Selling

Your Guide to Selling a Home.

Selling your home is about the marketing system and approach.
  
Your needs, interests and objectives will always be my top priority as I learn what is important to you. Reliable information and solid advice will be provided so you are able to make an informed decision when it comes time to sell. Important to know, I will always work for your best interest at every stage including development and implementation of marketing plan, negotiation of purchase offers, and finally, completion of the transaction.
 

Home evaluation and pricing

We compare your home to what is listed and sold.

Pricing is done through a market evaluation, otherwise known as the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). It is arrived through a comparison of similar homes that have recently sold. Similarities would include such things as similar architecture, general floor plan, age, lot size, upgrades and location. The main goal is achieve a maximum selling price with a minimum time on the market.

Home Marketing in action

I use a multi-tiered system to maximize exposure to prospective buyers.

Within hours of signing the listing, the multi-level marketing plan goes into action. You can expect all kinds of activity as the following steps come into play; signage on the property, multiple listing service (MLS) information posted on the internet, professional interior and exterior photographs, floor plan by Measure Masters if required, posting on multiple websites, staging if required, feature sheets and brochures, open houses including agent and public, print media advertising, presence at Sutton kiosk and the list goes on. Marketing implementation is an ongoing process which will be reviewed and adjusted as required.

Staging and getting your home ready

Putting your homes best face forward is important.

In order to get the very best price for your home and get it sold quickly, it's important to take a step back and really look at your home. Things like de-cluttering, a good cleaning, lighting and street appeal all matter. Spending a few dollars can often mean returns of thousands in your selling price. I believe strongly in the staging process and provide a free in home staging consultation as part of my service.
