Unrepresented Buyers I know.. Do it yourself

 Effective Dec 1st;   

You can now be an unrepresented buyer.

Prepare your own offer, decide your own price. Add your own conditions.

Have your lawyer prepare the offer....

You sign all kinds of things that you cannot sue me as I did not provide advice or suggestions on clauses or conditions or status or deposits or anything...

No he said she said....

No suing me and my insurance because you did not understand.  
I don't need to explain it...

Is that better?

There are significant risks to representing yourself in a real estate transaction if you do not have the

knowledge and expertise required to navigate the transaction on your own. You will be dealing with

a seller or buyer who is benefitting from the services, opinions, and advice of a real estate agent.

It’s important to understand that the brokerage and its agents have a legal obligation to do what is

best for their buyer or seller client. If you are a buyer, for example, the brokerage and its agents are

working for the seller and must promote and protect the seller’s interests in the transaction.

Be aware that the agent is obligated to share anything you tell them with their client, including:

• your motivation for buying or selling the property;

• the minimum or maximum price you are willing to offer or accept; and,

• your preferred terms or conditions for an agreement of purchase and sale.

The real estate agent might provide you with assistance. It is important to understand any assistance

that might be provided by the agent:

• must be a service to their client, or incidental to a service to their client;

• must promote and protect the best interests of their client; and,

• must not include opinions or advice to you related to the transaction.

The story is now about hygiene at OPEN HOUSES and how COVID-19 has changed sanitation standards, including the availability of clean toilets and handwashing stations is astonishing:

Property Sales go virtual as work around Covid-19

If you need to sell your home or condo;

I’m the guy who does his job.  I do the virtual open house tours.  #Toronto #virtualopenhouse.

People see your home safely online. They inspect every nook and cranny.

They make an offer with a clause for physical inspection.

You vacate the property for that day.  We disinfect the door knobs and surfaces.

The buyer comes in, verifies what they have seen in the Virtual Open House tour and signs off on their conditional offer.

Easier to see the Virtual Open House 24 hours a day and share the URL.

Visit your family home - for ever

The home buying and selling experience can be an emotional one. Family and friends play a valuable role in this experience, providing input and support. The ability to revisit a home after the process is complete can provide a value for years to come. David Pylyp knows this first-hand and has come up with an idea he uses which is likely to catch on.

Sentimental about selling her parents’ family home, something understandably dragged their feet on, Pylyp took a Matterport Virtual Tour of the home before handing it over to movers, still with all the family knickknacks and pictures in place. He and the family, anyone he cares to share with can now revisit their home any time they like.

Virtual OPEN HOUSE before any changes are made. Instant inventory of contents. 





You could effectively go back and see the intact property with all the Growth Lines on the door frame in the kitchen; that marked each birthday...  The Knick Knacks on the window sill with the checkered blinds would still be there.

We can do this for you, soon.   Book Now!

Toronto Realtor David Pylyp's Technology Gets Sellers Top Dollar

Toronto Realtor David Pylyp, of the Pylyp Team at RE/MAX Realty Specialists Inc., leads the way in the future of real estate sales by incorporating new technology to sell homes.

Pylyp formed a team that has over 30 years of experience, accomplishes this by using the Matterport Camera  that he has been using for the past 5 years.



"Instead of taking still photos, the Matterport Camera allows us to create a three-dimensional interactive rendering of a location," said Pylyp. "These renderings are realistic and completely to scale, allowing the viewer to be immersed in the virtual tour."

In addition to creating a perfect  scale version of your space, the Matterport Camera also allows prospective buyers to do a virtual walk through of the property without having to be physically present. This allows more people to view the space without having to travel to it.  Sharing is common

"This feature is a huge benefit to our SELLERS since it gives buyers a true sense of what the property is before even stepping into it," added Pylyp. "This is especially useful for people looking to move into your real estate market from other locales - they can be sure about a property without relying on still images to make their purchasing decision."

Virtual Staging is also possible. After scans are made with the Matterport tour Pylyp's team evaluates the space, furniture and even wall colouring to see if virtual staging is a need. "Home staging is an important part of the sales process because it shows the buyer the potential of a property before they make an offer. Virtual staging the property at its fullest potential allows the clients to visualise themselves in the best version of the property."

This technology is an important part of the new landscape of real estate sales. Over 90% of buyers start their home search online, and almost 100% of people said that photos were the most important part of the real estate listing. Utilising a 3D rendering of a listing helps capture the interest of the online shopper and allow them to really get to know the property. Using the Matterport also helps connect listings to ideal buyers.


Often a full FLOORPLAN is included within the Property Details.

"This rendering is so detailed it allows your buyers to see the whole property, inside and outside spaces, take measurements and see the homes highlites; helping them become emotionally attached to your properties" beams Pylyp.

