Selling
Selling a home in Vancouver
Pricing is the first decision and the one that matters most. Buyers pay what recent sales and the current competition say a home is worth this month, so that's where we start. From there it's preparing the home and the paperwork buyers will ask for, then negotiating with the facts in hand.
How the sale actually runs
How a sale runs, start to finish.
Pricing
I pull the recent sales of homes like yours, adjust for the differences a buyer would notice, and put them beside the listings you'd be competing with. You get a realistic range and a recommended strategy within it, with every comparable explained. If the range is lower than you hoped, you'll hear it before you list, not after sixty days on the market.
The paperwork buyers will read
For a condo or townhouse, the strata package is part of the product: Form B, minutes, financials, depreciation report, insurance and bylaws. I read it before launch, alongside the financial statements and reports, and follow up on anything that needs a closer look, so we can answer a buyer's questions directly. For a house, it's title, permits, oil tank and survey questions, handled early.
Preparation
Not a renovation list. A short one: repairs a buyer would use to chip the price, cleaning, lighting, editing the furniture, maybe partial staging. Each item judged against what the competing homes look like the same week.
Marketing
Professional photography, a floor plan, a description that leads with what matters to the likely buyer, MLS® exposure through CENTURY 21 In Town Realty and REALTOR.ca, plus targeted online reach. Attention is the easy part; complete, accurate information is what turns it into serious showings.
Offers
Deposit, subjects, dates, financing strength, inclusions and how likely the buyer is to actually complete. A clean offer at a slightly lower number is often the stronger one. I lay each one out so the trade-offs are obvious before you choose.
Completion
I'll walk you through the completion and possession dates so you know what needs to happen and when you'll receive or hand over the keys.
Seller reading
Before you list.
