Sales Tip Sunday - "When shopping for homes you should never feel "pressured" to make a decision. Houses list for sale every single day. If something doesn't "feel" right about the home or bothers you even a little, that "thing" will likely be the very same reason you will want to sell the home a few years down the road. Much like human interactions once you find "the one" you will know it with complete certainty, and can then move forward without any hesitation. Never settle and trust your instincts. Your perfect home is out there waiting for you to discover it, and once you do, we will handle the rest. - Ammoree Amankwah

Sales Tip Sunday! - When buying a home, take your time picking the right Realtor first. Then if you have done that correctly, your experience should never feel rushed or be pushed into something you aren’t sure you want. The right agent will guide you through the process smoothly and effortlessly. They will have listened to your needs. You won’t get frustrated, because they are showing you the homes you want to see. Not the ones you don’t. When you find something you love, then they will talk to you about pros and cons of that specific property. For down the road when you try to resell that property, if there are any cons, you might just want to know about them prior to listing the home, in 5 to 7 years from now. Some agents care like it’s their own investment. - Jeremy Campbell

Sales tip Sunday! - When selling your home, it's a good idea to have your RPR ordered and stamped with compliance by the municipality early. If you wait until an offer comes in and the buyers have a quicker closing date, any surprises found during the survey such as encroachments can delay closing with the lawyers and could end up costing you money! - Ryan Torris
