On this podcast, episode 139, Adrian and Ariel explain the top 6 features sellers should implement to sell their homes in today's market. These features will help you figure out what homebuyers want in 2021.
 
There are always ways to improve your home in order to make it more desirable for your potential buyers. Home automation is a huge trend in the market. Home automation is automating the ability to manage items around the house with the push of a button, from window shades to pet feeders (or a voice command). Some activities, such as programming a lamp to switch on and off at your leisure, are simple and affordable. Others, such as modern surveillance cameras, may necessitate a larger time and money investment.
 
Another trend in the market is dedicated home office spaces. You'll be able to better isolate professional activities from your personal life if you have a dedicated office space. It's easy to overwork yourself when working from your living room couch or bedroom, because there's no mental divide between work and personal duties. Your home office should be separate from the rest of the house and used solely for work. It will be lot easy for you once you have completed your assignment.
 
One important feature that sellers often overlook is their color aesthetics. When picking a colour for a kitchen cabinet, keep in mind that it has the power to radically transform a space. It takes up a lot of room, so picking the proper colour for this piece of furniture is crucial. This is because it has the potential to improve or detract from the aesthetic appeal of your property. You can use any colour you want, but make sure it goes well with the rest of the furnishings and kitchen accessories.

What Homebuyers Want In 2021 | KT Confidential EP 139

In this episode (#182) of KT Confidential, The Real Estate Podcast,  Ariel and Adrian discuss how to properly proceed after the buyer doesn't deliver the deposit. If the financial risk of a variable-rate mortgage doesn't bother you, a variable-rate mortgage may be a preferable option in a low-interest-rate environment because the rate is likely to be lower than a fixed-rate mortgage, which can save you a lot of money. A fixed-rate mortgage, on the other hand, is the best option if you want to know that your mortgage payment will remain the same regardless of whether interest rates climb or fall.

How to Become a Realtor (feat. Steve Cecchetto)

On today's podcast, episode #78 with special guest Erin Monett, owner and operator of Trott Cottage, we discuss the ups and down of owning and renting out a lakeside cottage property.

Erin is the owner of 2 cottages which she rents out via Airbnb and markets on social media. Her success with her businesses is an admirable feat. As a registered real estate agent she has a wealth of knowledge that aids her with the logistics of renting properties and she continuously demonstrates a thorough understanding of exactly how to apply her skill set to achieve results.

With Erin as our guest,  we touch on many topics such as how to market yourself on social media, off the grid cottage properties, the benefits and risks related to operating an Airbnb, and the modern idea of renting in Toronto, or the GTA, and making your purchases further away in cottage country. Oh and also a cute cat and murder hornets.

All of that and more on today’s episode of 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.  Follow them on social for behind the scenes info, real estate tips, industry secrets and more.
