Page 10 THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday September 1990 Halton Hills residents invited to join walk Hills residents have the to join a Native protest is the Freedom for Nitassinan Peace Walkers to pass through the own Thanksgiving weekend Approximately Natives will through Georgetown and Ac jam as part of their 800 kilometre to a rally at the Department of Defence in Ottawa They are protesting low level North Atlantic Treaty tion NATO bomber testing over their Labrador homeland Approximately 18 flights cross over the land disrupting human and animal life The number of flights are expected to double over the next year A group of Ontario walkers who left Windsor on Sept will join the walkers on their protest march Ontario participants will arrive Po4t By Hughes guess we like most professions take a lot for granted when it comes to assuming that the general public understands what we are tallqng about and what our jargon means Over the years I have been quite aware of this real estate and find I sometimes over simplify rather than have people misunderstand me However I cam across the use of a term the other day that I instantly recognized as being a term that most people would not understand unless they lived With a real estate sales agent or had asked about the term before The word that could give you a lol of trouble is Board We in real eslate use the term freely and we all understand it within the system but I would a guess that most of the general public don t have a clue about how this word can affect them In Georgetown and Acton and surrounding area our real estate Board is the Brampton Board This means that all listings that are put on the MLS system with a Board Member will appear in our MLS books However if by chance you have chosen an agent that works say for the Toronto Board you home will not appear in our books Is this a problem You bet it is You see homes that are not in our MLS books more often than not can get overlooked by our local sales reps and then that home will not get shown You lose all that exposure to your local reps by not having a local rep put your home on the market So an important question to ask your sales rep of choice is What Board are you on Providing that you get the right answer you are OK but if you hear another Board mentioned you could be for a nasty surprise We boarder on several other Boards up here one being the MiltonOakville Board the Board and the Guleph Board Now if you hear a statement like I can interboard your listing then you had better check this out Just where is the placement in the book of your listing when it is in terboarded is it in the same section as all the other listings that would be your neighbours homes that are on the local board or is it in a special section that is just for If it is in a different section stop right there and consider if you are doing the right thing Homes listed in a different section rarely get the studied glances that you would get if in the regular section In my own case I can tell you that I have looked at our Out Of Board section about twice in the past year and that was only because I was bored Now after I tell you all this I am about to confuse you a little by let ting you know that there is underway at present a new system that will let some Boards co operate with each other with their listings but this is far from ALL Boards and il is still in the early stages of organizing it So to be sure you understand what is happening with the listing of your home be sure to ask the appropriate questions and be sure you get the right answers before you sign on the dotted line In this market you need all the help you can get with getting your home sold Homes Sold Creatively Hughes a Sales Representathe with Brand WILLOW LANE
