Selling

This is also known as a CMA or “Comparative Market Analysis”. I will use a number of factors such as sq. footage, year built, number of bathrooms, ect, and compare with similar homes in the community to come up with an educated value of your home.   Once I complete this, I will share with you the comparable properties and explain exactly how I came up with the amount.  I am also happy to share any suggestions I may have to help improve the value before selling. (See tips below for a general list)

Good photos are crucial! Even an amazing house can look bad online if the photos are junk. It's one of the first impressions someone has on your home. The better the photos look, the better chance someone will book a viewing.   If you use me to list your house, this is a service that I pay for. No extra cost to you. As well, I always get a 3D tour done with photos. This is something that most buyers love as they can get an even better feel for the house. I say "free" because even if your house doesn't sell or you decide to take it off the market, I will never back charge for photos or marketing costs. I only get paid a commission if the house sells.

Now that people are viewing your property you should eventually get an offer. Generally the initial offer is low, so we will negotiate back and forth until you agree on a price and possession date. This is one of my favourite parts. I love to negotiate on your behalf and fight to get you the best deal.

​If you want to list your property and have it marketed world wide on REALTOR.ca, you will have to sign a contract called a "Seller Representation Agreement". This contract will outline the agents legal responsibilities, our fees, and the details of the home being sold. The general fee across the majority of real estate brokerages is 3.5% of the first $100k and %1.5 of the remaining balance for each agent involved (buying and selling). I fully understand this can seem like a lot but I want to be upfront. Please don't let this deter you until you speak with me first and I can further explain the commission structure.

As a licensed real estate agent I can get your listing marketed on REALTOR.ca and across every MLS search. I make sure to write a professional description of your home.  Being listed professionally through REALTOR.ca will guarantee you significantly more views than trying to sell through Facebook market place or Kijiji. Be prepared to keep your house clean and be ready to leave for showings. (you can stay, but its recommended you give the interested buyers some space). Don't worry though, anyone going to view your property will be accompanied by a licensed Realtor.

When your house sells, and all the purchase agreements are signed, you will need to contact a lawyer who practices real estate law to handle all the paperwork and transfer of funds. (You can expect to pay around $1500 for this)
