Buying or selling a home? FAQ #2

Last time we began answering some of the frequently asked questions I receive from my clients. Here is the second helping.

• How does the new Toronto Land Transfer Tax affect me?

  This depends on your circumstances - for instance first time buyers will receive a rebate on the tax for purchases up to $400K. For others, the tax matches the existing provincial tax. Check out our comprehensive article for all the details on the Toronto Land Transfer tax

   

• How do I go about finding open houses?

  If you are a client of the Julie Kinnear Team, we will send you a comprehensive list of all the open houses happening in Toronto's desirable neighbourhoods every single weekend! If you're just browsing, feel free to contact us for open house information on specific properties - or you can check out MSL.ca for their list.

   

• Can I get a lockbox code from you and just visit a house myself?

  For the protection of all parties to a trade in real estate, you must be accompanied by your Buyer Representative when visiting a property (unless the seller is holding a public open house)

   

• What is your referral policy?

  The majority of our business comes from friends, family members and happy clients who introduce us to their friends and work with us again and again. Of course we also meet new clients who've found us on this site! Please visit the By Referral Only page on our website to find out more about how the way we work benefits you.

   

• Should I buy first or sell first?

  Each strategy has its advantages & disadvantages depending on your unique situation. Contact us and we will be happy to help you craft a strategic plan that works best for you.
