The Power of MLS®

Through our Hearth & Home Listing Service sales representatives have access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS), an electronic database which offers a host of information on a property, including detailed property features, real estate taxes, and the recent sale prices of homes — tools that can help determine the true value of a home. MLS® information is updated constantly; sales representatives have access to homes the minute they become listed in the system.

As your search begins, your Local Barrie Relocation Experts will want to know the answers to these questions:

Where have you selected to live?

What style of home do you wish to buy — Detached, Townhouse, Condo, etc.?

How much mortgage have you been pre-approved for?

Are there any special features or requirements you need in your home?

Based on your answers they will begin showing you house on the market that match those criteria. How quickly you discover the home your dreams will vary greatly, you could find it when you view that first home or you might look at a number of homes with none of them catching your interest. Rest assured, the home you’re looking for is out there, and when you find it, you’ll be ready to make an offer.

Your Hearth & Home Sales Representative will provide expert advice on how to prepare your offer but ultimately it’s your offer and all the decisions are yours.

Your Hearth & Home Sales Representative will arrange to have your offer presented to the Seller through the listing agent and advise you if they accept, reject or counter your offer and provide you with good advice you will need to proceed.

If your offer is accepted, the next steps are closing and moving into your new home once all conditions are met. If your offer is rejected and another offer was accepted, then it’s time to continue your search. If you offer is countered, you can accept their counter offer, reject it, or make a counter proposal of your own. Your sales representative will guide through each of these scenarios.

Once your offer has been accepted, the Stables Team, will monitor the progression of your offer, ensuring that all conditions are met on time and ensuring things progress properly until closing.

CITY OF BARRIE INFORMATION

City  of Barrie

The City of Barrie continues to be one of Canada’s fastest growing and dynamic cities. Its location in proximity to the GTA allows for easy commuting, while still offering scenic wilderness and recreational activities right outside your door. Barrie manages to achieve an important balance; with ample parkland, a beautiful waterfront and heritage downtown, it maintains a community-minded ‘small town feeling’, yet at the same time continues to grow and prosper with all of today’s modern conveniences. With these benefits, Barrie is not only a wonderful place to vacation, but an ideal spot to call home.

If you’re thinking of moving to Barrie, Ontario, you can rest assured this area is one of the finest in Canada. One you thing you might not realize, however, is that Barrie is rather large and has several neighborhoods. In fact, let’s take a close look at the areas found in downtown Barrie as well as those found in the East End.

Our Military Relocation Realtor specializes in residential properties and can explain the value of buying in any particular neighbourhood.

FREE THERMAL IMAGING
What is Thermal Imaging and How Does it Work? Thermal imaging is the use of a thermal camera to capture images which show differences in surface temperatures. These differences are shown by different colours on a colour scale. Any small differences in temperature can be the indication of moisture. It’s a good idea to check areas such as walls or ceilings near plumbing fixtures and areas around appliances. If a difference is detected, it can be measured with a moisture meter to see if there is moisture present. Thermal imaging is not an invasive test, and does not allow you to see through walls. Since it only detects differences in temperature, it isn’t detecting moisture directly—which is why it’s necessary to further investigate differences with a moisture meter. Also, it is not useful for measuring insulation problems because the indoor and outdoor temperatures may be very similar. For example, if the temperature indoors and outdoors is 70oF, it will not pick up any insulation problems because there is no temperature difference.
