Are you a home buyer or seller with a question?
- I want to sell a rental property I own. What are the responsibilities of a real estate salesperson who is helping me with the sale?
- What are “terms and conditions” in a real estate offer? Are they two different things?
- What do I need to know about putting in an offer on an estate sale?
- I’m a tenant in a house that’s being sold. Now that many COVID-related restrictions have been lifted, how can I ensure that showings are still being done as safely as possible?
- Now that Ontario is gradually relaxing its COVID-19 restrictions, does this mean we will go back to how we used to buy or sell a home?
- I’m contemplating selling my home by myself instead of working with a real estate professional. What do I need to consider before making this decision?
- I am thinking of buying a home and I keep hearing advice that I should look for a property that “meets my needs.” What does this really mean?
- My spouse and I are both seniors. We’re preparing to sell our home but have not sold a property in quite a few years. What advice do you have to help our sale go smoothly?
