10 Steps to Selling Like a Pro


Selling your home can be very emotional and at times a very intensive process.  When you are ready to sell, make sure you are informed.  Being informed can save you precious time and money.  Below, you will find a list of topics that you should be aware of when selling your home.  Be sure to take a read and send us a quick message if you have any further questions.





STEP 1

THE TALK


Just like buying, there are many factors involved with deciding to sell.  We’ll sit down with you and go through the reasons and motivation for you to sell.  To start you off, here are some pointers:


  • Why do you want to sell?
  • Is it the right time?
  • Is it a seller’s market?
  • Need to sell now or can you wait?
  • How flexible are you, in terms of when to sell?
  • Is your house ready to be sold as is?

STEP 2

THE DECISION

​​

After our meeting, you should have all the information you need to help you decide on what you want to do next.


  • Sleep on it, and think about what you’d like to do
  • Make the right decision
  • Weigh out the pros and cons

STEP 3

THE EVALUATION

We will help you determine the value of your home using current market data and in-depth analysis.


  • How much is your home worth in the current market?
  • Get an appraisal
  • Comparative Market Analysis
  • Will you be doing any renovation work prior to selling?
  • This can positively impact the value of your home.

STEP 4

THE FIXER UPPER​​

Everyone has their own reasoning for wanting to sell, but the one factor that’s the same across the board is wanting to get as much as you can for your home.


  • Do you want to do renovations to make it more appealing?
  • Picking renovations based on return on investment
  • Do you need to enhance your curb appeal?
  • Have you had a home inspection done?

  • Keep your receipts and record any repairs done

STEP 5

THE STRATEGY

​​

Now you’ve decided to sell, you got a market evaluation done and your home meets curb appeal – let’s crunch some numbers. As your agents, we’ll help you with:


  • A plan of action for selling your home
  • Determining an effective listing price and strategy
  • Personalized marketing plan

STEP 6

THE LISTING


This is more than just sticking a sign on your lawn and putting a listing up on MLS.


  • Our digital marketing strategies include listing on MLS, a custom website & more.
  • Put up lawn signs & design quality feature sheets.
  • Marketing your home using traditional and innovative methods such as Social Media
    (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

STEP 7

THE STAGING​​

Want to leave a lasting impression?  It’s as simple as creating a “live-in” feeling for the buyer.  The key is to have a potential buyer walk in to your home and they can already see themselves living there.


  • Staging your home: Putting the 3-D effect in action  — Declutter, Depersonalize, and Decorate
  • Prepping an Open House – a successful open house is bound to generate quick interest in your home

STEP 8

THE OFFER​​

Leave all the fine print to us — you have enough on your plate.  We’ll help you review an Offer to purchase and discuss all the details:


  • Receiving offers
  • Counter offering
  • Generating multiple offers
  • Negotiating deals

STEP 9

THE CLOSING

Knowing what to expect will bring you peace of mind.  It’s basically pay-day for the selling but there are still a few remaining things that you need to do:


  • Hiring a Lawyer — there’s a lot of money on the line and a mountain of paperwork.  You want to make sure you hire the right professional to take care of all the complex legal work
  • Closing costs
  • Discharge of Mortgage

STEP 10

THE MOVE


Although you might be leaving a home where you built a lot of memories, you are about to start a new adventure.  Here are some tips to get you started:


  • Updating your address
  • Transferring and/or cancelling utilities and services
  • Canada Post Mail Forwarding
  • Donate unwanted items to charity
  • Have a yard sale
  • Packing supplies
  • Call the movers

CLOSING CHECKLIST

It's almost closing time and there's so much to do!


The Bespoke Real Estate Team wants to ease that burden by providing you with a closing checklist. Just follow along and you'll have covered all your loose ends for a smooth selling experience!

TESTIMONIALS

We bought our first home with Theepan and we can't express enough how impressed we were with the amount of time and effort he put in to helping us find our first home. Theepan sought to get a deep understanding of our wants and needs in order to provide us with great options to evaluate. In a competitive market and despite our tall order, he was able to successfully find what we were looking for and helped us secure what we wanted. He provided us with valuable advice throughout the journey and answered all of our questions to make the first time home buying process as stress free as possible. He was also incredibly professional, always punctual and very flexible to working within our schedules. We highly recommend Theepan and the Bespoke Team to anyone looking for real estate support!

I worked with Theepan to find the house of my dreams. He was literally available at any hour. I’m a shift worker and not many people try to accommodate my random schedule but Theepan did just that. Late night showings, early morning showings were no problem. He took the time to teach me about properties and what was really important. I felt like he genuinely looked out for my best interests!! I would recommend him in a heart beat!

Prez was our realtor agent from Bespoke. A great guy , helped us buy an incredible house in less than 2 months in Scarborough, Toronto! He's got some great professional skills, calm and knowledgeable. Easily approachable and right away attended to our needs when in doubt or question. Overall my husband and I had an excellent experience working with Prez. Would love to work again in the future if possible 😁

I had the pleasure of working with Theepan when I purchased my first investment property. Theepan is extremely easy to work with and is knowledgeable - he had provided me with all the support and tools needed to navigate the process. He is also very attentive, patient, and responsive. From the initial interaction to even after the purchase of the property, he has continued to guide me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Theepan!

Amelin worked tirelessly to ensure I found a great property in my ideal area, within budget. She was professional, patient, and highly knowledgeable. Furthermore, she was well-versed with all property types (detached homes, condos etc.) across the GTA as well as Downtown Toronto. Don't take my word for it - give her a call and see for yourself; you won't be disappointed.

I have worked with Theepan and his team to find tenents for my propery and to also sell my house. There were some complications from my side but the Bespoke team handled everything in a very professional manner. This resulted in very little involvement from my side and prevented a lot of stress for me. The house was sold without any disruption to my daily life. I would definitely work with them again.

Theepan was very helpful during the process and throughout exhibited a high level of professionalism. As inexperienced home buyers he asked insightful questions to assist us in the process. He was committed to viewing as many homes as needed to ensure we found the ideal home. He communicated with us every step of the way, was always available, and explained all the details involved in the process - which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend Theepan to anyone who is looking for an honest and experienced realtor.
