GUIDE FOR HOME SELLERS
While the home selling process may seem daunting, here’s what you need to know: your agent
and brokerage have your back. We will be with you every step of the way, providing invaluable
support and guidance to make the transaction as smooth and seamless as possible. And yes, that’s entirely possible.
Step 1
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEAM FOR THE JOB
Most sellers use a real estate agent, and while you don't have to, there are many good reasons why you should. An agent takes away the burden of dealing with all the details that go into selling, and works to get your home SOLD for the best price in the fastest time.
Step 2
GET DOWN TO THE DETAILS
First impressions are important, and putting your home's best foot forward from the start is crucial. We can provide you with expert advice on recommended repairs, and connect you to contractors who can make those repairs. Additionally, there are many simple steps you can take to allow your home to show well while minimizing capital investments that may not be recovered in the sale. In other words, creating the best outcome with the least financial effort on your part.
Step 3
PRICE IT RIGHT TO PROFIT MORE
Setting the right price for your home can be challenging. Too low, and you leave money on the table. Too high, and you scare away buyers. Our job is to assess not only the local market conditions, but also the intangibles that add to your home's overall value.
Step 4
PREPARE TO AMAZE
Potential buyers can't necessarily visualize the potential of a home. They need to see it. Luckily, there are several quick steps that can dramatically improve how buyers see your home. These include cleaning, decluttering, making minor repairs and staging. Think of it this way: everything you do now puts money in your pocket later.
Step 5
MAXIMIZE EXPOSURE TO BUYERS
Marketing your home to the widest audience possible takes more than just a sign in the front lawn. Professional Photography, Print & Social Media Marketing and Targeted Emails & Texts are all ways in which we'll ensure your home is seen by as many potential buyers as possible.
Step 6
SHOW IT OFF
As interest in your home rises, so will interest in seeing the real thing. You can maximize the showing experience for prospective buyers by creating a comfortable, inviting atmosphere and keeping your schedule as flexible as possible so that you can accommodate potential buyers.
Step 7
NEGOTIATE LIKE A MASTER
Negotiating truly begins before the first offer arrives. By effectively marketing your home and communicating its value, we can prime buyers to write favourable offers. Offers will include the offer price, desired inclusions/exclusions, amount of buyer's deposit, requested possession dates, conditions and the date the offer expires. Sounds like a lot? We're experts at negotiations!
Step 8
CLOSE THE DEAL
On closing day, legal ownership of the home is transferred to the buyer. Funds will be used to pay off your mortgage (if applicable), agent commissions and other closing costs. The remaining proceeds will be transferred to you in the form of a bank check or wired to your account upon successful closing. Rest assured that we will have prepared everything for a seamless transaction!
