Choosing a Professional Landscaper The desire to have a pristine, wellmanicured landscape leads many homeowners to toil outdoors for hours every weekend. Hiring a professional landscaper can free up time and help ensure their yards are cared for properly.

Landscapers typically have commercial-grade equipment that can dramatically reduce the time it takes to mow and perform other maintenance tasks around your property. Furthermore, some services have multiple employees working concurrently, enabling them to tackle several projects at the same time and complete them in a fraction of the time it would take a homeowner working on his or her own.

Landscapers familiar with botany and landscape design understand how to properly care for plants and trees on your property, when to prune trees and shrubs, at what height to cut the lawn and which plants will thrive in particular

locations.

Hiring a professional landscaper is, in many instances, more economical.

For a certain weekly or monthly fee, homeowners receive the benefit of professional knowledge and execution.

Also, homeowners will not have the expense of purchasing the various tools and equipment necessary for lawn and garden maintenance.

Hiring a local landscaping service will not only benefit homeowners, but also it will benefit the local economy. Residents can feel comfortable knowing their lawn service will be available for calls when needed and will be familiar with the community. Also, local contractors may go the extra mile to earn your business recommendation.

Although you can change plants in your garden, investing in a garden that you will be happy with for a long time is a costly venture. You may want to consult a landscape architect or local nursery to find the plants and trees that fit with your design and lifestyle. These experts can

also instruct you in how to maintain all of your hard work and when to expect the full impact of your new landscape to take form.

Homeowners can browse ideas for gardens in magazines and online, but ultimately it will be up to their personal design preferences and the climate where their home is located to determine which garden will look and grow best.

One of the benefits of hiring a landscaper is the time savings.

Landscapers typically have commercialgrade equipment that can dramatically reduce the time it takes to mow and perform other maintenance tasks around your property. Furthermore, some services have multiple employees working concurrently, enabling them to tackle several projects at the same time and complete them in a fraction of the time it would take a homeowner working on his or her own.

10 Steps to Selling Your Home

1. Decide when to sell: In real estate, timing can influence your home’s selling price. Factors like how quickly you need to sell, whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market and seasonality all plays a role in your home’s final 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. Or look for names on “For Sale” signs in your neighbourhood or ask your friends and family. Make sure to interview two or three candidates and choose the one you like best.

3. Sign a Listing Agreement: This authorizes your REALTOR® and their brokerage to market and sell your home. It will define the legal relationship between you and the real estate brokerage and also set a time limit for your REALTOR® to 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: get rid of the clutter, clean and repair as much as you can, within reason.

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. This happens with a “For Sale” sign, open houses, newspaper ads, a listing on the MLS®, the internet, and,

What is MLS?

The Multiple Listing Service® 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 VIREB MLS® maintains information on between 4800-7000 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.

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 REALTOR® 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.

This article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.

of course, through your REALTORS®’ relationship with other REALTORS®.

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”? What taxes are involved?

These are all important questions to ask your REALTOR® your mortgage lender and your notary public or lawyer.

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.

Now used in marketing, tracking, entertainment and instore product labeling.

QR codes can store addresses and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) may appear on almost any object about which users might need information.

Home Owners Grant Since 1957, the BC Government has helped reduce the amount of property taxes you pay to your local government. To be eligible for the grant, the property owner must be: • A Canadian citizen or landed immigrant and reside in British Columbia.

• The registered owner or eligible occupant of the home located within the province.

• Living in the home as your principal residence. The grant doesn’t apply to summer cottages, second homes or rental properties.

Spouses who live together, who are married or live together in a marriage-like relationship, including same-sex partners, can qualify for a grant on one residence in the province in a calendar year. Spouses who live apart can each claim a grant on their principal residence if they have a written separation agreement or a court order recognizing the separation.

Eligible home owners must apply for their grant each year before their tax due date.

How much is the grant?

