If you haven't already, we suggest you read our "1st Things First" page prior to this one... Selling a home involves more than just putting a "for sale" sign on your lawn. It's a step-by-step procedure that involves a lot of care and attention, complicated further if you are considering buying another home as well. If that's the case, now you have two transactions to handle at once that need to blend together comfortably. Hiring a REALTOR® to help with these goals should not be taken lightly. After all, your home is your investment and you'd like to sell it for the highest dollar possible, in the least amount of time, and with the least amount of hassle. To ensure that happens you'll want a strong base of trust and comfort with your REALTOR®. Whether you've sold a home before, or if this is your first time doing so, we want you to make the right considerations for your next sale. And that's exactly why our free, no obligation consultation will be of great value to you. Past clients have felt refreshed afterwards, and we're confident you will too. The biggest hurdle at this point is making the call. It's in your hands to do so. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Below is a summary of our role in the selling process, and some of the Key Benefits we offer Seller's like you. Past clients have found this very helpful. "What's Important to You is Important to Us"!
Experience - You'll receive the benefit of "two" REALTOR'SŪ with over 50 years combined experience. Our knowledge and ability are key assets to your success. Our non-pressure approach starts with listening, continues with action, and ends with a successful sale. Personal Consultation - Our friendly persona will only make selling your home that much easier when we meet to discuss your situation. You'll have lots of questions that we can help answer. We'll tailor our marketing approach to service your needs. Our goal is to assist you in achieving your dreams. Competitive Commission Packages - If you're like most people you'd like a quality job for a decent price... We can certainly help with the quality, and... we can also help with the price. We have two competitive packages tailored to your needs for you to choose from. Home Evaluation - This is an analysis of your home using the "Direct Sales Comparison Approach", which will project current market value. A detailed explanation will be provided to you. Seller Agency - We'll discuss representation. Most real estate transactions involve two REALTOR'SŪ; the one who represents the seller and the one who represents the buyer. We'll explain how it works and what it means. Documentation - There are many forms, legal papers, and other select items needed to market your property. These are carefully detailed, verified for accuracy, and discussed with you. We also take inside and outside digital photos of your home and note the room measurements and square footage. Informative Reports - We provide easy to read reports that outline tips and strategies; to ensure a successful sale, to dress your house for success, and to pack your belongings safely. We also discuss the various costs you'll have with a helpful net sheet. Multiple Listing Service® - Your home's details and photos are submitted to the "Barrie and District Association of REALTORS® Inc.", which is where our local Multiple Listing Service® is housed. The computerized information is available to over 700 member REALTORS® and promoted to the buyers they represent. Internet Listing - Once your home appears on the local Multiple Listing Service® you will automatically be uploaded to the Cross Canada website... www.realtor.ca (formerly mls.ca). We also add your home to the "Our Listings" page on this website complete with description and scrolling photos. We respond to all Internet requests for information in an expedient manner. "For Sale" Sign - A "For Sale" sign is erected in your yard showing our contact information. It is a key necessity to attract calls. This will expose your property 24-7.
