WHY CHOOSE RE/MAX?

WHY CHOOSE RE/MAX? THE RIGHT CHOICE IN SELECTING A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL

FEATURE

10

How are you going to buy or sell your dream home or investment property? Our homes are typically one of the biggest investments that we make in our lifetime, so choosing a REALTOR® to help you buy or sell that home is a crucial decision. It seems as though there are real estate companies popping up everywhere overnight, all vying for your business – you have more choices than ever – however, HERE’S WHY RE/MAX IS RIGHT FOR YOU: 1. Customer Satisfaction - Approximately 70% of RE/MAX business comes from repeat and referral clients, a testimonial to the high caliber of service RE/MAX customers have come to expect from their Sales Associates.

5. Referral Network – We are part of a global real estate franchise network that spreads across 67 countries and eight territories, on six continents. RE/MAX is an organization of more than 120,000 Sales Associates in more than 6,900 offices worldwide.

2. Proven Track Record - In large part, our community minded top producers provide industry leadership, experience and excellent customer service under a respected company banner. RE/MAX dominates virtually every market in Canada, in terms of market share. On average, RE/MAX outsells the competition 3-1 across Canada.

6. Education – RE/MAX associates on average hold more professional designations than other salespeople – they have set industry standards in productivity by mastering the latest technologies, sales strategies, marketing innovations and business systems. Ongoing education is encouraged by providing a private RE/MAX TV network which offers real estate seminars and courses.

3. Experience - RE/MAX professionals lead the industry in terms of experience, education and sales. In Western Canada, they average 16 years of experience, and across the network, hold a higher number of professional designations than associates of any single competitor.

4. Brand Recognition - The RE/MAX name is visible beyond traditional advertising venues such as yard signs and television commercials. It is associated with sports, entertainment and many other community events. The red, white and blue RE/MAX Balloon, with its “Above the Crowd!®” slogan, is one of the most recognizable business logos in the world. No other real estate organization has the level of brand recognition and definition of RE/MAX.

7. Community Involvement - RE/MAX is a front-runner in terms of giving back to the community, often devoting endless support to countless charities and local causes. The RE/MAX sponsorship of the Children’s Miracle Network is a great example, with Canadian REALTOR®’s raising over $3 million annually on behalf of 11 Canadian children’s hospital foundations. 

the whistler story

WHISTLER

12

The story of Whistler is the place, the people and the Olympic Dream.

The land around the small chain of lakes had been inhabited for thousands of years by the Coast Salish First Nations. The valley itself was an isolated wilderness, frequented only by people from the Lil’wat and Squamish Nations, until a trail linking Pemberton to the Pacific was opened in 1877, attracting prospectors and trappers like John Millar.

Over the next several decades other enterprising folks, including Alex and Myrtle Philip and Philip Tapley arrived, turning the isolated valley into a lively, sociable community, with Saturday night dances at the lodge, fishing, boating, picnicking, hiking, exploring, skating, snowshoeing and that new sport - skiing.

In 1960, a group of Vancouver businessmen had a brainwave Vancouver and the mountains north of it, would be a perfect place to hold the ‘68 Games. They began a search for suitable terrain, but one Norwegian, Franz Wilhelmsen, already knew the ideal location. He was nuts about the exhausting yet exhilarating sport of backcountry skiing, it only needed a chairlift to make his life complete!

Proposals were submitted, rejected, modified, researched, rejected again, financed and finally, lift construction began in 1965. Whistler didn’t host those winter Games, and failed in the next bid attempt too, but the vision was always crystal clear: a world-class summer and winter resort, skiing in wide-open bowls and on long, treed trails in winter as well as fishing and hiking in summer, with a commercial area to service the multitudes. The Garibaldi Lift Company opened the Gondola, Big Red Chair and two T-bars on the west side of Whistler Mountain on February 15, 1966.

604.932.2300

Whistler then needed a local government, but one that recognized its unique character and its potential to become a year-round resort.

The answer was the Resort Municipality of Whistler, incorporated on September 6, 1975, as the first designated resort municipality in the country.

