An accurate Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is the first step to a successful home sale. It enables you to maximize the market value and determine the worth of your home in today's marketplace, earning the best possible price while avoiding the risk of over-pricing. By having a professional prepare a CMA for your property, you will be presented with a detailed research of recent sales and comparable homes available for sale in your neighbourhood in order to determine what a motivated buyer will pay for a home like yours in the present market. At the same time, suggestions can be made as to what improvements might further increase your property's potential value and marketability.
STEP 2 - Preparing Your Home for Sale
Regardless of how beautiful a home may be, in most cases much work is still required between the signing of the contract and the day the "For Sale" sign goes up. If you were selling a car, you would probably get it professionally cleaned and maintained before putting it on the market to bring in the best value. The same applies to your home! As with any product, it must be touched up, cleaned up, and presented in the most appealing light to a potential buyer. In Real Estate, we call this "staging". We understand that your home is one of your biggest investments, which is why we have a team of professionals on call to help you bring out it's best value of your home.
Professional Cleaning Service - Send a team to declutter and clean the house, steam carpets, wash windows, etc.
Packing Assistance - Provide boxes, packing lables and even a temporary storage facility to start putting away some items and keep your home clutter free and in top shape for frequent showings.
Staging Consultant Diane Black - Book a 3 hour appointment with a professional to walk through the home and make cosmetic changes to the decor in order to best appeal to a potential buyer.
Repairs -Have a handyman and/or a landscaping crew make small repairs or clean up the yard, or provide a referral list of services for bigger projects as required.
