🖼 Ever heard the expression "a picture is worth

🖼 Ever heard the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words?" Well, nowadays a professionally shot VIDEO 🎥 on social media is worth even more! As a REALTOR® you know that video is important on many platforms, for many reasons. Here is one of them:

"It's tempting to skip the expense of shooting and editing a video, but online video is an important element of home marketing. Think about it: Home buyers are visual buyers, and if done well, a video creates an emotional connection with them that they might not have from just a photo-based listing.

YouTube videos also improve your website's ranking in search engines like Google – a common place where home buyers and renters start their search for a new home."

"If you’re retiring, looking to cut back on expenses, or perhaps have a bit too much extra space now that the kids have flown the coop, downsizing to a smaller home might be a smart choice.

Regardless of your reasons for downsizing, it’s enough to make you wish there was someone who could do the hard work for you and make the whole process that much easier (like, say, a REALTOR®).

However, these benefits don’t come without a cost. In addition to your mortgage, you’ll need to plan for the maintenance fees, also known as condo fees. This article will look at what condo fees are, when they can be reassessed, and what they mean for your mortgage, specifically related to an apartment-style condominium building..."
