Bad Real Estate Agents in Disguise
I classify bad Real Estate Agents are those sneaky Real Estate Agents who claim to help you, but really just looking to get the commission.
How do these bad Real Estate Agent masquerade as good ones?
1. The Bad Real Estate Agent pretends to be a Hard Worker
If you hire a Real Estate Agent, you want them to work hard for your money because you do. And Real Estate Agent knows that. Salesmen know that. But working hard never guarantees success. A Real Estate Agent, like all people, should be have some level of workmanship, but not to the point of slavery. Do not be gullible enough to believe your Real Estate Agent will climb mountains for you. It is just a job. He should have other priorities. Do not base your Real Estate Agent selection based on how hard they work or how must time they spend with you. If your Real Estate Agent is wasting too much time pretending to work hard, then your Real Estate won’t have time to actually get you valuable information you need to make an informed decision. The moment the contract is signed and the agent get the commission, Bad Real Estate Agents will run to the next sucker and never want to talk or help you anymore.
2. Charmer
Every now and then, you’ll meet the person who knows exactly what to say. He knows the words you are looking for you and make you feel comfortable to trust him. When trusting an agent, don’t look for how kind, gentle, or how witty he is. Look for the results. What has the Real Estate Agent really done for you?
3. Not providing sufficient information.
Information is vital for you to make important decisions. Bad Real Estate Agents will hide information in order to get you to make the decision to buy the house. To make sure the agent is being absolutely honest with you and providing you all the information you need to know, always have another reliable source to verify the information.
One good way to find honest Real Estate Agents is through referrals. If you friends have experience good results from the agent, then at least you found someone honest and you know the results.
Do NOT go through the Internet and pick the first agent you see or the agent that has the most advertisements. They are just spending marketing money, which they intend to recover from you. I especially find the ones that are top ranked search engines to be the most conniving, especially the Mississauga location!!!
Now for the good news. If you are fair and you are looking for a human being Real Estate Agent and you treat them like a human being with no slavery expectation, you should be able to find a decent Real Estate Agent to help you. There are indeed plenty of honest agents that are really hiding because they are too busy helping their clients. You have to scout around and do a lot of homework to find that close-to-perfect agent that matches your needs. Using the information in this article, you should be able to filter out the bad agents.
Now, after all this discussion, one may even be asking whether you need a Real Estate agent. In private homes sellers, you do not. Only homes where sellers have a Real Estate Agent, you do need buyer’s Real Estate Agent to protect you. Whether you want to purchase home through private or through an agent should not be a deciding factor. Simply look at the house you want to buy and the price you want to buy it at. If your selected house requires a Real Estate Agent, then you should get one, too.
If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to e-mail me at admin@freerentalads.ca
You are also certainly welcome to e-mail me your good and bad home buying experiences. I may or may not choose to post them up.
For those who have not read my part 1, please do so.
My next articles will take a closer look at tactics Bad Real Estate Agents pull.

How to begin your career as a landlord
Taking the risk to be become a landlord can be a hard stepping stone. There is no course on it and there is no certification to ensure this career can be successful.
Partially, the reason for this is because being landlord is actually quite easy. Some people have called making money while you sleep. Well, I haven’t reached that point in my life, but as I get better, it is really becoming that easy.

Top 11 Rules to remember about Renting out Houses – Simple Ideas that work
1. In Ontario, the law supports the Tenants. The law protects the tenants because they are the poor ones and the landlords are the rich ones.
2. The most important thing to do is find an honest, ethical tenant. Do not be too anxious to rent out to anyone. Often times, anxious behavior leads to poor tenants and your home gets destroyed. You may believe you can sue the Tenant, but if the tenant has no money, then there is nothing to sue.

The biggest problem with rent raises
The Ontario Rental Tribunal sets maximum amount a landlord can raise their tenants every 12 months. This amount is often no more than an inflation raise of 2% – 3% of the current rent.
Because the amount is so small, I really don’t want bother raising rent on my reliable, responsible tenants.
At the same time, if you, as a landlord request last month’s rent as a security deposit, the Ontario Rental Tribunal requires that you pay the interest back to the tenant on it on annual basis.

I must be really good at keeping my tenants because my tenants have been with me for may years and the tenants I don’t want, have often left within less than four months.
So the advice I am about to offer must have some merit.
First and foremost, I care about my tenants. I care about my tenants because they put their trust in me and accept me as their property manager. I go the extra mile to make sure my tenants are happy with where they are staying and compromise with their needs.
However, o

Should a landlord include Cable TV and Internet as part of their rental agreement?
One may believe that more services attract more renters. I use to believe that. To me, I thought it would be more cost effective if I manage the Internet and cable for my renters since I knew how to get the best deal. Then, I could increase the rent because I was providing Internet and Cable TV.
I was right in that I knew how to get the best deal, but I was wrong in that it was more cost effective.

What is the purpose of a rental contract?
Many people believe the purpose of a rental contract is to ensure each party commits to their part of the deal and to find a way to sue each other if the other party fails.
That is NOT the purpose a rental contract. Fact is, the law in Canada is designed such that petty cash lawsuits are discouraged. Often times, you will spend more on the lawsuit than getting the rewards from the lawsuit.
