CHANGES IN THE MARKET - HOW TO STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK AND EXCEL

THE MARKET HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST 6 TO 8 MONTHS

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK?

Smart Sellers know it's time to think out side the box. The conventional methods of selling and marketing used during the "high" times of the last 5 or so years are not going to be enough to deliver the type of results you, the home seller needs.

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE

If your thinking of selling, GO GLOBAL. Limiting yourself to local companies does little to get your hard earned project or home out there. As a Century 21 Realtor I have access to thousands of Realtors world wide and network daily to get buyers from out of country and province into your living room. MLS.ca has been around for years, as a Realtor who has been a part of it from its inception to current day I can tell you its not enough anymore. Your property is one of THOUSANDS on-line. 

The most common complaint I hear from my clients is; I can never reach my Realtor!

THE MARKET HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST 6 TO 8 MONTHS

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK?

Smart Sellers know it's time to think out side the box. The conventional methods of selling and marketing used during the "high" times of the last 5 or so years are not going to be enough to deliver the type of results you, the home seller needs.

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE

If your thinking of selling, GO GLOBAL. Limiting yourself to local companies does little to get your hard earned project or home out there. As a Century 21 Realtor I have access to thousands of Realtors world wide and network daily to get buyers from out of country and province into your living room. MLS.ca has been around for years, as a Realtor who has been a part of it from its inception to current day I can tell you its not enough anymore. Your property is one of THOUSANDS on-line. 

The most common complaint I hear from my clients is; I can never reach my Realtor!

Choosing a Realtor is just as critical as choosing what price to sell your home for. The amount of return will be greatly increased, if who you work with, has the time and resources to dedicate to your sale. Your home is unique; it deserves the same dedication, attention to detail and care from your Realtor that you have committed to it.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE to take advantage of these last days of plenty, all that's required is smart research, thinking outside the box and commitment from both ends. 

Ultimately, the answer is not the panicked knee jerk reaction to a softening market, resist the urge to price your home "sky" high in order to benefit. Place it at what the market will bear, use a professional & dedicated Realtor to place your home ahead of the pack.

Think of it this way, if the market were to drop significantly over the next 6-12 months and you over priced your home at the tail end of the "high" period and don't sell, you just lost much more return than you would have by pricing your home accurately when you had the chance. 

Remember the golden rule when it comes to selling anything; RESEARCH

Last but not least, use a Realtor who will give you something in return! Why not sell with a Century 21 agent and have a week's vacation at one of over 30 world class world wide resorts? Or collect the air miles. Its the least we expect when purchasing groceries or gas, why not when buying or selling a home?

These rewards are available to all referrals as well. If you refer a friend or family member to my services, I will gladly reward your efforts with a trip or air miles upon completion of their transaction. Referrals are the life blood of my business!

Happy investing!

 

Specialties

Farm & Acreage Specialist

Professional Background

 

I have spent the last ten years in the real estate industry working with some of Victoria's top producing Realtors.

Prior to real estate, I had a rewarding career in information technology and have owned several successful businesses.

I have spent the last 28 years owning, coaching and training in several equestrian disciplines and worked extensively with a wide variety of livestock.

I market all residential properties in Victoria and surrounding areas.I am a farm & acreage specialist who excels at marketing farm & acreage. I enjoy the marriage of my three major skills real estate, farming and systems.

Personal Background

My clients benefit greatly from my diverse personal back ground.

My parents settled in the Sidney area in the early 1970's. My grandparents were farmers and settled in Saskatchewan originally. As a child I enjoyed many summers with family on the farm and grew up exploring the many facets of farming in the prairie provinces.

As a young woman I had some wonderful learning and growing experiences in the farming and cattle industries. I worked several summers custom combining, in feed lots, live stock autions and enjoyed every diverse moment learning the lessons of hard work and long days.

I have had a life long career in the equestrian industry. Starting on the farm riding the draft horses bareback through endless fields to competing professionally,  I had a professional sponsorship and qualified for the Alberta Summer Games in show jumping at one stage in my equestrian career. I moved onto breeding and training through the later stages of my equestrian career; developing clinics for all disiplines throughout Alberta and British Columbia in the 1990's.

A car accident in 2003 has prohibited me from returning to the industry in any capacity other than coach or consultant, however, I do enjoy mentoring my daughter,watching her successes and milestones achieved brings me great joy!

Throughout this period I owned and operated several businesses in the Information Technology field. Being a systems analyst and technical support person for many years has left me with a great working knowledge of computers and the internet. A fantastic compliment to real estate as technology is the number one tool in my marketing plans. The world is a much smaller place now thanks to the internet, knowing how to harness that power is critical in this new world of marketing.
