condo? can do!

Born and raised in Calgary, Wes moved to the Island in 1989 where he attended high school at KSS and graduated in 1991. Wes became a journeyman welder/fabricator which took him to several different places for over 15 years before health issues forced him to look to another line of work.

Wes is a father of 2 amazing daughters 9 and 6 who mean the world to him and he says “ they Wes Bennett have brought out the best in me and have given me the drive to pursue my dreams” and that of course is to become a realtor.

Wes moved back to the Island last year and is happy to be back with a renewed appreciation of the outdoors and being back near family and friends. Wes is pleased to be joining “The McPherson Group” as their newest team member.

TIPS

1570 ARBUTUS DRIVE, NANOOSE BAY

$525,000

T

here are some really great deals on homes in the market right now. And while you may be smitten with the idea of finding your new dream home, you still have to sell the one you have.

Not only do you have to sell it, but you want to make sure you get the best value you can for it. Here’s a few tips to help you maximize your profit potential: •

Paint the exterior - A fresh coat of paint can give even a relatively new home a much needed face-lift, and can often be done for as low as a few thousand dollars. Select a neutral tone that is consistent with other homes in the neighbourhood.

•

Complete all needed repairs - To maximize a home’s worth, it should be in good condition both inside and out. Don’t wait until there is an offer on the home. Hire an inspector now, and fix any and all problems, such as roof deficiencies, leaky plumbing and electrical problems.

•

Furnish the home to sell - Appeal to the buyer’s emotion.

Furnishing a home can go a long way to getting your home sold, actually increasing the odds of it selling.

•

Upgrade front yard landscaping - Curb appeal plays a big role more so than people realize. Potential buyers driving the neighbourhood may never stop to take a look at your home that’s for sale if it doesn’t look appealing from the outside.

•

Create a quick kitchen makeover - Kitchens are one of the number one rooms in the home where you’ll get the most bang for your remodelling buck. Countertops and appliances are the quickest fix, as are faucets, fixtures, door knobs and other easily changed items that can have a large impact on the space.

•

•

•

• Private 2800sq.ft Madrona area home • Large family kitchen with woodstove • 6 bedrooms on two floors • Two heat pumps, one for each floor • Beautiful established gardens

259 SUTHERLAND CRESCENT • ½ Acre on Parksville Beach • Character home with cottage • Private waterfront playground • Zoned tourist commercial (C-3) • Mature landscaping

Think spa, not bathroom - The master bath is an important factor in a home’s worth. Think spa, or private sanctuary, where the master bath is concerned - a space meant to be relaxing, rejuvenating and more.

Replace carpet rather than just cleaning - Rather than simply steam cleaning old, used carpet, replace it with fresh, neutral-toned carpet with an upgraded pad for an extraluxurious feel. Spending the extra money on new carpet will make your home stand out - in sight, feel and even smell.

Don’t overlook your closets - The better organized a closet, the larger it appears and the better it reflects on a home overall. Now is the time to box up those unwanted clothes and shoes and donate them to charity. Then, invest in a closet organization system - either by a professional or self-installed - which will positively impact your appraisal.

Choosing The REALTOR® Who’s Right For You. If you’re selling or buying a home, you know it’s a process that can’t be rushed. You need time to make the right choices and decisions. After all, selling or buying a home is one of the largest and most important business transactions in which you’re likely to be involved.

As a result, you’ll need to work with someone who understands your needs and wants -- someone you trust and with whom you feel comfortable. That’s why it’s important to work with a REALTOR® and to know how to go about choosing the one who’s right for you.

By definition, a REALTOR®’s primary role is to bring buyers and sellers together to facilitate a sale. A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate professional who is a member of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board and therefore has access to the Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS®) run by the Board.

Both terms, REALTOR® and MLS® are trademarks owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Members of the local Board are also members of CREA and therefore are permitted to use these trademarks.

When you work with a REALTOR® you can expect strict adherence to provincial law, as well as to a national Code of Ethics -- ensuring you’ll receive the highest level of service and integrity.

‘Open Houses’ are also a good way to meet REALTORS, especially if you’re interested in purchasing a home.

You can also refer to real estate signs in your chosen area. If no name appears, call the phone number on the sign and ask to be referred to a REALTOR® in that firm.

Some people mistakenly contact the real estate board for referral to a REALTOR®. A real estate board does not provide a referral service for REALTORS. The Board was created to provide services to its members. Still, the Board will confirm whether a real estate practitioner is a member, and therefore a REALTOR®.

THE INTERVIEW When choosing a real estate professional, it’s a good idea to talk to two or three sales representatives from different companies to determine what types of information and experience they and their companies have to offer. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you’re selling your home, ask those you interview about the type of marketing plan they have in mind for your home.

