New season, new tips

Yard signs, property showings, ghostly enclaves and secondary suites—what do they all have in common? They are all featured topics in our latest installment of REALTips for real estate agents. 

REALTips unpack the complexities of real estate into straightforward and understandable bites to help you keep up your a-game.  Our highly anticipated topics for 2017 include:

Give me a sign: The City of Calgary recently updated their temporary signage bylaws, thanks to feedback from businesses, residents, and of course, REALTORS®. We'll dive in to see what the bylaws mean for your business and your marketing strategies. 

Show like a pro: Showings are one of the most important steps during the sales process. To effectively nail down your sales, it’s important to fully understand the ins and outs of a strong showing. We're partnering with a resident expert to feature a top-notch walk through.

Paranormal activities: Have a client who’s trying to ditch a haunted house? With the help of a stigmatized property sales wizard, we're taking a look at what it takes to exorcize a client of a hard-to-sell home. 

Sweet look at suites: What defines a secondary suite? How should they be listed, or not, in the MLS® System? What are the perils and pitfalls when dealing with suites? We're connecting once again with the City of Calgary to learn more about a hotly-debated topic in real estate.
