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 Real Estate Agent

It’s important to partner with a Realtor® you feel completely comfortable with. A good Real Estate Agent has in-depth knowledge of the market, and will help you price your home to sell and make the most of the market conditions.

It might feel obvious to hire the agent who suggests the highest list price for your home. Be wary, this can lead to your home sitting longer than it needs to on the market, getting “stale”, and missing out on the first week of the strongest buyers.

Most importantly, ask any prospective Realtor® what sets them apart in the sale of your home.

Leo provides exceptional value in listing your home, with included listing consultation, professional photos, digital staging if applicable, open houses, print and digital media marketing, etc.  

Listing Your Home

The next step will be to sign a Listing Agreement, which gives your REALTOR® permission to post your property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

Preparing your home to be most attractive for listing takes hard work. Leo will help you with a complimentary home staging consultation, and will even provide you with decor to help show your home at its best.

After photos, it’s time to go live on the market!

Marketing And Promotion

Leo will 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.

He goes above and beyond by door knocking in your neighbourhood, and hosting opne houses on the first and, if necessary, second weekends on market.  

Closing

After the hard work of marketing and promoting your home pays off, you’ll hopefully have a few offers on the table. Leo will help you to understand the offers and their terms, and pick the one that best meets your goals.

Once you’ve accepted an offer, your buyer will want to conduct a home inspection and (potentially) negotiate the cost of any repairs. Finally, Leo will work with your lawyer to help walk you through the paperwork and legal bits needed to close.

Congratulations!
