Why Do I Need A Realtor?

Real estate is not rocket science, in fact in some respects of selling real estate is simple. There is however a big difference between simple and easy. Someone once told me many years ago that skydiving is simple. It's just a matter of falling. Yes it is simple, but it is not easy. Would you skydive without some instruction and training? Not likely.   Same with buying and selling your home. Yes the process can be simple. However it is anything but easy - especially in the Calgary Real Estate market we are currently experiencing. It is a Buyer's market which means selling your home requires a great deal of skill and effort.   Ultimately, a good Realtor's® greatest value comes from being able to guide you safely through the sale or purchase process. The average home owner may only purchase and sell three or four houses in a lifetime.   In the 5+ years I have been in real estate, I have closed numerous transactions representing both buyers and sel...

Federal Finance Minister is sniffing Glue?

Federal Finance Minister is sniffing Glue? http://www.calgaryherald.com/business/Finance+Minister+Flaherty+worried+about+slumping+markets+tougher/3538641/story.html#ixzz0znazxjsZ The Federal Govt have accomplished what they intended to do with changing the mortgage qualifying rules. Is this something positive or negative for Canada's economy? In any event, if you have money and a good job you can still buy a home with Seller Financing. What is Seller Financing? Lets break it down: Key Elements of Seller Financing: 1.Seller acts as the bank for the Buyer, so the Buyer does not have to get a bank mortgage!. THIS MEANS NO BANK QUALIYING! 2. Title and mortgage stay in the Seller’s name. the Buyer registers a caveat on title, to show their interest in the property 3. Buyer and the Seller agree on Down Payment, Purchase Price, and any other Terms the Buyer makes Mortgage payments to the Seller each month, either until the Mortgage is paid off, or until your agr...

How To Stop Foreclosure!

How To Stop Foreclosure! My name is Denis Hrstic. I am a real estate professional and I can share with you how to save your home and / or your credit. I have helped many homeowners to avoid foreclosure... here is a few options available to everyone: Creative Financing Options! Sometimes, conventional/normal-refinancing channels (banks, credit unions, mortgage brokers) just won't work out for some reason or another. Now I’m going to quickly take you through some various "creative financing" options. Take note of the different alternatives to saving your home or credit utilizing these strategies! 1. Equity Sharing - partner(s) put up part of required cash to cure foreclosure - partner(s) pay part of monthly payment - partner(s) get some percentage of ownership - partner(s) get their money out at refinancing or sale down the road 2. Private Mortgage Lenders - pool of private investors - they loan money to poor credit buyers, although at high rates - can be refinanced when cr...

Open House: Denis Hrstic Sat Aug 28, 2010

OPEN HOUSE SAT AND SUNDAY 14015 PARKLAND BLVD SE. 12 pm to 4pm Both Days. I am here and the house is beautiful. Fantastic renovations, upgrades everywhere, incredible use of space - the full package!!  These owners really know how to renovate and pay attention to details and design. Two people already came by and really like the house. So is this market going to turn around? I think spring 2011 will be a turnaround in Real Estate. that doesn't mean we should expect escalating appreciation and piranha like activity. I just mean it will take until then that buyers get accustomed to the Mortgage changes and qualifying. Now can you still buy a house if you cant Qualify today?? The answer is YES and I specialize in NO QUALIFYING DEALS. You are probably asking yourself - what does that mean? The answer is simple -- there are certain homes available to you in this market where the seller will carry financing on the house and therefore you do not have to get a conventional bank mor...
