1. How long have you been a realtor? A new realtor can do a wonderful job and will have up- to-date training. Those in the business longer bring practical experience to the table. 2. What is your average list-to-sales ratio? A good realtor should hold a track record for how many properties they have listed compared to how many they have sold within a given time period. In a good market, there would be about six sales for every 10 listings. In a poor market, there would be about four sales for every 10 listings. 3. How will your marketing plan meet my needs? Specifically, how will you sell my home? Where and how often will you advertise? Do you have sample flyer, advertisements, and web copy? 4. Will you provide references? Ask if you can talk to past clients. Then follow up and talk to them. 5. What separates you from your competition? Key phrases to listen for: assertive, available by phone or e-mail, analytical, able to maintain a good sense of humour under trying circumstances.
N
EW
RE
9. What kind of guarantee do you offer? If you sign a listing agreement with the realtor and later find that you are unhappy with the arrangement, will the realtor let you cancel the agreement? 10. What haven’t I asked you that I need to know? Pay close attention to how the realtor answers this question, because there is always something you need to know.

The costs of buying a home
T
he purchase price of your new home is the biggest cost you will come across in your home-buying venture, but it is not the only one. A realtor can provide you with helpful advice about other costs involved, such as: Application/Mortgage Broker Fee: Processing your mortgage application costs lenders money. Consumers may be charged a fee by a lender or a mortgage broker for setting up a mortgage when income or credit issues become more sensitive to the approval process.
Appraisal Fee: The money you borrow for your mortgage is usually a percentage of the home’s purchase price, or of the market appraisal — whichever is lower. The lender will use someone on staff or an independent professional to make this appraisal. Land Survey Fee: A plot plan or survey of the property you want to buy is important to establish exactly where the boundaries are and make sure there are no encroachments such as part of your neighbour’s house or garage sitting on your land. Your lending institution will want to see such a survey and can let you know what their requirements are. Insurance: If you are applying for a high-ratio mortgage — that is, if you are borrowing more than 80 per cent of your home’s purchase price — you will have to pay for mortgage insurance to protect the lender
in the event that you fail to make the necessary payments. As your new home will be used as security for your mortgage, the lender will want you to have extended coverage and fire insurance. You may also wish to check out the cost of buying mortgage life insurance. Legal Fees: These are the fees charged by a lawyer to help you complete the home-buying process. Property Transfer Tax: This is calculated on the property’s purchase price at the rate of one per cent up to $200,000 and two per cent of the price over $200,000. First-time buyers may be exempt from this tax subject to certain restrictions. HST: When you buy a new home, the entire purchase price is taxable. You may, however, qualify for a partial provincial New Housing Rebate if you plan to live in the home yourself. Ask your realtor for details. A “used” residential home is normally exempt from the HST. Other Costs: When you buy a home you will also want to budget for utility bills, annual property taxes and maintenance costs..

Ensure wide sales exposure by using the MLS needs. Using the MLS, a realtor can search the database for homes that suit budgets, location preferences and family requirements, and quickly put together a short list of suitable homes. This way a buyer can decide what home they want to see, what their options are and what types of properties the market has to offer. For sellers, the MLS, matches your property with as many qualified, motivated buyers as possible. The MLS exposes your property to people most likely to purchase it and makes sure you won’t waste your time showing your home to those who are not truly interested. When you make the decision to sell ensure you ask your realtor about an MLS listing. The MLS will ensure wide exposure of your home to a broad range of interested people.
What is MLS®? he Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a co-operative marketing system that maximizes exposure of properties for sale. It is a central registry of properties used by realtors to match buyers with properties for sale. Most homes sold in Canada are sold via the MLS systems operated by real estate boards across the country. The MLS system includes a sophisticated computer database of properties indexed by price, location, type of home, number of bedrooms, amenities and so forth. The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) MLS maintains information on between 4,800-7,000 active listings of property for sale on the Island, and typically receives 77 new listings every day. Listings range from undeveloped lots to business opportunities or special properties. Listings are updated throughout the day.
T
Why does it work? The strength of the MLS system rests in the quality and accuracy of the information. Government, economists, financial institutions, appraisers and others all rely on MLS data. This is because realtors who submit the listing information, and MLS staff at real estate boards who conduct quality control, are trained and educated in the complexities of real estate. Realtors know how to describe a property accurately and what information must be disclosed in an MLS listing. For instance, if there is a restriction on the use of a property, something called an

easement, this information must appear in the MLS listing. Also, the MLS connects buyers and sellers. If the MLS system did not exist, sellers would have to choose an individual real estate brokerage to list their home and only that brokerage would have the information about it and the ability to show and sell it. If the MLS system did not exist, buyers would have to go from real-
tor to realtor to view the listings of each individual brokerage. Many alternate systems and services exist to buy and sell homes and they all compete for customers. The MLS is the realtor option. How does MLS benefit consumers? A large part of the realtors’ job lies in finding properties that meet a buyer’s
What about REALTOR.ca? The public website www.realtor.ca is not the MLS system. Local MLS systems are owned and operated by local real estate boards, for use by realtors. Realtor.ca is an advertising vehicle that gives consumers direct access to information about MLS listings. The website is provided by realtors across Canada to help market properties on behalf of their clients. The home listing information on www.realtor.ca streams from the MLS but does not contain the full collection of information on the system. This article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board- “An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.

