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

TESTIMONIALS

We had the pleasure of purchasing our first house with the help from Theepan and his team at Bespoke. We were referred to him by my uncle who spoke highly of him, and boy did he not disappoint! Theepan was very professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable when it came to not only finding us a home that met all our needs and wants but also educating us on making smart choices when it came to real estate market along the way. He made the house buying process super smooth for us, something that’s often looked as a stressful transaction but was rather the opposite for us. We can go on and on but honestly you don’t need to look further when you’re looking for a realtor team. Bespoke is really IT. We can’t wait to buy our next property with Bespoke. Thank you for everything.

Navi and the Bespsoke team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and provided us with an excellent experience when buying our first family home. Navi was well researched about the neighbourhoods we were interested in and always brought his A game. He successfully negotiated a selling price for our condo which was well beyond what we were expecting, maintaining composure and tact during the entire process making us feel extremely comfortable. Navi is a superb realtor and a compassionate person and I would not hesitate to use him for our next purchase!

Amelin both sold our home and found us a new one that we love!

Her expertise and calm attitude through both processes were greatly appreciated. She is quick to respond, a strong negotiator and asks the right questions to guide you along. Amelin’s persistence gets results while being respectful to all involved. We really enjoyed our time with her and will work with her again for any future homes we buy/sell.

I would highly recommend Amelin to anyone that is looking for a realtor. She works hard to ensure you get into a home that fits your needs, future plans and budget.

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 😁

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!

Being a landlord can be stressful but Navi has made the whole process seamless. He is very responsive and knowledgeable and is always available to discuss my concerns or any questions. Would definitely recommend this team!

We dealt with Theepan from bespoke when selling our house and he explained us everything and walked us through the whole process. He helped us with everything we needed to do in order to get the top dollar for our home, and he delivered. Highly recommended! Thank you to your 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!

I had many questions throughout the buying process and Theepan always answered them in a timely and helpful manner. He also asked the right questions to determine what my definition of a ‘perfect home’ (style, pricing, neighbourhood, etc. etc.) before making recommendations on prospective homes. I really appreciated his patience and availability – especially spending many evenings and weekends looking at homes in different neighbourhoods, different styles of houses, renovated/non-renovated homes, etc. until I found exactly what I wanted. I never felt any pressure from Theepan to put in an offer on a house I did not want. He is also very knowledgeable of the market and provided very frank feedback about the properties (pros and cons). I would definitely recommend Theepan to anyone who is looking for a helpful and professional real estate agent!!
