Once
you have located
your new home, you can begin the fun part - moving. Whether
you’re moving two
streets away from your
current home, from one side of town to the other, or clear across the
country,
you have two options – either
professional movers or doing it yourself.
There
are pros and cons
of both choices. You must decide how much you can afford to spend, and
what option you feel works
best for you. Let's review the options.
•
Professional movers
costs and experience vary. There are those on the less expensive end of
the
system, consisting of
two to four people with a truck, up to the executive level of packing
and using
a
huge semi-truck to
delivery your belongings. Usually, what you pay for is what you get.
•
Most moving companies
provide sturdy, reinforced boxes. The cost of these boxes is included
in the
amount quoted for the
move.
•
Professional movers
use padded blankets to protect your furniture. These blankets are
secured with
rope or bungee cords so
no damage occurs.
•
If you are doing the
packing, make sure each box is carefully marked for the movers,
indicating
which
boxes contain fragile
items. In most cases, when using professional movers, you don't have to
worry
about the weight of the
boxes. They know how much to pack and have the correct equipment to
handle large boxes.
•
If working with
professional movers, one semi-truck may contain several households so
your
belongings may not be
the first on their route. Talk to the movers and determine when they are
expecting to arrive at
your new home. Keep in mind that traffic, construction, and weather,
can all
create delays. For this
reason, it's important to have phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the
movers along with the
main office just in case your belongings do not arrive on time. In
addition,
make
sure they have a phone
number to reach you. If the schedule denotes a 5 p.m. arrival, have
someone
at the house from 4:00
p.m. until the truck arrives: one hour before.
Self-Moving
industrial strength
boxes in all sizes, costing you nothing. Use old blankets, pillows, or
towels
for
minimal damage. Some
rental companies will rent padded blankets for a very small fee. Just
be sure
that you wrap breakable
items carefully and don't stack boxes of breakables on top of each
other.
•
Mark all boxes
carefully. Separate breakable items. Consider moving those in your car
instead of
loading them into trucks
with your other items.
unwanted items from
being packed and moved
• Carefully mark the
boxes containing towels, toiletries, sheets, etc., so you can unpack
those
first and
at least be able to make
your bed and take a shower.
"Open
me
first." This
might include a coffee pot, eating utensils, or clothing that
you've packed
separately to get you
through the first few days.
it will help them get
used to their new address.
•
If you have
cats, or other animals, make sure you keep them closed off from packing
as well
as the
moving day activity.
Pets can easily get into boxes without anyone knowing, or they can
quickly run
out a door and be lost.
Consider boarding them for a day or two.
condensation could
develop, and shock could occur when you plug them in.
placed on ice in a cooler
and then moved or given away. If you’re moving across the
country where
boxes
will take days to arrive, don't pack any perishable foods at all.
At
any given time, three
general factors affect the sale of your house: the current real estate
market, conditions,
the location of your property, and the competition. These three factors
are
always in flux. Interest rates rise and fall; neighborhoods lose or
gain
cachet; similar houses suddenly arrive on the market; and the pool of
active
buyers changes.
The Competition
When
a number of houses
with similar features are on the market, yours needs to shine. If two
houses
are similar in structure or layout, buyers will choose the one that
feels as if
it could be a home.
Well,
there isn't an
exact formula to arrive at the magic number, only a price range. Why?
Because
houses are a commodity and are subject to laws of supply
and demand, plus
market conditions keep changing. Prices rise when there are more buyers
than
sellers; they decline when more houses exceed buyers. The availability
of mortgage
money also affects sales, but ultimately what the buyers feels about a
house is
what determines the price he'll pay. While the buyer determines the
selling
price, you establish the listing price of your home.
When
you put a house up
for sale, there is a high probability that the asking price will be
lowered.
The key is knowing when to lower the amount. Keep in mind that timing
is
everything. If you have had your house on the market for some time and,
as a
last minute effort, decide to lower the price, it may not bring you the
desired
results.
It
is during the first
two weeks that your home will bring the most traffic. This is when the
home is
fresh on the market and in its peak sale time. If you wait too long to
bring
down the price, the current buyers will have already seen the house and
won't
necessarily show new interest.
That
doesn't mean that
another group of buyers won't come along, but buyers are bunched in
price
ranges. Therefore, in order to grab the attention of the next price
range of
buyers, you would probably have to make a significant reduction.
To
arrive at a realistic
listing price, research the competition. Learn what similar houses have
recently sold for as well as what "comparables" haven't sold. This
will provide a good idea of the price buyers are and are not willing to
pay for
houses similar to yours. Remember, a buyer will be looking at a number
of
houses with similar features and amenities.
Usually
specific
features in your house will determine its price range. For example, a
three-bedroom, one-bath house in a certain neighborhood will sell for
less than
a three-bedroom, two-bath house in the same neighborhood because buyers
are
willing to pay more for a second bathroom.
Pricing
your home can be
very emotional for the entire family. How do you put a dollar amount on
memories? Many sellers are offended if the market value of their house
does not
reflect their emotional attachment. However, you need to consider that
your
memories won’t qualify as a feature to strangers.
Don't
overprice your house - that
usually backfires. As mentioned above, the most
serious pool
of buyers arrive ready to buy within the first two weeks a house is on
the
market. They've done their homework. They won't buy a house that's
overpriced.
If a buyer is interested in your home, they still have to secure a
mortgage. In
order to obtain that mortgage, your home has to come back appraised at
the
asking price. For example, if you were selling your home for $100,000
but the
appraisal came back at $95,000. Mostly likely, the deal would fall
through or
you would have to lower the asking price to match the appraisal.
Finally,
it's your responsibility to price your
house so that it will sell quickly and
profitability

