Why not? (corner lots will be assessed)

In Alberta, real estate professionals are required to follow the Residential Measurement 780-414-1635 [email protected] Standard (RMS) when listing a residential property for sale. The RMS contains nine prin- ciples that enable real estate professionals, as well as buyers and sellers, to determine and compare the size of residential properties. The RMS sets out the specific parts of a residential property that can be included in its size for listing purposes. Above grade levels are the levels of a residence that are entirely above grade. Below grade levels are the floor levels of a residence that are partly or fully below grade. If any portion of a level is below grade, the entire level is considered below grade. Below grade spaces include lower levels and basements. The RMS size of a property is, essentially, the sum of its above grade levels. Below grade levels are not included in the RMS area. Without the RMS in place, there would be little consistency in how real estate profession- als, and their sellers, measure and describe their property. Some may want to include their basement (unfinished or not), some may include an enclosed sunroom, while others may include the space created by a bow or bay window.

The RMS provides a consistent means of measuring, and describing, residential property size in Alberta.

Sellers, and their real estate representatives, are welcome to include additional measure- ment information in their listings, but the primary size listed in the listing must be the size according to the RMS.

Sellers need to remember that size isn’t the only factor that will affect a property’s list or selling price. Other factors include location, condition, quality of finishing, layout, and even type of ownership. You may not be able to include the square footage of your basement in the total square footage of your home, but the features of your home will set it apart from other properties. Size matters, but it’s not the only thing that matters.

We appreciate the time and commitment you make to our community. I know some of you plan to move on leaving an opportunity for someone else to make their mark. We want to thank you for your support and contribution to our community; your knowledge and experience will be missed.

In writing this I worry I may have missed someone; if I have please know that you are not forgotten - every board member and volunteer makes a lasting impression on our vibrant community and I extend my sincerest of apologies if I missed you.

This brings my report to an end, please remember to support our community by buying a membership and if you have been thinking of volunteering there is no time like the present.

Thank you, Kris Cramer

Hospice, one of many options for end-of-life care

In Alberta, there are many options to get palliative and end of life care—your home, a hospital, a continuing care centre, or a hospice.

Hospices are places made to feel like home while giving specialized end of life care, 24/7. The care teams focus on comfort and quality of life, and can help patients and their family cope with feelings about serious illness. In a hospice, palliative care is provided by health professionals, volunteers, and spiritual counsellors. Services include: • managing pain • helping with daily living activities (personal care) • emotional, psychological and spiritual support.

Before accessing palliative care or a hospice, a health care team discusses with patients on what’s important to them and where Location: Sports field located on the corner they would like to be at the time of their illness where they may of St. Gabriels School Road and 106 Ave. either have: a life expectancy of less than 3 months; signed a form saying they do not want to be resuscitated or a need to be in a bed or chair most of the time. A patient’s choice may change as an illness changes, and individuals can get palliative and end of life care at any time.

There’s also a new program that’s helping to bring emergency care to people who get palliative and end of life care in their homes. The EMS Assess, Treat, Refer program has Emergency Medical Services, home care clinicians, doctors, and families working to- gether to help people stay in their homes if that’s what they wish.

Contact Health Link at 811 for more information on hospices or programs that provide end of life care in your area, or for eligibility. June 2017 www.communityleaguenews.com Southeast Voice 17 Ask Charles

I hired a real estate professional to sell my home. The seller representation agreement (listing agreement) I signed is for four months. It’s only been two months, but I want to terminate the agreement, can I?

The short answer is yes, but it can be complicated. The agreement you signed is a legal contract between you and a real estate brokerage to sell your home. It contains a start date and an end date, as well as provisions for ending the agree- ment early. If you and your real estate professional agree in writing to end the agreement before the end date, the agreement immediately ends.

If you change your mind about selling your home and your real estate professional agrees to end the agreement early, you may be responsible for reimbursing your real estate professional for reasonable expenses they incurred while your property was for sale. Those potential expens- es need to be listed on the agreement when you sign it; your real estate professional can’t add them after the fact. These expenses may include, but aren’t limited to, reimbursement of advertising, measurement, or photography costs.

But, what happens when you want to end your agreement early and your real estate professional doesn’t agree? If you want to end your agreement early because you want to work with a different real estate brokerage, there could be consequences. For example, if you begin working with another real estate brokerage, and your property sells, your first real estate brokerage could make a claim that commissions are payable to them since the brokerage didn’t agree to release you from the obligations of your agreement. You could find yourself owing commission to two brokerages.

Think carefully about why you want to end your agreement early. If it’s because you genuinely changed your mind about selling, perhaps your employment situation changed, be open and upfront with your real estate professional. You won’t be the first seller who has a change of heart or financial circumstances, but your real estate brokerage is under no requirement to release you from your agreement. Podiatric foot care! Another possibility is that your real estate professional may agree to a conditional termination of your agreement. Conditional terminations typically require the seller to agree in writing 780-466-5290 that they won’t re-list their property for sale with another real estate brokerage before the Dr. Jeannette Furtak, DPM end of their original agreement. #302 Capilano Centre If you want to end your agreement early because you and your real estate professional are not working well together or you have concerns about their performance, RECA encourages 9945 – 50 Street you to speak to their broker. * Nails, callous, heel pain, toe problems “Ask Charles” is a monthly question and answer column by Charles Stevenson, Director * Foot orthotics of Professional Standards with the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA), www.reca.ca.
