We are days away from it officially being SUMMER. Can you believe it? With the beautiful warm weather & sunshine it's the time of the year to enjoy being outside. 

For those of us who love a well- kept garden but don't have a lot of time for maintenance, there are lots of great project ideas. Add curb appeal and keep your garden neat & tidy with a simple project like the one below.

There are so many weekend warrior DIY projects out there and they don't have to be expensive or complicated. You can also create many of them in stages as you have the time and money to complete them. I found the project above in this list of projects and had a hard time picking just one to feature.

With a little bit of effort you can create an outdoor space to enjoy through the Summer- and year round- that can also make a good first impression with buyers if you're trying to sell. It's important not to ignore the exterior of your house if you want to help boost the chances of selling your home fast.

I have lots of suggestions if you are getting ready to list your home or have had trouble selling in the past. Get in touch and I'll be happy to help you get your home on the market & sold

When it comes to buying or selling your home it can be expensive and stressful. Many try to cut costs by listing their home themselves. While this looks good on paper, adding to your workload as you prepare to move also adds to the stress. Just as you go to the doctor if you need medical treatment, you should have a realtor to help you with your home buying needs and other services. 

Not only are realtors valuable source of knowledge, they can help you prepare your home for sale, decide on a competitive listing price, and help it to sell fast.

Here are some of the pros of hiring a realtor from the BCREA:

- We are professionally trained & continue to upgrade our training

- We conduct ourselves professionally & ethically

- Your dealings are insured

- You receive valuable access to the MLS service

I LOVE a good DIY project! But between keeping busy with work & family, my projects have to be quick & simple. (They also have to be kid friendly in my house!) This project is great if you've been looking for a table or ottoman for a room in your house but haven't found one that fits your style or budget.

This is also a great idea to help stage your home for sale- an inexpensive project to add a little WOW to a room that you can take with you to your new place (perfect for the families who like to flip houses like mine!). These little touches can help your home appeal to buyers and get it sold fast!

When you go to list your home or look to purchase, there are a lot of terms you may encounter; some familiar, some not. Especially for first time home buyers or those dipping their toes into investment opportunities, it helps to know what all of the lingo means.

Here's a list of Commonly Used Real Estate Terms from the BCREA to help you on your way:

The brokerage is the real estate company where a REALTOR® is licensed.

The licensee is a managing broker, associate broker and/or representative of a brokerage.

A REALTOR® is a real estate professional who is a member of a local real estate board, provincial association and The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) that enforce a strict Code of Ethics. Only these professionals can call themselves REALTORS®. In BC, REALTOR® are licensed under the Real Estate Services Act. 

The boards are the real estate boards and associations in whose jurisdiction the property is located and/or of which the brokerage or REALTOR® is a member. They are boards and associations which assist REALTORS® to market, sell or lease real estate. The boards also provide ongoing training for their members, enforce ethical standards and help resolve disputes between members and the public.

The Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) is a computerized cooperative selling system of a real estate board for real estate listings and sales. MLS® System is operated by the boards in conjunction with other real estate boards and The Canadian Real Estate Association.

Personal information means any personal information about you, including your name, address, phone number, financial information and may include information about your property (such as listing and selling price, lease rate, listing term, etc.).

The buyer/tenant is often referred to as the purchaser.

The seller/landlord is often referred to as the vendor.

The principal is someone who has engaged a brokerage to act for and on his or her behalf either to buy, sell or lease real estate.

The landlord is often referred to as the lessor.

The tenant is often referred to as the lessee.

Mere Posting is a listing where the brokerage has chosen or agreed not to provide services to the seller/landlord other than submitting the listing for posting on a Multiple Listing Service®.
