Max Nizamov Reviews Elena Krivoruchko

How we helped Elena buy the home she wanted by taken care of everything

"Max basically did everything for me. He would pick me up to show my some properties, send me emails of updates, and he helped me with the paperwork. It was really great because I had no experience at all because it was my first purchase. He knows a lot about what he’s doing and I highly recommend him to everyone!"

Recently, many friends and clients here in Calgary have asked us why they need to hire a buyer's agent when they can just work with the agent who represents the seller. In short, why bring an extra person in the process?

Many problems could arise when working with the seller's listing agent. For one, that agent is representing the seller and their interests, first and foremost. Your needs take a back seat to the seller's. A buyer's agent levels the playing field - they have your back to ensure you get the best possible deal.

We often hear from people who don't realize that the friendly salesperson in the brand new home aren't representing the buyer. They are getting a paycheck from the builder to showcase the builder's product. In order to see past the sales pitch and make smart decisions, you need to work with someone who is experienced, knows the market, and can help you make informed choices. Sometimes the right move is to simply walk away.

Over the years, we at Best Listings Calgary have developed an extensive list of questions we ask all of our clients before we even begin looking at homes. These questions will help us get a better understanding of your needs, so we can show you homes that fit your particular circumstances. We won't waste your valuable time looking at 60 homes - that only makes the buying process more complicated than it needs to be. We'll put together a list according to your wishes and find you the right home in an efficient matter.

If you have any questions about how we get things done, or are have any real estate questions in general, give us a call or shoot us an email. We would be pleased to assist you!

We've talked to a lot of homeowners who are wondering why their home failed to sell in the spring and summer months. There are many reasons why this might have happened, so we're here to give you some tips on how you can turn your luck around.

It's likely that you overpriced your home. After gathering statistics for the spring and summer months, we found that 26% fewer homes were sold at or above list price in the summer than in the spring. This means, as the year has progressed, we've seen fewer multiple offer situations that typically drive home prices up.

We have some quick tips for you if you have had trouble selling in this changing Calgary real estate market:

-Reset your price expectations. It's important to check recent sales in your area. That way, you know what buyers are willing to pay for a home like yours in today's market.

-Revisit your goals. You may need to restructure your mortgage to get your desired results. You may not be able to get a cheaper one, but could potentially secure better terms. 

-Speak with an agent. We can help you determine what it is about your home that's preventing it from being sold. We'll give you advice on how to navigate this changing market so you can get your home sold for a desirable price.

These tips should help bring your current selling troubles to an end. If you would like more advice or would like to discuss another real estate topic, don't hesitate to give us a call. We are always available to be your Calgary real estate resource.
