Selling a Property - What to Expect

1. Meeting You & Visiting the Property

When we meet, I'll explain the process of selling a home, and tell you about the various legal documents that will be required. We'll discuss the options available to you, and we'll complete and sign all of the necessary forms. I'll do an informal inspection of your property in order to assess its condition, and I'll take measurements of the various rooms. Then I'll take a look at your neighborhood to get a feel of the area and to note its proximity to schools, public transportation, highways, parks, etc.

2. Establishing a Sale Price

Establishing the correct sale price can make or break a sale. To help ensure a successful sale, I'll compile a list of similar properties recently sold in your area, along with a summary of the demographics. I'll then establish a range of selling prices, from full market value to slightly below market value, with the estimated days until sold. Also included for each price range are the commission and the corresponding GST/QST tax to be deducted from the sale price, so you'll know exactly what to expect.

3. Advertising and Promoting Your Home - Free!

The marketing of your home includes a variety of activities on my part, all with absolutely no cost to you, including:

• Providing an evaluation of the market value of your property;
• Publishing a detailed bilingual listing of your property on the MLS (Multiple Listings Service);
• Publishing a detailed bilingual listing on centris.ca, expertimmobilierpm.net, www.realtor.ca and coinimmobilier.com;
• Creating a dedicated web page on this site highlighting your property;
• Establishing a strong presence on all the social media websites, like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn;
• Hiring a professional photographer from Obeo "Virtual Tour" who'll take photographs and full-screen virtual tours of the interior and exterior of your property;
• Purchasing newspaper advertisements and online advertisements;
• Organizing and hosting "Open House" events;
