Welcome to the month of April. By the time you are reading this, you will be deep into it. That means I can’t play any April Fool jokes on you. Never been a fan of those anyway. When I was a kid, my favorite radio station 96 Rock in Atlanta announced they were going to be changing formats and playing elevator music and for half the day they did that, only to announce it was a big April Fool’s Joke.

Another BIG deal in April is TAX day! Yep! Deadlines for filing those personal income tax returns. I don’t think most people mind paying taxes as long as they are being put to good use. I think it’s the waste that bothers most us citizens.

Both days I mention above are for sure conversation starters, one full of funny stories, the other maybe not so much, but there are few days more memorable than the day you buy your dream home. That day is supposed to be fun, exciting and great feeling of accomplishment.

AND remember… YOUR referrals

Why Support SickKid’s Hospital of Toronto:
Born, raised and growing up right here in Toronto I have seen many things change. I remember when it was just woods where two of the areas largest shopping malls are now, Vaughan Mills Mall and Yorkdale Mall. Most call it progress, and it is true that many have done well as the Greater Toronto Area has grown. There are however some in our community that for reasons beyond we can fully understand are experiencing real hardship. Circumstances like tragedy, loss, victim, homeless, disables, abused, hungry, gravely ill and unemployed. People with one or a combination of these hardships do exist and exist in numbers that would shock most. Thank God for the grateful people at Sick Kids Hospital.

SickKids Hospital has been leading the way in helping those in our community that need help the most. Literally, restoring HOPE to those who are living with hopelessness. 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.

When you sell your home, you will be asked to enter into a formal contract with your real estate agent. 

Known as a listing agreement, this document outlines important information about the working relationship between you, your agent, and their brokerage. These agreements are also legally binding, so before you sign on the dotted line, you’ll want to make sure you have a clear understanding of everything on it. 

First & Foremost

Be wary of handshake agreements. Regardless of how trustworthy your agent may be, a formal written agreement is the best way to ensure your interests are protected during the sale of your home. In Ontario, real estate agents will use a standardized form called the OREA 200, which is essentially a template where you and your agent will agree on the major terms and conditions of your sale.

The Important Details

Now that we’ve covered the importance of having a contract in place, let’s break down some of the clauses included in your listing agreement. While not a complete list, these are a few of the details with the largest implications on the outcome of your sale.  

Main Responsibilities 

The listing agreement will specify the responsibilities of both you and your agent. For example, you’ll be responsible for maintaining your home in good condition and allowing showings, while your agent will be responsible for marketing your home, negotiating offers, and handling paperwork.

Listing Price

In any market, selling your home quickly and for the highest return is all about setting the right asking price. After an evaluation of your home, your agent will work with you to determine the appropriate price. This agreed-upon price will be specified in the listing agreement. Your agreement should also clarify that you’ll need to sign off on any changes to this price.

Timeline

All listing agreements come with an expiry date. If your home hasn’t sold by the end of the listing period, you’ll have the option to extend the agreement or work with a different agent. Once again, this detail is typically negotiable. 

Holdover Clause

One important detail to be aware of regarding the timeline of your listing agreement is the holdover clause. This clause stipulates that if a buyer discovers your home while the listing agreement is active, but doesn’t actually purchase the home until after it has expired, you would still owe the brokerage a commission if the sale occurred during the established holdover period. The length of a holdover period is negotiable so you and your agent will need to come to an agreement on how long it will be. 

Commission

The term ‘commission’ refers to the fee that your real estate agent will receive for selling your home. This is one of the biggest costs you’ll incur as a seller. Commission rates are negotiable, however, in Ontario, they typically range between 3% and 7% (of the home’s final sale price). 

Disclosure

Your listing agreement will also include a section on disclosure, which outlines your responsibilities to disclose any known defects or issues with your home to potential buyers.

Termination Clause

It’s important to remember that your listing agreement is a binding contract. From a legal perspective, walking away from your agreement isn’t as easy as simply finding another agent to work with. 

That said, to protect the interests of you and your agent, your listing agreement will likely outline a few circumstances in which either party can terminate it. However, these clauses may require you to provide tangible evidence or make a formal case to the brokerage before you’re officially able to move on. There could also be a termination fee or similar one-time cost associated with cancellation.

With a constantly growing demand for rental housing, purchasing an investment property in the Greater Toronto Area is a smart way to grow your personal wealth. That being said, becoming a landlord does require some education and preparation.  

As Vaughan’s top-performing real estate team, we’ve helped thousands of clients with all types of goals and backgrounds, including investors and landlords. Whether you’re considering an investment in a dedicated rental property, or have recently purchased one and aren’t sure where to start – we’ve got tips for you. 

Not sure which type of property will make the best investment for you? Click here to read our blog on houses vs condos as profitable rental properties. 

Invest Strategically 

One of the biggest factors to consider in your investment is location. The location of your rental property will influence what type of tenants you attract and how much you can earn. For instance, a property that’s located close to transit, post-secondary schools, good nightlife, high-quality amenities or other perks will be much more enticing to potential tenants than one that’s further removed.  

Become Familiar with the Standard Form of Lease

In Ontario, the provincial government requires landlords to use a standardized lease contract, also known as the Residential Tenancy Agreement (RTA). When a tenant wishes to rent out your property,  this is the lease that they will need to sign. 