Locals made plans to launch Whistler into the international marketplace. They had architects design a pedestrian village at the foot of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Al Raine, then the Provincial Coordinator for Ski Development, called for proposals to develop a sister ski area on Blackcomb. The Garibaldi Lift Company committed to building a three-stage lift access up the north side of Whistler. The Resort Association was created to sell Whistler to the world. And when the village and Blackcomb opened for business in December 1980, the world came.

Locals began to plot another strategy that would extend the Resort’s business through the spring and summer. The strategy involved a careful mix of summer amenities that fit the mountain landscape, like golf and hiking, a line-up of art, concerts and festivals. It worked. Since 1989 the accolades have poured in. By the new millennium, annual visitation surpassed 2 million, with summer visitors exceeding winter and the permanent population growing to 9,500.

Most fittingly, after a third attempt, on July 2, 2003, more than 5,000 residents gathered in Village Square to cheer Jacque Rogge, the President of the International Olympic Committee telecasting live from Prague, as he announced Vancouver/Whistler as the host of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

WHISTLER CREEK

Home of the 2010 Winter Olympic Downhill Ski Racing Events

WHISTLER CREEK

Whistler Creekside and its surrounding neighbourhoods are located at the southern end of the Whistler Valley. On approaching Whistler from Vancouver, these communities, both old and new, are scattered along the base of Whistler Mountain’s northwest facing slopes and beside the beautiful lakes of Alpha, Nita and Alta. Creekside itself is the hub of this area, claiming to its fame that it was the original Whistler and the location of the first gondola; over the last 3 years it has received a significant face change. Properties in this area vary considerably with the old and new blending artfully, including new luxury properties in locations such as Kadenwood and Stonebridge as well as some of the oldest resortcondominium style properties along Alta Lake Road. The area still offers good value for money with opportunities for building your own dream home, renovating a slightly older home, buying into modern ski-in/ski-out condos or just finding a home with that private setting – but still just 5 minutes from all the action.

Mortgage Financing for Non Residents of Canada

The maximum lending amount is usually 65% of the purchase price (or appraised lending value) but there are circumstances where 75% loan to value is acceptable depending on the applicant’s information and the purchase price of the property.

Mortgage rates are either fixed or variable and you choose what rate and term is best for you. Fixed rate terms range from 1-10 years (most popular is 5yrs) and variable rate terms are 5 years in length. If you choose a fixed rate your rate remains constant for the length of the term but if you choose a variable rate your rate can fluctuate as it is linked to prime lending rate.

When your term ends, you have the option of paying your mortgage in full or renewing into another term of your choice as repayment of the mortgage is usually amortized over 25 years.

Mortgage payments are made monthly, biweekly or weekly and must be from a Canadian bank account. It is suggested that you transfer enough funds to cover the payments for a 3-6 month period and sometimes a lender will require that you deposit 12 months worth of payments into a separate account which will be held as security in case of default.

1. Proof of down payment via a three month history of your bank account or investment statements showing the down payment is from nonborrowed sources 2. Bankers reference letter from your current financial institution 3. Personal net worth statement 4. Identification – 2 pieces of picture ID 5. A copy of your international credit report (if you are a US citizen we can request on your behalf) 6. Income verification via employment letter, paystubs, tax returns, etc.

In conclusion, financing for non-residents in Canada is available and is relatively easy to attain. If you are thinking about purchasing, let me know how I can help make your dreams of owning a home in Canada come true!

Why such a character trait is an advantage in Ski Cross becomes obvious when you consider what it takes to win in this demanding, single elimination competition.

Four to six racers set out simultaneously down a technically challenging course, forced to negotiate rollers, jumps, banked turns and tabletops at speeds in excess of 70km/h, with only the two fastest to cross the finish line in each heat able to advance to the next round.

Ski Cross will debut as a full medal sport in Vancouver 2010 Winter Games. And Julia and her friends on the Canadian Ski Cross National Team intend to bring home some medals.

