Multiple Offers On Your Home!

Dealing with multiple offers

You may think that having to deal with multiple offers on your home is a wonderful problem. After all, there are so many buyers clamoring to purchase your property!

The challenge, however, is picking the best offer – and that isn't always the one with the highest price.

Most offers come with conditions, such as "conditional on securing appropriate financing" or "conditional on the sale of our current property." You have to consider both the price and the conditions when choosing

which offer to accept.

There are other considerations, too. What if someone makes a great offer on your home, but they don't have a pre-approved mortgage and they haven’t put their current home on the market? That kind of offer is risky

because it is more likely than an unconditional offer to fall through. So there's a lot to think about when you're in the seemingly enviable position of dealing with multiple offers.

How do you select the right one? The answer is to have a good REALTOR® by your side to help you make the right decision!

How to Hire a Good Interior Designer

                                  How to Hire a Good Interior Designer

What is interior design? As the name implies, it's all about designing a living

area – such as a bathroom or basement – while taking into account your

needs, tastes, and budget, as well as the characteristics of the space itself.

If you've ever sketched out an idea for a renovation – to add a wall, install

hardwood floors, or paint – then you've done interior design, as least at an

amateur level. Home improvement contractors, when they make

suggestions about how to renovate a room, are also acting as interior

designers.

According to the Association of Registered Interior Designers, "Interior

Designers will analyze your needs and budget, prepare and present

conceptual solutions and then manage the implementation of the project."

Although hiring an interior designer may seem like a luxury for many

homeowners, it can actually be quite affordable. Plus, consider that your

interior designer can manage your project from concept and design all the

way through to a finished renovation – including managing the renovation

work itself.

How do you find a good interior designer?

In Canada, check out Interior Designers of Canada at www.IDCanada.org.

• In the U.S., visit the American Society of Interior Designers at www.asid.org.
  Both websites have search tools to find qualified registered interior designers in your area.
• A REALTOR® who is an expert in the local market can also give you a
  recommendation.

When reviewing possible interior designers, take a close look at their

portfolios, which are usually in the form of pictures of completed projects.

Consider the style of work they've done for other clients, as it is likely that’s

what you can expect for yours.

According to an article in The Epoch Times by Lloyd Princeton, it's also

important that you get along with the interior designer. You'll be working

closely with that person. If you have a gut feeling that you're not going to

like him or her, then you won't be satisfied with the result – even if the

design is actually good.

Give me a call or shoot me an email to receive client referred deals with some of the best Interior Designers in the City! :)
