- What I can do for you …..
I will do a market evaluation on your home comparing others in your neighbourhood to yours. I compare your home to others in your neighbourhood and come up with a fair market value. I also take a walk thru of the home and let you know what it is you should be doing to ensure the home sells quickly and for the best price.
So remember before putting the “For Sale” sign out front – call me as its Free and you can save your self hassle.- What to fix …Before starting I will sit down with you and determine if they are any pressing issues that need to be dealt with first. Over the years I have developed many relationships with tradesman and handyman and we can usually get the issue rectified without breaking the bank.
It is important to get these fixes done as it may give potential buyers the confidence to evaluate your property higher.The biggest question I get asked is: should I renovate my property or just sell it as is? The truth is “it depends” on what the “current condition” of the property is and the market. Whilst it is important to address critical issues that a buyer would care about such as plumbing, paint, floors, tiles, and roofing – It is important to ensure the investment in these repairs is returned.
- Staging your home….Don’t underestimate the importance of general appeal.
As a professional in the real estate industry important areas of the home that buyers pay special attention to, are: the living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and bathroom.De-personalize your home to appeal to more buyers- Remove personal mementos like family photos, trophies, or souvenirs that will prevent buyers from picturing the home as theirs.
Remove your extra stuff to ensure your home looks bigger and the architecture can be emphasized – Over the years everyone collects a fair amount of souvenirs. Pack up everything you don’t need anymore. A good way to get rid of extra stuff is to rent a storage unit until the house sells or use the garage.
Expect potential buyers to open closets and cabinets.Serious cleaning will be needed before showing the house to buyers. A clean home conveys to buyers that you have taken good care of your house.Get rid of odors – Pay attention to odors as it is definitely a no-no. This becomes a real challenge if you are still living in your home. If you have a scheduled showing, pay attention to what you cook in the kitchen as it can make the whole house smell. Cigarette smoke also clings to furniture, fabric, and walls.
Prep the rooms – If you are still living in the home I can help you prep it as you want people to envision themselves living in the home. Rooms must show a defined purpose with as little furniture as possible. Consider this: nice hotel rooms are comfortable, appealing, but impersonal.
- This also includes:
Taking care of your exterior/yard – A messy exterior will give buyers the impression that the owner did not take care of the property. Most serious buyers will not make an offer if they think they will have to sink a whole lot of money in the house to live thereIncrease curb appeal – The goal of curb appeal is to make the house look attractive enough for potential buyers to want to see what’s inside.

Discreet Marketing is an industry phrase that you may not have heard of. It refers to properties that are available to buy, but not advertised via MLS, Google, TV or any other public media.
The motivation for keeping a property sale private can be for a number of reasons. After all, by publicly advertising it would make sense you get more buyers, word of mouth etc.
Below is a list of reasons:
Ease Disruption To Children/Family, Tenants and Staff.
This goes without saying by advertising in the public domain a stranger could come up to the business and mention the sale.
Imagine if your tenants had just spent thousands in renovations or, are wondering if they should renew the lease.
Most sellers would rather be the first to tell the aforementioned group rather than them having to find out through “the Grapevine.”
Getting The Price Right
Discreet marketing allows YOU to test the price of a property. I will selectively arrange viewings with suitable buyers, feedback from which can guide you.
Stops the Gossip
In small communities people prefer to avoid frequent questions and conversations with their neighbours about their reason for moving.
Public Advertising needs photos.
In some cases tools and equipment are trades secrets. If the business has proprietary methods they do not want competitors seeing that.
Also, when selling your property some people are not comfortable about displaying the personal possessions to the general public.
Only Interested In Quality Buyers
In my experience most people who go thus route don’t want to waste time with lots of viewings and only want buyers who are in a good position to purchase.
The answer is simple in 22 + years I have amassed a vast array of clients who are looking to buy. They would prefer quick and easy sales without the hassle of waiting in line.
