strength of the market: supply verses demand. If you want to sell quickly, or you are in a buyer's market, you
may decide to set your price lower than market value. On the other hand, if you're in a seller's market where
multiple offers are common, you may want to set your price higher than market value... (continued)
It is now time to look through the eyes of the buyer, transferring your home of memories into a dream house
for someone else. Decide whether you want to hire an agent to handle the sale, then do whatever necessary
to get your home in it’s best possible condition.
Take the initiative and get a pre-sale inspection, to prevent costly surprises from the buyer's inspector.
Inspections usually cost between $300 to $400. If major damages are discovered, your decision to sell or at
least the price at which you sell may be altered.
Most states now require sellers and their agents to disclose issues that may affect a buyer's decision to
purchase your home. This is a touchy topic, so speak with your agent to make sure you understand what you
need to disclose, what repairs need to be made, or what problems can be back-ended by adjusting your
asking price.
This is not the time to undertake major improvements. It is generally wiser to make only necessary repairs and
cosmetic improvements that will enhance your home's salability.
Your taste may appeal to you, but may turn off the buyer. Decorate the home with neutral tones that will add
charm. Consider replacing out-of-date carpeting, painting odd-colored rooms, and polishing your home's
appearance. You may also want to kennel your pet during this time, and hire extra cleaning help while your
house is on the market, especially if an odor exits throughout the home... (continued)
Selling your home is not on anyone’s top 10 list of fun things to do.
It’s time to sell, so here is a simple game plan of what you can expect during the process. First time sellers,
listen up, because now it’s your time to find the buyer!
First and foremost, figure out if you want to sell your home on your own or with an agent. The vast majority of
people choose to sell their home with an agent, which is statistically wiser. Fewer financial results and smaller
sales are produced from homeowners selling their own homes. How can this be? The simple fact is that the
sale of your home depends upon what a buyer is willing to pay. If you cannot attract the right buyer, or
negotiate the proper deal, then you’re stuck behind the eight ball. And remember - marketing your own home
can be very costly.
With an experienced agent, covering the marketing cost and applying proven plans to sell your home becomes
less stressful. They are experienced with the process, which means fewer mistakes, if any at all. Is the 2.5-3%
savings worth it? We suggest searching and weighing the pros and cons before making this decision,
thinking you will save.
During the decision process, you want to make sure the reasons for selling your home are beneficial. Many
people move to save money, finding out that close to 15% of their home sale goes to moving costs, closing
costs and the agent (or marketing for FSBO). Speaking to an accountant is also beneficial to protect yourself
against any tax consequences.
Once you’ve made the decision, you will then Prepare to Sell, Set a Price, Accept an Offer, Close the Sale,
and then Prepare to Move….(to be continued)

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...

In other words, much like any other professional...
Although...
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.
