Got Jobs? - Great Locations To Buy Real Estate Series

July 1st, 2009

http://kyegrace.com When it comes to buying Real Estate there is a cliche 'location, location, location' which while overused has some validity.

One of the components of what makes for a good location to buy Real Estate is employment and proximity to major employers.

Major employers result in population growth and stability. Often these people will want to live close ...

Selling and Buying (Completing) The Same Day...Not Worth The Risk

June 29th, 2009

Many Vancouver home sellers and buyers are unaware of the potential dangers of having a real estate sale and purchase complete on the same day.

The best situation is to have one or two business days between completion of the 'old' house and the completion of the 'new' house. It does not help to have weekend days or holidays in between.

To make it really simple if you are u ...

Why I Have A Vancouver Real Estate Video Blog & So Should Others

June 26th, 2009

I am providing a presentation to a group of Vancouver Realtors as we speak (they are suffering through my horrible typing right now) explaining the benefits of using video for their Real Estate business.

And yes I have reinforced the importance of GOOD lighting! My apologies for the poor contrast.

The primary reasons I use video blogging in my Vancouver Real Estate busi ...

National Real Estate Prices...Should You Care?

June 25th, 2009

An interesting conversation about Real Estate prices is unfolding on Twitter. Specifically relating to national house prices.

My thoughts?

Irrelevant for anyone buying or selling a home locally.

If you are buying Real Estate in Vancouver do you really care what the house prices in Peggy's Cove, Montreal, Windsor, Moosejaw, Edmonton, Yellowknife etc are doing?

Subject Clauses Aren't A 'Get Out Of Your Real Estate Deal for FREE' Card

June 24th, 2009

A Subject Clause is condition that states an event of some type needs to occur before either the buyer or seller is required to complete the purchase or sale of Real Estate.

Subject Clauses need to have a very clear meaning to be enforceable. Great subject clauses contain clear, concise and specific wording. The whole point of the subjects is to create an enforceable con ...

You've Bought A Home & The Appliances Are Missing, What Now?

June 23rd, 2009

You move in to your new Vancouver home and the appliances are gone or have been replaced with inferior models. Perhaps the home seller took the washer and dryer or the swing set. Although it rarely happens it is good to know what your options are if it does.

What now?

Most importantly, keep a cool head.

Buying Real Estate and moving into your new home can be stre ...

Will The Real Estate Industry Gaurd Information & Data Until It Is Too Late?

June 22nd, 2009

The Real Estate industry has a massive amount of valuable data, knowledge, experience and technical information available to the consumer.

All available to you once you agree to work with a Realtor. Or at the very least agree to endure a sales pitch from a Realtor.

Now I will acknowledge for decades this has been a very successful business model. That combined with n ...

Do Just Listed & Just Sold Postcards Get Results?

June 19th, 2009

I am very curious about the effectiveness of Just Listed and Just Sold postcards that are mailed to homes by Realtors.

I am curious if people actually read these post cards and if they saw enough of them from any one Realtor would that be enough to hire that Realtor?

That is the goal of the postcards, they are to market the Realtor in a particular area.

There is the odd chan ...

This led to me think about how one could usehttp://meetup.com to learn about buyinge or selling Real Estate along with investing.

Real Estate Search Apps For Vancouver Home Buyers

June 17th, 2009

Search For Vancouver Real Estate on Your iPhone

A few months ago I talked about a lack of mobile real estate search applications for the new breed of cell phones.


Since then I have discovered a pair of applications for the iPhone that allow you to search for Real Estate including filtering by address, price, beds, and baths.
One is now active and ot ...