Born in Whistler, the daughter of three-time World Champion Freestyle skier, Stephanie Sloan and former “Crazy Canuck”, Dave Murray (deceased), and now the stepdaughter of Ray Longmuir, Julia has been skiing since the age of two, and competing as a member of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club since the age of nine.

Vail, says: “Since she grew up on skis, not only does she know how to turn properly, Julia is an excellent glider and is very comfortable in the air – qualities that are very important in Ski Cross. In a sport that requires a lot of nerve, Julia, who has a great personality, is confident in herself, has learned quickly and continues in every race to develop skills like drafting and passing.”

In her blog, Julia describes one of the heats in last season’s X-Games: “Out of the gate I was in 4th place, then over a whoop section I got passed, so I ended up in the back, just itching to find a hole to pass through, until I got squashed over a roller and flew into the fence; bashing my chin yet again for the third time since summer!”

Undeterred, Julia, who is presently 10th in the FIS World Cup ranking, posted firsts on the Jeep King of the Mountain Tour in Sun Valley, and at Europa Cup and FIS races in Sierra Nevada, Spain. Julia is quick to point out that she trains and competes a coterie of other fantastic young Whistler Ski Crossers, including friends Davey Barr (presently ranked #4 in the world in Ski Cross), Brian Bennett and Ashleigh McIvor.

Characteristically, Julia sees 2010 as a great opportunity to open her sport to the world, but she is also personally confident that, on the basis of the experience she will gain in this season and with hometown support behind her, a podium finish, even the Gold, is well within her capability. Coach Kehl concurs.

Follow Julia’s progress on her website at www.juliamurray.ca.

Julia skied the four traditional alpine disciplines in NorAm and Canadian National competitions until the age of eighteen, when, in the spring of 2007, she was invited to attend a series of Ski Cross camps at Cypress, Farham Glacier and Powder King, and was subsequently named to the Canadian National Ski Cross Team.

Of Julia, Coach Brent Kehl from Cypress, one of two National Ski Cross coaches along with Eric Archer from www.remax-whistler.com

Feature

A newcomer to the relatively new sport of Ski Cross, Julia Murray has been described as possessing “the determination of a pit bull on speed.”

The Phase 1 zoning allows the owner to do the following: • You can occupy the property on a full time basis • You can rent the property on a month to month tenancy • You can rent the property on a nightly / weekly basis

Phase 2 zoning is very restrictive with respect to the Owner’s usage.

The purpose of the zoning is to make sure there are always a large number of properties available to resort guests at any given time.

The zoning allows the owner to do the following:

This zoning states that if you are not occupying the property on a full-time basis you are obligated to make it available for rental. It is more or less a gentleman’s agreement as no one from the Resort Municipality of Whistler enforces or checks to see the status of the property.

• You have personal use of your property for up to 28 days in the summer season (April 15 to Oct 15) and up to 28 days in the winter season (Oct 15 to April 15). Change over occurs at 2:00PM • You can book a maximum of up to 21 days at any time in each season • You can make short term bookings which the hotel can honor if the occupancy rate is less than 80%. This may not affect your long term booking days.

If it is unknown, as to the owner’s usage (personal versus rental) the taxes are based on the residential tax rate, substantially lower than the commercial rate.

Many of the Phase 1 properties are rented privately or have more owner usage so it is difficult to get rental revenues that have any useful value. It is advisable to talk to a property rental management company prior to any purchase to determine what they feel the potential revenues might be.

As the property must be made available for nightly rental, they are considered commercial ventures and taxed at the commercial rate.

As well, all Phase 2 properties have a hotel management contract and pooled revenue sharing that you must accept as part of your purchase.

IndiviDual Suite vs Rental Pool*

It is also important is to consider the rules and regulations with regards to ‘how the property may be rented’? The two main types of rental are: Properties considered to be ‘Individual Suites’ can be rented nightly, monthly or yearly and will only receive income as, and when, it is actually rented.

