Q: Why should I pay an agent to sell my home rather than sell it on my own?

It's Springtime in Victoria... How much do you think you could sell your house for if it were put on the market today? How long would it take to sell?

For Sale signs are popping up everywhere you look and open houses are the norm on weekends for now until late Fall. I am seeing good value in Oak Bay and in parts of Fairfield and James Bay as well and the inventory to choose from seems to range right from small one bedroom condos through townhouses and right onto single family homes of pretty well all sizes. Great time to be a buyer, if you're quick. ...

Buyers are competitive and ready to strike on homes and properties in the core of victoria if they're presented well and priced fairly.
Coming up later this month (around the middle of March) I'll be listing a home ...