Obviously, you’ll want to learn of their reputation and reliability.

You may also want to consider asking for references from buyers or sellers with whom the REALTOR® has worked.

Real estate professionals know their markets inside-out because they inspect open houses and research all listings. As a result, they have expertise in assessing what comparable homes are selling for within any given neighbourhood.

Further, since you’ll be working closely with a REALTOR® for weeks or possibly months, it’s a good idea to choose someone who listens to what you say, asks intelligent questions and shows a genuine interest in helping you.

HOW DO I FIND A REALTOR®?

PREPARATORY WORK

There are many ways to go about finding the REALTOR® who’s right for you. First, try consulting friends, relatives and neighbours to see if they can recommend someone. You may also want to try searching through local newspaper real estate advertisements.

Keep in mind that REALTORS cannot work independently of your input. You must be willing to do some preparatory work yourself and be prepared to dedicate a certain amount of time to working with the REALTOR® you have chosen.

The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) represents over 900 REALTORS and administers the Multiple Listing Service® system north of the Malahat to the northern-most reaches of the Island. This article was provided on behalf of VIREB REALTORS for the information and benefit of consumers. For more information, visit the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s website online at www.vireb.com or call 250-390-4212.

So, before you enlist the help of a REALTOR®, you should have a clear set of objectives in mind. Be honest and open in discussing your financial situation and, if you’re buying, carefully review the features you absolutely must have in a home, versus those features you’d merely like to have.

LOYALTY IS A MUST It’s also important to remain loyal to the REALTOR® you’ve chosen if he or she has earned your trust. This person will be spending a lot of time and effort on your behalf, but won’t be paid until the transaction is completed.

If you’re a buyer, getting involved with several REALTORS can create unnecessary and confusing duplication of effort. In fact, buyers who deal with several REALTORS may miss out on the high level of interest and comprehensive service one is entitled to expect by working closely with a single, competent REALTOR®.

COOPERATION REALLY WORKS Remember, although you’ll be working with one REALTOR®, members of the Board cooperate extensively with each other to facilitate showings and sales for the benefit of other clients and customers.

So, if you see a ‘For Sale’ sign on a house in which you’re interested, simply ask the REALTOR® you’re working with to arrange an appointment to view the home. This service is, in fact, what the Multiple Listing Service® system is all about -REALTORS cooperating with REALTORS to bring buyers and sellers together to achieve their mutual goals.

MOVING CHECKLIST Get Organized with this Handy Moving Checklist!

Organization is the key to a successful move! Use this helpful checklist to get things done at the right time. Start early and refer to this list often!

Ian Lindsay

6 - 8 Weeks Before Move

731 PRIMROSE ST., QUALICUM BEACH

■

If you’re using a moving company, check to make sure your move is scheduled.

■

Make a list of items you want to take with you and what you want to toss. Consider donating unwanted items to charity or hold a garage sales.

■

If you’re doing your own packing, gather supplies you need (boxes, tape, markers).

■

Develop a floor plan of your new home’s layout, noting where each item will go. This will help reduce the stress of making decisions later.

■

Get to know your new community. The local Chamber of Commerce can provide information on schools, community programs, parks & recreation facilities.

■

Finalize all real estate or rental needs.

■

Contact your insurance agent to transfer medical, property, fire & auto insurance.

■

Put all medical / dental records in a safe and accessible place. Be sure to include prescription and vaccination records.

■

Notify schools in the old and new locations and arrange to transfer school records.

Start the process of registering in new schools.

■

Notify family, friends, banks, insurance & credit card companies, doctors, dentists, clubs, associations and magazine / newspaper subscriptions about your move.

■

Contact utility providers (telephone, gas, electric, TV and trash collection) at new and old locations to make arrangements for connections and disconnections.

■

Complete banking arrangements in old & new locations and transfer funds to your new bank.

■

Check requirements for new driver’s licence and auto registration in your destination province.

Make transportation arrangements for pets. Take them to your veterinarian for a complete check-up. Ask for a certificate stating their clean bill of health.

■

Gather all important documents, such as wills, stock certificates, and other unique items (jewelry, coin collection, photos). Place them in one easily identifiable and easy to locate folder or box, so you can take them with you on moving day.

Moving Day! ■

Hand over keys, alarm codes, and garage door remote controls to the new owner or realtor.

■

Clean your house as much as you can before your moving crew arrives. Search every room and closet before the movers arrive to be sure you haven’t forgotten anything.

■

Keep your floor plan on hand as a reference, for both you and the movers.

■

Find a safe, quiet place for pets so they aren’t in the way of the moving crew.

■

Verify that all utilities have been disconnected in your old home and connected in your new home. Have your phone connected a day before move-in day.
