Sellers | 9 minute read
If you are in the Edmonton market area and are thinking of selling your home in the near future, you are probably faced with the question of who you should list with. Do you list with the one who's got all the for sale signs in the area? Do you choose the one your colleague at work ‘used’? What about the agent that keeps sending you notepads and generic flyers in the mail, promising that they have a buyer for homes just like yours? At the end of the day everyone seems to be promising the same thing but how do you really know?

Sellers | 4 minute read
You have worked so hard to get your home ready, and it’s finally on the market! Some sellers can handle the whole process without feeling too anxious or stressed, but for most, this is an emotional roller coaster. While it is my job to handle everything in the most efficient and effective way for my clients - any time there is even the slightest amount of uncertainty about something - our minds can sometimes get the best of us, isn’t that true?

Buyers | 9 minute read
There is a lot of confusion and uncertainty when it comes to the state of the real estate market and what really to expect in the future. With the rising interest rates and increasing inventory, we are moving from a seller's market to a more of a ‘balanced’ market or even a buyer’s market in some areas.

Buyers | 4 minute read

Will house prices be coming down? What if we buy now and property values plummet, and we're upside down on our mortgage? These are all valid concerns and very good questions, and here are a few thoughts - which I am happy to share; however, as an important disclaimer, please do not take any of this information as financial advice. So ... what ‘should’ you do?

Sellers | 4 minute read
Selling your home is no easy undertaking. It takes a huge amount of time and energy, it disrupts your family's lifestyle and routines, it takes you way outside of your comfort zone, and for it to make sense, there are some very important decisions you have to make. Each decision has the potential to either move you closer to your goals - or further away from them. One of those decisions is, of course, do you sell with an agent, or do you sell it yourself?
