Buying or selling? You made a decision that this is the time for you to move. I can provide a number of options to speed up the process and save you time and money. Please take a moment to read over some of the options that have assisted many of my previous clients.

Are You Tired Of Waiting?!?!?...

I Do More Than Just Put a Sign On Your Lawn:

Over the years I have developed many options tailored to my client’s needs. Let me help you end the wait. I offer more than just a sign on your lawn!

My clients have found the “We Trade Homes” option of great value in purchasing or selling their properties. I also encourage my clients not to overlook these other great solutions. Often a little help is all that is needed to turn your dream into reality and in the process save you money!

What if My Trade Option Is Not For You? You may wish to consider my interim financing option. I can tailor a plan to your needs and budget. This will aid in completing your sale or purchase and avoid any disappointment caused by buying with a “subject clause”. I offer more options than with traditional banks and without the expense and red tape.

Save CMHC Fees: In many cases my clients find that with only a small supplement to their cash equity they can arrange for conventional financing rather than with CMHC. This option can save you many thousands of dollars in mortgage fees that may not be possible through other realtors or lenders.

Purchase With A Partner: I do not offer this option to everyone, but this is an option that I offer to a few select clients each year. I invest the down payment, and rather than a loan, I may partner in sharing the equity for your first purchase. If you feel that home prices are getting away from you faster than you can save the required down payment, then this amazing option may be just what you are looking for.

Financial Challenges: From time to time clients find themselves in some tight financial spots through unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances. Give me a call. I have provided a number of solutions to help in keeping the wolf from the door. This can range from cashing you out on your property or providing easy financing to satisfy creditors until your property is sold. When challenges strike give me a call.

Tailor Made Options: I am in the habit of creating solutions. Bring your real estate needs to Westridge Realty Co. and see what I can do to assist you. In most cases I should be able to provide a solution to whatever challenge you may have. I have been specializing in creative forms of financing and have many satisfied clients to prove it. My motto has always been “All your real estate solutions under one roof” and for good reason.

If you would like more information on any of these solutions, or have any questions, please call me direct at (604) 910-LACE (5223) or email me at lacey@homeswithlacey.com. I look FORWARD to speaking with you soon!

How to Get Top Dollar - Part 2

In my continuing series on “How to Get Top Dollar” I would like to talk about de-personalizing and editing your space.

As I mentioned in my last post in this series, making your home as appealing as possible to a wide array of people is the ultimate goal. One of the first things to understand is once you put your home on the market you must shift your thinking; now it’s time to approach your home as an object for sale– not as your home.

Start by de-personalizing your space. Remove the majority of personal photos and precious personal mementos. While these items are special and important to you, they don’t matter to those coming to view your home. People want to see your home – and the architectural elements that make your home special – not your family pictures.

Second, edit your space. Make your house clean, simple and easy to view by maximizing the space in each room. This means taking some time to sort through your belongings. You may end up donating things you no longer need or packing up items that are not needed until after you move.

You want your rooms to feel spacious, your closets to be organized and your home to feel welcoming. Making your home feel move in ready will help you get top dollar, as potential buyers won’t feel as though they will have additional expenses upon move-in.

If you’d like more information on getting top dollar I’m happy to chat or come by your home to give you some pointers. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
