Everything REAL Estate DekkerTeam.comHOW TO TELL IF A HOME IS THE RIGHT FIT

Sometimes you see a SOLD sign on a home that you had no idea was for sale.

How does that happen?

There are people getting ready to list their homes and the only people that know about them are perhaps family, close friends and the REALTOR® they are going to

list with.

... And when a REALTOR® know’s the exact criteria of the dream home of a buyer, the sale happens before it hits the market.

Here’s how to be one of the few to have access to these off market listings: Call us today at 613-860-4663 or email us at info@dekkerteam.com

Off Market Listings in Your Neighbourhood

DEKKER TEAM APPLE FAMILY GATHERING When buying your new home, it is often hard to tell right away if it is going to be the right home

for you in the next year, 5 years, or decade. If you don’t have forethought, it may cost you thousands of dollars by making a premature move.

Of course, there are certain things to think about before buying your home, and it is really easy to miss one, and then regret the decision you made. Despite loving the size, kitchen, or price, there are many other important considerations to deeply process when deciding to buy your next home. Your lifestyle now and where your lifestyle will be in the next 3 , 5 or 10 years are the biggest factors.

Do you have more children than bedrooms? Do you have more rooms than you actually use? Do your clothes get wrinkled because your closet space is too crammed? Are your clothes spilling out of the closet? Do you have enough storage space? Are you tired of scraping the snow and ice off of your car because it won’t fit in the garage? Do you need a double car garage?

Looking forward to hearing from you, whether you are considering buying your Right Fit home, or selling the house that doesn’t fit anymore. You can reach us at 613-860-4663 to discuss your Right Fit needs. Stay tuned for the release of an assessment that will help you discover what the Right Fit home is for you potentially years before you are ready to make a move.

It was a beautiful, sunny day for the annual Dekker Team Apple Family Gathering. Fun was had by all. Thank you to all of our loyal clients who came out to enjoy the day with us.

In the 12 years we have been in Ottawa, the Dekker Team has

helped us with many purchases. We bought a home in Orleans

that was a right fit home, close to the school our daughters

were attending at the time. A couple years after, it didn’t fit our

family situation with 2 young adults in the house. We wanted

to continue with the investment property process but, we

couldn’t find the property that we wanted. Then, we thought

maybe we can rent the house that we are currently in and buy

a home that would best suit our needs. We put our house on

the market for rent, and we found the home that we wanted.

The other house is now being rented by a great tenant that the

Dekker Team helped us find. They have made it comfortable,

easy, and answered all of our questions along the way.
