Sellers

 If you are planning to sell your existing home or property, please contact me for a complimentary no obligation market evaluation to assist you in determining an appropriate listing price.

Many photos posted online of homes for sale are very poor quality. I use a high quality Nikon D50 digital camera with a wide angle lens for the best photos to show off your home.

 I can offer you your own Internet address such as www.23mystreet.com . This will catch buyers attention; be easy to remember and make it easy for them to find YOUR home on the Internet without searching through hundreds of homes. I can also create a video tour of your home allowing potential buyers to walk through your house online.

If you want someone who is prepared to place you and your property first, dedicate his time, and work hard on your behalf to implement a marketing plan designed to get results - give me a call today.

An advantage of listing with a me is that as a REALTOR I am able to place your listing on the MLS or Multiple Listing Service. When you decide your listings will be on the Multiple Listing Service, the information about your property is shared with all other REALTORS and all REALTORS have the opportunity to sell your property. Your property gains more exposure, because it reaches the majority of the real estate professionals in your community. 

 A major issue for anyone selling a property is how much to ask for it. Although you may have an idea of how much your house is worth, it's important to have your home valued by a professional on its own merits. Be careful not to price your property too high or too low. If it's too high, there's no sale; too low and you lose on your investment. For a free home evaluation click visit the My Home Value page or contact me directly.

 I have the research and expertise to provide a market assessment of what similar properties in your area have sold for. I also have a number of marketing tools and options to promote your property. First is the mls.ca web site, which attracts more than a million unique visitors a month. It shows the details of your home to local, regional or national buyers looking for a property in your community. I will also list your property on multiple Internet sites giving it more exposure than other homes.

 Sometimes a home doesn't sell right away. Avoid the urge to pull your home off the market. Generally, there are three reasons why a home may not sell as fast as others. First is location; second is condition; third is the asking price. Naturally, you can't change your home's location, but you can fix the condition of your home and you can, of course, adjust your price. Throughout the listing process, you need to be constantly comparing your asking price against those of similar properties in your area.

 Once a buyer is found, you'll be receiving an offer that will detail how much, specify any conditions that may apply or be attached by the buyer, say when the buyer would like to take possession, and when the offer expires. As an act of good faith, the buyer will make a deposit with the offer.

 You don't have to accept the offer as is. You may wish to make a counter offer that comes part-way to meeting the offer's conditions. The counter offer is one more step along the way to negotiating the final terms and conditions of the sale. The offer, once signed by everyone, is a binding contract. Make sure you understand and agree to all of the terms in the document.

 Then on or before closing day, lawyers representing you and the buyer will set up a trust account for the money coming from the sale and will pay off any mortgages you owe on the property. After these are paid, you will receive any money you have coming from the sale. Your lawyer will register the mortgage discharge and transfer the deed at closing.

I would like the opportunity to sell your home.
