Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

 

The BC Minister of Finance has announced several changes to the Property Transfer Tax program, effective Wednesday, which include:

* A property transfer tax exemption for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who purchase newly-built homes, condos and townhouses under $750,000.  

* Purchasers must live in the property for at least one year. This is a potential savings in closing costs of up to $13,000.

* A one percent increase in property transfer tax to three percent for homes which are sold over the $2 million mark.

* The first time home buyers exemption will remain in place for homes under $475,000.

* Buyers will need to start disclosing their country of residence in all property transactions.

* The beneficial ownership of properties held by corporations will also be tracked.

Stay tuned for more information!

What sets us apart?

 

As a Realtor® we have to set ourselves apart.  How do we do it?  Thats exactly it, WE!

My team consists of my husband, who attends all open houses, drives me & my buyers around town & is there for peace of mind.  My father in law builds all of my signs by hand  and drops off flyers for open houses/marketing sometimes walking several kilometers to do so. Not to mention my mother in law who babysits our kids so we can give you our full attention.  

Family means the world to me & so do my clients.  We treat you as family & care about your transaction from beginning to end and beyond. 

As a bonus I am one of Three generations of Realtor's® serving Washington State, Nevada & the Greater Vancouver B.C. Area.  Ask me for US Realtor referral.

OPEN HOUSE CRAZE

 

Just had an open house on my new listing last Saturday. Friday night it hit the market, Saturday we entertained 61 groups (not people) through and sunday to our surprise another 38 groups.  Totallying 99!  Today I can say it is SOLD & for over asking! 

I am amazed at the activity.  This definately shows our inventory is low! Hop on this selling craze, ask me how!



Honolulu No Ka 'Oi

 

In January my family took our first trip back to where I was born, Honolulu, Hawai'i. It has changed so much but still everytime I go I feel like I am home. The people of Hawai'i are so welcoming & you feel the aloha spirit from the airport to the beaches. After asking our children if they would like to go to Hawai'i again or Disneyland they both without hestiation said Hawai'i first! 

If you have never been, it is a treat!  Feel free to send me a message or call me for tips! Ohana, a hui ho kakou!!!
