Читать книгу Sell Your Home in Canada - Geraldine Santiago - Страница 18

When you prepare to sell your home, you need to make a list of all the positive and negative aspects of your property. Some of the positive aspects may be distance to school, access to transportation, distance to the city centre, and distance to parks and community centre facilities. Though it is tempting to exaggerate the positive features of your property, it is dangerous to provide anything other than an accurate representation in all advertising and promotional material, or during showings to potential buyers. If you misrepresent the property you are selling, the buyer could sue you.

All homes have at least one negative aspect. Some negative aspects include an irregularly shaped lot or its location (e.g., Is your home on a busy main road? Is it too close to the golf course or train tracks?).

Highlight the positive aspects of your home as much as possible. Buyers will probably notice the negative aspects themselves. Also remember that some negative aspects may not be entirely negative to some people. For instance, having a golf course nearby may be ideal for seniors, or being on a main road may be great for someone who doesn’t drive.