Properties placed into a ‘Rental Pool’ receive a proportion of the total daily revenue, irrelevant as to whether the actual property is rented or not. The share of this revenue is relative to the other suites in the rental pool, ie. the value received is based on square footage, bedrooms/bathrooms and views which is called “Interest Upon Destruction” (IUD) or unit factor (UF) number – which is set by the developer. * Based on general concepts, but buyers should check management contracts on each property, as there are various versions of the concept. 

PHASE 1*

Unravel Real Estate Terminology

Properties purchased in Whistler have been categorized by the Resort in order to ensure that Whistler can both maximise the bed space available to tourists as well as enable individuals to invest in real estate. It is important to understand the zoning, commonly known in Whistler as ‘Phase One or Two’, that your potential new home is categorized under, because it will make a large impact on your decision making process.

Top 10 Important Questions

tO DiScUsS WiTh yOuR REALTOR® WhEn

BuYiNg pRoPeRtY In wHiStLeR

Feature

46

Although buying a home in Whistler is a fairly simple process for both residents and non-residents of Canada, some questions will need to be answered by yourself, your RE/MAX REALTOR®, Lawyer or Accountant. Ensure that you understand the information needed, to assist yourself in making the right choice, here are RE/MAX Sea to Sky Real Estate Whistler’s Top 10 questions.

1. THE OBVIOUS QUESTION IS ‘PRICE VERSUS AFFORDABILITY’?

In what price range are you comfortable and does this afford you your preferred number of bedrooms and bathrooms?

6. ARE YOU LOOKING TO EARN NIGHTLY RENTAL REVENUE? If you are, would you like to organize this nightly rental yourself through owner-direct websites, have a completely hands-off relationship with a rental management company, or a blend of the two?

7. ARE YOU PURCHASING WITH CASH OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO FINANCE YOUR HOME? If so, are you aware of the downpayment requirements for residents, non-residents and for some nightly rental properties?

2. WHAT is your preferred location?

How important is it to be centrally located with all the Village amenities at your doorstep? Or would you prefer ski-in/ski-out?

8. WHAT ARE THE ASSOCIATED PURCHASE COSTS AND PROCESSES INVOLVED? Questions such as what are the legal costs, purchase taxes, and any other relevant fees? How do you negotiate with a seller? What terms conditions can you put as part of your contract, such as standard deposits and the length of time to complete on the purchase?

3. WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTY ARE YOUR LOOKING FOR? Whistler offers a phlethora of properties to meet everyone’s style, price and size. Do you think you’d like a single family home, condominium/apartment, townhome, vacant land on which to build, fractional ownership, timeshare, or even a commercial property?

9. WHO ARE THE BEST COMPANIES TO ASSIST ME BEFORE AND AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY PROPERTY? How do you find the best rental managers, lawyers, accountants, building inspectors, mortgage brokers, foreign currency exchange companies, banks, housekeeping companies, ski rentals, or transportation companies?

4. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED WHICH AMENITIES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU? Make a list of the amenities which would help to make your home ideal and are a priority to you and your family: a hot tub, swimming pool, secure parking, hotel services, a full kitchen, washer/dyer, bus service, schools, etc.?

10. ARE YOU AWARE OF THE CURRENT REAL ESTATE MARKET IN WHISTLER AND HISTORICAL TRENDS? What are the current and historical trends of this market and in the various properties you might be interested in purchasing?

Understand your expected investment returns.

5. HOW MUCH PERSONAL USE ARE YOU INTENDING TO HAVE OF THE PROPERTY? Do you think you will use it for a couple of weeks in the winter and summer, are you intending to live in it full-time, or use it as a weekend retreat?

CENTRAL WHISTLER

Brio, Alta Vista, White Gold and Nesters have experienced a gradual change; where once traditional cabins and A-frames stood, land values have attracted increasing attention and now new chalets and luxurious homes have begun to dominate the scene. Whistler Cay Heights with its close proximity to The Village offers probably the most variety of homes as well as townhomes and condos. Whistler Cay Estates extends down into the valley alongside the northeast banks of Alta Lake and has the reputation for being Whistler’s original family location.

