Sell your home with confidence

1. Prepare before you list

Small repairs and a thorough clean often return more than their cost. Walk through your home as a buyer would and deal with the details: sticking doors, tired paint, burnt-out bulbs, cluttered counters.

• Fix anything that suggests deferred maintenance.
• Declutter and depersonalise so buyers can picture themselves there.
• Deep clean windows, floors and appliances; consider staging advice.

2. Price for your market

Pricing is the single biggest lever on your sale. We'll review recent sales of similar homes nearby, current competition and demand, then set a price that attracts serious buyers without leaving money on the table.

Overpricing usually leads to a slow first month, then repeated reductions. Accurate pricing from day one keeps your listing fresh and your negotiating position strong.

3. Market your home

Most buyers form their first opinion online. Professional photography, a clear floor plan and honest, well-written listing details make your home stand out in search results and on the sites buyers actually use.

• Photograph in good light, inside and out.
• Highlight the features buyers search for: bedrooms, parking, lot, updates.
• Keep the listing accurate — surprises at a showing kill trust.

4. Showings and open houses

Make viewings easy to schedule and keep the home showing-ready: lights on, surfaces clear, pets and valuables out of the way. Buyers decide quickly, and a calm, clean home helps them say yes.

I'll collect feedback after showings and adjust the marketing or presentation if the response tells us something needs to change.

5. Offers and negotiation

When offers arrive, we'll review price, conditions, deposit and possession date together. The highest number is not always the best offer; financing, inspection conditions and timing all affect how likely a deal is to close.

• Understand each condition and its deadline.
• Counter where it improves your position, not just to test the buyer.
• Keep a backup offer in mind if the first one weakens.

6. Conditions, appraisal and closing

After acceptance, the buyer's financing and appraisal need to come together, and any inspection items get negotiated. Your lawyer prepares the transfer and statement of adjustments while we coordinate access, utilities and your move-out date.
