Another service I provide at no extra charge to my clients. VIDEO
This is the best way to showcase your house. 85% of buyers look at the internet to find their home.
This is a very pleasant way to view a home compare to just looking at a few still photos. The video allows me to show and mention to the potential buyer the lay-out and the special features your house offers.
As a seller, you'll appreciate having great internet exposure. The listing video will be on many websites: on our new "Coldwell Banker OnLocation" at www.youtube.com/coldwellbanker, on my Homepage at www.nicolepretty.com , on Coldwell Banker at www.coldwellbanker.ca, on YouTube at www.youtube.com, on REALTOR (MLS) www.REALTOR.ca, etc...
I've just started to make these videos (movies). To view my first video, 67 Sherman Drive, go back to my homepage. I'm getting familiar with my new camcorder so the following videos will be clearer and my voice will be adjusted better.
Contact me to learn more about this great new marketing tool at 905-935-8001 or direct at 905-329-2773.

HARMONIZATION OF SALES TAX
Call for Action
Harmonization of Sales Tax
On March 26th, 2009, the McGuinty government announced its intention to harmonize the goods and services tax with the provincial sales tax.
As a result of this change, provincial sales tax will now be levied on legal fees, appraisals, real estate commissions, home inspection fees and other services related to a real estate transaction.
OREA believes that this tax grab will severely hurt the resale housing market and reduce affordability for Ontarians trying to buy a home.
We encourage all OREA members and their clients to write their MPP to express their outrage at these new taxes and to tell them how badly they will hurt the real estate market in your area.

MANDATORY HOME ENERGY AUDITS
Call for Action
Mandatory Home Energy Audits
We need your help.
The Ontario Real Estate Association is urging the provincial government to amend Bill 150, the Green Energy Act, to make home energy audits voluntary.
Mandatory home energy audit reports can cost home sellers thousands of dollars in lost home equity. Those with less than ideal energy audit ratings will face pressure from homebuyers to either spend thousands of dollars to improve the energy rating of their home or lower their sale price.
Your e-mail will reinforce the message OREA will be sending to the Government of Ontario when we appear before the Standing Committee on General Government on April 22nd.
Please tell your MPP that the government should be helping Ontarians achieve their dream of homeownership by amending Bill 150 to make home energy audits voluntary.

MORTGAGE RATES
Mortgage rates as of April 9, 2009 are phenomenal.I received a breakdown sheet from one of the Mortgage Broker I recommend for my clients. You can get a 5 year closed residential mortgage for as low as 3.75%! Yes! 5 year closed! Of course, conditions apply like the standing of your credit, how much you will put down for down payment,...
Not ready to buy now? Maybe in 3 months? Don't wait to be "pre-approved". Even though you're not buying now, by getting pre-approve now, at a low rate, for example 3.75% , it guarantees you this rate for 90-120 days depending on which institute you get pre-approved with. This means, if you're pre-approved for this rate, if the rate should go up next week or next month to lets say 4.25%, you are guaranteed the 3.75%. Mortgage institutes varies with rates and conditions. And, mortgage rates changes regularly so don't wait any longer!
If you'd like more info or guidance on mortgage rates, contact me and I'll do my very best to answer all your questions.
