Buying a home is a huge, life changing event that requires time and patience.  It's therefore not uncommon to be paralyzed by indecision after viewing several homes.

It's important to be fully aware of your wants and needs, especially if you're purchasing as a couple.  Relationships are all about compromise so if you can't agree after viewing scores of homes, you need to sit down and reassess your priorities.

Keeping up-to-date with the local real estate market is key to getting the right property at the right price.  Markets vary over both time and location so make sure you're familiar with your area of choice so you'll know whether your expectations are realistic.

With today's online technology, it's never too early to get acquainted with the local market.  It's important to get a head start because oftentimes the first or second home you view will be "the one" but if you're totally new to the market, you'll be too hesitant to seize the opportunity.

It's sometimes necessary to act quickly when the perfect home comes up but in order to do that, you need to be confident, and confidence comes from being prepared.  It's therefore recommended that you talk to your mortgage specialist well in advance so that you're ready, willing and able when the time finally comes.

Having an open line of communication with your agent is critical to ensuring a positive, productive relationship.  Always keep your agent up-to-date whenever your criteria or circumstances change.  This way, you won't have to view a bunch of unsuitable homes that will only end up causing more confusion.

Buying a home can be a little nerve wracking if you're not fully prepared.  A bit of fear is completely natural but there comes a point when you have to put your fears aside in order to make the right decision.  As with any journey, it's important to align yourself with competent professionals to help guide you along the way.

November 26 to December 3, 2012

REALTORS® are gearing up for the 18th annual REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive.

Help us help out - If you have items to donate then give us a call at 604-466-4549 and we will come by and pick them up.  You can also drop them off at  Royal LePage Brookside at 11933 - 224th Street in Maple Ridge.

Since its start, we've collected enough blankets and warm clothing to help at least 185,000 people keep warm throughout the Lower Mainland.

This year we again need your help. Please donate any of the following to a drop-off location near you:

Donations are delivered to a LOCAL Charity in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows area.

New or gently used

• blankets, sleeping bags
• warm clothing - coats, jeans, pants, sweaters
• scarves, gloves, mitts, hats

New

(women, children, men)
• socks
• underwear

The REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive story

Way back in 1995, some caring REALTORS® in Vancouver observed the homeless situation in the city’s eastside and said to themselves, we’ve got to do something.

They put out an appeal to their fellow colleagues for warm blankets and coats and collected enough donations to help 3,000 of Vancouver’s homeless in the downtown core.

That single act of kindness has blossomed into one of the largest annual collections of warm clothing and blankets, helping homeless people and the working poor in every single community in the Lower Mainland.

Eighteen years later, thousands of REALTORS® from Whistler to Hope have collected enough donations to help more than 185,000 people in need. Each year, more than 75 dedicated members actually pick-up and deliver all the donations, and well over 100 real estate offices in the Lower Mainland act as collection depots.

The REALTORS Care® Drive now collects an astonishing amount of warm, winter items on behalf of dozens of local charities to help at least 20,000 people each year.

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that helps achieve a harmonious living environment in order to promote happiness and prosperity in one's life.  Here are a few ideas to enhance the energy flow around your home:

  1. Fire & Ice - Essential oils, crystals, candles and water features such as fountains and fish bowls will bring calm and balance into your home.

  2. Mirror, Mirror - The strategic placement of mirrors helps improve feng shui by drawing more sunlight into otherwise murky rooms and by expanding narrow areas such as hallways.

  3. De-clutter - Clearing your home of clutter will introduce a smoother flow of energy.  Clutter is a sign of trapped energy so be ruthless and get rid of everything you don’t need.

  4. Think Outside the Nest - Make sure the path to your front door is unobstructed and place a few plants and wind chimes on your porch.  Birds bring great energy so add a few feeders in your backyard.

Feng shui emphasizes that our physical surroundings have an impact on our emotional well being so it’s important to be aware of how we arrange the space in our home.  Buyers often feel certain vibes when they enter a home so a "harmonious feel" could be the difference between a quick sale and one that drags on.
