3 Tips To Help With Closing The Sale Smoothly

Reduce The Stress On Moving Day With These 3 Tips

A breakfast seminar yesterday with lawyer Jason Cowan ended with these 3 easy ways of helping a sale close more easily.

1. Issues can occur in arranging access to the property for the final inspection prior to closing. So make arrangements for the time and day of the final inspection/walk through to occur as early as possible.
2. Closings that are arranged to happen on the same day usually create additional stress especially if a long “chain” is involved. If possible arrange bridge financing so that the purchase and sale do not happen on the same day. This will avoid delays when the old home is sold and the new home can be moved into.
3. Home Buyers that use non branch banks such as ING Direct or Presidents Choice Financial, usually have more difficulty arranging for bank drafts. Ideally these buyers should transfer funds well in advance of closing to a branch bank( RBC, BMO etc) so that bank drafts can be issued at a days notice when the final statement of account is known.

The bacon and eggs were extremely good as well

Will Outdoor Upgrades Incease The Value Of Your Home?

Everyone’s Working In Their Yards

Finally the sun is shining and it’s time to enjoy the outside.

“Curb Appeal” is an oft used term.

There is no doubt that first impressions count and buyers can have a feel good feeling as they enter your home after see a nice, clean, tidy front yard. This can equally work in reverse for any listings not well maintained.

The outside may help to sell you home but do outdoor upgrades reflect a monetary increase??

Century 21 have published this easily to follow diagram and the answer is YES!
