Are You Hiring a Home Inspector For Your Purchase?

While an Inspector may not find every single issue in every single home they inspect, a qualified Inspector is a very important part of your real estate transaction.  It can also sometimes be helpful to have your home pre-inspected prior to putting in on the market so that potential buyers feel even more confident about your property. At the Bettina Reid Group we can help you through the process of finding a qualified Inspector to suit your needs.

TD bank opens for Sunday business starting tomorrow

The face of banking in Canada changes tomorrow as TD Canada Trust opens for business on Sundays. In over 90 communities across Canada there will be over 300 branches open from 12pm - 4pm. To find a location near you click on the link:
www.tdcanadatrust.com

Little did I know that CIBC has been offering this service for 3 yrs now but on a much smaller scale with only 48 locations in 30 communities. I think there will be a much greater impact on banking with TD being open Sundays.

Choosing an Agent ...

Kara - http://www.ehow.com/how_6293280_choose-good-real-estate-agent.html      Some really great things to consider. Have a read

I really enjoyed this article because I truly feel that the person you are using to aid in the purchase or sale of your home or future home should be competent and confident in their abilities to do their job.

There are a ton of good Realtors out there but for every good one there is a not so great one and its difficult to squash the bad reputation that they (the not so great ones) perpetuate and contribute to.

If as a consumer you are better educated in making a decision and are able to pick a Realtor who is committed to making the experience of buying or selling, not only clear and comfortable but protect your interests in the process there would be less mistakes resulting in a bad experience, which in turn helps not only you but our reputations as Realtors.

There is more to the process of buying and selling a home and The Bettina Reid Group takes this very serious and is committed to making sure we do our jobs and we do them right.

As I said before this article is great and its worth the read.

Cheers!
