Testimonials

Stuart Park
Oh my goodness Peter, how wonderful of you to write such a beautiful, personable reference for me! This really did have a huge emotional impact as I read and re-read it. I continue to be very grateful to you and your wonderful team. I had to take a moment after I had read these beautiful words, to appreciate your kindness. I am absolutely humbled. Michelle – you have restored in me the simple fact that there are people in this community that see and get the ‘bigger’ picture – and that kindness and respect go a very long way. I continue to be ever grateful and look forward to the time when I get to rent another property with you and your team. With much respect always. Kimberley, former tenant, Stuart Park.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, almost everything in real estate is negotiable. Typically, there is a difference between a home’s list price and how much it actually sells for. The current market’s saturation will determine how much wiggle room there is for negotiation. If you’re on the buyer’s side, expect the house to be able to be purchased for less if there is a lower demand than supply in the market. Vice versa, if you’re on the seller’s side expect it to usually sell for less. That being said, you never know who else is house hunting. Sometimes people will swoop in and offer the exact asking price.
A mortgage is a type of loan to finance a property. The majority of people are not wealthy enough to purchase a house in total. Thus, a mortgage serves as a secure loan that comes with a fixed interest rate and gets paid off over 15 or 30 years. If need be, your client can refinance their mortgage and payments in the future.
The selling price of a house fluctuates depending on multiple factors. The most common ones are the neighborhood and what similar-sized houses are currently selling for. Also, look at the age and condition. Do major repairs need to be done? If so, that might lower the property. And again, the market matters. Like everything else, home prices vary depending on supply and demand. Your job as a realtor is to best inform your clients about these different factors and accurately list their house.
