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

Working with Theepan and the Bespoke team was like hitting the “easy button” at Staples! Everything from the initial consultation to moving in was so seamless. Theepan also empowered us with thought-provoking questions which helped tremendously, and we felt so comfortable asking all our stupid questions. We’ve already recommended Bespoke to our friends and family, and they’ll definitely be our go-team for all our real estate questions going forward. Keep up the great work guys!

Navi is extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and has a very calm demeanor. The home buying/selling process is known to be one of the most stressful times in ones life and Navi helped navi-gate (see what I did there? 😏) us through that with little to no stress. He was very patient with us when seeing so, so many homes & offered expertise when we had loads of questions. I would highly recommend Navi for your home buying/selling needs! Thanks Navi!! <3

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Majury. She was quick and efficient with finding us a rental when we weren’t ready to buy. She even found some good potential properties and helped steer us in the right direction when we were ready to purchase our first home. Majury went above and beyond and would recommend her to all of our friends and family! What a great asset to your team!

Theepan was our realtor for the sale of our home recently. He was extremely knowledgeable, always professional, detail-oriented, tenacious, and intuitively customer focused. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs an experienced realtor whom they can trust. As our family grows, we look forward to working with Theepan again in the future.

Navi was an exceptional professional in helping my wife and I purchase two properties and sell one in a short period of time. One characteristic that stands out the most is his integrity through providing advice with his client's interest in mind.

That said, on more than one occasion during our experience, Navi really challenged us to think and consider all options before making a decision. He could have easily provided us with what we wanted to hear in making an offer on a property that we wanted to act on in the heat of the moment. Instead he challenged us to consider all possible options before making a final decision.

One final memorable example of Navi's professionalism was his willingness to endure and fight for his clients. Navi was at the helm of an eight party bidding war for what would become our home. He was prepared, and kept us informed throughout the four hour process.

Because of his determination and persistence we came out on top and secured the property that we wanted.

Buying and selling a home can be an intense and enduring process, that is why we need professionals such as Navi to help guide us through the process with the client's interests in mind.

Thank you Navi for all your hard work.

We worked with Navi & Majury to purchase our first home and had a very smooth & positive experience! They were extremely professional, responsive, and organized which made for a seamless process. Their years of experience & very strong negotiation skills resulted in us finding the perfect home well within our budget, which is extremely challenging to achieve given the current market. As first time home buyers, we would highly recommend working with Navi & Majury to help you navigate the real estate industry! Huge thanks to them & the Bespoke team!

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!

We bought our first home and second home through Yathi Manimaran from Bespoke. We referred Yathi to our friends and family and as usual he didn't disappointed, rather went extra mile.

Yathi is a very patient, calm and very knowledgeable person in restate business. We bought our first house in January 2020 in Oshawa. Just before COVID , there was a lot of bidding war going on that time. He secured our preferred house. We bought our 2nd house in January 2022. There is so much bidding war everywhere now. But he was still able to find the property that we were looking for and won the bid for us.

Yathi is a superb negotiator and the most professional person I have ever seen in this field. He might be young but don't be fooled by his age though. He is a full time realtor. He was able to find our 1st house in 1 month and second house in 2 weeks. He always answered any questions or doubts I had during the process. He would always pick up my phone and answer my questions. Even if he missed my call he would always text me that when he will call back and always kept his promise.

Yathi also was able to secure a house for my family friend. He would not only show you the property but will also do the related research in terms of his client's preference (school, day care, nearby amenities, Safe environment, residential/ investment property, rental income opportunity in laws unit, cashflow analysis etc.).

Yathi knows how to find the appropriate property to meet his clients needs and expectations. The 1st house that he secured for us in 2020 was $590K and now its $1.2m after just 1 year. Even the 2nd house (4 plex) he secured the deal less than 30K what we budgeted for originally beating other 48 bidders. The house he helped to secure for my family friend was for $625K but within 1 month a house opposite to my friend's was sold for $750K in Oshawa in 2021.

If anyone wants to buy there 1st home or investment property or commercial property, he is the perfect person someone can rely upon for sure. I will keep referring him to everyone in my friends and family cycle cause he is the best:). Thanks to the bespoke team to have such a talented person in their team. I wish them all the best😊
