How to Deal with a Low-Ball Offer

If you take care to price your home correctly — that is, at a price that is in

line with what similar properties in the area have sold for recently — then
you have a good chance of selling it at or near your asking price.
That doesn’t mean you won’t get a low-ball offer. You might. So what do you
do when that happens?

First, understand that the buyer may not necessarily be trying to steal away your home at a bargain-basement price. He might simply be mistaken about its true market value. Of course, he might also be coming in at a low price in the hopes he’ll get lucky.

You will never actually know the buyer’s motives. So it would be a mistake to get angry or dismiss the offer out-of-hand. That low-ball offer might end up being the beginning of a negotiation that results in you selling your home at a good price.

Your first step is to work with us to determine:

• How serious the buyer is.

• How qualified the buyer is. (For example, does he have a pre approved
mortgage?)
• How amenable the buyer is to a counter-offer that reflects the true
market value of your home.
• What that counter-offer should be.

This isn’t an easy process. It takes knowledge and experience to get it right.

That’s why working with us is essential.  We have the knowledge and experience to get you the best possible price for you home with the least amount of stress!

Do You Have Recalled Products in Your Home?

Do You Have “Recalled” Products in Your Home?

You’ve no doubt noticed the occasional news report about a product being

recalled for safety reasons. For example, a car model with a brake problem,

or a children’s toy that, under some circumstances, may cause injury.

You may not know that these news reports are merely the tip of the iceberg.

For each product recall you hear about in the media, there are dozens that

get little, if any, publicity.

That means there may be products in your home that have been recalled —

and you don’t even know about it. It’s a scary thought.

How do you find out about recalled products that may affect you? Here are

two tips.

1. Always complete the registration that comes with many products.

This is typically done by mailing in a registration card or filling out an

online form. When you register, you’ll be alerted by the manufacturer

if the product is recalled for any reason.

2. Both Canada and the United States have agencies that list recalled

products on their websites. In Canada it’s the Healthy Canadians

website at www.healthycanadians.gc.ca. In the United States it’s the

Consumer Product Safety Commission at www.CPSP.gov.  It’s a good habit 

to check these sites every season.

If you discover that a product in your home has been recalled, contact the

manufacturer immediately. Never assume that the reason for the recall

won't apply to you.

Always put the safety of you and your family first!
