How to Improve

NOBODY IN THE WORLD SELLS MORE REAL ESTATE THAN RE/MAX®

your landscape before selling

Selling a house is seldom easy, and homeowners are often willing to do whatever it takes to make their home more attractive to prospective buyers. One of the areas sellers typically focus on is the home’s landscaping. A well-maintained lawn and garden increases a property’s curb appeal considerably, increasing the chances a buyer will have a strong ﬁrst impression of the home.

* Clean bird baths and other water features. Water features create a peaceful atmosphere around a property if they’re well maintained. If not, buyers won’t see the yard as a sanctuary but rather a place where mosquitoes congregate and odors emanate from algae-ﬁlled water. Remove any debris from water features, including leaves and algae, and clean the ﬁlters so water is always clear.

But homeowners don’t need to have a green thumb to ensure their lawn improves curb appeal. The following are a few tricks of the trade savvy sellers can employ to make their home an instant hit when buyers pull up to the curb.

* Invest in a power washer. Buying a power washer might be a tad over the top, but homeowners whose yards are ﬁlled with grimy surfaces might ﬁnd a power washer can work wonders at restoring a home’s external appeal. If plants are in pots that are covered in years-old dirt and grime, a power washer can restore the pot’s luster in a matter of minutes. Spray down walkways and even home siding that has fallen victim to dirt and grime over the years.

* Color the landscape. The plants outside a home shouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb, but a few splashes of color can make a home more appealing. For the cost of some annuals, which are typically inexpensive, homeowners can turn a drab ﬂower bed into a colorful spot bound to catch a buyer’s eye. * Lay down new layers of mulch. Mulch is not only good for plants, helping them to retain moisture while inhibiting weed germination and growth, but a fresh layer of mulch also adds to a yard’s aesthetic appeal. Mulch made of wood or bark chips is also slow to decay, so apply a new batch right before the “For Sale” sign is erected and you might not have to apply another batch before selling the home. * Prune trees and shrubs. Pruning trees and shrubs is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve a landscape. Dead branches in shrubs and trees might suggest to buyers that the homeowners weren’t terribly preoccupied with maintenance, and this might cause them to think twice about making an offer. Stay on top of pruning regardless of what season it is, and be sure to remove any fallen branches from the yard on a regular basis.

* If planting trees, don’t go too big. Especially large trees are not always attractive to prospective buyers, who likely won’t want sight lines obstructed or won’t want to worry about a tree falling and destroying their home during a storm. * Address issues with weeds. A prevalent problem with weeds around the property is another situation that some buyers might feel is indicative of neglect. Weeds are a pretty simple problem to remedy, so buyers might be correct to assume weeds around the property are there because the homeowner was not concerned with maintenance. Lay mulch around ﬂower beds and gardens to reduce weed growth, and pull any weeds from sidewalks and the driveway. Once weeds are pulled, spray areas that were infested with a weedtreatment product to ensure weeds don’t grow back. A well-maintained landscape is a great way for men and women hoping to sell their homes to make a strong ﬁrst impression.

Choosing Whether you are purchasing a first home or your next home, choosing the right mortgage is an important undertaking. Navigating the often complex waters of home financing without the right guidance costs you time, energy, and takes away from a positive home buying experience. Many people spend their time and energy shopping for the “best deal” that 0.1% of a difference in interest might save a few dollars off the monthly payment, but that “best deal” will often cost you elsewhere. It’s more important that you shop for the best expert to guide you. You should find a mortgage specialist you know you can trust by choosing one that works for a quality institution with a recognizable name. The home financing process can also be

the Right Mortgage

overwhelming, confusing, and time consuming as you realize the many mortgage options available. Your mortgage specialist should go through these options in easy to understand terms. They should not use jargon you don’t understand and be willing to take the time to break down those terms and relate the options to your exclusive situation. The right home financing solution depends entirely on your particular situation and needs. A good mortgage specialist will ask a lot of questions and properly access your unique financial situation, needs, and goals to provide home financing solutions that fit you. Having the right advice ultimately alleviates your stress, letting you focus on finding the perfect

home. It will make the difference between a positive home ﬁnancing experience and one that will leave you feeling disappointed. Always remember your mortgage specialist is working for you and should be available when and where you need; they should have a sense of urgency and respond to your calls or emails promptly and effectively whenever you need them. For all you’re home ﬁnancing questions and needs please do not hesitate to contact me, Francine Gomes, West Kootenay BMO Mobile Mortgage Specialist at 1-877-680-9225.

BY SHOPPING WITH A MORTGAGE BROKER

Top Reasons for Using a Broker: 1. Choice - access to multiple ﬁnancial institutions, credit unions and trust companies. 2. Costs - using a broker is free and they can negotiate lower rates for you 3. Knowledge - brokers stay up-to-date on available products and services 4. Flexibility - mortgage products are even available for the self-employed or those who have had credit blemishes 5. Hours of Operation - weekdays, evenings or weekends. Assisting you with a mortgage should be convenient for you not between 9-5

While most people spend a lot of time and effort in shopping for an initial mortgage, the same is generally not the case when looking at mortgage term renewals. Taking proper consideration at the time of renewal can save you thousands of extra dollars every year.

PRE-APPROVALS

It is important to never accept the ﬁrst rate offer that your existing lender sends to you in the mail; around renewal time. Without any negotiation, simply signing up for the market rate on a renewal will unnecessarily cost you a lot of extra money on your mortgage. Just because a lender had the best available product or rate for you when you obtained a mortgage one, three or ﬁve years ago, does not mean the same holds true in today’s market.

A mortgage broker can also preapprove your ﬁnancing and lock-in an interest rate for you anywhere from 60-120 days while you shop for your perfect home. By locking in an interest rate, you are guaranteed to get a mortgage for at least that rate or better. If interest rates drop, your locked-in rate will drop as well, however, if interest rates go up, your locked in interest rate will not, ensuring you get the best rate throughout the mortgage

Refinance your mortgage and free up some money to pay off that highinterest credit card debt, do some home renovations, purchase a vacation home, make investments, invest in your children’s education or go on a holiday. By talking to a mortgage professional, you may find that taking equity out of your home can put more money in your bank account each month. Since interest rates are at a 40 year low, switching to a lower rate may save you a lot of money - possibly thousands of dollars per year. There are penalties for paying your mortgage loan out prior to renewal, but these could be offset by the extra money you could acquire through a refinance.

I work for you, not the banks and my services are free!

REFINANCING

Often times, your existing lender will send a highball renewal rate to their existing clients in the hopes that you’ll simply sign the renewal form and send it back! Your best bet is to get your best possible mortgage product and rate that suits both your current and future mortgage needs. so before you sign your renewal, why not check with a mortgage broker to see if you can save thousands!!

pre-approval process. Getting preapproved for a mortgage is something every potential home buyer should do before going shopping for a new home. A pre-approval will give you the conﬁdence of knowing that ﬁnancing is available, and it can put you in a very positive negotiation position against other buyers who aren’t pre-approved.

With products and rates changing on an ongoing basis, you can’t possibly know what the best offering is for your unique situation without someone investigating on your behalf. A mortgage broker’s job is to look at every rate and product change from each lender - inside banks, trust companies and credit unions. A mortgage broker has the inside scoop on specials available through dozens of lenders.
