Everyone knows that selling your home, whether its the first time or the one hundredth, is one of the most important steps in your life. Here are some points to consider in an attempt to maximize your profits, maintain control, and reduce the potential stress that comes with the home selling process:

Know why you’re selling and be realistic with your needs and wants.
Your reason for selling will dictate different strategies and allow your real estate team to fully engage in aspects of the selling process. However, don’t reveal your motivation to anyone other than your real estate team or they may end up being used against you at the negotiating table. 

Do your homework before setting a price and make sure your real estate team answers all your questions.
Once you've set your price, you've told buyers the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home, but pricing too high is as dangerous as pricing too low. Keeping in mind there are times when over listing or under listing are a part of the overall strategy to market and sell your home or property for the highest price and with completion dates that best suit your needs. 

Remember that the average buyer is looking at other homes at the same time they are considering yours. If you delay or frustrate the potential showings or sale of your home you could very well loose one of the handful of potential buyers that are actively searching for your home or property.
No one wants their home or property to sit on the market for any longer than market that necessary, buyers often think there is something wrong with it or it is over priced. As your Realtor® and real estate team, we will provide you with an industry standard comparative market analysis (CMA) but more importantly we will give you The Truth About Real Estate regarding your specific home or property so the best listing price and marketing strategy can be formulated and executed.

Maximize your home’s sales potential.

For your part as a seller, make sure you disclose everything. Smart sellers pro-actively go above and beyond the laws to disclose all known defects to their buyers in writing. If the buyer knows about a problem, s/he can’t come back with a complaint at a later date. Our real estate team will assist you in completing a Property Disclosure Statement to ensure this. Our sales manager, Mandeep, will make sure all terms, costs and responsibilities are spelled out in the contract of sale. 

Don’t move out before you sell.
Studies have shown that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant because it looks forlorn, forgotten and simply not appealing. If you move, you’re also telling buyers that you have a new home and are probably highly motivated to sell fast. This, of course, will give them the advantage at the negotiating table. If necessary our real estate team have outstanding relationships with several of the top home staggers in the GVRD.
