Selling your home with me can be as easy as ordering poutine! (Classic poutine – none of this pickle, butter chicken stuff). I’ve mastered the art of turning real estate transactions into a seamless journey. I’m your go-to guide for a drama free selling experience. Here are the general steps to help you through the process and get a SOLD sign in your front yard.
Let’s Talk Money
- The first step is to determine the market value of your home by researching recent sales and current listings in your area.
- We then take this data, perform some fun calculations, and arrive at a magical price that attracts the most amount of buyers and gets you the highest amount.
Look Your Best
- Homes that show well sell quicker. I’m not saying do major renovations, but tending to any minor repairs and maintenance can make a world of difference.
- Declutter and depersonalize. Buyers want to envision themselves in “their new home”. This is hard to do when your dirty laundry is piled in a corner, or you have a science experiment growing in the sink.
Show(ing) Time
- Now that your home looks its best, it’s time to introduce it to the world, or local community. Our marketing plan includes professional photography, online listing services, and social media ads to mention a few. Get ready for showings, showings, and more showings.
- We will utilize feedback to help determine any adjustments to marketing and showcasing your home to achieve the maximum amount of offers.
Hand Reveal
- Here is where the fun really starts. Offers. We will review all offers together and determine which one best meets your needs.
- Be prepared to counter-offer. Our goal is to find mutually agreeable terms to make both parties happy. There is no losing in real estate.
The Third Wheel(s)
- The majority of offers will have conditions, and the majority of conditions involve third-parties. Accommodate the buyer, and give a reasonable amount of time for these conditions to be met.
- Address any issues that may arise (think home inspection), and negotiate repairs or adjustments if needed.
Keep It Legal
- Now’s the time to introduce the real estate lawyer of your choosing (check out this list).
- Their job is to conduct title searches, review contracts, and ensure a smooth closing process. My job is to provide them with all the information to make this possible.
The Final Stretch
- Your house is sold! Everything is happening behind the scenes now. Your lawyer will be coordinating with the buyer’s lawyer to transfer ownership and funds.
- Be prepared for closing costs such as legal fees, real estate commission, etc.
Congratulations! You just sold a house!