The son of Laurie and Mike Hallat of Coquitlam, 24 year-old Matt, who lives in Whistler, has been a member of the Canadian ParaAlpine Ski Team since 2002, competing in NorAm, Europa Cup and World Cup events, as well as the 2004 IPC World Championship in Austria, and the 2006 Paralympics in Torino. His road to elite athletics began at the age of five, when he was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, and a medical procedure a month later resulted in the amputation of his right leg at the knee. Growing up playing soccer, baseball, hockey, and golf, and mountain biking, Matt says, “I found my true calling the day I stepped into my first ski. The exhilaration of racing down the mountain, dodging in and out of people was something that was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.”

Skiing without a prosthesis, Matt competes in Para-Alpine events in the Standing Skier category, in which he uses special poles called outriggers, equipped with short ski blades to help him maintain balance (There are two other Paralymic classification categories: one for blind and partially sighted skiers and one for skiers competing from a seated position.) At the Canadian Para-Alpine Ski Championships in Kimberley in 2003, Matt posted a first in Slalom, and two years later, at the same event in Sunshine, racked up firsts in Slalom, Giant Slalom and Super-G, with a second in Downhill. Coming off a season in which he had broken the femur of his non-ski leg, Matt’s overall World Cup results last year positioned him at 20th in Slalom, 24th in Giant Slalom, 16th in Combined and 15th in Super-G. www.remax-whistler.com

“Not many skiers are as committed, as devoted or as dedicated as Matt,” observes his coach, Jean-Sebastien Labrie. ”He makes the right choices, always works hard and has been making real progress physically, getting much stronger lately. What Matt needs to do in the upcoming season is be consistent. We’re aiming for Top 10 finishes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he busts into the Top 5 in Slalom. Matt is truly committed to succeeding and mentally comfortable with the challenge. He’s going for it, so everybody should keep an eye out for him in 2010.”

Training with and competing in the speed events against CPAST teammate Morgan Perrin, Matt spent time this summer and fall on the Farnham Glacier near Radium, preparing for the upcoming World Cup season. Appreciative of the support of all sponsors of Canadian para-alpine racing, including his corporate sponsor, McElhanney, Matt is realistic about the challenge he faces. “I know it’s not going to be easy.

I know I need to develop consistency. But since I’ve put on 30 pounds of muscle over the last three seasons, I don’t see any reason why, with

Profiling MATT HALLET - PARAympic SKIER

What drives this Paralympian to succeed? Matt Hallat gives us an insight on his own website, where he quotes one of his coaches, who says: “When I get up in the morning, go to work, the grocery store, and take on the normal day’s tasks, I am disabled. But when I step into a ski, I am equal.

I can ski with anybody.”

WHISTLER NORTH

On the northern end of the Whistler Valley lie the largest residential neighbourhoods of Whistler. Often referred to as the area where the locals live, these communities offer a blend of old and new single family homes often situated on large lots, with amazing views of Whistler, Blackcomb, Wedge and Armchair Mountains as well as the largest and coldest of Whistler’s lakes – Green Lake. Emerald, the most northerly neighbourhood, still less than a 10 minute drive from the ski slopes, is a quiet residential area that still offers opportunities to buy older properties and vacant lots. Rainbow, Whistler’s newest neighbourhood which is still in planning stages, has been designed as a true family community, including its own commercial area. Alpine Meadows offers a truly eclectic range of homes of varying sizes, shapes and prices, however, there is a pervading Blackcomb feeling that it is the heart of this area, perhaps due to all its amenities such Mountain Ex Whistler ca as the Sports Centre and Secondary School, playgrounds, rivers and trails.Mountain lib u Dynamically opposite is Nicklaus North, designed tor Gondocomplement its la P of recently namesake a world renowned golf course, which mainly consists P built luxury homes and townhomes.

The Canadian Snowboard Federation website issues this warning to all freestyle snowboarders – “Watch out - Mercedes Nicoll is comin’ in hot!”