At the end of the day, the RTA is there to protect you and your tenants. It outlines key rights, responsibilities, and restrictions related to property use, communication, and your landlord-tenant relationship. Before beginning your tenant search, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the RTA. If you have any questions about it you can ask your real estate agent for advice.

Choose Your Tenants Carefully

When the time comes to fill your vacant property you’ll want to be very selective in choosing a tenant. A great tenant can provide you with a secure and low-stress investment, while a not-so-ideal tenant can lead to headaches, late payments, and other challenges. Finding the perfect tenant begins with an in-depth screening process. When you start receiving applications on your listing, be sure to request employment verification, a credit check, and references from their past or current landlords. While this will take a little bit of effort, it’s well worth it in the long run. 

Be Aware of the Market

Just like finding the perfect tenant, setting your rental rates also requires some due diligence. While the demand for rental housing is pushing the market value upwards, setting your price too high could cause tenants to become stretched thin in the middle of their lease – causing you to start the tenant search process all over again. On the other hand, setting the price too low will mean missing out on valuable returns in the short and long term.

During this step, a little research can go a long way. Look at other rental listings in the immediate area and see what landlords are charging for their units. However, remember to be mindful of the differences between your property and theirs. For example, if you see a unit with similar square footage to yours, but this property is located in a modern condo building with high-end on-site amenities, you may not be able to charge an identical rate. Once again, your real estate agent can help you decide what the best rent to charge will be. 

As an extension of this, be considerate of when and how you increase your tenant’s rent. Like lease agreements, rent increases are subject to restrictions under the provincial government. Currently, landlords are only allowed to increase rent once every twelve months at a maximum increase of 2.5%. You must also provide a written notice of the increase 90 days prior to it taking effect.

Keep Records of Everything 

Lastly, remember to keep detailed records of everything related to your investment property. This includes lease agreements from past and present tenants, expenses related to the property, and payment receipts. Keeping these items organized and filed will make it much easier during tax season or if you need to solve a dispute of any kind.

Spring is Springing! Yay! I just came inside from shooting a video outside and WOW! It’s nice out! Yes, I realize that when you get this and read it that it could be cold and rainy, but those cold days are just about over. Everyone loves Spring, primarily because it means… summer is near! For many across this great country though, it’s still COLD, grey, and snowy! One thing is for sure, this winter season is coming to an end. It does every year without fail.

Just like the weather seasons come and go, so do the seasons of life. Are you with me when I say that these seasons seem to come and go faster and faster, as well as time? My wife reminded me last night we have shared many years of my birthdays together. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever. But it’s the low points, those tough times, that I have learned the most from. All of the experiences through these seasons make me who I am.

So you’re thinking about becoming a real estate agent? That’s great. There’s truly no other profession in the world quite like real estate. Whether you’re helping someone find and purchase their dream home or taking away the stresses of selling, being a part of your clients’ major life milestones is nothing short of a privilege. 

If you’re transitioning from another career to one in real estate, you may be wondering how much you could potentially earn as an entry-level agent. While you should ultimately get into the business because you’re passionate about it, it is important to recognize the unique revenue model that it involves. 

Unlike other vocations, real estate agents don’t typically work on a static annual salary. Instead, income is based mostly on individual performance.

• 9 Things to Know Before Becoming a Real Estate Agent

The Truth About Real Estate 

In our 30+ years of buying and selling homes, we’ve learned a thing or two about the real estate business. As a potential agent, one thing you should know is that real estate is competitive – especially in the Greater Toronto Area. Last year the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) reported north of 70,000 agents working in the city and its surrounding communities. 

As an agent, part of your job is to stand out from the crowd to attract clients. The more clients you have, the more money you can make. However, you will ultimately be competing with thousands of other agents for their business. Depending on how you build your career, this could be a significant portion of your day-to-day. For instance, some brokerages ask their agents to do cold calls, go knocking on doors, or take on other time-consuming marketing and lead generation activities.

What Makes a Great Agent

As a real estate agent, your personal performance will directly affect how much income you bring in. While there are other factors that will influence your stream of revenue, the road to success starts with you. Given the competitive, self-starter nature of the business, being a high-performance agent involves a unique set of skills, traits, and personal qualities. 

At the end of the day, real estate is a people business – so it helps to be a ‘people person’. Almost all top-earning real estate agents are especially extroverted, outgoing, and comfortable in high-pressure situations.

As an agent, you’re walking clients through a fairly big life change. During a move, things can become highly emotional, and they often do. You’ll also be performing critical negotiations during one of the most substantial transactions of your clients’ lifetimes, so a knack for confidence and composure is also important. 

Of course, these qualities can be developed and nurtured over time. However, it can be tremendously helpful to hold some of these traits before you begin your career.

As a real estate agent, working with the right brokerage can make a huge difference in your career. To learn more about what brokerages do, explore some of these posts from our blog.

Not that I am the Dr. of Love or anything like that… But then again, most people like to believe they are. After all – Love is a many splendid thing. When my wife and I were planning our wedding back in 1986 she suggested we reveal to all in attendance words that would convey our LOVE for each other. My favourite Love Description is from 1 Corinthians 13: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. 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.
