F O C U S #MondayMotivation

As we approach the new year, it's a great time to FOCUS on what we want for our future. What’s your word of the year or goal for 2021? Try to only pick one!

Welcome to our new weekly series that highlights the essential parts of a real estate transaction, along with how we approach each piece of the puzzle. This month, we'll be highlighting the selling experience and what you'll need to consider on your journey to SOLD. First up, pricing. Pricing it right is a key factor in finding the right buyer for anything, especially one of the largest transactions of your lifetime - your property! Information is key to determining a numbe...r that you're not only comfortable with, but that also aligns with market expectations. Sell the way that suits you best. https://propertyguys.com/sell

Staging Tip Scale: Furniture that dominates space can be visually (and physically) overwhelming. Anything too big should be moved into storage or complemented by smaller accent pieces to create a sense of balance. #TipTuesday

With the holidays looking very different this year for most of us, we're letting our minds wander. From a house full of family and friends to a couples' retreat on the beach - what does your dream holiday vacation look like? Here's hoping that dream comes true next year!

#TipTuesday - Snow Thank You With showing requests possible at any time, try to stay on top of the clearing (and salting!) of all drive and walkways outside of your home. Nothing will lower the excitement for a potential buyer faster than if they’re forced to shuffle-skate to your front door!

Today we are throwing it back to February (which feels like a lifetime ago) when we were face-to-face with our entire PropertyGuys.com family in Canmore, AB. We were able to attend our national conference just a couple of weeks before the pandemic. We are SO grateful for this time together earlier this year, especially since weve already moved our 2021 conference to a virtual event. Until we can hug again, guys!

Do you ever avoid tasks for weeks or months that would realistically take less than 15 minutes to complete? We can relate! Lets cross those off once and for all before the fall! Fill in the blank

Ah, the age-old office debate - whats your favourite season?

#TipTuesday: The "Go" Bag Selling your home with kids to keep busy can be stressful, so its best to be as prepared as possible in advance. Have a bag by the door and fill it with: snacks, water, crafts and toys to keep the little ones occupied while your home is being shown to potential buyers.

Depending on the heat, this seems like a no-brainer - but homeownership with a pool does come with additional maintenance. What do you think?

Help us out - whats the worst part about moving? Packing? Lifting? Unpacking? Switching your services and address? Let us know below!

#TipTuesday: Every room should have a purpose. If your home has a spare room or two, try to make the best possible use out of them by showing potential buyers what they could be. Ensure any spaces youve used to store odds & ends (AKA junk rooms) are cleaned up and cleared out before any showings. If you have to, borrow or rent furniture to create a welcoming atmosphere in otherwise empty or undefined rooms. It will pay off!

Commit to putting in the work. #MondayMotivation

Did you know? In 2007, hotelier and real estate magnate, Leona Helmsley (the Queen of Mean), passed away and left $12 million in her will to her dog, Trouble.

#TipTuesday: Clear the Cobwebs! A quick and easy rule-of-thumb when youre getting ready to put your home on the market is to LOOK UP! We can often become desensitized to certain areas of our own home but remember, your buyers are looking at your space with fresh eyes and are usually (and rightfully) going to be critical. Set some time aside to give your ceiling fans and light fixtures a little extra TLC by clearing away any cobwebs, dead bugs and grime. Theres a very good chance your buyer will also want these fixtures included in the sale, so get a head start and shine em up!

Dream big & help as many people as possible. #MondayMotivation

First-time home buyers - keep these tips handy to navigate your buying journey.

Todays #TipTuesday is all about BUYERS! When youre buying a home - youre also buying into an entire neighbourhood! If its feasible, take a drive out to the home(s) youre interested in and get a lay of the land first. Are you as close as you want to be to the local amenities? Is the local school reputable? Are the surrounding homes well taken care of? Spend some time driving around and getting a feel for the streets you will be taking every single day. If you cant do that, take a trip through the neighbourhood online by using tools such as Google Streetview or Google Earth to map things out. You may be surprised by how much time you can save and how many homes you can eliminate off of your list by using this method.

If you have the day off today, we hope youre taking advantage of recharging your batteries. Rest is just as important as hard work. #MondayMotivation

What is one thing you wish your current property had? #QOTD

#TipTuesday: Keep it fresh We spend a lot of time in our homes and therefore we can become desensitized (i.e. nose blind) to its old, familiar scent. The last thing you want is for your buyer to be turned off as soon as they walk through your door by an overwhelming smell they arent used to. Its always a good idea to take some extra time before putting your home on the market to eliminate or clean out anything that may be causing unpleasant smells like wash bins/drains, carpets and pet accessories. Open your windows as often as possible to allow fresh air in and try filling your home with natural fragrances such as fresh flowers or brewed coffee before showings.

Find balance. #MondayMotivation

DID YOU KNOW?! Billionaire, Warren Buffett, still lives in the same home he bought in 1958. A property that he paid just $31,500 for at the time.

#TipTuesday: Tighten Up The smallest details of your home can actually leave the biggest impression on your buyer. Do a quick room-to-room check to ensure that the knobs on all doors, closets and cupboards are securely fastened. Double-check that all outlets have proper, clean covers and that all lightbulbs are in working order. Having everything running smoothly before your first showing will let your buyers know that your home has been well taken care of.

Be conscious of the things you tell yourself. #MondayMotivation
