Before we begin the downsizing task, we start by doing a market analysis of your property, looking at comparable properties and deciding what price you are likely to get when you go to market. With that information, you can make a budget for your new downsized lifestyle. We will also explain how we will position your property on the market to get you top dollar for your home.

Many downsizers feel held back from downsizing by the volume of their possessions, so I provide access to a small team of 2-3 skilled downsizers, who can help you categorize and decide what to do with your stuff. Working quickly and efficiently, they will help you divide your personal items and furniture into four categories: 1) toss out, 2) donate/sell, 3) store and 4) keep, and then handle the follow through of disposing, storing or selling the items as directed. These small teams make short work of even the most cluttered rooms and can even pay for themselves by identifying valuable products and furniture that are no longer needed and handling the sale for you.

Once your home has been decorated and staged for presentation to the market, we photograph your home, make promotional videos, including drone shots if necessary, and prepare our promotional campaign. We prepare online advertisements, listing content for Realtor.Ca and the MLS, as well as our reach out campaign to our network of buyers. This way, we can reach the maximum number of buyers in the first week of your property being online, to bring more buyers to your home and ultimately stronger offers which means more money for you.

When your listing goes live on the MLS, promote your listing to our network of broker and real estate agent contacts, as well as to our investor and buyer clients for whom your listing matches their criteria. We also launch marketing campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to thousands of real estate shoppers in your target area. Your property will be featured on the MLS, Realtor.ca, Chrishendricks.ca as well as sites like Zillow, Redfin and Housesigma which take their information from the MLS. More eyes on your listing leads to more interested buyers and eventually bigger offers.

When your property is on the market we will work with Buyers agents to schedule, coordinate and facilitate showings, as well as following up and collecting feedback from showings. By making the showing process smooth and pleasant for buyers, we increase the likelihood they will be impressed with your property and want to make a strong offer.

Once an offer has been accepted and an Agreement of Purchase and Sale(APS) has been signed, the work is not over! We will help facilitate the inspection and the satisfaction of any conditions in the APS and help to nurture the agreement right through until closing day. By being proactive and taking care of the transaction right to the very end, we help reduce the number of hassles that our customers face upon closing.

In most cases, renovating before you sell your home is not necessary, as buyers of older homes usually want to renovate the properties themselves to their own tastes. However, we will inspect your property to point out if there are any renovations that we believe will increase the value of your home enough that they are worth the cost and hassle of the renovation. We will also put you in touch with our team of skilled, efficient and professional contractors to get the work done quickly, affordably and to a high standard.

Once your personal items are sorted, and you are ready to begin the process of selling your home, it is time for decoration and staging. We use a 15 point checklist to implement highly cost-effective decoration techniques that will increase the perceived value of your home before it is put on the market at very little cost. This might include things like new paint, brighter lightbulbs, minor landscaping or changing drapes and window coverings. We will also bring in a stager for a consultation on how to rearrange furniture, and add or remove furniture to make your home feel more open, spacious and inviting, increasing the perceived value of your home.

In advance of putting the property on the MLS, we often have an exclusive listing period where the property is discretely presented to our network of eager buyers and contacts before going on the MLS. This often helps sell the house faster and with less disruption to your lifestyle.

As part of our service we typically do an open house in the first two weeks of the listing. This is a great opportunity for neighbours and interested buyers to drop in and view the property, and helps us get the word out about your property via word of mouth, bringing more interested buyers to view your property.

Once an offer is made on your property, we handle the offer and negotiation process. Using a systematic process, we communicate with prospective buyers and their agents to help you get the best possible price and terms for the sale your home while also minimizing the risk of legal and contractual hangups and inconveniences which can cost you money and time and energy

Upon closing, we will arrange for movers and organizers to pack up your belongings, organize them by which room they are to go to in your new house, and unpack them just the way you want in your new home. So you can get on with your life in your new home
