LISTING YOUR PROPERTY

The time has come to strongly consider putting your property up for sale. What are the steps you need to take to ensure a smooth transaction? Let me help guide you through the selling process 

​

1. Strategy Strategy Strategy!

You’re not just selling a home, but you’re also having to plan for the transition that comes with selling and buying. Do you sell before you buy? Should you buy before you sell? What are my options? Before even putting your home on the market, planning the transition between selling and buying is crucial.

2. Prior to Listing

Prepping your home before it hits the market is crucial and it’s best to get it right the first time! Many sellers will be asking themselves: should I renovate? Re-do the flooring? Paint? These are some great questions but before jumping to any conclusions, let’s sit down together and chat about what your best ROI will be. In many cases, it’s best to do minor touch-ups and leave the big renovations for the next owner. But in some cases, changing a few major items will attract a larger pool of buyers. The determining factor is - what has sold in your area and what is your competition doing.

Here are some simple things you can do to get your home ready:

-declutter: put your clutter in boxes and store in your garage

-deep clean: all surfaces including baseboards, window sills, and bathtubs – trust me, buyers will look at everything!

-air freshener: get your home smelling great

-staging: put some decorative items out on display, make your beds, fluff your pillows, arrange your curtains - get your home showhome ready

-keep your home looking clean now and for any showings (don't forget to put all your dishes away!)

3. Marketing – Going live

4. While on Market