Your HOME can STAND out with the Walk Thru Video

Something crazy happens when an agent starts using video in their marketing.

It creates a massive impact on your prospects – because the words we hear echo in our minds 3-4 times longer than the words we read.

And when people SEE you, they trust you more, like you better… And you’ll look just as good as any agents in your market.

That’s why I want to share a super simple, fast video type anybody can do: The Walk Through Video.  This video can be inserted into the REALTOR.ca feed for your listing. 



The IMPACT Viewership will come from a Matterport 3D Virtual Tour like this;

Digital Marketing Build your list


Online marketing trumps traditional marketing in forms of both effectiveness and potential for saturation, but how do you go about marketing a home or condo on the internet? If you're going to set yourself apart, not only do you need to understand the fundamentals and mechanics of digitally marketing real estate, but you also need to ensure you have something that accurately portrays your home.

Simply put, pictures just don't do it anymore. Everyone knows that videos have begun springing up across realtors' websites in an effort to better showcase a home. It's obvious that videos help. However, today, a simple video just won't cut it anymore, nor will great photos. Today, for realtors and prospective home owners to set themselves apart in the digital marketing fray, they need 3D models and showcases of their homes.

3D VirtualTours like this  http://Bit.Ly/LuxuryVT  #Toronto #Etobicoke #Homes

Realtor embraces 3D Viewing with Matterport

The typical Realtor understands the power of video and 3D Tours but will not invest in the equipment or even a photographer. Just looking at pictures on the MLS proves my point.

This Camera has changed how I market Homes. It increases engagement 4 times.

$75 Credit Card Deposit will get you Listed on REALTOR.ca

Yes It's True.  Some brokers will post your listing onto MLS.ca for a flat fee of a few hundred or less.
you can with a $75 Credit Card Deposit will get you Listed on REALTOR.ca

Now you listing will show on the MLS advertising site but typically cannot be found by address search because London or Kingston agents generally do not belong to the Toronto Real Estate Board. [Current membership is 44,000 agents in Toronto that you are excluding]

You handle all the appointments and deal with every agent who calls and enquires about the house.

The public is also calling you; asking questions

You have the right to:
1.0 Mislead
2.0 Obfuscate
3.0 Never disclose pertinent details
4.0 Does the basement Leak?   Never Lies

You will never have a Multiple Offer because you have no obligation to play ethically or by any standard of conduct ( RULES don't apply)

The reality is a real estate agent instill confidence and educates a Buyer to move forward.

We help direct financing, legals and inspections.

Self Sellers want the highest prices.
Guess what
Home Buyers also want the best price they can get.


What's different?

I promote all the houses, all the solds, all the FSBO, all the mere listings.
AND I provide Matterport

Whisper Listings Listings for Luxury Homes

Recently a Hollywood movie star sold her house in a whisper listing.  Yes, You can have a look now at Jennifer 's House    http://variety.com/2015/dirt/real-estalker/jennifer-lopez-pocket-lists-hidden-hills-estate-1201419521/   but Toronto has more millionaires per capita than any other city in North America.  http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/99-reasons-why-its-better-to-be-canadian/


So What is a POCKET LISTING?  Simply put, I protect your privacy.

It is a Listing that at this time the Seller has no intention of placing on the open MLS.

These are listings that I sometimes have that are in better closed neighbourhoods.  This may be because of school district or simply pricing. [or the owner's privacy]

We have met at an open house and  a specific buyer that wants this particular subdivision.  There are very few or none available.  I will write and canvas the individual homes for pocket listings.

Notes and Direct Mail; Receiving a few replies will lead to previews of specific properties, that will agree to showing their home discreetly.

These one party signed exclusive [pocket] listing agreements, may prove suitable or may not.  They nevertheless become available inventory to my clients.


What are the advantages?
Some want privacy...
Some do not want the open MLS knowing they are for sale
No people [shoppers] through the property that are unqualified to make the purchase.

Are you ready to be previewed for Whisper Listings?

Call Now....  If its busy call back

Purchase a Private Seller

I recently received an email from a person who was going to buy through me a few years ago but then changed their mind. They sent me an email asking for some help. One of their kids bought a house in Oakville.

The deal is now firm, and wanted me to find out more about it. 

I sent her an email saying that his agent should have provided him with all the information. 

She let me know that it was a private sale and even the lawyer was wondering why the sellers wanted to sell so quickly. 

Guess they should have used an agent.

With no representation on either side, there is no one to hold accountable.

When you buy you can have;
Your deposit is insured when held by a real estate company.
A Home Verified Report of PAST insurance claims.
Purchase Ownership History
Do a Home Inspection
Home Systems Insurance is available for Appliances and Wiring / Plumbing
Ask about things Buried in the ground ( tanks or septic)
Ask About Wiring Knob and Tube
Are there any items contain in or on the property that will impact getting insurance or financing?
Has Anyone died in the home?
Was it ever used for Notorious Means?

