Things to be Aware of When Moving from the BC Coast to the Interior

Whenever you’re planning a big move - such as from the BC coast to the BC interior - it’s a good idea to do some research about the area that you want to move to: what the weather is like, what the schools are like, and the job opportunities available. Depending on what type of life you live the interior might be a better option for you than the coast. However, there are some differences that you should know before committing to the big move.

WEATHER

The weather in the interior versus the coast has some dramatic differences. While the coast is known for its heavy rainfall, cloud cover, wet slushy winters, and tends to have a chill for many days that gets into your bones, the interior is quite the opposite. With warmer summers, dry...

10 things to watch out for when staging your home for sale

Staging your home is a crucial part of selling. Potential buyers want to see a clean, bright house to envision if the house will be right for them.

While staging a home might seem like an easy job there are key factors that come into place when staging.

Some forgotten features might make potential buyers turn their heads to another property.

Below are a few examples of what not to do when staging your home:

  1. Diminishing the house’s personality. Don’t go too far with decluttering your house for staging. Add some throw pillows and plants for a pop of color to grab the buyers’ attention!
  2. Dark windows. Dirty or dark windows can reduce the amount of natural light. Give them a good scrub for optimum lighting.
  3. Unclear purpose for rooms...

Creating a Manageable Timeline when Selling

There are several ways to make the selling process easy and relatively stress free. One way is to create a selling timeline that fits your needs, lifestyle, and capabilities.

Say you’d like to list your home in four weeks and expect it to be on the market for an additional four weeks. That’s an eight-week timeline. How do you create a manageable schedule that works for you? Try these steps:

  1. Determine what you need to do to get your home ready for sale.
  2. Assign who will be doing what. For example, if you need to paint, will you hire a contractor? Do it yourself? Make a family day out of it?
  3. Estimate the time it will take to do those tasks. Then add 50% as a buffer. (It’s easy to underestimate time on tasks.)
  4. Look at your current...
