The End of School

30th June 2009

When preparing to graduate from high school, there are a lot of different events that you will want to remember, whether it is school events, graduation itself, or parties. One way to organize and hold onto memories made in that time is by putting photos and other mementos into scrapbooking albums. scrapbooking is inexpensive and fun method to organize little keepsakes like ticket stubs, photos, cards, or invitations. Though scrapbooking is a fun hobby to get involved in during this busy time, the months surrounding graduating from high school are filled with a lot of other responsibilities.

Before graduating from high school, it is important to make sure that all of your credits are in order and you will be receiving your diploma at the ceremony. Many students come to the last months of their senior year and then realize there has been some sort of miscalculation of their credit hours. Then they are required to finish the hours in summer school. If this is the case, do not get too upset. Sometimes schools will make an exception and allow students to walk in the graduation ceremony with their classmates still. Then after completing the credit hours, your diploma will be mailed to you.

Then of course there is preparing for the actual graduation ceremony. Most schools require you to buy the cap and gown months in advance. It is important to check that your cap and gown actually arrived with the order. Your school will most likely require you to wear certain attire underneath you gown, so you want to make sure that you have something suitable. Also, you will be required to attend practice for the ceremony to make sure that everyone is on the same page with the formation for the entrance. Another aspect of the graduation ceremony that you need to be aware of is that a lot of schools allocate a certain number of tickets for each student to allow family to attend. If the number of tickets the school gives you is not enough for your family, sometimes other students may have extras that they could give to you.

After graduation, it is time to focus on the future. If you have decided to go to college, it is time to prepare for that. It is important to make sure you are in communication with admissions counselors at the school you are planning to go to so you can be aware of events occurring over the summer. You will want to be sure of the date of your orientation and registration so you can attend and schedule classes for the fall semester. If you have choosen to go into the labor force, it is important to begin applying for openings in whatever field you are looking into.

All of this process can be overwhelming and really stressful. It is important to focus on all the good and cherish the time before moving forward with whatever life choice you have decided on. The summer after graduating from high school should be filled with memories and a lot of fun.

Just found the perfect home for you and your family, but not sure how to find your way through all the arrangements? We will help you with some useful tips in this article. As I have more than 25 years of experience as a realtor from Toronto, I can imagine how confused a person might feel when they find out there are 15 or sometimes even more people who want to purchase the same property. Of course these tips will not guarantee you a success, but they could help you to avoid costly faults.

How to get pre-qualified

Prospective clients who can get prequalified for a bank loan always have a better chance of winning the deal than applicants without a proper financial background. Of course, it wouldn’t make a good impression if your financing was not sure and the seller found out about it - in that case all other tricks won’t be able to save you.

Get to know what or who the seller wants

Knowing what or who the seller is looking for is essential, because you don’t want to waste your time with a seller that has terms which you cannot meet. Thus we always suggest to our clients that they should try to get all the information available about the conditions of the house sale. If the conditions are not acceptable for you, it is advised to try another offer instead. However, if you can satisfy all the requirements, contact your realtor and ask for help writing a letter to go with your proposal. That will give you a chance to let the seller find out more about you and will highlight the positive aspects of your offer.

Don’t underestimate the price

Now it is important not to propose an offer that is significantly below the fair value of the house, as this would probably make you an unsuccessful candidate and the owner would choose another buyer. Offering a better price later might not even help in this case. Instead shoot about $1,800 to $4,800 higher over the highest expected bid. Let’s say the highest bid is expected to be $470,000. Try adding some money and come to $473,164 - the offered value doesn’t have to be an even number!

Down payment

In any case it makes you look trustworthy if you can pay from at least 10% to 20% of the home price in advance. Of course in most cases you can try to renegotiate the final amount of your down payment with the seller after the contract has been secured and usually with a success outcome. The crucial point is that you actually pay the deposit after you sign the contract, otherwise you wouldn’t seem to be a respectable buyer.

Good faith deposit

This is a really useful tip, however strong it may seem. Try to make the earnest money deposit as big a part of the down payment as possible (this deposit is not reversible if you back out later). It doesn’t matter to you anyway, because the earnest money deposit is the ground of the down payment in any case, but for the owner it means a lot. It tells the owner that you really want to go through with the deal. Since the down payment is easily renegotiable after the deal has been closed, the good faith deposit is what really shows how much you care about that property.

Propose a short rent-free stay

In the summary accompanying your offer, propose a free-post occupancy agreement to the seller in case they need a some time in the property after it’s been sold to settle their affairs. As this is a very solid proposal, it might be the last thing that makes the seller decide for your offer.
