Have a first hand look at what it’s like working with Kirk. “Since 2012, each year I have continuously been growing my business. In even a short period of time I have noticed a lot of changes in the industry, marketing is becoming more important than ever. Staying on top of education is important to me and translates into the customer service I am able to provide my buyer/seller client.”
No. You can price, market, show and negotiate offers on your own home without the help of a real estate agent. Keep in mind though, that over 90% of home sellers do use a REALTOR and find that the expertise, saved time and higher sold prices are worth the cost of commission.
When budgeting for the cost of selling your home, you’ll need to take into consideration the costs of staging, real estate commission, legal fees and potentially, a mortgage penalty.
That’s a tough question. Generally, a home doesn’t sell for one of 3 reasons: 1- it isn’t priced right; 2- it hasn’t been well marketed, or 3 – it doesn’t ‘show well’ to potential Buyers (and might need a good cleaning or staging). Talk to your agent and ask to see: 1- what’s been happening in the market in your neighbourhood since you’ve been listed, 2-the marketing that’s been completed and 3- the feedback from agents/Buyers who’ve seen your home.
If sheer availability determined whether or not something would sell, then companies in all industries would save their marketing dollars. We believe that a comprehensive marketing campaign is essential to reaching more Buyers, and that reaching more Buyers is essential to getting the highest price. Effective marketing reaches Buyers both online and offline. 92% of Buyers search for a home online so it’s critical that they are finding your home.
After you negotiated the sale of your house, your real estate lawyer will require a copy of the accepted offer, your mortgage information, your last utility and municipal property tax bills, and any other property ownership records.
Right now we are in a seller’s market. This means that the number of qualified buyers are greater than the number of homes for sale. Currently it is an excellent time to sell your own home. There are other factors such as the weather, comparable homes for sale, mortgage rate changes, news, and seasonality which will affect the real estate market. Wayne will evaluate the best time to sell your house and present you with your best options so you can make an informed decision on when to sell.
