Selling a home can be one of life's most challenging experiences. The more prepared you are at the beginning, the less overwhelming the process will be. If you are considering making a move, or want to know what the value of your property, or simply have questions about the market in general, please call me and I would be pleased to discuss my unique marketing strategy that will get your property SOLD! I will provide you with a listing presentation and most importantly present you with a comparative market analysis (CMA). The CMA details information on past sales in your neighbourhood, homes that didn't sell and homes that are currently for sale. I will use the CMA, market statistics and my knowledge of the neighbourhood to help you set a reasonable price for your home.
I can also prepare an estimate of the net proceeds you will receive when your home sells. This is based on the suggested sale price of your property and any financing you have in place.
Importantly, Vancouver home buyers (and even their Realtors) look to me to find the ideal home to fit their lifestyle. Over the years, I have earned a reputation for listing unique spaces of superior construction in Vancouver's Downtown area. Why not have your property be among the first that these buyers look at?
Market Your Home
Since I specialize in unique homes, I recognize that different homes have different marketing needs. I understand the growth of the area and offer a marketing plan that will reach a wide scale of potential buyers, therefore, the avenues of marketing your home will be tailored to give your property maximum exposure. Many home buyers search the internet for information about available properties, so having a solid web presence is essential these days. Accordingly, every home is featured on vancouver4sale.com & century21intown.ca to ensure that maximum web exposure is provided. I also list all my properties with the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is an extensive list of properties that all realtors have access to, and through the MLS, your property is then listed on the Realty Link public website and the realty link in print newspapers. I also use the network of over 50 agents from my Century 21 In Town office and the thousands of Century 21 agents worldwide.
Similarly, with each new listing, I contact my list of prospective buyers who have shown interest in past developments or listings. In addition, any or all of these marketing techniques may be used:
- Services of a staging company to enhance the sale price and marketability of the home.
- Print advertising through the Vancouver Courier and Realty Link In Print.
- Email flyers sent to top Realtors in the area.
- Full colour print flyers sent to our targeted Realtor mailing list.
- Exposure through the advertising of vancouver4sale.com.
- Signage using the well-known Century21 In town brand.
- Exposure through the renowned network of Century 21 associates worldwide as well as through the team at Century 21 In town Real Estate Services.
Tips for selling your house faster
Before I begin showing your home, you will want to make sure it's in tip-top condition. An attractive, well-kept home generally has a better chance of selling faster. Here are a few ideas to help you perk-up your home's appearance without a big renovation bill.
- Ensure kitchen and bathrooms are sparkling clean;
- Repair dripping facets and showerheads;
- Steam clean or replace carpets if necessary;
