Putting your house on the market in Thornhill? Fine. But, for a few good reasons, be sure to engage the "right" real estate agent. First, one needs to put some distance between the prospective Thornhill buyer and Thornhill seller. When prospective buyers come to see your property, they're not looking at YOUR house. What the see is THEIR home; what THEY can make of it... how THEIR furniture will fit and how THEIR family will use the space. That would-be buyer isn't really interested in how you live in your Thornhill home but in how HIS or HER family will.
Gitta Levi, as a top selling Thornhill real estate professional, qualifies each prospect before she shows your home. Gitta does not show the house to just anyone who calls. She meets the prosective purchasers in her Thornhill office and qualifies them as to their interest and ability to purchase. You'll only see those prospective buyers who really need and want a Thornhill house or condo like yours. And Gitta knows how to show the property, emphasizing the features the buyer wants, not those the seller thinks are important. Part of the qualifying process is communication; the ability of the agent to separate what the Thornhill purchaser expresses from what he/she actually means. It's the skill, experience and talent of Gitta Levi to communicate effectively and get precise insight into what the Thornhill buyer is actually looking for that will determine how quickly and effectively a match can be achieved.
A sad truth that experts can point to regarding real estate advertising in Thornhill is that only about three percent of the people who call to inquire about a property are really interested in it. Some can't afford it. Some really want something else. And some are "just looking".
Other than the technical know-how required in selling real estate: marketing, financing, legal matters, etc., its "people skills", the understanding that Thornhill sellers and Thornhill buyers are individuals with their own specific needs and aspirations, that deifferentiate one agent from the next. And, while it may appear that all agents can deliver the same service and performance, it is that undefinable quality of being sensitive to and astute in "reading people" that makes Gitta Levi a more effective go-between than another.

Century 21 FIND THE PERFECT POOL IN THORNHILL TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
A swimming pool in Thornhill is the perfect way to entertain the kids and spend quality time with your family or just to relax and enjoy the outdoors. But before you head out the door to your Thornhill pool store, take the time to learn about the different types of pools available. Here is an overview of what you can choose for your Thornhill backyard.
Vinyl-lined pools are the most popular type of pool in Thornhill,Canada. Constructed of steel walled panels supported by steel braces, this type of pool features a vinyl liner placed over the steel panels and the pool floor and is held in place by coping around the pool perimeter.
Poured-in-place concrete pools use concrete that is poured over a rebar grid (steel rods for reinforcement) between prepared forms, while wet mix shotcrete uses pre-mixed concrete that is sprayed onto a steel reinforced grid through a hose nozzle. The walls of the pool are then finished in plaster or other coating products and then painted and decorated with tile or stone accents. Concrete pools are more labour-intensive than vinyl-lined pools and can take several weeks to build - but they do offer unlimited design potential for your Thornhill pool.
Another option is a fiberglass pool. This type of pool is prefabricated and is shipped to the site on a trailer and lowered into the ground by a crane. The fiberglass shell is then plumbed and backfilled, with installation taking about one week.
The most affordable of all pool types is the above-ground pool, which consists of a vinyl liner attached to an above-ground metal or resin frame in a round or oval shape. Above-ground pools average 1.2m - 1.3m (4 - 4.5 ft.) in height and offer contemporary colours and accents on the outside walls and uprights that allow them to complement any Thornhill home or landscaping design.
Onground pools - also called semi-inground pools - are made of rigid steel or aluminum walls that are partially lowered into the ground. Ideal for Thornhill backyards with uneven terrain, onground pools are also perfect for yards with limited space and come in round and oval shapes.

Century 21 Basic Home Selling Tips for Thornhill, from Gitta Levi
Century 21 Basic Home Selling Tips for Thornhill, from Gitta Levi
Often, when selling real estate in Thornhill,people will base their asking price on how much they paid for or invested in their home. This is a mistake. Overpriced Thornhill listings make other homes for sale (the competition) look like good buys and only help to sell those other properties. An over priced home in Thornhill will not sell unless the price is reduced sometimes little by little until it reaches what the Thornhill market will bear, wasting time and causing stress to the owners. In fact, a listing that shaves the price down over a period of time can end up being "stale" and ultimately fetch less money for the Thornhill owners .
CHOOSING YOUR THORNHILL REPRESENTATIVE: It's a natural reaction. Many homeowners in Thornhill list their home for sale with an agent that suggests the highest asking price. Or, they will choose an agent from a large, high profile company or a friend or relative in the business.If a Thornhill homeowner wants to ensure that his/her best interests are served, it's best to choose an agent that will analyze your area, and then can justify the recommended asking price with a proper Thornhill Market Analysis .
SHOW YOUR THORNHILL HOME AT ITS BEST: First impressions are critical. Few Thornhill buyers are able to see a home's potential...They buy what they see, not what you think they should see. Make sure your Thornhill home looks as bright, cheery, spacious and well maintained as possible. Do not invest in repairs or cosmetic changes before you talk to Gitta Levi, one of the top Century 21 Thornhill agents. You may be doing all the wrong things, even if they are for the right reasons.