1. You can appeal property taxes: No. You can appeal your assessment, not your taxes. You annually receive your assessment the first week of January and must appeal by January 31. 2. An appeal will change the market value: The market value may not correlate to the assessed value. BC Assessment typically assesses properties as of the previous July 1. A REALTOR® valuing a home now – 11 months later – may find the market has changed, the home has had an addition or the street has been rezoned, all of which affect value. 3. If you just bought a home, the previ-
ous owners are liable for taxes: No. When you buy a property you become liable for all outstanding taxes. 4. New home owners can claim the Home Owner Grant: No. New home owners cannot claim the Home Owner Grant if the seller paid the taxes or if the new home owner claimed a grant on another property. 5. If you’ve been eligible for the Home Owner Grant and didn’t claim it, you can make a back claim: No, you cannot make a back claim on the Home Owner Grant. The Grant must be used the year it is offered.

The Parksville Qualicum Beach News October 26, 2012
Buying a home Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions many people will ever make in their lives. In addition to using the services of a REALTOR®, there are a few questions you can ask yourself to help guide you through the process. Is Home Ownership Right for You? One of the biggest reasons people want to buy is to build equity in their own home, rather than continue to pay rent. However, being a homeowner and being a renter are two very different things. Are you ready to take on the responsibility of all the costs involved in homeownership, including mortgage payments, repairs, and maintenance? Do you have a down payment, or the ability to get one? Can you afford to buy? Media reports on the cost of housing sometimes make it seem like home ownership is impossible for many people. What these reports never mention is there is a wide variety and range of homes on the market. A REALTOR® can help you find a home that fits your needs and budget. And with today’s low interest rates all it takes is some careful planning to make homeownership affordable and possible. What do you want to buy? When buying a home, you want to make sure it meets your actually needs. Size, location, and lifestyle are the most important things to consider. Then there are special features (like storage space or energy savings) and whether or not to buy new or used. Share this information with your REALTOR®. See the Dream Home Checklist for more information. Should I Use a REALTOR®? A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate professional with the resources and experience to help you buy your home. There are many ways to find a REALTOR®: drive through neighbourhoods that interest you and jot down names, go to open houses, look at advertising, ask friends and family if they have worked with a REALTOR® they like. Interview two or three and pick the one you like best. Click here to find a REALTOR® or to learn more about Why Should I Use a REALTOR®?
www.pqbnews.com

What does a realtor® do? When you and your REALTOR® agree to work together, your REALTOR® is making a legal and professional commitment to you. Remember, not every real estate agent can call themselves a REALTOR®. REALTOR® is a trademarked term belonging to the Canadian Real Estate Association. It represents a high standard of professionalism and commitment to value for clients. Legally, a REALTOR® is obligated to protect and promote the interest of their clients, as they would their own. REALTORS® have the following duties: • Provide undivided loyalty to their cli-
ent. • Obey all lawful instructions of their client. • Keep the confidences of their client. • Exercise reasonable care and skill in performing all assigned duties. • Account for all money and property while acting for their client. Professionally, a REALTOR® adheres to a strict set of standards called the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. Any violations to our Code, Standards, Rules, or legislation are brought forward for investigation and disciplinary action at both the Board level and at the provincial level, through the Real Estate Council of BC. You and your REALTOR® will work together to build a relationship. Your REALTOR® will listen to your needs and expectations, and clearly tell you what services they provide. This includes an explanation of agency, the most important aspect of the client- REALTOR® relationship. All of this will be put in writing.
A few reason why you should use a Realtor® REALTORS® are trained professionals who bring a wealth of experience and resources to their clients, whether that client is looking to buy their first home or is a seasoned seller. Expert knowledge of the communities in which they work, the ability to accurately price and market properties, and experience in negotiating buying and selling prices are just a few of the things you can expect from a licensed REALTOR®. Consider some of the advantages of using a REALTOR® when buying or selling:
When Buying A REALTOR® has the knowledge, experience and resources to find properties in your price range and homes that match your individual needs. You can get information on schools, transportation and other services in different neighbourhoods, and access the MLS® service, which provides up-to- date details on a wide variety of properties in the markets you are exploring. A REALTOR® can help you understand property financing, taxes, insurance and the steps you’ll have to take to complete a real estate transaction. You can save substantial time by allowing the REALTOR® to “preview” properties that fit your budget and expectations. This way, you may only have to visit a handful of homes to make a wise and informed selection. A REALTOR® will explain the various financing alternatives available and provide up-to-date information on interest rates and mortgage options. They will act as a mediator to off-set potential conflicts between you and a seller. A REALTOR® will draw up an offer to purchase and assist with all details required to make a successful transaction, including when to bring in other professionals (lawyer, lender, home inspector, insurance broker and others).
When Selling A REALTOR® is an expert in effective advertising and will cover all the costs as part of their service to you Your home will receive far-reaching market exposure through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) You can depend on their support every step of the way. A REALTOR® will provide you with a full explanation of the selling process and what to expect from the beginning. A selling price will be established in consultation with you that will appeal to buyers interested in your type of home and neighbourhood. A REALTOR® will assess your home and provide you with tips on how to highlight its best features and make it more appealing. A marketing plan for your home will be developed to help it sell quickly at or near the asking price. In addition to MLS® listing and advertising in the newspapers and other media, most plans will include a number of open houses. A REALTOR® will save you time by separating the lookers from the buyers and ensuring that only serious buyers visit your home. When an offer is received, a REALTOR® will use their knowledge and experience to negotiate an agreement on your behalf and according to your instructions. If you accept an offer, the REALTOR® will participate in drawing up a legally binding contract that protects your interests, ensures any conditions to a binding agreement are fulfilled, and that all your questions and concerns are dealt with to your complete satisfaction.