Hot off a second-place finish in the Canadian Nationals and fifth-, seventh- and eigth-place showings at World Cup events in Canada and Korea in 2008, the spritely, 24-year old blond Halfpipe specialist is “rippin’ it up, as she is on target and on schedule to do Canada and her adopted hometown of Whistler proud in 2010.

The daughter of proud parents Alix and John Nicoll, Mercedes, who was originally a figure skater, was born in North Vancouver and didn’t take up snowboarding until the family moved to Whistler from Toronto when she was twelve. It was two years later that Dennis Bannock, one of her CSF coaches today, first encountered Mercedes at the Brohm Ridge Super Pipe Camp. “Even at that young age you could see that she had good style and good tricks. Mercedes has three qualities that are essential for budding champion in this sport: she’s dedicated, has a good work ethic, and knows what looks good!”

2007 Chevrolet Grand Prix Halfpipe champion), and the Aussie, Torah Bright (2006 US Open Halfpipe champion.)

Dividing her time between Whistler and Mammoth Mountain in California (one of her corporate sponsors along with Flow Snowboards, Powderroom Outerwear and IS Eyewear), Mercedes continually strives to push herself to new competitive heights, training as often as possible with male boarders like friend and fellow CSF Team member, Brad Martin. She numbers fellow Team members, Dominique Vallée and Sarah Conrad, who both live in Squamish and snowboard with Mercedes out of Whistler, as her “good buds” - great friends and competitors who share the same dreams. Says Mercedes, “In other sports, your competitors are not there to help you; they are just interested in helping themselves. But snowboarding is way more laid back and if someone is having trouble we all help each other out.”

As a world-class snowboarder, Mercedes has come a long way from that day as a 14-year old entering her first Whistler Sprite competition.

Today her dreams are in the clouds, but her feet are still planted firmly on solid ground. She is quick to thank her parents, her coaches, her CSF team members and her sponsors for helping get so far, and hopes to be ready to perform at her best in 2010 when the world comes to Whistler.

Feature

In a freestyle discipline akin to gymnastics and diving in the Summer Games, Olympic Halfpipe boarders negotiate the length of a 6.7 metrehigh, 16-20 metre-wide, U-shaped snow tube, scaling each wall 2-3 times while performing a series of high-risk, acrobatic aerial tricks, on which their overall performance is rated by six judges according to “style”, the difficulty and choreography of the maneuvers, the quality of their executions and factors such as rotation and amplitude (“air time”.)

Since Mercedes was named to the Canadian National Snowboard Team in 2002 and was “carded” in 2004, her performance has improved steadily year to year – from 2nd and 3rd place finishes in World Cup events in 2005, to a 27th place showing at the Olympic Winter Games in Italy in 2006, to her 11th place in the World Cup in Switzerland in 2007, to her superior performances in 2008. She’s aiming to break into the Top 10 consistently this season, with an ultimate goal of a Top 5 finish during the 2010 Winter Games.

Mercedes is aiming high indeed, as she looks to face-off against formidable competition from the Americans, Gretchen Bleiler (twiceWorld X Games gold and 2006 Olympic silver medallist at Torino) and Kelly Clark (2002 Olympic silver medallist at Salt Lake City and www.remax-whistler.com

giving back thai children’S need for computers is fulfilled by re/max agents It was during this party that Mike and the reason for this story found each other – Mike blames it on the Whiskey – but in reality on hearing the plight of the local school kids need for a computer, it struck a chord with Mike that he was in a position to help. Obviously, the fact that the Principal of the school was only looking for one computer, and the final agreement was that 10 were actually needed indicates that probably Whiskey was a great influencer that night!

The agents of RE/MAX Sea to Sky Real Estate consider themselves to be fortunate in being able to participate in providing the children of this village with 7 computers to date and still counting, when all they were seeking was just one! And until the intervention of fate, the teachers of this far off school couldn’t even have considered that one computer would ever be within their means.

So, what started as a misadventure for one man, as so often these things do, and the opportunity for another has turned in to something worthwhile - giving us all the chance of participation in the welfare of children seeking a better education.

