Description
There s so much more to the Cowichan Valley than what you see from the highway. In 2004 the Cowichan Valley was chosen #1 for country living in Canada by Harrowsmith Country Life magazine*. It is conveniently located 45 minutes from both Nanaimo and Victoria, but is protected from the encroachment of the big city by the Malahat.
Every week I discover new neighbourhoods nestled throughout the valley, each offering its own version of peaceful island living. As more and more people come to visit us, and more and more Canadians retire, they too will be looking to find that perfect little part of Vancouver Island they can settle into.
Between my wife and I, we have bought and sold privately a few times now and know how easy it can be, and how good it feels. The only time I paid a realtor was upon the sale of a unique property up island. It was particularly hard to hand him over $13,000 since I had found the buyers myself. The real estate market has changed—77% of buyers now start their real estate search online, but the high commissions realtors charge have not changed.
Have you ever been listed with a realtor and thought, I know more about my house than they do. Why couldn t I show my own house to potential buyers? Or during a house deal have you ever thought, That would have been a lot easier if I could just talk to the buyer directly. You can, and you can save a lot of money by doing it.
