Where To Start When Selling A House 

01.26.2018 | Selling

Wondering how best to sell your house? The moment you establish your starting point is the same moment you establish your sale’s success. Strike it out on your own, and potentially leave money on the table. The same goes for working with the right team or agent.

Need to know where to start when selling a house? Follow these simple steps to give yourself a much-needed leg up…

Do Your Research

As is the case with so much in life, selling your home starts with doing your homework. Start finding agents in your area, the current state of the market, and some of the common renovations that homeowners can pursue to maximize the return on their property. After that, you can start determining the best team – with the strongest presence – who will be able to get optimal exposure for your home.

Find A Local Expert

Working with someone who operates in your area, on a full-time basis, will ensure that the right amount of time and effort is going into the sale of your home. Especially in a city as unique as Toronto, where one neighbourhood is often so different from the next. Working with someone across the city is the same as working from someone across the country, because you’re missing out on all the nuances that a local agent has access to.

Ask Questions

Don’t be afraid to ask questions to your prospective agent. Find out what makes them tick, how they serve their clients, and even what the clients would say about them. Figuring out how best to sell your house starts with figuring out more about the experts you align yourself with…