In October of 2007, seven new computers delivered to the school and this past October Mike was able to make a trip there to view first hand the difference that the computers had made to the lives of these children.

We haven’t quite make our goal of ten but we are still committed to getting the money together to buy the last three as well as now continuing to raise money to assist other schools in the area.

If you have some spare change you would like to donate it is greatly appreciated and one hundred percent of the money will go to the purchase and delivery of these computers. Sorry we can’t issue a tax receipt but we are delighted to show you pictures of happy children.

It all occurred when the General Manager of RE/MAX, Mike Wintemute, who was merely planning a little time out of the office, was vacationing in Thailand and, as luck would have it, he met and was befriended by a local. His new friend extended an invitation to his brother’s wedding and Mike, the adventurous sort, decided that this was an opportunity not to be missed - after all how many tourists would ever be afforded this great honour?

On arrival at Nakhon Phanom, a town located in the north east of Thailand, situated on the Mekong River (Laos being directly across the water), Mike checked into the local hotel. From here he was driven about 40 minutes through primarily farming country to the family home where the festivities had begun.

This region of Thailand is fairly poor with many families living five or more in one house, which itself consists of no more than one or two rooms. But the Thais are known for their friendliness and in no time www.remax-whistler.com

Feature

The curious, fascinated stare of a child rapt in wonder at a magical screen before them is enough to make anyone smile – but when it’s a child who lives in a remote Thai village, some 10 hours drive from what we might consider civilization, then it becomes a sense of unmeasureable happiness for the beholder.

On arrival back home in Whistler, Mike started the process of raising money to fulfill this promise and soon realized that his fellow real estate agents and a few close friends, who came on board immediately, was all it was going to take.

Why Use A Realtor®?

A REALTOR®’s commitment to high standards of professional conduct works to the advantage of buyers and sellers alike.

WHY USE A REALTOR®?

The internet has ushered in an age of readily accessible information and with dozens of discount self-serve brokerages popping up each day, you can easily be swayed into thinking handling the sale of real estate is a simple affair. BUT, remember its been proved that up to 80% of all For Sale

By Owners eventually turn to the services of a real estate professional. And with good reason.

FEATRUE

80

Licensed REALTOR®’s are professionally educated, and fully trained to guide you through the sales process with the least amount of risk possible. They are monitored and guided by their brokers and governed by real estate law. They are sworn to uphold to a strict code of ethics and have access to vast array of resources, including their strong network of realestate-related professionals with whom they have worked with personally, often for decades. Successful transactions and happy clients are key to their livelihood and reputation.

It is their business to know exactly what’s going on in their market, as well as in their community.

In our small communities, our RE/MAX REALTOR®’s have frequently been in the business long enough to have been involved in the sales process of the same home more than once - they can anticipate issues with underground oil tanks, previously problematic roofing, zoning issues, flood zones and other un-disclosed situations which may affect the true value of your property. They have a database of experienced professionals to offer solutions that they have personally worked with in the past and have networks of affiliates to facilitate the sales process.

When Buying a Property, a REALTOR® will Help You with the following: Maximizing your Purchasing Power: Your RE/MAX REALTOR® will help you get the best possible property for your budget, notifying you of the newest wellpriced properties on the market so that you don’t miss out on a great opportunity. They can put you in contact with the best lenders, who are up-to-date with the latest financing options and programs. They will also help you understand and be aware of the hidden costs associated with purchasing.

604.892.3571

Home Search Resources: REALTOR®’s are the first to hear about properties as they come onto the market. Additionally, sometimes the perfect property for you is available but not actively advertised in the market. REALTOR®’s have extensive networks of resources and knowledge that will assist you in finding the best property on the market. A real estate agent’s business is to know what’s going on in the market, have the network, resources and insider knowledge to assist you in finding the best property for you.

