CondoAdvisory Blog

Thanks to another condo advisory user, all users have some insight into a local developer, construction company and development. This is the type of thing this site was created for, to help all. please read the review on LedMac, Marcon, and Brentwood Gate.

Of course remember this is one users experience, we encourage and welcome other reviews either good or bad or anywhere in between. The goal is to help the public get a more accurate and first hand idea.

Thanks again to all our users.

Interesting article in the Globe and Mail sheds light an the long standing Myth thay a high percentage of DT Vancouver condos are owned for overseas investors and sit empy. Read here.

It always a great question, what can I do to help sell my condo more quickly and for a better price. Well there of course many answers to this question, but what you are really looking for are the things that will give you the biggest bang for your buck and have the largest impact. In my opinion there are three such things:

1. De-Clutter. This is probably the most important thing you can do and it does not really cost anything.

2. Flooring – Putting in new flooring, preferably hardwood or laminate will can make a huge difference (providing of course that you do not already have this type of flooring). This can totally transform a home.

3. Paint. Repainting will give a fresh clean feel to the whole home and like the flooring, will have a huge impact.

These three steps can totally transform a home and translate into a quicker sale and more money in your pocket. Of course as always, the listing price must be correct.

See the following review as a great example of how our users are helping users with information that otherwise may be difficult to get until it is too late. Click here.

Thanks for the great review.

Nice to see that users are taking the time to review developers as well as buildings. This is very helpful information for all our users and we encourage more people to do the same.

Just Launched: For each condo you can view, edit and save the Google Street View and Microsoft Bird’s Eye View.

We hope these are two more tools which can help take the “ummm…” out of condominium…

Please let us know your feedback.

Microsoft Bird’s Eye is available for most areas in the United States and Canada. Google Street View is available in most major U.S. cities.

OK, this is not something I would normally write about but it cought my eye and I thought why not? I never really thought about the fact that if you live in a condo but like gardening there may be a gap in condo living that needs to be filled. I found this post on Condo Blog. Enjoy.

I came across a very useful post on Condo Blog outlining the benefit of having representation when buying from a developer, as well as the pitfalls of not having the representation. Hope you find it useful as well. Click on the following link
