CREB®Now offers some peace of mind

This week’s issue of CREB®Now offers tips to identify and avoid the potential pitfalls that could derail your next home purchase. Check out the latest stories online.

A home inspection can help you spot these five red flags 

Experts say you should buy a home with your head and not your heart, but it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement when you find a home that seems perfect for you. That’s why a home inspection is a crucial step. It can uncover problems that might require walking away from a potential purchase, or at least mean reassessing your offer.

With the pristine parklands of Fish Creek Provincial Park in its backyard, along with quick and easy access to a variety of upscale amenities, Douglasdale offers the best of all worlds – both suburban and urban.

Crestmont View offers scenic estate homes in a natural setting 

Crestmont View, the new extension to the established community of Crestmont on Calgary’s western edge, offers beautiful views, lots of wide-open space and all the benefits of living in the city. 

The importance of accurate real estate measurements

While you might regret measuring your waist, accurate and consistent property measurements are time and money well spent. That’s why measuring residential property is mandatory for real estate professionals licensed by the Real Estate Council of Alberta. Governed by the Residential Measurement Standard, these calculations provide buyers and sellers with reliable property size and dimensions to help inform their decisions.

The most common real estate scams and how to spot them 

Real estate fraud and scams are rare, but often receive an outsized amount of media attention. Former Real Estate Council of Alberta investigator, and current supervisor of training and compliance with CREB®, Ryan DeLuca says it’s far more likely day-to-day real estate transactional details – without the benefit of advice, research and direction from licensed professionals – will trip people up.
