Sell with Confidence705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com | taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377Support Enhanced Professionalism. Designated RepresentionIntroduction of designated representation as an alternative to brokeragerepresentation. Under designated representation, the designatedrepresentative provides the representation to the client. As a result, multiplerepresentation will only arise when the same agent is the designatedrepresentative for the buyer and seller or more than one competing buyer inthe same trade.Comission Explained Seller, you and the desigated representative decide the amount you will pay forservices. The amount is not fixed or approved by RECO, any governmentauthority, or any real estate association or real estate board. You can agree to pay a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the sale price, or acombination of both. The representation agreement cannot specify an amount based on the differencebetween a property’s listing price and what it sells for. Agreements must also identify circumstances in which the amounts agreed tomight change and how they will change in each circumstance. As a seller: Your agreement needs to clearly indicate: 1. The amount you agree to pay your brokerage or representative (or how it will becalculated) for the services and representation you receive; 2. The amount (or how it will be calculated) you agree to pay, if any, tocompensate the buyer for their brokerage fees; 3. How the amounts you agree to pay might change if you consent to multiplerepresentation
Sell with ConfidenceMultiple representation means a designated representative or brokerage representsmore than one client, with competing interests, in the same transaction. This can happen in different ways, depending on the type of representation agreementyou and the other clients have with the brokerage.Under brokerage representation, multiple representation happens when:The brokerage represents both the buyer and seller in the same transaction, or the brokerage represents two or more competing buyers interested in the sameproperty.This is true even when the clients are working with different real estate agents.Under designated representation, multiple representation happens when:The same real estate agent is the designated representative for both the buyer and theseller in the same transaction, or the same real estate agent is the designated representative for two or morecompeting buyers interested in the same property. Multiple representation is not permitted unless each of the clients involved agrees. Youshould seek independent professional advice (for example, from your real estate lawyer)before proceeding.The brokerage or your designated representative has a duty to promote and protect yourbest interests and avoid conflicts of interest. If your brokerage or designatedrepresentative enters into an agreement with another client who has an interest in thesame property as you, this places both clients in multiple representaion.Multiple Representaion Expalined !!705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com| taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377

OFFERS & NEGOTIATIONSFactors to Consider705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com | taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377CLOSING COSTSCONTINGENCY CLAUSESClosing costs fall under the buyer's list of expenses, but buyers may ask theseller to pay for a portion, or all of this expense, as part of the sale negotiation.A contingency clause is a qualifying factor that has to be met in order forthe buyer to move forward with the sale. Contingency clauses often includedetails of financing, inspections and home sales, and the terms can benegotiated between the parties. The contingency allows the buyer to backout of the contract without penalty if the terms are not met.CLOSING DATESome buyers may be looking to move in as soon as possible, while othersmay need more time in order to sell their own house. You may be able toselect an offer based on a timeframe that works best for you, or you mighthave to be more flexible in order to close the deal.Accepting the highest price offer seems like a logicalchoice, but there are many factors to consider when reviewingan offer and knowing your options lets you come up with aplan that works best for you. CASH OFFERSome sellers accept a lower priced cash offer over a higher priced loan offerbecause there are typically less issues that come up, like for example a loanfalling through. Consider your timeline and finances to evaluate if it is worthaccepting a lower offer for a faster closing and often a much simpler process.
Securing home access points. As potential buyers tour homes, they tend to open doors andwindows, which can inadvertently lead to an unsecured home. While it’s important thatREALTOR® make sure the home is secured before leaving a showing, sometimes an unlockeddoor is missed. After every showing, homeowners should also check that every window and entrypoint into the home is locked and secured. This simple but crucial step can help prevent break-ins.Sensitive documents are usually stored in desk spaces, so homeowners should be aware of whatcould easily be seen during showings. Bills with account numbers, agendas of children’s activities,business-related contracts with personal information, checkbooks or financial statements—all ofthese run the risk of identity theft or worse. To prevent this, homeowners should gather all criticaldocuments and lock them in a firesafe file cabinet. As an added bonus, remember—buyersshould feel like they’re touring their future home, not someone else’s home; having an officedevoid of these documents in plain view will also help market the space to future buyers!LISTING SAFETY CHECKLIST Factors to Consider705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com| taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377CLEAR YOUR DESK Use a listing safety checklist to ensure you, your family and potential buyers stay protected. Oursafety checklist will help you create a safe environment before your home hits the market!LOCK AWAY ALL PRESCRIPTION DRUGSWhile many people keep their prescription drugs easily accessible in a medicine cabinet, it’scrucial that homeowners secure all prescription drugs prior to all home tours. This can protecthomeowners from losing their prescription drugs to those who might sell or abuse them.Purchasing a locking medicine cabinet and storing it out of sight during home showings reducesthis risk.CHECK ALL ACCESS POINTS AFTERSHOWINGS Much like with firearms and prescription drugs, secure your heirlooms and valuables like finejewelry and antiquities. Anything that has tremendous sentimental or financial value should belocked and secured to prevent damage or theft.SECURE YOUR VALUABLES One of the most overlooked last steps for listing a home is making sure your, valuables and otheritems are not only properly secured, but sufficiently insured. Check with your insurance companyprior to listing to make sure you are carrying insurance on those items in case of damage or theftduring the listing or moving stages. PRO TIPA “For Sale” sign in the yard is typically an open invitation for anyone to knock on a seller’s door andask to see the home. For a homeowner’s safety, it’s crucial that they hire an experienced Realtor tolist their home; they can screen applicants to ensure they are committed to finding a home, and arefinancially capable of purchasing. Homeowners should never provide their own tours to strangers. Ifa potential buyer knocks on your door, instruct them to call the Realtor on the “For Sale” sign toschedule an appointment.SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS

A seller may attempt to negotiate only to find out that it was the bestoffer the buyer could present. In the meantime, other buyers have found new properties theyare interested in.

