At first he saw cusâ€" tomers grabbing up handfuls of 89â€" cent Crest, certain the price would go up again next week. After realizâ€" ing that won‘t happen, their buying patterns begin to change and crediâ€" bility builds. "The people who work in the Oakville store all live in Oakville. They are the community," said West. As further evidence of communiâ€" tyâ€"minded commitment, West explained how store managers will be encouraged to become active members of the Chambers of every town in which they operate once renovations are complete. In addiâ€" tion, charitable involvement will be left to the discretion of the individuâ€" al stores, not head office. (just N. of Upper Middle Rd.) Walâ€"Mart grand opening in November vested interest. Oven Ready i Shepherd‘s Pie 2163 Sixth Line (Continued from page 1) Upper Middle Rd en the time comes to sell your Wome, you may be tempted to sell it yourself. There is primarily only one reason for doing so, and that is saving on a real estate commission. The only other motivation could be a personal challenge or learning experience, but basically the desire to save money is the main motivator. You may indeed save money. On the other hand, the saving tould be an expensive illusion. Inexperience If you don‘t know all the steps involved, from the preâ€"sale procedures and strategies to completing the deal and receiving the money, you could and probably would make mistakes that could be costly to you. Emotional roller coaster Many people, especially with their own home, tend to get emotionally involved in the sale process because of the direct interaction with the prospective purchasers. For example, frustration can be experienced due to rejection of the house, negative comments or faultâ€" finding, people whose personality you don‘t like, or people who negotiate toughly on the price. These oneâ€"onâ€"one direct dynamics or comments can sometimes be taken personally, and therefore be a cause of stress. Time commitment You have to have open houses as well as show your property at times that may not necessarily be convenient to you. In addition, you are going to be spending time preparing the ad copy and staying at home to respond to telephone calis or people knocking on the door. Advertising Costs include all the daily or weekly newspaper classified and/or box ads, as well as a lawn sign. You would pay for these yourself. In addition, you may not know what specific types of advertisin would be appropriate for your type 0 property; how to write ad copy that would grab the attention of a reader and prospective purchaser; nor how to identify and emphasize the key selling features of your property. Limited exposure There are considerable differences in market exposure in terms of advertising by yourself and the types of advertising "The fundamental shift in thinkâ€" ing has started," said West, explainâ€" ing how store managers are restrictâ€" ed by maximum prices then adjust these downward to compete with the best price in town. "Word of mouth is the best advertising in the world." Walâ€"Mart will also cut back even more than it has already on flyers, limiting them to one a month startâ€" ing in January.

There is obviously a direct correlation between the nature and degree of markets exposure and the end price. Clearly, limited market exposure means limited prospective uyers. Legal problems The prospective purchaser may supply you with his own agreement of purchase and sale. This contract may have clauses and other terms in it that could be legally risky, unenforceable, unfair, or otherwise not beneficial to you. You may not recognize these potential problems or risks. In addition, you could end up agreeing to take back a mortgage (vendorâ€"back mortgage) when it would not be necessary or wise, or to accept a longâ€"term option or other legal arrangement that could be risky. Lack of familiarity You may not have a clear or objective idea of exactly what a similar property in your market is selling for, or the state of the real estate market at that point in time. This can place you at a distinct disadvantage. For example, if you are being unrealistic in your pricing, along with limited advertising exposure, you could literally price yourself out of the market. Prospective purchasers may not even look look, let alone make an offer. You may eventually sell your property, but onlr after several price reductions and after a long period of time. Naturally, of course, this depends on the market and the nature of your property. Conversely, you could have a property with unique features or potential that could justify a higher sale price than you might realize. Dan Cooper is an awardâ€"winnin.

An average of $2 million is being spent to renovate each store, a task which in itself has created many jobs, he says. The Oakville store may look like a Walâ€"Mart, West explained, but the restoration process is no mean assignment. Floors and ceilings are easy, he says, while assembling the merâ€" chandise assortment takes some doing.
