Once you have made the decision to list with us and sell your house, we will market your property to attract the maximum number of Qualified Buyers, using a proven combination of Today's Technology and Traditional Advertising methods. Some of these strategies will include:
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) database - We want to attract as many Realtors with Qualified Buyers as possible.
Realtor.ca, Homefinders.ca and public MLS sites - Over 90% of Buyers today use the Internet to search for their Future Home before they approach a Realtor to assist them with their purchase.
Advertising on the local Kijiji and Craig's List Websites - Your listing will be created for the discerning shopper.. painting a picture with words and images to set the stage for success. The difference between a house and a home is in the mind of the Buyer. We want them to fall in love with the house and visualize making it their home, just as you did when you originally bought it.
Your Listing will appear on our Web Page - Here we can expand on the 'Personality' to your property over basic MLS, and add one more way to make it easy for Buyers to take the next step and call for a showing.
A For Sale Sign on your property with Feature Sheets - A Presence in your neighbourhood is essential. The For Sale sign is a tried and true traditional method of attracting attention that works for you 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week!
With the addition of a Feature Sheet Box, potential Buyers can easily obtain information about your property without intruding on your privacy.
What YOU Can Do To Help The Selling Process Move Smoothly
The majority of sales can be won or lost before a Buyer even steps inside your house. This is where 'Curb Appeal' comes into play. By 'sprucing up' the outside of your house and the grounds.. making them neat and tidy, lawn cut, flower beds tended and so on.. more Buyers will be willing to take the next step and make an appointment to come in and view Their Future Home.
Inside, a Clean House is not only inviting to the Future Home Owner, it can give them the feeling that this is a well maintained home. It can be surprising how important 'little things' are to a Future Home Owner. You can easily imagine how you would feel when you walk into a home to buy.
It Boils Down to Just a Few Simple Ideas:
If It's Dirty: Clean It.
If It Smells: Freshen It
If It's Loose: Fix It.
If It's Broken: Repair, Replace or Throw It Away.
"How Long Will It Take To Sell My House?"
There are 4 interconnecting reasons why a house has trouble finding it's way to new owners:
Price
Location (Neighbourhood)
Condition of The Home (Curb and Inside Appeal)
Marketing
The age old question "How long will it take to sell my house?" can in part be answered by national statistics on home sales.
Sold Within Percentage of Houses
1 Month 40%
- The Majority of these houses have been Priced Correctly according to the Current Market Trend, Curb and Inside Appeal, and Neighbourhood Location
2 Months 7%
3 Months 7%
4 Months 20%
- Houses may have been overpriced to begin with. Many Sellers become frustrated by this time and lower their sale price dramatically to 'Make it Sell'
5 Months 10%
6 Months 7%
7 Months 9%
