You have decided.  It is time to sell.  This is your home and you are on the verge of letting it become a product that will be poked, prodded, and critiqued.  The whole process can seem overwhelming and a little unnerving.  Even when you have good reasons for moving on, even when you are excited about the next step, selling your home and moving on is still a big deal that can bring a lot of mixed feelings.  I am here to help guide you through the process so that throughout it all you have a sense of confidence and peace of mind.

One of the most common complaints that I hear from both home buyers and home sellers is that Realtors don’t return their phone calls.  That always surprises me when I hear it.  I understand from personal and professional experience how stressful a home sale can be.  I work very hard to be available to my clients in a timely manner.  You will be able to reach me by phone, e-mail, text message and even Facebook to get the answers you need.  That is my commitment to you.  I will endeavour to keep you updated on showing feedback in timely manner.  My business is built on putting your needs as a client at the centre of what I do as a Realtor.   When you succeed in your goals, we both succeed.

You might be thinking that it could be a good thing to sell your house yourself.  You might wonder if working with me is the best option for you. My clients feel comfortable with me and appreciate the knowledge and experience I bring to the process of selling their house as well as my dedication to customer service.  Sometimes people wonder, though, whether they should sell their house themselves or use a discount brokerage. Let me offer you the best reasons to work with me, as opposed to selling yourself or using another Realtor:

Solid research and preparation, both in pricing your home and getting it ready for sale.  The two things that we can most influence are the price at which we will choose to list your property and how you prepare the house for sale.  I will offer you expert advice for both, including consulting a home stager if we decide that that it is necessary to give your property that extra edge.

Proper exposure and marketing, including at least one open house in the first month of listing.  Also, professional marketing materials at the house leave the buyer with a positive impression when compared to other listings.  Front page exposure for at least a week on this web page, as well as exposure on our company web site.

Expert offer negotiation, so that you get the best price possible.

After sale services until keys are exchanged to ensure the deal firms up and moves smoothly to closure.

I work on contingency, paying for the marketing, and paying my brokerage for all their services to make sure you get the best possible price for your home.  I only get paid when your home sells.

Once you’ve chosen me to sell your home, you can count on me to:

Put your home on the market quickly – I am organized & prepared to work intensively for you to meet your timelines.

Take care of all the paperwork and organize all the details from helping you get your house showing ready, to taking high quality pictures, having the sign put up quickly, preparing marketing materials, and having an open house in a timely manner as well as bringing agents from my company through the house to preview it.  For unique properties we will discuss alternative marketing strategies to give your home proper exposure targeted to the most likely buyers.

To the best of my ability, knowledge and experience, advise you about your legal rights, sale options, and obligations, and refer you to a legal professional when circumstances require it.

Check in with you frequently to let you know what’s happening behind the scenes, who has shown interest in your home and what is being done on an ongoing basis to actively market it.

Negotiate offers to get you the best price and the best terms.
