Selling A Real Estate Property

Should you buy first or sell first? That is the question. At least it’s one of the questions we get asked most often when we meet with prospective Buyers and Sellers. Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy answer, and there certainly isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. Talk to us about the pros and cons of each strategy.

Most real estate professionals will tell you that the best time to sell would be the spring, followed by the fall. Spring is desirable for many sellers as it is an exciting time to showcase your homes best features and many buyers want the transaction to be completed before the summer months. It’s important to remember that since it is the busiest time of the year, you will face more competition, increasing the importance of making sure your home shows at its best.

Your Real Estate Agent will meet with you to sign the Listing Contract. The listing contract establishes a professional relationship between you and your brokerage for a given period. It details the obligations of the brokerage and the seller. It is officially called a “seller Brokerage Agreement”. Your property will be listed on the MLS system comprised of 10,000 realtors plus over 8000 agents across Canada within the Sutton System.

When real estate agents talk about staging your home, they're referring to a method of decorating that is designed to showcase the home's best assets, impress buyers and sell it quickly for the highest possible price. Talk to our agents for the best advice on staging