The Parksville Qualicum Beach News October 26, 2012
Financing a home When you’re looking to buy a home, it’s important to understand the steps for getting a mortgage. Mortgage terminology: Before approaching lenders, you should get to know some basic mortgage concepts. You can start by visiting the Glossary section and read up on mortgage-related terms. Get pre-approved: Pre-approval of a mortgage is when your lender has reviewed all your financial information and has determined the maximum amount of money you can borrow. The advantages include that you: • know how much you can borrow, so you don’t waste time looking at properties you can’t afford • don’t have to worry about rising interest rates while shopping for a home, as usually the mortgage broker will guarantee the current interest rate for 60 to 90 days • have an edge when you make an offer, because the seller knows you’re more likely to get a loan • save time when you apply for your loan because you’ve already assembled your paperwork Where to get pre-approved: Many banks and financial institutions are competing for your business so it makes sense to shop around for a mortgage. Most lenders will reduce their posted interest rate so don’t be shy about bargaining. Your ability to bargain for a low rate and a flexible mortgage will often depend on how much business you have with the institution. You can contact banks and credit unions directly, or work with a mortgage broker. A broker will help you find a lender and the best mortgage package.
Once you have selected your lender, you will need to provide your financial information. Your lender will want the following: • Personal information such as number of dependents and marital status • Details of employment, including a letter from your employer verifying your salary • Banking and investment information • Details of your assets (i.e.- a car, other property) • Information on loans and other liabilities • Permission to do a credit check After your application is complete, you will know how much you can borrow and you will be ready to start searching for a home. Mortgage payment tips: Whether you’re a first-time buyer or you’ve decided to refinance your home, consider the following money-saving steps when calculating your mortgage payments: • By shortening your loan repayment or amortization period to 20 years from 25 years, you’ll pay your mortgage off five years sooner. You’ll pay higher monthly payments, but you’ll build equity faster and you’ll pay less in interest over the long term. • Apply for a prepayment option. If you receive one, you can directly pay down some of your principal before it’s due. Make sure to check for prepayment penalties. • By paying biweekly instead of monthly, you’ll make 26 payments in a year or 13 months instead of just 12 months and reduce your amortization to about 20 years from 25 years.
Selling your home Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you sell your home. 1. Decide when to sell: In real estate, timing can influence your home’s selling price. 2. Find a REALTOR® who is right for you: The REALTOR® who helped you buy your home is a good place to start. They already know your home and they know you, so you’ll be saving time right from the start. 3. Sign a Listing Agreement: This authorizes your REALTOR® and their brokerage to market and sell your home. 4. Determine your home’s asking price: The right asking price will attract buyers and pay you a maximum return. Setting too low a price means you could miss out on thousands of dollars. Setting too high a price will scare away buyers. Your goal is to find fair market value. 5. Add some specialists to your team: Similar to when you bought your home, it’s essential to have a notary public or a lawyer handle all the various documents that change hands and make sure your best interests are being protected at all times. 6. Prepare your home for sale: First impressions matter. Now is the time to see your home through a buyer’s eyes: Remember, weigh the cost of all your
improvements versus the potential financial return. 7. Let your REALTOR® do what they do best: Your home has never looked so good and now it’s time for your REALTOR® to market it to potential buyers. 8. Prepare your finances: Will the buyer “assume” your mortgage or are you “discharging” it? If you’re buying a new home, is your mortgage “portable”? 9. Receive an offer: Although your REALTOR® will walk you through the process, be prepared for some stress. You will see every offer since it’s required that your REALTOR® show you every offer that’s submitted. You will have three options: you can accept, you can reject or you can “sign back” or “counter”. Ask your REALTOR® what these terms mean. Happy negotiating! 10. Close the deal: You were successful and have drafted a legally binding agreement. Are you done? Not quite yet. Contact your lawyer or notary public, contact your lending institution and consult your REALTOR®. Immediately start satisfying any conditions of the agreement that require action on your part. On closing day, your lawyer or notary public will finalize all the details and give you a cheque for the net proceeds.
