It's an awesome location!

Thanks

why dont u sell..with the market the way it is, that place will sell for a pretty penny. u might be hard pressed to find a renter that wants to pay 2200 a month, unless its furnished, then short trem rentals might work

[5hift]

haha lemme guess the next post .... do u have a real estate agent yet?

[Pacman]

Sounds like a great place. I'm not interested in renting it out, but if you have some photos of the inside and outside of the building I'd love to see them. I like to live vicariously though people who have nice pimpy places.

Plus with the market so hot you wouldn't even have to use a used car salesman to sell it - you could keep all the dough to yourself.

You ever try buying and or selling yourself? I did and sometimes the hassles isn't worth the money. A "good" real estate agent is worth their weight in gold.

[steelo]

Sure have.

It's not that big a deal doing your own footwork in order to save a minimum of several thousand dollars.

[ricosuave]

and as a note to any landlords, 'month-to-month' is not something that you want to take on lightly.

a lease contract, even for 2 or 3 months, is still a far smarter option from a landlords point of view.

hahah so nieve, there is a reason why realtors sell 95% of the homes in canada.;)

[lastprodigy]

dont bother renting unlesss you get at least a one year lease agreement, better yet, go through a rental agency, much easier this way

How am I naive smart guy? Anyone with a little bit of patience and common sense can do your job. I'd rather put that commision right into my own pocket than give it to some Herb Tarlek in a stained polyester sportcoat. Thanks anyway. :thumbsup:

Just out of curiousity, whats the apartment number (PM if you want), I lived in one of the penthouses at RMC for the first 5 years of my life. Some great memories.

ok try it, thats why out of 4500 of us in alberta, only 10% make decent money. if its that easy why isnt everyone rich....its not an easy job at all. You can have all the patients and common sense in the world, doesnt meant your gonna sell homes. sell your house on your own. All the power to you.

Man, I tried buying a house on my own without a realtor. I made a few offers and nothing. (usually got there too late)
Then this one guy (by owner sale) made me a deal, tried to get him to sign with a lawyer to make if official for a week ended up telling me he wanted more money and asked me if i wanted to renegotiate a week later... I told him to go Fack himself. Once i did get a realtor I had a deal within 1 week! I Will NEVER do another transaction without a realtor!

Sorry this is way off topic

[JordanLotoski]

see a smart guy, and it costs him nothing out of his pocket dirctly to use a realtor, sure there is a fee factor'd into the price. but at the end of the day its a home your buying not a new pair of jeans. its the biggest thing u can buy, why not make that transaction smooth, and as stressless as possible.

[dezinr]

I'm guessing we are all adults here. So has anyone thought maybe we could leave this gentleman's thread alone.

If you wanna go at eachother start another thread. It is not fair to tarninsh someones thread to prove who is or is not better than the next guy.

[JordanLotoski]

eaither way its being bumped to the top, if someones intrested they will see and PM him. its a chat fourm, take a look at 99% of the other threads.

[Hakkola]

Hmm, $2200 a month sounds like a lot, but with a roomate that's only $1100 and that's possible.

I'd be interested in staying a few months, always wanted to live in that building, Penthouse would be great.

I just need a roomate :D

[JordanLotoski]

its an awesome building and the ladies at manage the place are great. i lived there for a year when i moved here.

[rogue]

yea awesome building and if you work downtown it is well worth the rent, you arent only renting a house you are getting a lifestyle that may be more suited to you, rent it see how you like then buy one.:D

[avow]

i would love to see some pictures of the place, post them for sure or e-mail at [email protected]

[nit78]

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for all the emails, I will try to get some pictures in the next few days.

As for selling, I have no intent to sell it anytime soon, just plan on renting it. I know $2200 might sound hight but I know for a fact the other penthouses are going for $2200-$2700. Apparently the US consulate is located in the building and the govenrment is willing to pay the rent.

[dezinr]

Good idea to hold on to it. There is gonna be a big push soon in the east village, especially with the ptoential of the urban campus, which will really help to bring more life to the east end of downtown as well as to the core in general. So it will be an even better investment to have over the next few years.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Rocky Mountain Court (even at this price) is one of the best bargains in the city. Just looking at how central it is in downtown alone, and (big feature), its connected by the Plus 15. I remember when my dad used to work at City Hall he used to walk to work all inside for only 10 minutes/come home for lunch etc.

This building is also exceptionally built, old school solid. All Concrete. Haha, I wonder if it just might be the same one that I lived in as a kid (from 1985-1994), the rent at that time was $1200, so in a sense, considering the increase in the prices of real estate/inflation, its a pretty good price.

[NoFlo]

using a realtor is NOT always the best solution.
there are situations where using one is ideal and other situations when they aren't.

i sold my house in 6hrs after listing with mls (thru realtor).
i did not want to b/c i knew for a fact that my area was a hot area for real estate. i only went with them b/c of convenience.
cost me $10,000. WAS NOT WORTH IT in this case.

my uncle tried to sell himself in a not as hot area. he was dicked around for weeks by lying potential buyers. it wasnt until 3 mths later when he decided to list, that a serious buyer came thru for him. he never did list with MLS though. just when he decided to list that 1 day later it sold. in his case, an agent would have helped.

say if you used a realtor to buy a new home in a new community (ie. walk into one of those showhomes) and had a brand new home built.. does the realtor get commision from the sale from the builder?

I built with Cardel.. and it was VERY hard to move the price.. I've had co-workers and friends build with them as well... and they either got no movement or very little at all.. is that normal? I can see a price tag move during a sale of an old house.. and I can see that if they're building it new to your specs, they dont have to negotiate much.