UNDER CONTRACTSteps Before Closing705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com | taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377AppraisalInspectionIf the buyer is applying for a loan, the bank will request an appraisal to confirm thatthe home is worth the loan amount. The appraisal takes into account factors such assimilar property values, the home's age, location, size and condition to determinethe current value of the property.Home inspections if completed pre -listing, comprehensively evaluate a property’scondition, ensuring buyers make informed decisions and sellers meet their disclosureobligations. Home inspections are pivotal for real estate transactions ensuringtransparency, buyer confidence, and legal compliance. Possible Repair RequestsIf a Buyer has a continingency wrtitten in the AOPS with regards to an inspection,buyers may have repairs they would like completed before purchasing your home.Typically there is room for negotiation, but some of these items can be dealbreakers. It is necessary for both parties to come to an agreement on what will berepaired and what will not, and if there will be a price deduction in order toaccommodate for the repairs.Final Walk throughBefore a buyer signs the closing paperwork, they will come to the home to do afinal walk through. This last step is to verify that no damage has been done to theproperty since the inspection, that any agreed upon repairs have been completed,and that nothing from the purchase agreement has been removed from the home.Once you and the buyer have agreed on terms, a salesagreement is signed and your home is officially under contract.

TOP 5 WAYSto Prep Your Home to Sell Fast705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com | taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377START WITH THE RIGHT PRICEHomes that are priced strategically from the beginning are much morelikely to sell faster than those that are priced too high for the market. Comparing similar homes in your area that have sold and that are currentlyfor sale will help determine a fair market price to list your home. MAKE HOME MAINTENANCE A PRIORITYPreparing to sell often requires putting some money and work into yourhome. When buyers see repairs that need to be done, they start lookingfor what else could be wrong with the house. This could cost youthousands off your asking price or even risk losing the sale. Beingproactive and completing home repairs before listing will help selling gosmoother and quicker. You can even have a pre-listing inspection done ifyou want to avoid the possibility of surprises later on.DEPERSONALIZE & MINIMALIZETo make your home feel more spacious, try to minimize as much of yourbelongings as possible. No clutter around the house lets buyers see yourhouse and not your things. They need to be able to picture your home astheir own, so put away the family photographs. Evaluate what you canpotentially live without for the next several months and start packing. It allneeds to be packed anyway, so you might as well get a head start!CLEAN, CLEAN & THEN CLEAN SOME MOREEveryone loves a clean home, so clean yours like you've never cleanedbefore! Show your home at its best with a spotless kitchen, super cleanbathrooms, and shiny floors. You don't have to live like a clean freakforever, but buyers are sure to appreciate your efforts!BE READY & WILLING TO SHOWShowing your home is an important part of the selling process, and beingaccommodating to showing requests will increase the likelihood of findinga buyer. Keep you home as "show ready" as possible at all times so that youcan quickly tidy up on short notice and leave your home (taking your petswith you) before the potential buyers arrive.12345
**The information provided above is of a general nature and should not be considered legal advice. Every transaction orcircumstance is unique, and obtaining specific legal advice is necessary to address your particular requirements. Therefore, if youhave any legal questions, it is recommended that you consult with a lawyer.A seller has an obligation to disclose certain information to a buyer in the context of a real estatetransaction. With respect to defects, the extent of the seller’s obligation to disclose information tothe buyer will depend on whether the defect is patent (obvious or visually observable) or latent(hidden or not visually observable).A patent defect is an obvious flaw that would be discovered by a reasonably prudent buyerwithout disrupting the property (i.e. a crack on the side of the home, a hole in the wall). It is avisually observable defect. A seller has no obligation to bring patent defects to the attention of abuyer but must not take steps to deliberately hide such defects. As such, a buyer assumes the riskof a defect which was visually observable. This means that it is the buyer’s responsibility toexamine the property and discover patent defects.A latent defect, on the other hand, is one that is hidden and not readily apparent to a buyer upona reasonable inspection (i.e. a leaky foundation, covered electrical or plumbing). Being that latentdefects are not visually observable during an ordinary inspection, a seller may not be aware oftheir existence. A seller cannot be held liable for an unknown latent defect or for a defect thatdeveloped after the closing of a transaction. However, if a seller is aware of a latent defect, theseller must disclose such a defect to the buyer.In Ontario, a buyer has two years from the day on which a latent defect was discovered tocommence a lawsuit against the seller. This two year period starts to run on the day on whichthe buyer first knew of the defect or on the day on which a reasonable person with the abilitiesand in the circumstances of the buyer would have become aware of the defect. A buyer will,however, lose all legal recourse if the buyer commences a lawsuit for a defect after the 15thanniversary of the day on which the seller should have disclosed the defect to the buyer,regardless of the date on which the buyer discovered the defect.When a latent defect is discovered by a buyer, there is often a presumption against the sellerthat the seller knew about the latent defect. As such, the seller is required to show that he/shecould not possibly have known of the defect, rather than the buyer having to show that theseller knew about the defect. However, if it can be shown that the seller could not have knownabout the defect and was not willfully blind to the existence of the defect, then the buyer’sclaim will not succeed.Sell with ConfidenceWhat is a patent defect vs a latent defect?PRO TIP*705.731.9802 | tdibranou@gmail.com| taradrealtor.ca | Text: tarasoldit to 85377