For 2011, the basic grant reduces taxes for home owners under the age of 65 by up to $570. The additional grant for home owners aged 65+ and eligible veterans and disabled home owners is $275, for up to a total of $845. The basic grant is reduced by $5 for each $1,000 of assessed value over $1,150,000 and is eliminated on homes assessed at $1,264,000 and above. The additional grant is reduced by $5 for each $1,000 of assessed value over $1,150,000 and is eliminated on homes assessed at $1,319,000 and above. For information, please visit: www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/hog New initiatives in 2011: • The Industrial Property Tax Credit increased to 60 per cent of school property taxes payable by light and major industrial properties.

• There is a new credit of 50 per cent of school property taxes for land classified as 'farm'.

Multiple owners, multiple grants?

If you own a property with others, decide which owner will pay the taxes so you don’t pay twice. If, for example, there are three owners living in a dwelling as a principal residence, only one Home Owner Grant can be claimed.

You may qualify for the Home Owner Grant if you’re a shareholder of a corporation, or a member of a housing cooperative or housing society that owns: • an apartment building • housing cooperative buildings • housing society buildings The corporation or cooperative or society applies for grants for all eligible property or units in the building and passes the grant benefit to qualifying occupants. An eligible property includes: • land shown as a separate taxable parcel on a tax roll that has a taxable improvement • a building containing at least two apartment units, each occupied by an eligible occupant • eligible land cooperative residences • a multi-dwelling leased parcel with two or more residences on it This article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.

What is Agency?

www.pqbnews.com

15

REALTORS® work within a legal relationship called agency.

The agency relationship is established through a contract between you (the client) and your agent (the company under which the REALTOR® is licensed). Most REALTORS® use a blue brochure titled “Working with a Real Estate Agent” to disclose the nature of the agency relationship with their client.

The essence of the agency relationship is that the agent has the authority to represent you in dealings with others.

A REALTOR® can act for a seller or a buyer, or to a limited degree, both. Whomever they represent, REALTORS® have a legal obligation to uphold the integrity of their clients, while protecting and promoting their interests.

To eliminate any confusion, particularly if you are a buyer, it is important to establish from the start the agency relationship that exists between you and the REALTOR® you select. These relationships may include: Seller's Agent- When a REALTOR® is a seller's agent, he or she must do their best for the seller of the property. The REALTOR® will provide the seller with a fair assessment of the property, prepare a listing agreement, develop a marketing plan and help separate the “lookers” from “buyers.” He or she will ensure that only serious offers are made.

Buyer's Agent- When a REALTOR® is a buyer's agent, he or she must do their best for the buyer. A written contract establishing this relationship will explain the services to be provided and spell out if any special fees will be paid. It will also specify what obligations a buyer may have, such as working with the REALTOR® for a specified period of time.

Limited Dual Agent- Occasionally, a REALTOR® will act as the agent for both the buyer and seller. Since the REALTOR® has promised a duty of confidentiality, loyalty and full disclosure to both parties at the same time, it is necessary to limit these duties in this situation if both parties agree. If you find yourself involved in a dual agency relationship, before making or receiving an offer both you and the other party will be asked to consent in writing to this new, limited agency relationship. The REALTOR® will explain fully what kind of information he or she can and cannot disclose to the other party.

No Agency- You may also choose to use the services of a REALTOR® without having any kind of agency relationship. This might occur, for example, when the seller's agent is showing you a property. The REALTOR® you choose to work with in this situation has a legal and ethical duty to provide you with accurate and honest answers to your questions and can assist you in your search for a home. A REALTOR® who is not your agent cannot, however, recommend or suggest a price, negotiate on your behalf, inform you of his or her principal's bottom line or disclose any confidential informa-

tion about his or her principal.

Understanding your relationship with a REALTOR® is the first step in ensuring your real estate transaction is the best one you can make. The REALTOR® you select should be someone who cares about your needs and has the experience to provide you with sound, effective advice and professional service.