GIVE ME JUST A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME...
AND I'LL SHARE WITH YOU SOME INFORMATION
THAT WILL "BLOW-YOUR-MIND"... GUARANTEED!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Dear Friend,
Welcome...
Please take a minute from your busy schedule and read this short little bio about myself... I promise you will not regret it.
First off, it seems like I was around real estate all of my life. My father got into the business around 1976 when I was 10 years old and then went on to open his own company, Prime Realty Inc., in 1980. That's when I got my first job as a janitor in his office. My mother Zee left her nursing career around that time to join my father. She sold at first and then she managed.
Needless to say, from a very early age, my parents involved me in the discussions about the business around the kitchen table which I remember to this day. It was in those early years that I knew I wanted to be a realtor. In the summer of 1986, after graduating from High School, and before University, I got my real estate license and obtained my Brokers license 2 years later.
I graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1990 with a Bachelors Degree in Social Science (areas of concentration were in Economics and Urban Geography) and went into sales full time in the family business.
You see, very quickly I became one of the top agents not only in our company but city wide as well. This lasted for 3-4 years before I left sales and got into management and sales training (mistake #1).
Amazingly, we built up Prime to over 70 agents over time and all was well. However, the day to day dealings with other agents was getting taxing on me and over time I started to lose interest very quickly.
Moreover, during the same period, I served on the Windsor Essex County Real Estate Board as a Director for 4 years and chaired various committees (to which I still serve to this day).
Anyhow,...
Around the late 1990's, during the Internet boom, I seen an on-line opportunity and wrote a business plan in an attempt to try to launch a new business. I went down to Palo Alto, Silicon Valley just south of San Francisco in search of investors.
Surprisingly enough, I landed an Accounting firm as partners and also secured a law firm to work with. There were patents pending in place and everything looked good. I was working on a prototype with programmers and then the inevitable happened.
In 2000, the bombshell dropped...
You see, the Internet bubble burst and down went all hopes. There was virtually no hope of getting any funding and my patent law firm, one of the biggest in the country at that time went belly-up.
Fact is, I was about 2 years too late. Inevitably, I lost all of my savings and pretty much everything. Unfortunately, around the same time, my father and founder of Prime Realty Inc. passed away. Life sucked!
In a nut shell, I realized that both my dreams and father had just died and over the next 3-4 years we just went by trying to fit things in place. It was obvious to me that managing real estate agents was not my calling and something drastic had to happen. Although my dreams died in California, the lessons and experiences did not.
Very quickly, I realized the tremendous Value of Marketing and The Internet and after writing over 20 business plans, I felt that all was not lost. I approached my family and we struck a mutually beneficial deal with Re/Max Preferred Realty Ltd and sold Prime Realty Inc. in 2004.
My point is, now I could do what I always loved, selling real estate, and was able to apply what I learned over the past 10 years to my trade.
With that said, from 2004 to the present...
I began studying Internet Marketing which led me to design...
>>>>> The "Magnetic Marketing Matrix" <<<<<
...This Unique and Proprietary System generates literally, a "Tidal Wave" of Traffic to my web site which Benefits my Home Sellers s by exposing them to a Stampeed of "Highly Qualified", CASH Home Buyers 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a week Competing for their Home (even while the home sellers sleep).
Yes, its true...
My web site gets more traffic to it than any other real estate agent in Windsor and Essex County
and...
It also generates more traffic than over 81% of all local Real Estate Brokerages Traffic.
====> Go To http://www.alexa.com/ <===
...and compare different web site traffic yourself.
Which may explain why between 2004-2006...
Keep in mind... we sold 170 Homes during that period.
You see, I didn't just wake up and come up with this system. Real Estate Sales have been ingrained in me my whole life and I call my life "an expensive experience", because, in many ways, it seems to me that I have been through a lot and made my fair share of mistakes along the way at a much faster pace than most, actually, at a breakneck speed compared to most.
Now, the only real question to ask yourself is "Can I Benefit From all of This?"
If the answer to that question is ... "YES" and you may want to consider visiting my web site at NOW...

If you lived in the Ozarks, this would be commonplace, BUT anywhere else...Futile!
Frankly, I canNOT use the word "Specialist" in any advertisement as our Governing Body, RECO (The Real Estate Council of Ontario) does not permit anyone to use it (there are no courses or designations to qualify someone to call themselves a specialist).
However,
"IF" I could use that "S" word, my area of "Sp*c*alty" would be in...
Unfortunately, most agents spread themselves too thin trying to be everything to everyone and end up being nothing to no one.
Here's the deal, if you are interested in...
...I Do These 2 Things VERY Well and lets face it - in real estate as in life - not all things are created equal. There's a BIG difference between what real estate agents do and how much they charge. I would appreciate and welcome the opportunity to Compete for your Business.
If, on the other hand, you own any other type of Real Estate or Investment Property, I will gladly steer you in the right direction and refer you to an agent (weather within our office or abroad) that focuses the majority of their time and efforts on areas similar to your specific needs.

We bought a home in Toronto and needed to sell ours fast. Sasha's unique and powerful advertising was one of the main reasons we interviewed him and his Team. My husband and I are both accountants and really appreciated how systemized his approach was in every detail.
When we received the offer on our home, Mike was in Texas and I was in Ohio at the park with our son.

His marketing plan was second to none and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of showings on our home right from the get go. Our home was listed on Monday and we received an offer on Sunday. It ended up selling within 10 days for 98% of asking price. Sasha's Team was fantastic - they handled everything 100%. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
