Services for Sellers

Thinking about selling your home? I offer personalized support to help you navigate every step with confidence. From
pricing and prepping to negotiations and closing, I'm here to make the selling process smooth and stress-free.

The real estate process, in a nut shell:

1. Initial Consultation
We start by discussing your goals, timeline, and any updates needed to get your home market-ready. You’ll get a full picture of what to expect and how we can maximize your sale.

2. Home Evaluation & Pricing Strategy
We conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine your home’s value based on recent local sales and current market trends. Together, we set a pricing strategy designed to attract strong offers.

3. Preparing Your Home
This includes decluttering, light staging, professional cleaning, and any recommended touch-ups. Presentation matters—we want your home to shine in photos and in person.

4. Professional Marketing
Your home is listed on MLS and promoted through a mix of high-quality photography, virtual tours, social media, email campaigns, and more. The goal is to attract serious, qualified buyers.

5. Showings & Open Houses
We coordinate private showings and open houses, always keeping your schedule and comfort in mind. Feedback is shared so you stay informed.

6. Receiving & Reviewing Offers
When offers come in, we review all the terms—price, closing date, conditions, and more. I’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each offer and help you negotiate the best outcome.

7. Offer Acceptance & Conditions
Once you accept an offer, the buyer typically has a short period to meet any conditions (such as financing or home inspection). Once those are fulfilled, the deal becomes firm.

8. Closing Preparation
Your lawyer handles legal documents, mortgage payouts (if applicable), and coordinates with the buyer’s lawyer. We’ll also confirm what you need to do before handing over the keys.

9. Closing Day
On closing day, the transaction is finalized and the title is transferred. Once everything’s official, you hand over the keys—and celebrate the next chapter!

What Sellers Need to Know About Real Estate

1. Market Conditions Matter

Understand if it’s a buyer’s, seller’s, or balanced market. It affects pricing, timing, and your strategy.

7. All Offers Are Negotiable

Price, closing date, conditions—it’s all up for discussion. I’ll guide you through what’s worth accepting or countering.

2. Your Home’s Value Isn’t Just Sentimental

Pricing should reflect current market data, not just what you hope to get or what you’ve invested.

8. You Have Legal Responsibilities

You must disclose known defects and follow Ontario’s real estate laws. Your lawyer and I will help you stay compliant.

3. First Impressions Are Everything

Clean, decluttered, and well-staged homes show better and sell faster, often for more money.

9. Closing Costs Add Up

Expect to pay legal fees, real estate commissions, mortgage discharge fees (if applicable), and moving expenses.

4. Small Upgrades Can Make a Big Difference

Minor repairs, fresh paint, and curb appeal improvements often bring strong returns.

10. Your Next Move Should Be Lined Up Early

Whether you’re buying, renting, or downsizing, we’ll plan ahead so you’re not scrambling at closing.

5. Marketing Is More Than an MLS Listing

Professional photography, online exposure, and social media play a huge role in attracting buyers.

11. Choosing the Right REALTOR® Makes a Big Difference

From pricing and marketing to negotiation and closing, a good realtor can save you time, stress, and money.

6. You’ll Need to Accommodate Showings

Flexibility with showing times helps your home reach more potential buyers—faster.

Common Qs And As:

1. How much is my home worth?

Your home’s value is influenced by several key factors including current market conditions, recent comparable sales in your area, the location, size, features, and overall condition of the property.

To price it accurately and competitively, I’ll prepare a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). This includes a review of similar homes that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or didn’t sell—so we can position your property effectively.

The right pricing strategy helps attract serious buyers, generate interest quickly, and maximize your final sale price—all while avoiding the risks of overpricing or sitting on the market too long.

2. How long will it take to sell my home?

The time it takes to sell your home depends on several factors like current market conditions, your home’s location, price point, and how well it presents to buyers.

In a balanced or active market, most well-priced homes sell within a few weeks. However, if the market is slower or the home is priced too high, it may take longer. On the flip side, a thoughtfully prepared home that shows well and is priced strategically can generate strong interest right away—even multiple offers.

