HOME PRESENTATION
Having your home listed by selecting a dependable REALTOR may seem to be the only crucial step to having your property sold, you may think, but in order to have a successful transaction there are actually details that can be taken on as a homeowner. Help to increase the number of interested buyers and decrease the length of time placed on the market by following these tips. One important factor that come into play is home presentation. Generally, a buyer would be reviewing a few properties at the same impression of your property is vital. Create the best environment possible for them to imagine making your property their next new home! We have spoken to a few professional home staging consultants and photographers and here are some important tips they have mentioned. Lets work from the outside in and go through the experience step by step! As your guests initially arrive they will travel down the street towards the house and at that moment they are already speculating the environment. ( If this is a condo you could still take the same approach and see where you may improve the environment). Roadside collections and Rubbish Make sure all garbage is clear and out of sight to ensure that the street does not smell like garbage. Clear the weed off the sidewalk and all clutter. Entrance and Yard Many people overlook small details like keeping their lawn clear of ornaments of personal taste or passed seasonal decorations. You want to make sure its all gone to give off a brand new feeling to the buyers and not a place that has been worn in. Instead add potted plants that can liven the yard and make it inviting. Everyone has a different taste so it is better to keep everything subtle and neutral. Another minor detail that is commonly overlooked is the house number plate that is on your door or gate. Do a quick wipe and make sure its shining like brand new when your guests arrive! Front Door Entrance to the house or condo should be clear and spacious; remove any clutter including shoes, jackets or mail and remove all small rugs or mats. Setting Up Inside Mirrors can play a very useful part in creating space and shining light in darker parts of the property. Place mirrors at the end of long hallways to create space and make sure you have all the lights on, including stove lights. Open all curtains and get rid of curtains that are too heavy; heavy

HARBOURWEST MAGAZINE 2013 SUMMER/AUTUMN

PAGE 5

window coverings can make a room feel dark and cluttered. The decor inside should have nothing too personal, like family photos or personal taste of ornaments. All clutter should be kept away but leave out typical home items to help give ideas of the space for the buyers imagination. Pets and Odours The sense of smell can change an entire experience so be sure to have all garbage taken out, dirty clothes cleaned and no trace of food left out. If there are pets, strong spices, or cigarettes in the home, deodorize the property by removing all traces for a few days. Use essential oils to take out the smell , wipe down all walls and possibly wash all curtains. All pet belongings and the pet itself should be kept away on the showing. Strong food spices or foods should not be in the house during that time as well. into everything so make sure clothes have been thoroughly washed, deodorize fabric couches and have carpets professionally cleaned. By keeping windows open at the time of showing it will help eliminate lingering odours. Private Spaces Your private spaces like the bedroom and bathroom should not appear as if you are still personally living in. Imagine when you are viewing a showroom and take that experience into consideration when you are organizing these spaces. No personal objects or belongings should be in sight and cleanliness is generally overlooked. When you have lived in a space for a time your eyes are accustom to the space and may miss out on small messes that others may notice right away. Make sure a thorough clean of the should be fresh and dry with all products put away; toilet seats are kept down. Once again, keep to neutral colours in the decor. The bed usually is the centre piece in the bedroom so setting the bed with nice throw pillows and duvet covers can really make the room more attractive. Having a smaller bed in the room can also visually make the room larger.

Documents Other than ensuring everything is visually pleasing and refreshing a bit of paper work can also be offered. The buyers will usually have many questions so if you had already placed in some effort to answer them ahead of time they can utilize more time imagining how they can live in your property. Documents on nearby schools, community centre or the general neighbourhood is a great thing for families to know. History on renovations of the property, pest documentation, approvals for further development will all speed up the whole thinking process on a purchaser. Finally give your buyers space and be scarce in the environment so they can take their time. Chances are the more comfortable they become in the space, the more likely they can really start imagining taking it up as their new home! So good luck on your next property listing and be sure to consult with a REALTOR in taking the right steps. All this effort will make a difference in your process of selling a home!

