I Am a Boring Realtor In London Ontario

I could not come up with a better word than 'boring' to describe my real estate practice! 
I'm not bored, my clients are! You see, they are happy and excited when they successfully buy a house or a condo in London or when I sell their home. Where the boring part comes in is that 99% of the time, there is no drama, emergencies or late night tossing and turning.
                      we are boring
 But at the end of the day, clients found us to be boring!
 Let me explain.
 I know from experience that most buyers and sellers of real estate, stocks & bonds, mutual funds, automobiles etc. are not disciplined in all situations and let the heat of the moment, their emotions override logic and at times common sense.
 Knowing that and wanting my client's to be successful when buying and selling real estate, why not build a systematic approach to real estate, why not develope a step by step plan, improve it, study it so that my buyers and sellers of real estate are not tempted to stray in the first place?
 So boring it is. No more:
  • no more last minute phone calls that the buyer's financing fell through
  • no more silent treatment
  • no more "we cannot close tomorrow, we need this, the bank needs this, blah, blah'
  • no more real estate agent games such as "we have another offer"
  • no more back and forth where the offer to purchase looks like a spaghetti factory! 
  • no more "if you don't buy tonight, it will be too late"
  • no more low ball offers on your home
  • no more you making low ball offers on a property
  • no more underpricing or overpricing your home
  • no more worrying about owning two homes
  • no more waiting 60+ days for your home to sell
  • no more "I wonder what those buyers think about my house"
  • no more "Am a paying the right price for this property"
  • no more " What if this falls through?"
  • no more "What if I find out later there is something wrong with this house?"

 You see, I am just boring. I go through all of the above plus more,  set price & time  parameters and then just go out and do it!
Boring I know.
Oh, we have fun, at times a bit of excitement but no game playing, no posturing, no phoniness, just do what you hired us out to do, guide and advise you to a successful real estate transaction.
You see, it is quite straight forward and pretty simple!

Can't Make A Decision To Buy Real Estate in London Ontario?

We all have been there and later say we should have or could have or have heard the stories.

 Here is a Buyer's lament that I feel covers it all:



I hesitate to make a list
Of all the countless deals I've missed;
Bonanzas that were in my grip -
I watched them through my fingers slip;
The windfalls which I Should have bought
were lost because I over-thought;
I thought of this, I thought of that,
I could have sworn I smelled a rat,
And while I thought things over twice,
Another grabbed them at the price,
It seemed I always hesitate,
Then make my mind up much too late,
A very cautious man am I
And that is why I never buy.



When tracts rose high on Sixth and Third,
The prices asked I felt absurd;
Whole block-fronts bleak and black with soot-
Were priced at thirty bucks a foot!
I wouldn't even make a bid,
But others did -- yes, others did!
When Tucson was cheap desert land,
I could have had a hip of sand;
When Phoenix was the place to buy,
I thought the climate much too dry!
"Invest in Dallas-That's the spot!"
My sixth sense warned me I should not,
A very prudent man am I
And that is why I never buy.

A corner here, then acres there,
Compounding values year by year,
I chose to think and as I thought,
They bought the deals I should have bought.
The Golden chances I had then
Are lost and will not come again,
Today I can not be enticed
For everything's so overpriced.
The deals of yesteryear are dead;
The market's soft -- so's my head!

Last night I had a fearful dream,
I know I wakened with a scream;
Some Indians approached my bed --
For trinkets on the barrelhead,
(In dollar bills worth twenty-four,
And nothing less and nothing more),
They'd sell Manhattan Isle to me,
The most I'd go was twenty-three.
The redman scowled: "Not on a bet!"
And sold to Peter Minuit.
At times a teardrop drowns my eye
For deals I had, but did not buy;
And now life's saddest words
I pen"If only I'd invested then!"

As you can see, you are not alone. I can help you through the decision process with facts and research, you are in charge of your emotions. If that works for you, let's get together.
