Pick up the phone, or even better go out and take your mother/grandmother out and give them a great big hug. Thank them for putting up with everything.
Happy Mother’s Day
To all the #Mothers, and expecting and existing, thank you, you are appreciated, we love you!
If you are looking to rent out a property you have the ability to use a realtor?
The benefits of using an agent are:
1. Credibility – using an agent when finding a rental (especially off MLS) gives you an air of credibility when dealing with landlords or agents representing them. People automatically assume (if they’re using an agent, they must be serious about renting a place)
2. Protection – Having an agent on your side that is looking out for YOUR best interest is always beneficial. If you think the agent representing the landlord is looking out for YOU, it’s not always true.
3. Cost Effective – although the agent is protecting you, they are paid by the landlord, it costs tenants nothing.
4. Guidance – An agent will know exactly what you need, and how to do it. (If they don’t, get a new agent) Do you know the ins and outs of renting? How to put an offer in on a lease? what rights you have as a tenant?
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
I don’t normally do this but I have a unit for lease and I figured I ask,
does anyone know anyone who wants a place to rent? Probably May 1st. Liberty Village.

A no obligation conversation, and coffee is on me!
To all of those people in the position of buying property (Not having to sell a property first), the question I have is are you looking?! If not, why not!? What are you waiting for?
Right now is a GREAT time to buy property, whether it’s for investment or moving out. I don’t see a sudden drop in prices, as everyone predicts, I see (and many people agree) a deflation in price if anything. If you wanted to buy something before, why not go out contact an agent and start looking?! If you find something you like, try, if not well you haven’t lost anything and at the very least you know what you are looking for!
Based on the poll I posted last week, everyone is scared that the market will crash. 100% of people voted that this is why they haven’t bought.
Now this can be debated left right and centre but the biggest point that I would like to point out is that EVEN if the market crashes (which i don’t believe it will) it ONLY affects people if they SELL.
One of the greatest investors of all time (Warren Buffet) doesn’t believe in timing the market. He is worth A LOT. He knows what he’s talking about.
Lets say you bought today, sign, sealed and delivered…congrats! You are in your new home for the next 5 years!Then all of a sudden, the market crashes tomorrow and prices drop! Oh no! well guess what, it doesn’t change anything for YOU because as long as you don’t sell tomorrow (which you won’t because you are in your new home for the next 5 years) the drop in price doesn’t affect you.
Now you might say, well then maybe I should wait for the crash, and buy then, right? Well, do you know EXACTLY when that’s going to happen? no? well neither do I, and I would bet neither does anyone else. What you would be doing then would be TIMING the market. And I don’t know about you, but I like to listen to old Warren.
What are you doing on the computer?! I’m sure the Ten Commandments is playing somewhere on TV!