RentYVR: Well, because we operate on both sides of landlord and tenant services we are able to simply match a new listing with prospective tenants from our database and therefore our turnover time is immediate. Each of our corporate clients has provided a list of needs and we match those with prospective landlords properties. HW: So, what are the horror stories of this industry? RentYVR: Thankfully we have operated without any horror stories, however, the landlords we have worked with have told us about their experiences in the past including identity theft, willful damage, and even as far as one tenant posing as the landlord and collecting several security deposits before abandoning the property. Property Managers provide a safeguard against some of those things with thorough background & credit checks that landlords may not have time to do. Lets face it: These owners are investors and they have other businesses and careers. How much time do they really want to spend on servicing their tenancies? All we do is property management.

to Vancouver BC, Canada. My family took residence in Coal Harbour, which was then in its early stage of development. As a young boy I remembered playing amongst the train tracks that bordered the waterfront at that time. Through the years I witnessed the remarkable transformation that Coal Harbour experienced in becoming the gem it is today. In 2008, while completing my post secondary education I also become a realtor in this neighbourhood and had begun to accumulate the real estate industry knowledge and experience. Once I had completed my education I decided to immerse myself whole-heartedly into the dynamic real estate market of Coal Harbour. To show my commitment and strong belief in this neighbourhood I decided to establish Kanavero Real Estate Group. Kanavero Real Estate Group is the embodiment of a vision that I formulated through the years of living and breathing real estate. My vision for Kanavero Real Estate Group is to commit to the highest level of client care and pioneer innovative marketing strategies. and serve our clients better but ultimately be a meeting place where ideas are openly exchanged and explored. It is our pleasure to assist clients in the comfort of our artistically deand neighbours come by to join us for cup of tea. Our idea of customer care is to not only be able to provide services but also provide a genuine environment where real conversations take place and solid bonds are made. Our company and team value these genuine relationships and that intent is consistent in the way we treat all our clients, friends and neighbours.

THE RE/MAX COLLECTION

In the past month Kanavero Real Estate Group featured a property with RE/MAX Collection. This prestigious property found at ICON 1, by Concord listed at $1,588,000.00 Lets take a look at what makes this a RE/MAX Collection property and the special features that this condo offers. First off, this condo is a corner unit that has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath with 1,560 sqft of living space, equipped with A/C System and gas hookup on the patio.. Generally speaking condos in downtown to have 3 bedrooms and 5% would have an A/C System integrated in the unit. With this in mind, on top of it all the living space is seemingly large in comparison of dollars per square feet with a condo found in Coal Harbour. When taking all those factors into consideration this condo is sitting at a good price point with all that it offers. We then look at one great feature that this unit owns, a 270 degree view of city and water. This amazing unobstructed view can be enjoyed throughout the entire condo putting you on top of the world. The condo looks over English Bay, False Creek, UBC. The features and lifestyle this condo offers is undoubtedly luxurious. Every detail has been well thought through including the convenience of a gas hook up to set your next summer BBQ party on the large patio while enjoying the beautiful view. And, inevitably, the right amenities to encourage healthy living ; 80 ft long indoor swimming pool, gym facility, and a mini outdoor putting course. This condo part of the RE/MAX Collection and our list of Quality Purchase.

PRIDE PARADE 2013

One of this summers most nitely the pride parade. The streets were all packed and lined up with participants that had already set up from earlier in the day. Everyone was cheering and dancing or just observing the colourful celebration going down Robson and Davie. Music was blasting, water was spraying and different themed cars drove down carrying dancers or performers in costume. The parade really captured everyones joyful spirit to let loose and enjoy the moment. As we went down the busy street along with the parade many were dressed up for the parade in costume, face paint, beads or anything that carried the colours of the rainbow! Shops along the way were making it a good opportunity to share their prized products - mainly dog treats for the little guys. The parade ended at Sunset Beach where a big stage was set up with performances and many other businesses had set up tents celebrating the cause. Everyone enjoyed pictures with models and souvenirs that were passed out by all the vendors! The sun was shining and it was hot! The it hotter. Kudos to the patrons and we look forward to seeing this beautiful parade again next year!
