The Real esTaTe IndusTRy Is ChangIng There are new ways…

In today’s world, the internet has changed the way that most industries conduct business. It is easier, faster, more convenient and it gives you, the consumer, more control. You can now buy insurance, book your travel arrangements, shop for a new car, and even do day to day shopping from your computer generally faster and more cost effectively.

The internet is also now impacting on the real estate industry.

In the Alberta market, a new concept called 2% Realty has proven to be very successful selling over $298 million dollars worth of real estate in the past 3 years. This concept is now in the Okanagan.

Delivering Better Results “It’s about making knowledge based choices”.

David Lofthaug, 2% Realty

“If the seller is willing to replace the roof, add a deck, put in a fireplace and an indoor pool, extend the living room fifteen feet and move the whole place to the other side of town, then we’re definitely interested!”

An imperative to the process is clear definition of the needs, wants, and priorities of the buyer. The list of elements goes well beyond location and price.

We are, after all, matching a range of life interests in finding the right home.

When you have a well defined wish list, new

neW ResOuRCes aVaIlaBle how they make one of biggest financial “Virtual Tours are the commitments of their lives. generating inter- The 2% Realty Team have these new ways and est with builders taken new resources and applied and developers”. them to their business model. The results have David Harper, 2% Realty been impressive.

David Harper, a ReAlTOR® principal More and more, home buyers are using the internet as a way to take control of with 2% Realty says “The virtual tours their buying and selling needs. People which they provide for residential listings are researching what is available before are generating interest with builders and calling a real estate agent. They are, in developers as well.” This is a new addition fact, becoming more “hands-on” with to the company’s internet presentation.

Commission structures are changing with technology When the average price of a home was approximately $125,000, 25 years ago, the commission fee structure at some brokerages of 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the remaining balance were deemed appropriate.

Why? Because the internet, cell phones, email etc were not as readily available to the average ReAlTOR® or homebuyer making it extremely difficult to conduct the sale compared to what it is today.

In today’s market the average home price is approx. $400,000 (according to Omreb

matrix stats Jan 2013) and some brokerages have not adapted their fee structure to reflect modern times and the technology available.

With the introduction of the internet, over 78% of people shop online for a house. Much fewer people visit a ReAlTOR’s® office and most of the time the only office visit required is to a lawyer’s office, times have changed!

In this industry where virtually everything (including property tours) that serves buyers and sellers, is available on the internet… costs to ReAlTORs® are down!

yOu deseRVe The “BesT Buy” A buyers agent should be charged with sourcing options that most closely meet a complete wish list and perhaps more. This service should be timely and presented with all relevant information.

In the final analysis, it is defined as

professional representation of your interests.

When this representation is delivered with significant savings to both seller and buyer, you have what qualifies as a “Best Buy”.

A window treatment for every room

• Wood worktops blend well in a traditional kitchen. Wood is available in a wide range of species and colours and offers warmth and affordability. Dis­ advantages include poor resistance to stains, burns, and scratches. Wood countertops also require regular care and maintenance.

• Natural stone gives a luxurious rustic look and comes in a wide variety of types and colours. It is renowned for its low maintenance requirements and granite in particular is resistant to heat, stains, and scratches. Some stone surfaces are expensive and require professional installation.

• Tiling combines resistance, ease of maintenance, and low cost. The classic look of tiles has been updated, thanks to larger sizes and new colours and patterns that imitate wood and stone.

Keep in mind that grouting requires meticulous cleaning in order to avoid dirt and mold be­coming embedded.

• Metal, stainless steel, and glass surfaces come in diverse finishes to create a contemporary look. Stainless steel is hygienic and extremely resistant to heat and shocks but does require a lot of maintenance. Glass is easy to keep clean and offers the possibility of infused colours and embedded textures. Not surprisingly, it is less resistant to shocks and scratches.

• Concrete countertops are extremely resistant to heat and shocks and are available in a variety of designs and finishes. Their fabrication and installation must be entrusted to sometimespricey specialists. It is also important that the concrete be treated against stains. Composite materials, such as quartz, continue to be expensive but are esthetic, easy to maintain, and highly resistant to heat, shocks, and stains.

In the living room Your choice of window treatment should always be suited to the type of room it is intended for. In the living room, privacy is usually the most important criterion. Horizontal blinds, Venetian blinds, or shutters provide effective protection from prying eyes, especially at night, and during the day their slats can be adjusted depending on how much light is desired. If the living room windows don’t overlook a high traffic area, long drapes will embellish them while protecting the interior from the sun.

PHOTO: RYAN MCVAY / THINKSTOCK

A large variety of kitchen countertops is available for both traditional and modern kitchens. Here are a few suggestions to guide you in choosing.

For a harmonious décor, choose countertops in a material and colour that blends well with other elements in the kitchen.

In the bedroom Essential criteria for the bedroom are privacy and the control of natural light.

An opaque shade is certainly a good choice, as it meets both these requirements. Shades with original patterns are also opaque and are very popular for children’s bedrooms. Horizontal blinds are an interesting choice, as light levels can be adjusted and they can also be combined with curtains for even more opac-

ity. Curtains are not ideal for controlling light and privacy, but combined with a shade or a blind, their esthetic appeal can still be taken advantage of. It’s also possible to use lined curtains or drapes that are opaque enough to reduce the intensity of natural light.

In the kitchen and bathroom A rigid, low-maintenance horizontal blind is practical for the kitchen. Wood and faux wood are very popular. Horizontal blinds are also a wise choice for the bathroom, although it is important that they be made of water resistant materials that will not lose their shape, especially if the room has poor ventilation or if the blind is near the shower. Faux wood is a good choice.

Shades ensure privacy, while curtains are more decorative.
