Our Track Record Selling Listings
We have a proven track record of successfully navigating multiple offer situations and one-on-one negotiations, while avoiding the pitfalls and traps that often exist in the real estate financial world. Our primary promise is to work with absolute integrity with our clients. We always back up our recommendations with facts.
We target a large number of buyers:
- Through internet websites, emails, and social media.
- We identify your target market that would be most receptive.
- The staging and photographs/videos of your listing.
- Presentation and preparation are everything.
- The first impression needs to be perfect.
- You are not just a number. We want to work hard for you to build a long-lasting relationship.
Our commission charge for selling listings is 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance.
Unfortunately, we do not negotiate our commissions. We work to get you the best SOLD deal possible. The price will surpass any discounts that anyone can offer you. We may not be the right fit for you if you want a discounted rate; see the Sold Listings we have completed for our clients.
Purchase Acquisition Services
Our strength is understanding each market, sub-market, statistics, and investment value. You would need to consider many aspects of the purchase—all the documents you need to read through and understand the future potential and potential risks. Please do give us a call if you are looking to purchase, and we will make sure to walk you through the entire process, as hands-on or hands-off as you prefer.
Top 10 Home Selling Tips
- Boost Curb Appeal
First impressions matter — freshen up landscaping, paint the front door, and make sure the entryway is clean and inviting.
2. Declutter and Depersonalize
Remove excess furniture, personal photos, and knick-knacks so buyers can visualize themselves in the space.
3. Deep Clean Everything
A spotless home signals that it’s well cared for — don’t forget windows, carpets, baseboards, and light fixtures.
4. Make Minor Repairs
Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, cracked tiles, or chipped paint. Small details add up in buyers’ minds.
5. Neutralize Paint Colours
Light, neutral tones appeal to the broadest audience and make spaces feel bigger and brighter.
6. Stage for Impact
Arrange furniture to highlight the home’s best features, like large windows or an open floor plan.
7. Let in Natural Light
Open blinds and curtains, clean windows, and use soft lighting to make rooms feel airy and warm.
8. Highlight Key Upgrades
Point out recent renovations, energy-efficient appliances, or new systems in your listing and during showings.
9. Use Professional Photography
High-quality photos attract more online views and can dramatically increase showing requests.
10. Price it Right from the Start
Overpricing can scare off buyers — work with your agent to analyze market data and set a competitive price.
