Surprise Visit

Would you be ready for a surprise visit to your home if someone showed up unexpectedly. It could be CRA, the local police or heaven forbid your in-laws. I always advise clients when an appraisal is necessary to have your home prepared as if you were having an open house as it will show pride of ownership.

So look around your home now, are there piles of laundry all about the place, dishes piled high in the kitchen and newspapers or periodicals scattered throughout the house. Are you filled with a sense of pride or a dread that anyone would see where you live. You may say that you are too busy to have a clean home or that you like your organized chaos. However there are lots of people who have plenty of kids, work a full time job and still manage to have a clean and tidy home.

I have had clients come to me for financing as they were in a tricky spot and when the lender saw the state of their home that the offer for financing was rescinded. We all have the same 86,000 seconds in a day, it is how we use them that matter the most. Your home does not have to be in a “Better Homes and Gardens” or “Architecture Digest” form, but it should present well enough to show that you care about where you live. This should not matter if you rent or own the property to have a place that you would feel comfortable showing your surprise guests.

Today I am thankful for night time temps that made it very conducive for sleeping, a surprise visit to a prominent citizen that made for very interesting news today and a quick fix for a recent automotive problem.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
