I already answered it earlier. To do proper Comparative Market Analysis Reports for our clients. We need to establish up to date market values - this is our job. THIS is why we need it, and sellers have given us permission to use it for that purpose. They haven't given us permission to...

Glass and glass insurance are expensive. You don't need to get robbed to have your front window broken. Stones from passing vehicles, etc. I know it looks low-level, but the business owner doesn't care - he's at home knowing his glass is safe. LOL

$40 isn't much at the end of the day when talking about real estate investments. I guess the creator of that intricate spreadsheet is just looking for a return on HIS investment (his time and skills). LOL

When we list a property, the seller agrees that realtors can share this information inside our network (MLS). They have agreed to it. We are bound by our rules and regulations as to what we can do with this information, and we are bound by the Privacy Act. If the seller wanted Joe Public to...

The CMHC premium has nothing to do with the property, it's mortgage insurance. If you pay out that mortgage when you sell, and then get a NEW mortgage on the second property, you will have to pay another CMHC premium on that mortgage. You get no refunds. What you can do, when selling your...

The financial market information is different than real estate market information. What a stock sells for at 11:59AM is a finite number. Our 'sale' information is for a pending sale, not a closed sale. We realtors can access this to do up to date CMA's. In reality, our customers don't pay...

Migos, I'll try to explain it. We're not accessing this information, this is OUR information - we've created it, and uploaded it. We created the MLS system, we pay to run it, support it and access it. It's like the oil industry having a private website that contains all the information for...

When you bleed $1,000,000 per MONTH with an unsustainable business model, this comes as no surprise to the rest of the industry. The general public reacted to Zoocasa as we predicted. Read post #5 in this thread (a FANTASTIC post, BTW). All the reasons for potential failure were outlined...

This whole thread has been a feast for the eyes! You've certainly mastered that piece of equipment, to say the least. Thank you for these... If you're around the 'hood, more of Cabbagetown's Parliament/Carlton area viewed south would be fantastic!

It's tenanted - need I say more? LOL

The sold data between date of sale and date of closing is restricted under the Privacy Act of Canada - we cannot disclose it. Once it is released to thousands, it cannot be retrieved/deleted if a deal falls through before closing. After closing, the general public already has access to...

What could possibly go wrong with releasing the data? Mr. Smith sells his house in a normal market. Asking $789,000, sold for $750,000. That information is then released by all sorts of sources to the general public. Mr. Smith's house has NOT closed. The buyer, for some reason, has to pull...

Streaming from an online source means it's caching on the unit, be it a box or a PC, which means it's downloading - same thing, just different method. It's like viewing a JPG online - if you can see it on your screen, that means there's a temp version of it already stored on your computer in...

Always ask for an up to date credit report, references from their employer, etc. Also ask for the name and contact info of the landlord previous to their present one. The present one will tell you anything to take Tenant from Hell off his hands. You'll want to ask that previous landlord if...

If they come onto a real estate forum, in a serious discussion about the qualities of a good vs bad agent, and they discuss farting, that just might be another sign.... EDIT: ahhh, I see he has now removed that comment from his post. Good idea!

Since Gr8TV is playing CAM movies, etc., this indicates that they are showing pirated stuff, streaming via torrents. Why not just download what you want and bypass the $299 box? I cut cable about three years ago@ $80/month. Paid for a house full of big screen TV's. LOL I just increased my...

Here's an excellent one online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csxSUiL1d5A The actual spreadsheet can be obtained here http://www.reandfinance.com/

In my own personal dealings with a lot of 'teams', usually the homeowner only sees the top of the team at the listing presentation and then never again. After that, it's the underlings who handle things. One even sent a brand new agent to deal with the offer negotiations (I had to teach her...

Re: my earlier post. I in no way meant to infer that an agent who owns a property is guaranteed to be a good agent, but buyers should get a seasoned, experienced agent. Even better if they can get one with personal experience in home ownership, etc. vs one who has been licensed for six months...

If they're going to talk the talk, make sure they walk the walk. There are plenty of real estate agents out there who have never owned property, they rent. Ask your prospective agent if they own, and ask for proof of this. How can they have empathy for your emotions and stress if they've...
