Homeward Bound Newsletter – February 2022
Feb 1, 2022 / Real Estate Newsletter

It doesn’t matter your ‘religious persuasion’ to say “yea, that IS a great description of LOVE”. I am talking LOVE because February is the Love month, rightly celebrated with Valentine’s Day.
I could go on with all kinds of examples like – Love Your Neighbour as Yourself, even go all business on you with accolades about how much we love doing business with you, or how much we love your referrals and more – but, the point is we do love helping people sell and buy real estate. And those people say we are good it!
In fact, if it’s OK with you, let me focus just a bit on the REFERRAL request.
Please know that my team and I are eager to help anyone you know wanting to make a move so much so that we are willing to make an offer that they will LOVE.
HAVING PEACE OF MIND AND GETTING TOP DOLLAR FOR YOUR HOME. EXPERIENCE COUNTS!
As a result of working with over 10,000 families over a 35-year time span and through three documented recessions, we have developed a special market-proof program to quickly get an acceptable “cash” offer on any home for market value. So, we are giving Home Owners wanting to make a move a very special gift this holiday season.
OUR GUARANTEE to you, your friends and family— For the month of January, anyone you know wanting to sell their house, I will guarantee the sell of their home for 100% of Market Value or I’ll Pay the Difference.*
We just need to agree on the price and possession date with the seller.
This is where you can help!
If you or anyone you know is considering making a move, we would like to offer them a FREE No Obligation Market Analysis that will give them a real idea of what they can expect to sell their home for.
Just like we are thankful for you and your business, I am confident your referrals will be thanking you for steering them in the right direction on getting their home sold!!!
If you or a friend are thinking about selling, make sure to choose a real estate company you can trust!

A real estate company with experience, proven results and a give-back philosophy!


So, YOUR REFERRALS DO REALLY HELP THE KIDS…
Who do you know considering buying or selling a home you could refer to our real estate sales team? Not only will they benefit from our award-winning real estate service, a very worthy cause will benefit as well. To refer anyone considering buying or selling a home contact Lino Arci or pass Lino Arci’s contact info on to them! Thank you in advance for your referrals!
Over the decades of helping thousands and thousands of families sell or buy the place they call home, we have met so many wonderful, loving, caring people. We are so grateful. Thank you for reading over this months Homeward Bound, and thank you for referring anyone you know considering buying or selling to my team.

Why I Give to SickKid’s Hospital of Toronto:
I grew up right here in Toronto. Born right downtown at St. Michael’s Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Sick Kids Hospital of Toronto. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Toronto area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way.
Being in the Toronto area, an Ontario native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can the good work these people do at Sick Kids Hospital of Toronto. My team rally’s around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Sick Kids Hospital of Toronto in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding
results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Sick Kids Hospital of Toronto shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
I encourage you to visit their website at www.sickkids.ca and check out how they are making a difference in the lives of children and their families!

