Seller’s Guide

Seller’s Guide

Selling your home is a complex, multi-step process that calls for the expertise of a REALTOR®. There are many things you’ll need to consider, and to help you through it, here’s a general overview on what to expect and prepare.

Get Your Finances in Order

Don’t worry if you’re still paying off your mortgage, there are several options depending on what type of mortgage you have. However, you’ll need to talk to your lender before you can proceed.

Meet With a REALTOR®

It’s important to partner with a REALTOR® you feel completely comfortable with. Don’t fall for the trap of partnering with the first REALTOR® who suggests the highest asking price. Shop around. A good REALTOR® can help you price your home to sell, answer questions like “When is a good time to sell?” and has in-depth knowledge of the market.

Start your search for a reputable REALTOR®, by checking if family and friends have a preferred REALTOR® or search online for the most visible and professional one. Visit your local real estate office; pay attention to advertisements and For Sale signs.

Listing Your Home

Pricing your home too low or too high is not an option. Setting a fair price will attract more potential buyers, and give your home more exposure. Your REALTOR® should be able to explain to you the multitude of factors influencing pricing, including: competitive pricing, current market stats, and of course the estimated value of your home.

Marketing And Promotion

The next step will be to sign a Listing Agreement, which gives your REALTOR® permission to post your property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service). They’ll then begin marketing your home through a variety of mediums — digital and traditional — and inform other REALTORS® (representing buyers) that your property is on the market. Your REALTOR® can also help you prepare your home for staging.

Closing

After the hard work of marketing and promoting your home pays off, you’ll hopefully have a few offers on the table. Once you’ve accepted an offer, your buyer will want to conduct a home inspection and (potentially) negotiate the cost of any repairs. Finally, your lawyer and REALTOR® will walk you through the paperwork and legal bits needed to close.

Congratulations! With the sale of your home complete, you can now begin looking for a new place.

If you're looking to buy and/or sell, Brittany is your girl! We had the opportunity to have Brittany sell our previous home and help us find our forever home and we couldn't have had a better experience! Brittany was professional from the start, ensuring that we were well informed of the entire process on both ends and was always available when we needed her. She always listened to our wants and needs and made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable! Thank you, Brittany!

Dealing with Brittany to purchase our home was a pure joy. She is so knowledgeable and organized, professional and honest. Can't wait for some friends to move out from Bc so I can refer her.

Jamie helped us with the long process of finding our first home - we started at the height of a hot housing market and she was extremely patient and helpful through changes in the market, multiple offer situations, and changes in what we were looking for in a house. In the end we found the perfect place in an ideal neighbourhood at a great price. We continue to suggest Bhatti Realty to anyone we know that is looking to sell or buy a home and we would definitely look to them in the future.

Working with Jamie was awesome. We worked with her to sell our exiting home was well as find and purchase our new home. She was extremely patient and was with us every step of the way. She was available all the time to answer any question we had. She was very committed to our success, not just "making a sale." She gave us lots of great suggestions. It felt like we were her only client. Jamie was so great to work with.
