Edmonton house flipping update.

This week I have identified 6 great deals in Edmonton for a house flip. I research these properties extensively from the sellers purchase price, to current market values and all of the current comparable properties.

It is freezing cold in Edmonton right now, does this affect real estate in Edmonton?

The answer is yes of course it does.... A lot of buyers want to stay home and cozy, but you can bet money that the ones that are still out shopping are most likely very qualified and good quality buyers. 

If you are selling your home when it is this cold out, please continue to show it. You are in constant competition with other sellers, whether you are selling a condo, townhouse or single family home in Edmonton get as many showings as you can. The more people that step foot into your property, the better the chance of that one person that will love everything about it will step in and pay you top dollar for your home.

I wanted to mention this to the sellers in…

Should you replace your old furnace when you are selling your home?

People often want to know what the secret is to selling a their property, or what they can do to get more money or an easier sale. I am a successful realtor in Edmonton, Alberta as well as an active house flipper. I currently have a flip house for sale that was finished absolutely beautifully, unfortunately it has an old loud furnace that is turning buyers away.

I called many agents back and told them I am replacing the furnace this week and several of them decided to come back for a second showing. I am now at the stage where an offer is coming in and the property will be sold.

Yes is the answer, you…

Flipping Houses in Edmonton

As many of you know, I started a flipping business in Edmonton, Alberta last year and I wanted to write a quick article on what to look for in a home if you want to flip and make a good profit.