How To Buy A Home
Jan 20, 2022 / Buying
The real estate market still has a pulse. And with such low-interest rates, it’s quite a strong one.
So, how are homebuyers buying-now? You’re starting to think about becoming a homeowner in 2022 and you likely have lots of questions about how to buy a home in Vaughan, from “How do you buy a home?” to specific queries around financing, home type and location, to how to make and negotiate an offer. To help simplify what can be a complicated process, we’ve outlined how to buy a home in 5 steps.
Here are some tips to set your sighs back on that dream home.
✅ Consult with your Lino Arci Team Agent
A home is a huge investment, so work with a realtor that’s knowledgeable, professional and responsive. Treat your search for the right agent like a job interview. You can now have a meeting over Zoom with a few different agents, ask lots of questions, check references, and check reviews!
✅ Organize Your Finances
As you already know, buying a home is going to be expensive. Knowing exactly how much it will cost and how much you can spend is a crucial step in making a wise investment. Consider your lifestyle, your income and any current debts you’re carrying. Are you secure in your employment? Are you planning any major life changes in the near future, such as a job change or growing your family? Be mindful of the financial impacts this could have.
Organize your finances to determine a budget and get pre-qualified or pre-approved.
✅ Virtualize The Homebuying Process
Virtualize the home buying process with digital tours and video conferences.
The Lino Arci Team has adapted to allow our buyers and sellers that need to buy or sell in spite of the current situation. Virtual showings, virtual tours, and virtual open houses are all options for those that are seriously interested in a home. Does this sound strange? Buying a home that you possibly viewed online? It isn’t all that unique as we have helped many clients buy homes this way for years. We have been the eyes and ears for our clients many times. We are committed to finding solutions to whatever challenges that we are experiencing to get our clients results.
Here is how the Virtual Homebuying Process works:
- 1. Virtual Appointment
We will schedule a virtual appointment on Zoom to do our buyer consultation focusing on your needs and goals. The ideal consultation will allow us to get a clear picture of your dream home, discuss the process and explain our proven process.
- 2. Home Suggestions
Together we will select homes that match your criteria for your review. We will select the homes that you are interested in seeing.
- 3. Virtual Tours
We can do a tour of the best-fit homes either with a virtual showing or a recorded video depending on your needs. If possible, a virtual showing is ideal so you can ask questions about the home. We can provide tours on all homes that you are interested in too. See virtual tours on our listings.
- 4. Electronic Offer
We will prepare the offer for you so that you will be able to sign all the documents electronically in the comfort of your home. We can do a Zoom video to review with you too.
- 5. Earnest Money Deposit
You can either wire your earnest money deposit or we can also pick up your cheque without contact!
- 6. Inspection
The inspector will perform the inspection with a report of detailed photos and descriptions for your review.
- 7. Closing Day
The walkthrough will be performed with proper social distancing. You can close with a mobile notary at your home if preferred.
Your goals and safety matters to us. We know how to handle a virtual showing.
✅ Invest
Invest in safety supplies (booties, masks, hand sanitizer) for individual home showings.
✅ Our Buy Back Guarantee
The last thing you want is to purchase a piece of property, only to find that you’re less-than-thrilled with it afterwards.
That’s why we offer our Buy Back Guarantee (also known as our Love It or Leave It Guarantee). If you’re not over the moon about a home you’ve bought with us, we’ll buy it back with a cash offer (so long as your purchase happened within the last year). Alternatively, we can help you sell it, free of charge.
We hope this home buying checklist helps. If you still have questions about how to buy a home, or you’re ready to start the process, tap into the knowledge and experience of a Lino Arci Team Agent, who will guide you through the process every step of the way!

Don’t Just Build. Build with confidence!
Jan 11, 2022 / Buying
A home is the biggest transaction most of us will ever make. That’s why it’s important to work with an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent.
The benefit to buying brand new is that no one else has ever lived in the home. And because the home hasn’t been built yet, you’ll have the opportunity to customize it to your preferences. But you have to ask yourself if all of these things are maybe a little too good to be true when buying a home? If pre-construction is something you’ve been considering, here’s are the things you need to consider to help you decide if it really is for you.

A RE/MAX Agent will be there to:
#1 – Make sure your paperwork is filed correctly
Before a builder can put a shovel in the ground, local government must approve the design and provide permits for everything from the zoning and grading (changing the contour of the land to accommodate your home and driveway) to the septic systems, home construction, electrical work, and plumbing. Once permits are acquired, physical construction can begin.
#2 – Assist decisions regarding plan modifications
Real estate agents can help narrow down which type of new construction is the best fit. Whether it’s wanting a home with more energy-efficient features, longer warranties on appliances, or an open-concept floor plan, there are plenty of reasons why consumers desire a clean slate.
Despite the home being brand new, a buyer’s agent will still insist on a home inspection to save the buyer from untimely repairs. Having seen scores of homes throughout their career, the agent will have a sharp eye for detecting issues.
#3 – Negotiate and advocate on your behalf
The idea of a customized, new residential construction house or condo is enticing to some prospective homeowners, but the process to get there can be grueling. Working with a Lino Arci Team Agent along the way can help ensure you negotiate the best price possible and avoid setbacks.
There are advantages to working with an agent who is focused solely on the buyer’s side of the transaction, including being able to go to bat for the buyer’s specific needs without having to worry about also representing the home builder. And when navigating new construction, the client’s voice needs to be heard.
#4 – Educate you about the facts on lot location and the surrounding community
It is important that you ask your real estate agent to help you prepare for and understand your new home’s construction, the typical steps your builder will take during the construction of a new home, and will help keep you abreast of what happens at key stages.

In times of uncertainty, it can be comforting to align with a professional real estate agent who has time-backed experience with all types of residential sales and specializes in new-home construction.
