Hi Folks! 

I'm feeling the holiday spirit and I've decided to gather a few gifts (that I love) together to give a HUGE thank you to everyone supporting Warren Chase Real Estate. It was an amazing year and I appreciate each and every one of you that helped make this year a success. One lucky person gets it all!

What are the gifts? Things that I love!:

Power Tools! (Brand new in box Makita 18V six-piece set including a driver, hammer drill, angle grinder, sawzall, skill saw, flashlight, 2 x 3.0Ah lithium ion batteries, and bag.)

Beer! (Heineken, Corona, Blue Buck, & Alexander Keith)
Scotch! (Glenfiddich)
Tequila! Jose Cuervo (Who invited him!?)

December 20th I will announce the winner using a random number generator and I will personally deliver the gifts on December 21st.

RULES:

1. Like the Warren Chase Real Estate facebook page, share this post, and tag a friend/family member in the comments section.

2. You must live in the Cowichan Valley (Malahat - Ladysmith, sorry Port Alberni and Victoria folks!) and be over 19 years of age.

3. If you've bought/sold a house with me in 2019 you are automatically entered TWICE and if you satisfy the requirements in rule #1 I will enter you again for a total of 3 entries. Spouses/partners are treated separately, so a household could potentially get a total of 6 entries.

Thankyou to Masika May Photography for the help making this presentation look pretty.

Someone's going to have a very Merry Christmas! Good luck everyone!!

4 tips for making 2019 the year you buy your first home!

1.   Make January the month you take a deep dive into your finances and get 2019 off to a good start! If you have a partner, get together with them and talk about your expenses together; Print out last year’s credit card and bank statements and figure out where all the money is going.  Which of these expenses are essential and which ones can you decrease (or even cut out altogether)?  You’ll be amazed at how much money you can save quickly when you’re both on the same page and trying to reach the common goal of being homeowner’s in 2019!  Just hoping your finances will improve in 2019 isn’t enough, take action!

2.    Set up an appointment with your bank or mortgage broker!  Seriously!  Even if you think you don’t have enough money for a down payment, they will let you know exactly what you need to do to get you in the house you want; and it will help solidify your 2019 goals.  My main point here is that goals tend to slide unless you take action (again)!

3.   Find a great REALTOR to work with - This is perhaps more important than any other time in your life.  The right REALTOR will know the industry, know your area, will fight tooth-and-nail to get you the best deal possible, can point out flaws in houses you’re interested in, and understands your needs. This is SO crucial because a good buy can kick your financial success into warp speed and alternatively a bad purchase can be catastrophic for a new home owner.  For example, buying in an up-and-coming area can lead to expediated appreciation in home value, which in turn can lead to more financial options like a home equity line of credit.  I remember searching for our first home and thinking I found an amazing deal… until my REALTOR at the time pointed out that the house’s foundation was severely compromised.  Thanks Dave ;).

4.   Formulate a game plan and write it down somewhere that you can view daily!  This one’s simple; Keep your eyes on the prize throughout the year. Also, statistics show when you write down your goals, they happen more often than just talking or thinking about them.

I wish you all an amazing 2019!!!
