PEI Real Estate

It seems that real estate agents are shown less respect than they deserve, but like any professional, some are better than others. It might be slightly unfair to group them together with lawyers and used car salesmen, although some people insist on it. A ‘good’ real estate professional is a valuable ally in your search for a new home, business, or investment property. In fact, a dedicated agent will help take the stress out of a situation that can be hectic and exhausting. Whether you’re buying or selling a home, you can rely on your salesperson to be a strong support. It is important to find someone you feel very comfortable with and who meets your standards for respect and work ethic. 

A good agent will know the community well and be able to answer your questions about the neighbourhood. Their job is not simply to find you a home, but to handle the large amounts of paperwork, explain the legalities of the business, and deal with the various personalities, allowing the situation to remain smooth, which should lead to a successful outcome. A good agent understands the marketplace and is dedicated to helping you find your dream property for the best possible price. An objective outlook is essential for an optimum result and that is the most important reason to use a real estate professional.

There have been some changes to the Industry in the last few years, as discount companies have entered the marketplace. There is even a company that allows you to pay a one time fee to put their sign on your lawn, so you can sell it yourself and deal with the clients. You have a simple ad on their website and the rest is up to you. It is your responsibility to market your house and decide on a price. Some of these lower rate companies have been somewhat successful marketing this alternative method, but the reality is that most people pay the upfront price and later choose to go back to the services of a traditional real estate agent when their house remains unsold. Only traditional real estate agents have access to the MLS system that lists all houses for sale in PEI by all real estate professionals. The majority of people shopping for houses use the MLS system,so that is a key to buying or selling any real estate in all of Canada. The services of a ‘good’ real estate professional  can achieve positive results due to proper certification and broader marketing programs. Just make sure you find an agent with a strong work ethic and an agreeable personality. There are a few out there, as with any profession, that may not meet your expectations.

PEI Web Virtual Tours-  An Essential Marketing Tool

No one would ever consider having a website without at least one photograph. It would seem odd and be a waste of a visual medium that is meant to showcase your product and develop business leads and sales. In fact, most web sites are strategically designed for best effect and include a large number of appropriate photos and art work. Well, the time is now upon us that is seeing the wide use of video in on-line marketing to better illustrate our services and capture the imagination of the intended audience. After all, this is a highly visual medium and video is the next logical step.

Web Virtual tours have been used in real estate for quite some time, but mainly in major markets and with higher end listings due to the initial high cost. Prince Edward Island is only now seeing a move in this direction and PEI Realty TV & www.LivethePEIdream.com offer short, affordable videos in high quality digital format for home owners who wish to sell their properties privately. PEI Real Estate agents are also able to market their listings on the website. The only thing worse than having no video option is to have a video that is poorly shot and edited. A quality digital camera should be used and it should appear to be professionally filmed (no shaky bits), and include captions, narration, and/or music to enhance the mini-production. People judge a video instantly and a certain level of professionalism should be achieved. After all, image is everything.   

A video on PEI Realty TV is affordable, custom designed and edited according to specs, and will achieve results in this highly competitive PEI real estate market.

Call Hamish at 902.659.2778 to learn more about showcasing your PEI property in high quality digital video on www.LivethePEIdream.com. The video can also be integrated into other websites and placed in a PEI MLS listing (if applicable). Prices start at only $250. Get the edge on the other listing in this competitive marketplace and sell your property this year.

Prince Edward Island has some amazing homes tucked away in quiet coves along the shoreline and this is one of the most unusual beach houses you’re likely to find anywhere in PEI. It’s built on stilts and is located near Souris, PEI, and rents for around $4500 a week to tourists who want serious luxury on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the Island. 

The views are spectacular thanks to the stilts (actually, telephone poles) that suspend this sprawling PEI Beach Home in the air. You might want to split the cost with another family or two, but your vacation on PEI will provide memories to last a lifetime, or until you come back.