Don't you ask?
I do.... everytime. At the offer in person.

Seller does not warrant the retrofit status of the ‘in-law" suite

What does that mean? I have been saying for years, many homes may have two or more kitchens. That does not make them legal basement apartments nor does a disclaimer that retrofit status need not apply. Need proof?


The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), the body that licenses and governs real estate agents, is cracking down on representatives who advertise two-unit homes without making clear whether the second unit — usually a basement apartment — is legal.
Many agents typically use wording such as, “Agents and seller do not warrant legal retrofit status of in-law suite.” Descriptions like this could disappear in the wake of two recent decisions of RECO discipline panels.
Dan Plowman has been a successful real estate agent in Whitby, Ont. for 25 years. Last year, he listed a property, describing it as having “income potential” with “separate entrance/in-law suite.” The MLS listing for the property included the disclaimer that “we do not nor does the seller warrant the legal retrofit status of the ‘in-law suite’.”
That wording, however, did not appear on Internet listings, or on realtor.ca.
Wording like this is common in the real estate industry and is generally understood to mean that the basement suite is not legal. In my experience, Plowman’s listing used wording that thousands of Ontario agents have used and continue to use.
In a RECO discipline hearing, Plowman faced charges of acting unprofessionally by including information in an MLS listing which was either false, inaccurate, misrepresentative or misleading to consumers.
It was alleged that he failed to take steps to verify the legal status of the basement suite so that the appropriate language could be used in the MLS listing and available to consumers.
In an agreed statement filed at his hearing in June, Plowman admitted that he breached several sections of the RECO Code of Ethics and was fined $5,000.
http://www.thestar.com/life/homes/2014/10/03/agents_on_the_hook_for_illegal_inlaw_suites.html
Clearly this was meant to cover the owner from potential liability.  The agent thought he did that properly, as you cannot use the income to qualify for your mortgage as the declared use on the offer is still Single family residential.

What do you think? Fair or deceptive?

Toronto Market Observations May 2014

Toronto Summer 2014

Yes, sales are up, again, by a staggering 19% in Toronto! The average price of a detached home in the 416 is pushing a million dollars.



http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/05/20/toronto-house-prices-soar_n_5359659.html?utm_hp_ref=canada-business

The number of detached homes sold last month were 1300 with a year over year appreciation of 13% in value.

[Flash back 4 years] http://youtu.be/mu269xorKBY   Same Media Perspective.

Sales in the 905 are selling 3 times as many for houses with 3,500 units but the individual price is averaging $645K.  Simply put, you are driving till you can afford it. 

Sales in tony neighbourhoods like Roncesvalles Village and Bloor West only numbered  57 and 91 units respectively fueling multiple offers approaching $966,000 as an average sale.

While the House Prices are up, Condo prices are flat with values that reflect 2009  pricing as more units become available.

Skyrocketing house prices are forcing more first-time buyers into condos, just to get a foothold in the housing market; only 53% of Toronto home buyers can afford detached houses.

Why is the number of average homes declining?

Seniors (Baby Boomers) are not selling but are instead IMPROVING and Renovating their homes for a long term ownership and are sitting on their real estate assets. This further constricts the supply.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/boomers-sitting-on-163-billion-in-real-estate-holdings/article18770674/?cmpid=rss1

Rentals are also softening their prices with a vacancy rate of 1.5% but bare in mind 70% of Condos in Toronto are Owner Occupied. (MacLeans) 
http://www.macleans.ca/society/life/condo-hell/

There is a huge pool of singles, both young and old that live alone. Condos feed that need and lifestyle. Although sales numbers seem high, this market is in temporarily oversupply. In a few years time there will be fewer and the dynamic changes again.

If you would like to discuss what's happening in the Toronto Real Estate Market I invite you to add your comments here.

If you would like to buy or sell Give me a call.

Your Agent is TOO busy to show you a listing?

Is you agent out of town?  Too Busy?   You have been looking for the perfect house for 3 years?   I need to ask some serious and direct questions.

As soon as they phone on a listing,   Can you afford it?  Have you been qualified by a Lender.  When do you need to move? Do you need schools or transit?

Are you under contract [Buyer's Agency Agreement] with another Broker?


Hi there can you show me that listing by the water?
No Problem,  Are you working with an agent?
Yes I am. She is in Toronto but she's unavailable right now.
Are you going to have her show you the property? 
Can't you just show me and I can talk to her?
How about I will show you and you can sign a Buyers Representation Agreement. If you want the property I will be your agent just for that property.
Well that won't work for me....
Well neither will me showing you the property,  without a written agreement.
OH SNAP!
..because I need to tell my Seller everything I learn about you. Unless you are shopping with me under a Buyers Agency Agreement and I keep your secrets

Call me at 647 218 2414