Objective Information: REALTOR®’s will provide you with valuable community information on utilities, zoning, schools, etc. They will help you determine whether the property will provide the right environment you want as a home or investment and will advise you on its resale value when you are ready to sell in the future. REALTOR®’s understand the history of the property and the neighbourhood and can give you an honest assessment of what’s going on in the market and how this will affect your property as an investment. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for pests, mould, structural deficiencies, roof condition, septic or oil tanks and well tests, just to name a few. Your RE/MAX REALTOR® can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports. They will also assist you regarding the title of the property, which is the document indicates ownership of property, financial liens, legal issues, and details rights of access/easements. This knowledge can help you resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.

Negotiating Skills: Every deal requires patient and precise negotiating on such important factors as price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment. The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required. www.remax-squamish.com

Closing process:

It is crucial to have a full understanding of the contract that you are entering into! Your RE/MAX REALTOR® will explain the details, wording and meaning of these legal documents, and keep you aware of the deadlines, deposits, paperwork, etc. involved in the Contract of Purchase and Sale. They will make sure that your needs are protected, both now and in the future, and ensure that you get what you are paying for.

Between the initial offer and the final closing (or settlement), questions and issues may arise. For example, unexpected repairs, financing snags or an issue in the title is discovered.

The necessary paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your RE/MAX REALTOR® is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to completion.

Above all, your RE/MAX REALTOR® will guide you through the entire purchasing and closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.

Don’t Be Fooled By Low Fees:

Market Evaluation: Your RE/MAX REALTOR®’s business is to know what’s going on in the real estate market in your neighbourhood, and will provide you with accurate and up-to-date information on pricing and market activity, including details on the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties.

These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.

Advertising: Your RE/MAX REALTOR® has the right tools and know-how to get the word out to other real estate agents and to qualified buyers. Often, your RE/MAX REALTOR® will help you with staging your property so that it shows in the best possible light. They can also recommend repairs or cosmetic work that may increase your property’s selling price and saleability.

Your agent can take advantage of the Multiple Listing Service, as well as their own websites and buyer networks.

Your RE/MAX REALTOR® can host open houses for other REALTOR®’s and homebuyers, and will assist in coordinating appointments to show your home to pre-screened, qualified buyers and accompany prospects through your home to point out the properties strengths, answer questions and to ensure the security of your home.

Can You Do It By Yourself?

Although it is true that a few people have been able to stick a For Sale sign on their lawn and sell it themselves in a reasonable amount of time, the level of effort, expense and hassle often isn’t broadcast. For both buyers and sellers, stop and think about how much you trust the honesty, abilities and legal knowledge of the layperson with whom you are about to enter into one of the most important transactions of your life. As with any profession if you decide to take on the role yourself, you must fully comprehend the potential legal and financial risks, as well as weigh up the potential savings against the extra work and time.

Contract Negotiation: Your RE/MAX REALTOR® will objectively evaluate every buyer’s offer without compromising your marketing position.

This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and financing -- a lot of possible pitfalls. Your RE/MAX REALTOR® can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process and protect you in the long run.

FEATURE

When Selling your Property, a REALTOR® will Help You with the following:

REALTOR®’s and their related Brokers charge various fees for services. Some Companies will claim to offer the same services as their competitor for a lower fee. Make sure before you list with any company that you get a written marketing plan that details all of the services provided. The more exposure your property receives the more likely you are to achieve a higher selling price.

RE/MAX SEA TO SKY REAL ESTATE SQUAMISH PEMBERTON

Nestled at the feet of the rugged peaks of Mount Currie, which rises some 8,000 ft, the Village acts as a service hub for the area around the intersections of the Green, Birkenhead and Lillooet river valley. Tourism has become a strong economic player enhancing the farming and forestry mainstays. Pemberton has also become a destination for visitors from around the world as well as a place that more and more young families are calling home.

There are approximately 2,500 residents in the Village and its neighbourhoods. In recent years, Pemberton has undergone a building boom, it is no longer a sleepy little village, but a community blending the old and new. An increase in population has created new real estate opportunities, including a strata-titled hotel, condominiums, townhomes, single-family dwellings and commercial space.