I’ll help you understand the current trends in your area and create a custom plan to help your home sell efficiently and for the best possible return.

3. What do I need to do before listing?

Before listing, we’ll walk through your home together to identify simple, high-impact improvements that can help it show at its best. This often includes cleaning, decluttering, depersonalizing, and tackling minor repairs—like fixing leaky faucets, touching up paint, or replacing burned-out light bulbs. We’ll also look at furniture placement and overall flow to make each room feel open, functional, and inviting.

While a full renovation isn’t necessary, creating a clean, polished, and move-in-ready feel helps buyers picture themselves living in the space. If needed, we can explore light staging or professional support to really elevate the presentation.

These small touches can make a big difference in your final sale price and how quickly your home sells.

4. Do I need to stage my home?

Staging can play a powerful role in helping your home sell faster and for a higher price. It’s all about creating a warm, welcoming space that allows buyers to imagine themselves living there. When a home feels inviting and move-in ready, it stands out—both in person and online.

Even simple, budget-friendly touches can make a big impact. Things like fresh linens, neutral decor, rearranged furniture, and tasteful accessories help highlight your home’s best features and make rooms feel more spacious and functional.

Whether we do light staging with what you already have or bring in a professional, the goal is the same: to create a polished, appealing atmosphere that captures buyers’ attention and encourages strong offers.

5. What are the costs involved in selling?

Selling your home comes with a few important costs to keep in mind beyond just commission. These may include legal fees for your real estate lawyer, mortgage discharge penalties if you’re paying off a loan early, moving expenses, and final adjustments for things like property taxes, utilities, or condo fees. While these costs can vary depending on your situation, I’ll provide a personalized breakdown so you can plan ahead with clarity and confidence—no surprises along the way.

6. Will I need to be home for showings?

No, you don’t need to be home for showings. In fact, it’s usually better if you’re not. Buyers tend to feel more comfortable exploring the space, asking questions, and imagining themselves living there when the seller isn’t present. I’ll take care of everything, and we’ll coordinate showing times that work with your schedule so it’s as smooth and stress-free as possible.

7. What happens if I get multiple offers?

That’s a great position to be in—and we’ll make the most of it! When multiple offers come in, it’s not just about who’s offering the highest price. I’ll help you carefully review each offer in detail, including the conditions (like financing or inspection), the proposed closing date, deposit amount, and the strength of the buyer’s financing or pre-approval.

Together, we’ll compare all the moving parts to ensure you’re choosing the offer that’s not only competitive, but also the most secure and aligned with your goals. My job is to guide you through this process with clarity and strategy—so you feel confident in the final decision.

8. Can I sell and buy at the same time?

Yes, you can sell and buy at the same time, but it takes thoughtful planning and timing. We’ll work together to coordinate both transactions so that everything aligns smoothly, whether that means buying first, selling first, or doing both in tandem.

Depending on your situation, options like bridge financing, temporary housing, or a flexible closing date can help manage the transition and reduce stress. I’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each approach and create a strategy that fits your goals, timeline, and financial comfort zone—so you can make your next move with confidence.

9. Do I have to accept the first offer?

Not at all! You’re never obligated to accept the first offer. You have the option to accept it, reject it, or submit a counteroffer with terms that better suit your goals. Every offer comes with its own set of conditions, timelines, and details, and it's important to look at the full picture—not just the price.

I’ll walk you through each offer, highlight the pros and cons, and help you negotiate terms that protect your interests and maximize your return. The goal is to make sure you feel informed, confident, and in control of every decision.

10. What’s my role in the selling process?

Your main focus during the selling process is to keep your home clean, tidy, and ready for showings. The better it shows, the stronger the impression it makes on potential buyers, which can lead to quicker, more competitive offers.

Behind the scenes, I’ll take care of everything else: professional marketing, managing showings, responding to inquiries, handling paperwork, and negotiating on your behalf. I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way, so you always know what’s happening and what to expect next. You can count on clear communication, expert guidance, and a smooth, low-stress experience from start to finish.
