Things to Do Before You List Your Property

Things to Do Before You List 
Stewart J Lowe Yardsign


As more listings come onto the Calgary Market, and more home owners wish to take advantage of the current "Sellers Market", here are some things to consider.

Firstly, consider your finances, and factor in expenses like moving costs. 

Secondly, make sure that your property is ‘ready-to-sell’. Any parts of your home that requires repair should be attended to.

Carry out the necessary improvements and upgrades through renovating or re-modelling, so as to create a home that is free of defects and has the features to hold its own against the competition in your area.

Any parts that you leave unfixed can be picked up by a Home Inspector. This can cause a buyer to want something off the negotiated price, or indeed cause the offer to collapse.

Your home must be ‘show-time’ ready the first day you get it listed, so do not leave the job of uncluttering and cleaning till the last minute. Take time and effort to give your home a thorough clean. Maybe even think about hiring the services of professional cleaners.

When you are planning to list call a reputed and experienced real estate agent like myself, as well as other professionals, and put a good team together. In this market some home owners believe that they can handle the job of selling themselves, only to realize that it is more complicated than they thought it would be. How do you handle multiple offers? Get advice on what conditions to accept, If you are downsizing, what about the cross over to the other property? Our experience will walk you through the process.

One of the most important steps to take before listing your property is your mental preparation. You need to become emotionally detached from your home, it is essential for a successful sale. Such an emotional detachment will help you at every step of the selling process –  from setting the right price with our Marketing Consultation, based on good advice and proven area active and sold's. 

You can still love your home- but another adventure awaits, and a good mental attitude will help you to formulate with us the right plan and execute an effective Marketing Campaign. - SOLD
