Workback Schedule

In order to be completely prepared for the launch of the listing, and to limit the stress during the live listing period, it is best we do as much as we can ahead of time to ensure the listing appeals to the most amount of buyers. We will work together to create a proposed timeline to show you when we would have to get started in order to go live on your desired date. This includes dates for a staging consult, professional house cleaning, a handyman for any repairs, staging day, photographer, videographer, etc. See below as an example.

Listing Consultation
Staging and Home Improvement Consult
Pre-List Cleaning
Staging Install
High Resolution Photos & Lifestyle Videography
For Sale Sign Install
Launch to MLS
Hold Open Houses

The first step to getting your home ready for sale is an in person Listing Consultation. Our team will meet with you to discuss your needs, wants and desired outcome of the sale of your property.

This consult will consist of going through your home with our Professional Stager to discuss items to pack away, fix and replace so your home stands out from the competition. You will be provided with a report on next steps to prep your home for the official staging date.

We will send a cleaner in for a deep clean, including doors, baseboards and more!

Our professional Stager and her team will take the day to stage your home to ensure it appeals to the taste of the masses and attract as many Buyers as possible. Click the arrow below to see their website.

We use only the best in the industry to highlight the beautiful features of your home with comprehensive floor plans, high resolution photography and lifestyle videography. This will be the foundation of your home's marketing and online presence.

A for sale sign and coming soon rider will be installed 3 days prior to listing your house to the public on MLS. This allows for early exposure in case your neighbours have friends and family wanting to move into the area.

Prior to going live on MLS, we will review one final time the most recent sales and current listings to determine the best listing strategy and price for your home.

We will hold open houses as much as possible to expose the home not just to those with realtors but those searching on their own. This is in an effort to capture both active and inactive Buyers. The open houses will be advertised on Realtor.ca, MLS, and via social media.

Pricing Strategy

The importance of pricing "right".

Your pricing strategy lays the foundation for both the quantity and quality of the potential buyers that your listing will attract. 

Below you will find the advantages and disadvantages of each pricing strategy as well as the percentage of buyers you can expect for each.

Comparable Sales

Properly pricing your property has a major impact on the level of interest you will generate and ultimately the sales price you will achieve for your listing. Comparable sales are the best measure of value and point to a fair market price range. Properties being introduced to the market are best placed in the right pricing position relative to recent comparable sales.

Available Competition

In today’s market, the current competition is as important as the most recent comparable sales.  Buyers will be viewing and comparing competing properties to your unit. They will make offers based on which one they feel has the most to offer them and provides the best value and will be monitoring sales that occur during the listing period for your property.

Pricing Your Home For Sale

Advantages:
  • Create enough interest to generate a multiple offer scenario
  • Shorter time on the market
  • Generate a lot of interest and showings
 
Disadvantages:
  • Multiple offers are not a guarantee
  • Risk getting “low ball” offers
  • You may miss out on buyers who are qualified for a higher amount who may not have considered a property listed at this lower price point
  • Alienate buyers who have participated in multiple offer nights and no longer wish to compete against other buyers – “Buyer Fatigue”
Advantages:
  • Attracts qualified buyers within their budget
  • Shorter time on the market VS over pricing the home
  • If the price is slightly below what the buyers are feel it’s worth, it can generate multiple offers
 
Disadvantages:
  • “Missing out” on the ability to get multiple offers and wondering if you could have received a higher price if you went to market low & held an offer night to generate multiple offers
Advantages:
  • You leave room for negotiations
  • Assurance you haven’t left any money on the table
 
Disadvantages:
  • Will discourage qualified, educated buyers
  • Will sit on the market for a longer period of time & will lead to re-listing your home at a lower price to attract a new buyers
  • Will encourage buyers to buy other competing homes that are listed for market value

Stunning staging.

We’re all guilty of judging a book by its cover.​ When we shop online, we often choose to buy the product that has nicer pictures because we inherently trust those ads more. When we go to the store to buy products, we usually pick the ones with nicer, more organized labeling.

Thinking about your home’s best features will help you highlight them by putting more effort into staging them. If you have a beautiful deck with a great view, for example, spend time cleaning up and staging the deck as the perfect leisure space. By making sure those features shine, you’ll be making your home irresistible. 
The importance of staging a home can go beyond looks. When potential buyers have very positive first impressions of your home and can envision themselves in the best spaces of your home, they’ll see your home as more valuable. Highlighting your home’s best features can also increase the value. 

Homes that have been staged have an increased chance of getting offers over the asking price than those that have not been staged. Agents from the National Association of Realtors found that staging your home could boost your offers by 5%. For me, it’s always worth investing in your home to net you more on the sale of your home.

Pre-List Home Inspection

When buying a home there are bound to be deficiencies. Even brand new homes will have issues that need to be addressed. No home is ever perfect. Performing a home inspection prior to listing your home will help in three different ways; 
1.  It will help us understand if there is anything that needs immediate attention prior to listing your home.
2.  Helps the buyer understand where the deficiencies are and what to expect moving forward as the home ages.
3.  Helps the buyer set their price based on what may need to be fixed in the home and ideally present you with a firm offer.
 

A home inspection will also tell the buyer about what you can’t actually see with the naked eye. The age of the roof, furnace or air conditioner. Whether or not there has been a leak in the basement or inside the attic. What type of plumbing and wiring are in the home and so much more. A home inspection will educate your buyers and provide them with the information they need to make an educated decision when buying your home.
