This action alone, will decrease the chances of you finding out about a great place for sale only to find out you are too late and some other buyer has scooped it up.
I’m surprised to see the number of people who as their primary technique peruse magazines, print ads or call directly off of for sale signs, days or in most cases weeks after the property has hit the market.
Or those who go to public MLS® sites, add their criteria each time and check what is available when they get a minute. These actions are all good to do but only as a supplement to the searches you have saved that are working for you, finding properties 24 hours a day and notifying you only when something you’d be interested in comes on.
Contact me at 780-893-0269 to book your free buyer consultation including your personalized Buyer Action Plan.
In the meantime you can set up and save your own searches so you’ll be notified immediately via email the minute something new comes onto the market that fits your needs.
Remember to email or call me if you have any questions at all.
Sincerely,
Kevin Grenier REALTOR® ABR®SRS® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative, Seller’s Representative Specialist)
This question came in from one of my clients, I thought you’d find the information helpful so I’ve posted it here.
“I always think of whether it is better for me to buy a house or an apartment, I mean, money-wise. As you know, the house will cost you maintenance fee, while the apartment will cost the condo fee. What do you think which is cheaper?” Helen
Hi Helen, the short answer is a condo is cheaper however the house gives you more options & more control over the expenses with no money going to a management company. Kevin
“Although I prefer to buy an apartment, I worry that the condo fee will rise up as they want, then I have no way to control it! What do you think? Will they raise the condo fee as they want? Or is there law that prevents them from doing this?” H Continue reading →

I am often called upon to do market evaluations for people looking at selling their homes but I’m getting a growing number of requests from past clients wanting to know how much their planned renovation will cost and what the increased value of the property would be too.

There are a number of factors I look at when doing a market evaluation and I haven’t found any program that is more accurate than I am in figuring out what your property is worth, in fact some of the programs although well intentioned give inaccurate results and if relied upon could cost you a lot of money and time.
That said, I’d like to share with you a tool that I’ve frequently used to get a rough idea of how much a specific renovation like a bathroom or kitchen renovation might increase the overall value of your home by.
I’ve just added a powerful new property search tool to my arsenal which will allow you to search for properties for sale all across the globe from wherever you are in the world.
This has been in the works for some time and involved cooperation from many different real estate boards. You asked for barrier free access to MLS listings and this is what came of that. Check it out and comment on how you feel about it below, I’d love to hear your feedback as we strive to further improve this valuable tool.

Foreclosure counselors can make the difference between losing your home and keeping it. Here’s how they work and how to choose one.
If you’re facing foreclosure, your foreclosure counselor will be a key part of your foreclosure team. As you start looking for one, however, you need to know what exactly they do, what they don’t do, and how to choose one who’s legitimate and qualified.
What a foreclosure counselor does
