right buyer. We want to minimize any disturbance, safe guard your possessions and ultimately get the money for your property.

Six things to know about real estate deposits

By: Real Estate, Published on Fri May 16 2014

When you make an offer on a house you have to put down a deposit. Here are some things to keep in mind.

Before you get to the happy moment of getting the keys to your new house, there are plenty of stressful moments. Mark Weisleder helps you navigate the path.

Here are some answers to common questions about deposits when you are buying a house.

When must a deposit be paid?

In Ontario, the standard real estate contract gives the buyer two choices; you can pay the deposit immediately when you make an offer, or you can agree to pay it within twenty four hours after the seller accepts it. Most buyers prefer the second option. If you are in a bidding war, you will be encouraged to come up with the deposit immediately, to show good faith to the seller.

Can the buyer get out of a deal by refusing to pay the deposit?

No. Once the deal is accepted, you can’t change your mind. If you do, the seller can sell the property again and if he gets less money than you were going to pay the seller can sue you for the difference, plus legal fees.

What happens if the deposit is paid late?

The seller has the right to cancel the deal. This is because all time limits matter in a real estate contract and if you are late, even by a few minutes, the seller can try and cancel. I have seen this happen many times, especially when the seller knows that there is another buyer out there who will pay more money. If you need more time to come up with your deposit, say so in your offer.

How much should a buyer pay as a deposit?

This is a tough question, and will largely depend on where your home is located. In Toronto, deposits are now usually up to 5 per cent of the sale price. In Brampton, it is closer to 2 per cent. In some areas of Ontario, deposits can be as little as a few hundred dollars.

Why does the deposit go to the seller’s real estate agent and not the seller?

If the seller goes bankrupt or disappears with the deposit, the buyer is not protected. When the deposit is held by the real estate brokerage, it is in trust and is also protected by insurance so even if the brokerage goes bankrupt, the buyer can get their money back.

If the buyer is unhappy with their home inspection, can the seller refuse to return the deposit?

This happens more than you think. A deposit cannot be released unless both the buyer and seller agree. If a seller believes the buyer did not act in good faith in trying to satisfy their condition, whether it is a home inspection, financing or a condominium status certificate review, they can refuse to release the deposit. This means it stays in the broker’s trust account until a judge decides who gets it, which can take years. As a precaution, buyers should consider making two deposits in their offer, a small one of say one per cent when the offer is accepted, and a second larger deposit once the condition is satisfied.

Understand the rules about deposits before you sign any real estate contract. It is expensive to change your mind later.
