Get Your Real Estate Education Here

Buying or selling real estate has always been a complicated process. Most people start their experience with no training and often no trusted advisor to help them through the rough spots.

You’ve all heard the horror stories... people who’ve purchased a money pit where they’ve ended up spending thousands of dollars on fix-ups, ended up in the wrong neighbourhood or paid too much!

Now there is a way to avoid all that mental anguish and costly lesson.

The Real Estate Knowledge Centre is proud to present our comprehensive educational roster of events which are intended to guide buyers and sellers safely through the pitfalls of the real estate process.

There are in-class formal sessions, informal round-table events, webinars, tele-conference calls, video trainings plus buyer and seller Handbooks to inform and educate you.

As a friend’s tennis coach said “Someone is happy about every shot you make. If it’s in, you like it – if it’s out, your opponent likes it"!

The transition from a strong seller’s market to a moderate to strong buyer’s market has hurt some people but it has benefits for many others.

Sellers have been in control of Toronto’s real estate market for several years and now it’s the buyer’s turn!

But always, when there are changes, there are pitfalls to avoid and circumstances to take advantage of.

You owe it to yourself to get as much information as possible BEFORE you make the plunge into home ownership.

Because you're reading this, I know one thing about you... you are ready to start the exciting, but frought with potential danger, home buying process!

There's a lot to think about and consider these days. What will the Toronto real estate market do in the next 1-2 years? Are prices going to fall and should I stay renting?

"The workshop showed us the details of the process of buying a house -- it showed things I didn't know." Catalina

That's why you're invited to a free Home Buyer Workshop which will educate you about the home buying market in Toronto.

You'll also learn how the process of buying a house or condo works and the advantages of purchasing in a 'neutral' or 'buyers' market (finally) and help you avoid making serious mistakes that could cost you thousands of dollars.

Specific Saturdays this month we'll be conducting special 2-hour tours of homes in Toronto's most popular or upcoming house or condominium neighbourhoods.

The Saturday Tour Of Homes is a great way to figure out which neighbourhoods and home styles are right for you.

Begin Your Real Estate Education By Receiving Weekly or Bi-Weekly Toronto House Or Condo Listings Automatically By Email!

Most agents don't want to waste their time with a buyer who is not planning to buy for several months, or even a year from now. However this often prevents, or hinders, a future buyer from getting an education about the real estate market here in Toronto. Although you could do some research on www.MLS.ca, you don't get the home addresses and then are forced to call an agent again.

The HOMEWatch Program provides the solution! It automatically sends you MLS listings by email as soon as they come on the market. You'll get the street address, lot size if it's a house, monthly maintenance fees if it's a condo and all the other information that is normally available to only agents.

This is a terrific service for those future buyers who want to start learning about values in specific neighbourhoods of their choice well before starting to seriously look at homes.

Specific Saturdays in the next month we'll be conducting special 2-hour tours of homes in Toronto's most popular or upcoming house or condominium neighbourhoods.

The Saturday Tour Of Homes is a great way to figure out which neighbourhoods and home styles are right for you.

Just select the best date and time for you and choose any neighbourhood, type of home and price range.

Remember, the Saturday Tour of Homes is not designed to find the home of your dreams. Rather, it provides an opportunity for you to learn about what homes or condos look like in the neighbourhoods and price ranges of your choice.

Protect Yourself From Mortgage Rate Increases For A Full 6 Months!

Lock in today's low 5-year mortgage rate regardless of what happens in the next 180 days!

If you just end up waiting to fix or lock in a mortgage rate until just before you buy, you may end up spending thousands more in interest over the life of your mortgage.

Most people are not used to thinking six months ahead but, if you are considering purchasing a home in the next 180 days, it might be the prudent thing to guarantee yourself the lowest possible rate.
