I'm proud to have received the Re/Max Hall of Fame Award acknowledging outstanding professional achievement in real estate. The award recognizes and salutes the exclusive group of top producers who have achieved more than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in gross commission earnings during their real estate career with Re/Max There are a million different reasons why people sell their homes, but every seller has one thing in common: the desire to get as much money as possible from their existing residence as quickly and as hassle-free as possible. (If your home is your principal residence, you won't have to pay capital gains tax on any profits from the sale. If, on the other hand, it is an investment property, prepare for the tax man!)

Buy or Sell First? Buy or sell first? That's tricky. After all, if you find a purchaser for your existing home, before you've found a new one, you may find yourself living out of a suitcase if convenient closing dates cannot be negotiated. On the other hand, if you find your dream home before you have sold your existing home, you may be faced with carrying two mortgages for a time. So how do you manage? Easy. Do your homework and have a good idea about the neighbourhood and type of home you're looking for. Do an honest evaluation of your family's needs and budget. Speak to your sales representative and start your new home search as soon as your existing home hits the market. I'm one call away from helping you purchase your dream home! more... See more text
