About Thompson Nicola, BC

So you finally decided to make an offer on the home you saw three times in the past 30 days. You sit down with your agent and decide on the best price.

Contrary to the REALTORS® CMA you decide to offer below FMV. You wait all night and wonder what the seller will decide. Late the next day, your REALTOR® calls to tell you your offer was countered...FULL PRICE! Woah...now wait a minute, who does this seller think they are you wonder.

Dont take it personal. It does not mean they will not negotiate. All it means is that they do not feel your top line will reach their bottom line, so they dont want to continue negotiations. It does not mean they will not accept less.

They may be willing to accept just slightly higher than your top line. If you are in this situation, dont frett. You may still be able to get your favorite home. You just need to counter no later than a day or two while the iron is still hot.

Nothing excites me more than negotiating real estate deals. It's my business and I can be your greatest asset when you purchase your next home. Call me for a consultation today and see how easy a real estate transaction with me can be.

Selling your home without a representative. You are probably taking on this task to save money. That's ok, I may not be able to save you money depending on how much you need out of your home. However, I am able to save you money in your search for your next home. I am able to assist you as a buyers agent and my services are at no cost to you. I get paid by the seller. You may be wondering why you should use me if you can go to the seller direct? Almost every seller wants more than market value for their home, which in most cases is the reason they are selling without the services of a real estate company. Some realtors refuse to take overpriced listings which leaves the sellers no choice but to sell on their own.

Many MLS listings are overpriced as well and if there is an offer, you can be sure the listing agent is looking after the sellers best interest, not the buyers. As your representative, once we find your home I will find it's true market value and make sure you do not pay too much. I have saved thousands of asking price for my buyers. I have a database of for sale by owners and properties not currently advertised as well as the MLS. Using me as your buyers agent will give you the competitive edge when it comes time to buy your next home. I Guarantee It! In fact I offer buyers my Love it or Leave Guarantee. If you are not happy with your home within the first year, I will list it for FREE.

If you're still SERIOUS about selling your home I can help. But I wouldn't be interested in selling it UNLESS we sat down together first to discuss the reasons it didn't sell the first time.

I have a very special tool we'd need to go over together...called a Merchandising Review Form. It lists every factor that determines whether or not a property will sell, and how quickly it will sell. It takes about 15 minutes to go over, and it actually guarantees your property will sell. The fact is, it's the only goof proof way to sell a house.

Actually, the worst thing that could happen is that you'd find out the real reason why it didn't sell the first time. So if you do decide to list it again you won't make the same mistake twice.

There's no charge for this service but I would ask that you only call if you are SERIOUS about selling.

Has anyone ever seen this headline? I can't say that I have. I can tell you one thing for sure, I have about five buyers that are sitting on the fence right now waiting for the front page headline's to say "Now is the Time to Buy"

Correct me if I'm wrong but by the time that anouncement hits the papers, it's too late! The ship has sailed because the media is re-active not pro-active. Things have to happen before they can report.

If you are in the market for a home whether buying or selling, we need to talk. There are great opportunities in the real estate market today however it is only for those that are buying and selling for the right reasons.
