let's find your new home

Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.

REALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.

Setting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.

REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.

Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.

When you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.

Dennis Bock sells Real Estate in the Lakes District

This includes Burns Lake, Granisle, Topley, Decker Lake, and South Francois.  Dennis is an excellent choice. He moved to Burns Lake in 1975 as a teacher and knows the area. 

Dennis’ past teaching and administrative experience has helped him develop a passion for helping.  He has developed an understanding of clients’ needs and offers help guiding clients with the details needed in buying and selling property.  Dennis strives to give information about choices and allows the customer make their own informed decisions.

Moving to Burns Lake??

One way I help clients is to keep them informed with what properties are available using  PCS ( Private Client Services) 

Private Client Services (PCS) allows REALTORS® to quickly and easily give clients access to a personalized website.  This website is private to each client, allowing customized individualized searches. As matching listings are added or changed clients are automatically notified with an email.   Once PCS is set up the client is automatically notified that new or changed listings are available with a link to their private website provided by email.  Save or bookmark this link and you can go to this site at any time.   I am told that PCS searches will not send another notification till the client have opened the last notification.  When the client has accessed the site and reviewed the listings, an automatic notification will be sent when new listings are added or changes are made to the system.  You can change the criteria at any time and you also have the ability to deactivate it.  

To set it up, look for the Tab at the top right of the page “Notify me of new listings”
