The Process of Selling Your Home

STEP ONE: Decided when to sell. 

• What are the market conditions?
• What is the timeframe you are aiming to sell within?
• Are you also purchasing a home? 
• Should you sell your current house before buying the next one?

STEP TWO: Find a Realtor who is right for you. 

• It's crucial to find a Realtor that understands what's most important to you and your family. It's also critical that your Realtor has the determination (and competence) to make sure your best interests are looked after.  Fortunately, you have landed on our site which means you are headed in the right direction. 

STEP THREE: Understand the market value of your house.

• Part of what we do involves educating you on market activity that may impact the value of your home. 
• In order to be able to do this accurately, our team regularly inspects houses that come on the market. It isn't enough to just study listings online. A home can present very differently virtually compared to reality. By personally inspecting comparable properties, it gives us a thorough awareness of variables that could potentially influence the sale of your home.
• It's important to get the price right since a new listing typically receives the most amount of attention within the first 14 days of being on the market. Setting the price too low means you aren't maximize the potential proceeds of sale while setting the price too high means missing out on potential buyers that may have been suitable for your home.   

STEP FOUR: Review and complete the paperwork. 

• We will guide you through this (and every) part of the process by explaining all the details in a way that is easy to understand. We ensure all questions are thoroughly answered to ensure you are always making informed decisions. 

 STEP FIVE: Prepare your home for sale.

STEP SIX: Market and present your house for sale. 

• We actively market your home via a variety of different mediums to get the highest level of exposure possible
• Our office contacts you to see whether potential showing requests are suitable for you

STEP SEVEN: Receive an offer.

• Review and discuss all the terms and any conditions.
• Decide on one of three options: accept offer, reject offer, sign back with a counter-offer
• This can be an emotional time which is why it is crucial for you to have a professional with an objective perspective - understanding what's important to you - working to protect your best interests.   

STEP EIGHT: Complete the sale. 

• We put a sold sign up and send the paperwork to all relevant parties. 
• Your lawyer will arrange to meet with you a few days prior to closing in order to sign documents to transfer the title to the buyer
• On the closing date, your lawyer will receive and distribute the proceeds from the sale
