The reality is, most people who decide to sell their home are still paying a mortgage on it. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about. In fact, there are several options to explore depending on what type of mortgage you have. For example, some mortgages can be transferred to the next home you move into. Speak to your bank or mortgage broker to find out more details.

The next step involves sitting down together to discuss your unique situation and how you’d like to proceed with the sale. No matter the circumstances, I’m willing to put in the time required to maximize your return. For starters, I will perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report. This will highlight the demand for homes in your neighbourhood as well as the prices they have been sold for. Setting a fair price will attract more potential buyers and give your home more exposure.

Once you’re satisfied with the price, we will proceed to sign a listing agreement. This legal document empowers the realtor to post your property on MLS websites and inform other realtors that your property is for sale.

Too many realtors are stuck in the past. When you work with me, I’ll use the latest cutting-edge tools to market your home not just to the most people but to the right people. We will stage beautiful and professional photos of your home before listing on my site, as well as real estate aggregate sites that pull MLS listings. We will carefully write the verbiage for your home’s listing to reflect the strong points and convey why you loved to live there. Your listing will also be sent to every prospective buyer in my extensive database if it matches the criteria they have set out. I will also ensure your home is listed in any printed MLS collateral and direct mail outs.

Home staging in Vancouver is one of the most important factors in completing a sale. How your home looks will leave a lasting impression on potential buyers. The main objective is to make your home as desirable as possible to people who attend the open house. Working as a realtor, I understand what buyers like to see during an open house and I can provide advice in preparing it for sale. I’m also happy to recommend the services of a professional Vancouver home stager. During the open house period, you will be required to vacate your home, making arrangements for any pets you might have. It’s also possible you may need to stow some furniture so having a contingency in place is advised.
