On this podcast, episode 159, Adrian and Ariel continue talking about their recent blog post the Kormendy Trott team posted titled: Buying Your First Home: The Ultimate Guide. This Podcast focuses primarily on Tips for Home Owners!

1. Cleaning Services - Hiring a cleaning service to clean your home can simplify your life and relieve you of daily responsibilities. You won't have to stress about finding time to do chores during your busy day. You won't have to spend time dusting, washing, or vacuuming once you've delegated cleaning duties to a cleaning service.

2. Used Furniture - Even when compared to fast furnishings, which might be absurdly inexpensive, buying secondhand furniture will almost always save you money. Used furniture frequently enters the market because someone simply wants it out of their house! The item will almost always be priced to sell. You'll also have more bargaining power.

3. Home Repairs - An emergency fund, in general, is intended to cover all of life's unforeseen expenses or to cover normal expenses if you lose your job. Adding a buffer to your emergency fund can help you pay for unexpected home repairs without depleting your primary safety net. Do what you can – at the very least, set aside $100. Once you've achieved that, set your sights on $500, and so on. Include a few hundred dollars in your budget for your home to get your locks changed if you lose a key, to fix a broken pipe, or to patch a small roof leak - all the little things you don't want to put off until your next paycheck or windfall.


All of that and more on KT Confidential - Real Estate Podcast.

The founders, Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott, started The Kormendy Trott Team, a real estate team based out of Halton region in Ontario, after both being in need of a change from their successful careers in the automotive industry and both experiencing the lack of service being provided in the real estate industry.  They kicked off their careers in 2011 and quickly became a top-performing team in the country, ranking 17th of approximately 200 for Century 21 in 2017; as a team of just the two of them compared to much larger teams.  They decided that they needed to take their team from being real estate agents in Milton to the rest of the GTA and beyond by expanding and servicing more areas.  The team has since grown to have an administrative arm, media department and successful sales team operating a smooth running and successful business.

KT Confidential Episode 11: Talking the Importance Of Open Houses

Welcome back! Here's what goes down in this episode:

- Builders need to incorporate better garbage, recycling and composting solutions in their new homes to encourage homeowners to properly utilize each service as well as considering more sustainable construction, off-the-grid options, etc.

- How we managed to sell a home over the asking price, in multiple offers, after  being on the market for almost 30 days

- Ariel's overly sensitive about being called out about using his cell phone while Adrian talks

- Creating a basement apartment and the lengths people go to when creating separate access... are they legal apartments and are they adding value to their home?

We're discussing Gary Vaynerchuk's recent rant on his $0.02 on home ownership, primarily for entrepreneurs, and how he feels the money you're using for a downpayment could be put to much better use in your business, whether for advertising, hiring somebody, etc.  Feed your business, bust your butt and it'll grow more than any potential gains in your property.

In this episode of KT Confidential, we discuss some of the new initiatives announced in the 2019 Federal Budget on Tuesday, March 20th.  First-time home buyer incentives have been revised and new ones introduced.  We're speculating that the Equity Share Mortgage option will allow some people to buy where they wouldn't have otherwise and the increase in the First Time Buyer RRSP Program allows for taking advantage of up to $20,000 more tax and interest-free borrowing from your RRSPs.  

The question is, will these initiatives stimulate the market?  

The government is doing other things to increase the development of new construction properties and purpose-built rental properties, which should also have an impact on prices if inventory increases. 

2019 is going to be an interesting year in Real Estate!  Follow the KT Confidential podcasts for updates on the market, real estate news, design trends, home tech and banter.
