WHY USE A REALTOR®?

Licensed Realtors® are professionally educated and fully trained to guide you through the sales and/or buying process with the least amount of risk possible. We are monitored and guided by our Brokers and governed by real estate law. We are sworn to uphold a strict code of ethics and are required to complete an array of educational courses every two years.

We have a strong network of real estate related professionals with whom we have worked with personally, often for many years, and through many transactions. It is our business to know exactly what’s going on in our market, as well as our community.

Advertising the property efficiently is another area where a Realtor® can play an important role. A Realtor's® experience in deciding on the most appropriate type and frequency of advertising for your property can be invaluable. For example, placing too many ads can create the impression that there may be something wrong with the property or that the seller is desperate. 

Security is a major consideration when showing your home. By using a Realtor®, you can rest assured that all showings will be logged and supervised.

When negotiating a purchase, most buyers prefer to deal with the middleperson who is objective, unemotional and professional. Buyers will often feel more comfortable with a Realtor® than with the owner when they want to raise issues that need resolving before making an offer. A Realtor® will guide you through the minefield of potential problems associated with the appraisal, inspection and financing process, including the often complicated escrow/closing instructions. In addition your agent can meet and instruct any specialists or tradespeople who may be required for repairs or other issues that need to be completed before closing.

SELLING YOUR WHISTLER PROPERTY?

As your Whistler RE/MAX Realtor® it is my business to know what’s going on in the real estate market in your Whistler neighbourhood, and I will provide you with accurate and up to date information on pricing and market activity. This will include details on price and conditions of competing properties. These are key in getting your property sold at the best price and with minimum hassle.

As your RE/MAX Realtor® I will take advantage of the MLS network, as well as personal and company websites and the local Whistler Listing system. I will always be available to assist co-operating real estate agents in showing your home and providing all relevant information to prospective buyers. Above all, I will always be available to communicate with you on the progress of selling your property.

As your Whistler Realtor® I will objectively evaluate every buyer’s offer without compromising your position, and will, with your input, write a legally binding win-win agreement.

Although it is true that a few people have been able to sell their properties on their own, Whistler is unique with all the many complexes, types of usage, access idiosyncrasies, and often the expense, time involved and hassle is not fully understood. As with everything in life, it is best to hire the professionals in their field and this will help mitigate any potential legal and financial risk to you.

Please contact me at doug@myseatosky.com to further discuss a current market evaluation and sale of your Whistler property.

LOOKING TO BUY IN WHISTLER?

As your RE/MAX Buyer's Agent I will help you get the best possible property for your budget and lifestyle and as new properties come on the market I will notify you immediately so you don’t miss out on a great opportunity.

As a licenced professional Realtor I am often the first to hear about properties as they come to market. Additionally, sometimes the perfect property for you is available but not actively advertised. It is my business to know what’s coming to market, and I have the network, resources and insider knowledge to assist you in finding the best property for you and your family.

As your Whistler Realtor I can provide you with referrals to qualified professionals that will provide reports on building inspections, understanding legal documents, possible renovation costs, and securing financing.  All this knowledge will help resolve any issues and answer any questions before you make your final decision on a purchase.

Every deal requires patience and compromise on important factors such as price, financing, date of possession, and often inclusions of furnishings. The Purchase Agreement should provide time to complete appropriate inspections and as your RE/MAX Agent, I can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.

Above all, as your Buyer's Agent I will guide you through the entire purchasing and closing process from start to finish and beyond to ensure everything flows together smoothly and in a timely fashion.

Please contact me at doug@myseatosky.com to further discuss what properties are available with your specific criteria.
